Sonar crews looking for an engine that dropped off the US Airways jet that ditched in the Hudson River faced a new challenge Saturday: thickening river ice.
The Army Corps of Engineers and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had two survey boats out on the frigid river Saturday hunting for the lost engine.
They planned to be out until sunset, but were wary of ice forming near the shoreline and flowing down river.
The aluminum boats can't work in ice, and the floes can damage the sensitive electronic devices that send out sonar signals.
Can't wait for Hansen's frantic predictions to come true.
