 This was the view from my office building, shooting at an angle through tinted glass.

Note the cluster of red lights from rescue vehicles parked along 12th Avenue (of course, you can't see the impressive flashing in the photo).

After work I walked in the bitter cold to where the plane had gone down, but by then the excitement was over and the plane had floated / been pulled clear down to Battery Park.

Here's a crop from a zoom shot of the same scene:

Thanks for posting this. I don't think I've seen the scene from this angle before. Now I understand why they said the pilot landed on the river like it was a runway. (I'm not that familiar with NYC geography.)
