As you remember, last year, January 15th, to be exact US AIRWAYS Flight 1549 made an emergency landing in the Hudson River. Captain Chelsea "Sully" Sullenberg was the hero pilot saving all 150 lives on board the Airbus A320. The plane is now up for bids. Although, I do not thing the wings are included.

The Plane
On a other note:A Jewish teen was questioned on the airplane for having teffilin-(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tefillin), set of small boxes containing biblical passages that are attached to leather straps. A passenger thought it was a bomb, so they aborted take off. The teen explained the ritual after being questioned by crew members of the flight, which had left LaGuardia Airport around 7:30 a.m. and was operated by Chautauqua Airlines, authorities said.
Officials with the airline, however, said crew members "did not receive a clear response" when they talked with the teen, according to a statement issued by Republic Airways, which owns Chautauqua. The airplane made an emergency landing in Philadelphia.
