Search Still on for Engine; but It's 'Not Going Anywhere'

The missing left engine from the US Airways jetliner that landed in the Hudson River still hasn’t been located, the New York Times reports. Still, there’s no hurry, a transportation authority says, because “it’s not going anywhere.” Police and army boats using sonar haven’t pinpointed any locations, but a transportation safety board briefing last night said that investigators thought they had found the engine.

“If they locate what appears to be the engine, they’ll submerge a remote operating vehicle that has cameras on it to confirm it,” an NYPD spokesman says. Meanwhile, the plane itself is on its way to a New Jersey marina, and its flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder are headed the Washington for examination.
