A small plane made an emergency landing on the Hudson River on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, after reporting engine trouble shortly after takeoff from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. The aircraft, carrying two people, touched down on the icy river surface and remained afloat, with both occupants rescued by nearby boats and emergency crews. Officials described the incident as a "miracle," drawing comparisons to the 2009 US Airways Flight 1549 landing. No injuries were reported, and the cause of the engine failure is under investigation.
