More citizen journalism from David Martin resulted in the following time-lapse video embedded below, of the Airbus A320 aircraft submerged in the Hudson's icy waters and eventually extricated by crane. It's a strangely captivating bookend to the crash landing, which thankfully saw all 155 passengers safely rescued by nearby watercraft.

After its chilly rescue, the Airbus A320 actually went on the auction block. It's listed "as is," so if you're hankering for a salvaged aircraft sans engines, wings on the side, get on down to Kearny, New Jersey, to claim your insanely large souvenir.
