Own a Piece of History...

'Miracle on Hudson' plane up for auction

The plane, an Airbus A320-214, is listed for sale "AS IS/WHERE IS" at a salvage yard in Kearny, New Jersey.

The wings, included in the sale, have been separated from the body of the aircraft and the bid site for the aircraft lists "severe water damage throughout the airframe" and "impact damage to underside of aircraft." The engines are not included.

I wouldn't mind having a small piece of it as a talisman.

Over the years, plane parts taken off crashers have been involved in later crashes. Those cut that way talk about curses and ghosts and such.

[Coyote]

True. But the folks from this one were talking about angels.

Would be cool if some museum snatched it up.

The Ghost of Flight 401. Flight 401 was a plane that crashed in the Florida Everglades in the 70's. They made the real event into a TV movie with Ernest Borgnine. They salvaged parts off the crashed jet and the ghost of the dead pilot would show up during flights on planes that used the parts. It is a true well documented story. In one instance his ghost warned a stewardess that there would be a fire, and wouldn't you know it, there was a galley fire during the flight.

In this instance though nobody died, so no ghosts.
