Great reporting

A couple of you have posted on the Hudson-landing story already, but I want to draw your attention to this particular story, which is an astonishingly good example of reporting at its best. The reporter shows us the story in clear, powerful, well-modulated prose describing the words and experiences of a range of sources. It's a real model of journalistic excellence in breaking news.

PS: note how I embedded the URL to the story into the text itself. Judging by several of the posts I've seen recently, many of you need to experiment a bit more with Blogger. To embed a URL into your text, highlight the text in which you want to place the hyperlink, click the icon on the toolbar above that pictures a globe with a chain link on it and paste your URL into the pop-up.
