It was pretty smashed, the wings were laying beside the fuselage on each side, and I couldn't see the floats. I didn't think it was survivable.


 


There was a scar on the hillside where it impacted and skidded 6 up the hill. That was probably about 75 yards long, and as we approached the aircraft you could smell the fuel. The wings were swept back. The engine compartment 7 of the plane had broken off or buried itself into the ground. What else I just have to say?


 


The fuselage itself was surprisingly intact, and that's where all of the survivors 8 and everybody else were located.


 


And what was it like inside the aircraft? How would you describe that scene?


 


Well, it's a jumbled 9 mess, and it's wet and, as I just said, fuel smell. The volunteers who got in there, spent the night there, were frazzled. They were dirty and wet and tired themselves. They had been treating these guys overnight. But as I said, it was relatively 10 intact, and they were able to ride out the weather there.


 


Is a takeover under way? And has voter rebellion taken a foothold? Well, listen to these primary election results and decide for yourself. First up, Colorado. Senator Michael Bennett beat Andrew Romanoff, capturing the Democratic nomination 12 for Senate. And the endorsements 13 were definitely high profile. President Obama had Bennett's back while former President Clinton pushed for Romanoff. Connecticut, winning the Republican Senate primary, former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon. She'll now battle State Attorney General Dick Blumenthal for that seat. Minnesota, former Senator Mark Dayton barely snagged the Democratic nomination for governor. He'll now take on GOP nominee 14 Tom Emmer and independent party candidate Tom Horner.


 


Former Illinois congressman 15 Dan Rostenkowski has died. He rose from Chicago's rough and tumble political scene to become one of the most powerful politicians on Capitol Hill. Rostenkowski first entered Congress in 1959. He eventually became chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. The Democrat 11 played a key role in passing major both social security and tax code reforms, along with controversial expansion of Medicare. Rostenkowski was defeated in 1994, after becoming mired 16 in scandal, eventually pleaded guilty to corruption 17 charges, and served over a year in federal prison. Dan Rostenkowki was 82 years old.


 


The JetBlue flight attendant who grabbed a couple of beers and slid down the escape chute has been released on bail 18. This is new video of him walking out of jail last night and into the media frenzy 19.


 


Scar on your head, is that from the suitcase falling? Is it? Tell me about what you think about all the support you've got, you know what public put about it.


 


 


Well, it's been very, very appreciated, and it seems like something here is resonated with a few people, and that's kind of I need.


 


You know you lose your job?


 


More than likely.


 


Do you care about that anymore? Tell me about it.


 


No comment at this time.

There're a lot of wonderful people out there.
