One engine still attached to US Airways A320

US investigators on 17 January said the right engine is still attached the US Airways Airbus A320 that landed in the Hudson River in New York City on 15 January.

The National Transportation Safety Board also plans to examine radar data for evidence for a flock of birds along the flight path.
