Did You See The US Airways Jet?

Tail-End of the Jet

Around 3PM this afternoon, you probably heard sirens in Journal Square. Well, there were lots of police mobiles in the area because a truck was transporting the plane. It took the Bergen Avenue then the Boulevard because it couldn’t go through the bridge going to Newark.

Streets were blocked and I was stuck in the car and unable to take pictures!

Did you see fuselage from US Airways flight 1549?

PHOTOS: US Airways jet that crash landed in the Hudson River is driven through the streets of Hudson County

Freelance photographer Richard J. McCormack was among the Hudson County residents taken aback this afternoon when they spotted the front portion of US Airways Flight 1549 being driven on a flatbed tow truck through the streets of Jersey City and North Bergen.

McCormack reports that the fuselage, which had been brought to Weeks Marine Inc. in Jersey City for the federal investigation after it crash landed in the Hudson River, was supposed to head to Newark via the Officers Shawn Carson and Robert Nguyen Memorial Bridge, but the plane couldn’t fit and hit the top of the bridge.

Officials then had to back it down and take it back up Communipaw Avenue and onto Kennedy Boulevard to Montgomery Street, passing the St. Peter’s College campus before turning right onto Montgomery, then left onto Bergen Avenue. These photos were taken on Montgomery Street and Bergen Avenue.

The plane was then headed to Journal Square, McCormack said, and up the Boulevard to 86th Street in North Bergen.
