flight_1549_towing2Imagine being stuck behind this in traffic: This past Saturday, the Airbus A320 that crashed into the Hudson River back in January, was towed through the streets of Jersey City, NJ to a storage warehouse.  US Airways Flight 1549 made yet another move for further investigation by the  National Transportation Safety Board. It will remain here for the next 18 months.The plane was delivered to its new home by two trailers. One carrying the wings and tail section, while the other lugged the actual plane itself.
