Stars align, for passengers and photographers alike

Posted on 16 January 2009 by Terry

This is a must read article from Reuters. Tells the story of photographers getting their images after the US Air crash.

“By the time I got it all together and headed back to the window, the plane had drifted out of sight behind a water tower. Brendan ingested his disk into our remote photo editing system and ran out of the office to the river. I stood at the window and within a couple minutes the plane drifted back into view, just as a ferry arrived on the scene. While this was happening, photo editors in Washington started to edit Brendan’s pictures.

While looking at the plane I was shouting out info to the journalists who were writing the story: “It’s a big plane, looks like a US Airways plane I think, lots of people on the wings.””
