Found this on YouTube… pretty cool. It’s a 3D reconstruction (looks suspiciously like something out of a flight sim video game) of that US Airways flight that underwent several bird hits and subsequently went into the Potomac River in New York on 15 Jan 09.

Great post from David Pogue in yesterday’s New York Times. Basically, the US Phone companies are making money hand over fist with those “minimum charges” every time you accidentally connect to the ‘net with your cell phone. Not too much of a stretch to imagine Rogers, Telus and good old Ma Bell doing the same…
