I don't know Airbus hydraulic systems but I wonder if he had a rat or some hydraulic accumulators for some hydraulic power.

IIRC, Airbus don't use the engines for all their hydraulics (correct me if wrong)
Anyway, great job to the pilots, some crazy skill

US Airways is going to lose money on fuel and passenger compensation of tickets, but US Airways is probably thinking:
"CHA-CHING!!!!!!!!!!!!"
On the insurance money they're going to collect for this water-damaged totalled bird.

Cant beleive that it was a double bird strike if it was true, pretty odd.
And for the hydraulics, it has like a 3 system fail safe so im pretty sure the hydraulics were fine as the engines went out.

I can't imagine looking out the window and all of a sudden you go down into a river! Terrifying!
It shows that US Airways Crew are properly trained. The Captain should feel like a hero. Too bad for the birds.
When an aircraft goes into a body of water; inside the Cabin, can water get in? I know that Air passes through the engines to the Cabin.

It could get fixed or sent to the scrap yard, depending on its current condition.
Anyone want to fix a wet soaking aircraft?
