    One Janis Krums (a man) went to rescue people from the Hudson, and sent this picture via Twitter, believed to be the first of the crash.

    Citizen journalism — and perhaps useful to crash investigators and insurers.

    Continental Airlines flight 1404 was taking off from Denver, headed to Houston, when it veered off the runway and crashed. 38 people were injured, none seriously.

    One of the passengers posted only-just-after-event messages (tweets) on Twitter about his experiences – a fine example of Web 2.0 almost operating on the Other Side.

    “Holy f***ing sh*t I was just in a plane crash!” conveys a certain immediacy, I think. Poor soul couldn’t even get a drink at the bar afterwards!

    Thanks to Bruce Carton for the steer.
