New York–The Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board released Coast Guard footage today of the U.S. Airways passenger plane as it conducted an emergency landing into the Hudson River Jan. 15, 2009.
The Coast Guard is conducting a safety zone around the plane, which is now located at Battery Park City, N.Y., while a commercial salvage team is working to remove the plane from the water.
The Coast Guard, New York Police and Fire Departments, New York Waterways and Circle Line ferry rescue teams launched a multi-asset response yesterday when the plane ditched onto the Hudson River, at approximately 3:30 p.m.
Upon initial notification, Coast Guard Sector New York launched a fleet of small rescue boats and the 87-foot Coast Guard Cutter Ridley was diverted to the scene. The Coast Guard Cutter Katherine Walker also arrived on scene to ist in the search and rescue efforts and enforcement of the safety zones.
Three Coast Guard helicopters from Air Station Atlantic City, N.J., and one from Air Station Cape Cod, Mass., worked closely with New York City Police air ets to provide aerial support.
The video was captured by Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service. The purpose of a VTS is to provide active monitoring and navigational advice for vessels in particularly confined and busy waterways. There are two main types of VTS, surveillance and non-surveillance.
Surveillance systems consist of one or more land-based sensors
(including radar, Automated Identification Systems and closed circuit television sites), which output their signals to a central location where operators monitor and manage vessel traffic movement. Non-surveillance systems consist of one or more reporting points at which ships are required to report their identity, course, speed, and other data to the monitoring authority.
The Coast Guard operates 12 Vessel Traffic Centers (VTC): Prince William Sound, Puget Sound, Valdez, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles/Long Beach, Houston-Galveston, Berwick Bay, Louisville, Saint Mary’s River, Port Arthur, Tampa, and New York.

She was the “USS Queens” in WW-II, then the “Excambion” in the golden age of luxury liners, and finally the United States Training Ship “Texas Clipper” in Galveston. As she enters her fourth career in the Texas “Ships To Reefs” program, she still remains the majestic and graceful lady that she’s always been.

RP gives another excellent speech explaining individual liberty vs. govt tyranny. I was only able to capture 10 minutes on my digital camera, but it’s still good. Hope you enjoy!

My car has an evap leak that I cannot afford to fix right now… I did some testing on it, and it’s going to cost far more than I can afford and I NEED to go to work so I can get the $$$ to fix it!
I just read on a website that only certain counties are participating in the emissions testing.
Now.. Here’s another twist… Our tags are from out of state because we just moved here AND expired.
Can we go to a different county to get our car inspected and registered? We do live in Midlothian Texas which is part of Ellis county that requires the major emissions tests though, but since we have a Texas address, could we go to any county to get it inspected and registered? I’ve got to figure this out quick! Help!!! Thanks 
Here’s some info from TX’s site on the participating counties.
Texas has both a safety inspection program and an emissions (I/M) program. Counties participating in the emissions (I/M) program include: Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, El Paso, Travis, and Williamson counties.
From this, it doesn’t look like all counties participate in the emissions program. Any ideas?
Thanks!
You must have proof of residence to register so you cannot live in Dallas and register in Dimebox,yes, a real town name of texas legend.
Ft Worth, where the West begins,Dallas is where the East sort of peters out.
Welcome home.

Creating Madness by author Andrew J. Rafkin is an action thriller that reads like a real-life forewarning of our nation’s ever-looming threat: a terrorist attack on the United States. Andre Petrov is the CEO of South Coast Alarm and receives a contract to safeguard the port of Los Angeles after terrorists launch an attack on the harbor of Galveston, Texas. The United States is on red alert and Petrov teams up with Coast Guard Commander Mike Greer to develop a highly sophisticated security system to detect terrorist activity. After a second terrorist attempt, Andre forms Ocean Reconnaissance Commission and Associates (O.R.C.A.) whose mission is to protect the United States and countries of the free world. Retired Navy SEAL Commander “Reef” Johansson and the beautiful Alexis Mikos, a former Greek Secret Service Agent, plus a handpicked group of security and computer specialists lead O.R.C.A. in an all-out battle against some of the most dangerous Iranian and North Korean terrorist leaders in the world. Using cutting-edge ballistics, and technically advanced Orca boats, can they defeat the enemy and how many lives will be lost as O.R.C.A. joins forces with the CIA, Homeland Security, the Pentagon, and the President to stop the terrorists from destroying the United States of America? With heart-pounding action that pulls the reader into a very real scenario of how precarious our nation’s safety truly is, Rafkin’s novel is an expertly written and eerily accurate foreshadowing of our country’s future.
