Today divers discovered that the right engine was still attached to the plane

Today divers discovered that the right engine was still attached to the plane. Previously, investigators believed that both engines had been sheered from the wings during the emergency landing.
As one team of investigators used sonar to scour the Hudson for the missing left engine, another prepared to draw the 80-ton plane from the frigid waters with the use of a crane and to carefully place it on a barge, Higgins said at a news conference Friday.
Once the aircraft is on the barge, officials will remove the flight recorders or the "little black box," a veritable treasure trove of in-flight information for the doomed plane's last moments, from the tail section. The plane will then be taken to a "secure" location for examination.
"We made an effort to try and remove the recorders while the plane was in the water," Higgins said. But the limited dive time caused by the extreme cold and powerful currents made retrieving the recorders "not possible."
