Hudson crash airplane goes up for auction

The United States Airways plane which famously crashed into the Hudson River is to be auctioned off online.

The Airbus A320 made the spectacular crash landing last year after after smashing into a flock of geese.

Images of the 155 passengers exiting onto the wings were beamed around the world and pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger instantly gained hero status.

Now the remains of the plane have been listed on the website of Chartis - the insurance company involved.

Proving that insurance companies are the masters of understatement, the ad warns that the plane has "severe water damage throughout airframe" - that's one way of putting it.
