1. Call this guy

[SallyMander]

2. Hee!

I about died when Click and Clack turned up in that movie :rofl:

[Chovexani]

5. Me too!

Man I love everything Pixar does. :rofl:

[SallyMander]

9. We just finally saw WALL-E the other day

Now i want a WALL-E for a pet :D

[jobycom]

44. "2001" meets "Lassie."

:rofl:

Amazing film. This year some of the blockbusters were better than the art films.

[jobycom]

43. Yeah, and that's arguably their worst film (some would say "A Bug's Life."

Either way, when your worst is two cuts above most everything else out there, you're doing pretty well.

3. Where the Hell is King Kong when you really need him?

"Hey King... look at that big banana over there in the river!!"

[lizziegrace]

4. Heh...

Don't you wonder though? As I watch video and still images of that plane, I wonder how they're going to get it out of the river without dismantling it.

[SoDesuKa]

25. He's in a Retirement Community in Florida

King Kong is certainly old enough to winter over in Florida. You won't see him back in New York until at least April. Call his agent if you want him to do a special job like hauling a plane out of the river. But remember, it will cost you.

6. Barge mounted cranes would be my guess.

Or a crane at the end of a pier.

It should be quite a site, whatever they do.

Then, I imagine, they will have to dismantle it.

[NJmaverick]

37. That would be my guess too. Since it's barge mounted I am sure they will be able to get a crane

that can pick the thing up in one piece.

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Call AAA

[LadyoftheRabbits]

8. ...

:rofl:

[lizziegrace]

10. I need a tow

uh, yeah. How will you be able to see it? Yeah. It's the only plane sitting in the river. Yeah, I have the platinum membership. Towing up to 100 miles or 100 tons, right?

Thanks!

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Also, there's a reflective sticker on one of the landing gear struts

'Course, those are under water. But, still...



:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

11. Giant Chopsticks.

Duh.

:7

[lizziegrace]

12. Well duh!

of course!

:P

[lizziegrace]

14. I'm still amazed

that plane is still completely intact. :wow:

What an amazing turn of events.

[BrotherBuzz]

15. I would not recommend hiring these boys

[lizziegrace]

16. Oops

;)

[Barack_America]

17. Fill it full of ping pong balls and wait for the glacial melt.

It'll be on shore in no time.

[lizziegrace]

18. :-)

Just float it downriver. ;)

[Aristus]

19. ...

Oh, sorry...thought this was a joke thread...

[lizziegrace]

22. It could be

I wouldn't have posted the thread if this had been a tragedy. But since everyone (except one) walked away and all are alive, I started thinking ahead. How do you get an Airbus out of the river? :shrug:


:hug:

[Radical Activist]

20. sham-wow!

[LadyoftheRabbits]

21. Hahaha!

That made me laugh out loud. I'm sure I scared the roommate. :P

[Radical Activist]

23. good!

I bet that guy was playing three card monty scams on the street three months ago.

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. Is there anything it can't do?

And must one hold it between the thumb and finger, with pinky raised, while slightly stooped over? Sort of limits the potential market...

[leftofthedial]

24. around staten island

[Grey]

27. Could you crane it up on a

barge, take the wings off and barge it down (up) the river?

[pokerfan]

28. Depends

If it's still under warranty just call Airbus (0845 200 4972) and tell them where they can find their plane.

[lizziegrace]

29. Ha!

:rofl:

Hey guys. Come get it. ;)

Just let US Airways miss one payment...

31. In New York? All the useful parts will be harvested by hoodlums by midnight.

The rest will be graffitti.

[pokerfan]

33. the wheels were probably already gone before everyone had been rescued

[jberryhill]

32. Easy....

You take Amtrak to Penn Station, then get a cab over to west 48th street, from there you swim out to the plane.

You'll have to wait a while before takeoff though.

34. Yoda.

[lizziegrace]

35. you mean

levitation or something? That would freak out a few tough New Yorkers. ;)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

36. The force is strong with Brooklyn yo

:D

Mornin Tish :*

How's you? :hug: :loveya:

[surrealAmerican]

38. I was wondering that, too.

Pull it out to sea, and then sink it?

[Sanity Claws]

39. A huge crane and oversized barge

The NY Times just described how it's going to be done.
I'd go to see it but it's only 15 degrees outside. Brrrr.

[DS1]

40. make 50 people eat 150 taco bell burritos

strap them to the fuselage, and about 40 minutes later fly that motherfucker out

[jobycom]

46. Why starting adding casualties now?

[jobycom]

41. Practice, practice, practice.

[no name no slogan]

42. Whichever way it wants to get out

Or, "very carefully"



(neither one is very funny)

[Auggie]

45. Who would want anything after it's been in the Hudson River?

Yuk

[Arugula Latte]

47. Balloons.

Big balloons.
Lots of 'em.
