Two videos of the US Airways flight 1549 plane crash / Hudson River plane crash have recently been made available to the public. Taken from surveillance cameras around the Hudson River area, the stunning footage shows how the plane was ditched into the cold waters to avoid a more disastrous end after one of its engines was struck by a flock of birds. Though the shots were taken from a distance, it nevertheless provides a chilling view of the US Airways flight 1549 plane crash.
The first video posted below came from CNN and was taken from a farther vantage point. However, we can still still the waters of the Hudson River splashing as the US Airways plane

UFC 93 results/UFC 93 fight results/UFC 93 Franklin vs Henderson
Looking for UFC 93 results / UFC 93 fight results? Eager to find out who won the UFC 93 Franklin vs Henderson match? Or how about the results of the other main event of UFC 93, Coleman vs Rua. If you are looking for the results of these fights plus the other matches on the UFC 93 card, then you are at the right place as this page will post the results of these matches. But since the fights haven't started as of this writing, let us first look at the analysis of each fight courtesy of Steve Cofield of Yahoo Sports. He has also made his picks for every fight on schedule based on his expert opinion as well as inputs
It is interesting to note that there is not title at stake in the main event, Franklin vs Henderson fight. And they aren’t even fighting at middleweight, as UFC 93’s main event is a light heavyweight match up. What these former champions are fighting for is prestige and the honor of coaching the United States team on the next season of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show, which has a U.S. vs. United Kingdom theme. Also, a win over Franklin followed by a victory over Bisping would likely put Dan Henderson very close to a rematch with current champion Anderson Silva.
Rich Franklin vs Dan Henderson
This is a rough fight to call. Chances are that it goes the distance unless one of fighters lands a huge bomb. The fight is decided by who gets to fight to their strength. If Hendo gets it to the ground, he'll nullify Franklin's striking. Henderson is asking for a decision loss if he allows Franklin to box for the majority of the fight. I see Henderson getting it to the ground often enough to eek out a win. PICK: HENDERSON
Mark Coleman vs Mauricio Rua
This could be a rough night for Coleman. Rua and his camp are still irate about the way Coleman and the rest of Hammer House behaved in the ring and the lockerroom after the last fight in Pride where Rua suffered a fluke broken arm. A focused, angry, in-shape Rua is one of the best fighters in the world. I see this as the beginning of run that gets Rua back in the pound-for-pound discussion. Coleman's only shot to win is ground and pound but he's already said that he respects Rua's jiu-jitsu too much to risk it. "The Hammer" wants to throw with Rua. That's bad news for the 44-year-old. Hopefully, his face doesn't resemble his look after the loss to Fedor Emelianenko back in 2006. PICK: RUA
Alan Belcher vs Denis Kang
Kang is an import from Japan where he fought solid competition. He ripped off a 23-fight unbeaten streak from 2003 to 2006. Recently, he lost 2-of-4 fights and his most impressive wins in Pride came against smallish middleweights in Akihiro Gono and Ninja Rua. A focused Belcher is dangerous if he keeps the fight on the feet. Kang has been known to slug it out. Belcher really tore up Sean Salmon, Kalib Starnes and Jorge Santiago, who is now the Sengoku middleweight champ. Kang should win but I like the value on Belcher. PICK: BELCHER
Jeremy Horn vs Rousimar Palhares
Horn is a gamer but is he on a world class submission level? He came up short last time out against a great jiu-jitsu fighter in Dean Lister. Palhares appears to be on another level even from Lister. The Brazilian does need to improve his takedown skills. He had all sorts of trouble getting Dan Henderson to the floor. It shouldn't be as difficult with "Gumby." Keep an eye Palhares' kicks, they're an underrated part of his game. He'll catch Horn at some point. PICK: PALHARES
Marcus Davis vs. Chris Lytle
This is a big fight for Davis. He must win it to get another shot at a top-10 170-pounder. Otherwise, he may be relegated to Lytle's current role of gatekeeper. Lytle is a good striker but he too often throws caution to the wind. Being a former professional boxer at a higher level than Lytle, Davis is better defensively and shouldn't be as easy to catch with clean shots. It'll be interesting to see if this one goes to the ground. Lytle can be slick on the ground. This fight's placement on the PPV card is a compliment to both of these guys. It seems like a slam dunk that the fight is in the running for some sort of post-fight bonus award. PICK: DAVIS
Ivan Serati vs Tomasz Drwal
These are the fights that are impossible to bet on. You basically have two fighters making their UFC debut. Drwal did fight Thiago Silva at UFC 75 but that was over 16 months ago and Silva was way out of his league. Watching some of Drwal's fights, he appears to be comfortable on the feet and on the mat. Serati went into freak out mode in a few of his fights, giving up his back quickly. I'll roll with Drwal, who also looks like a more natural light heavyweight. Serati may have some gas tank issues if this one reaches the second or third round. PICK: DRWAL
Tom Egan vs John Hnathaway
This is another tough one. Egan, 20, only has six professional fights. Is he being thrown to the wolves too early simply because of his Irish heritage? He appears to be more a ground guy than Hathaway. Total crap shoot here. PICK: HATHAWAY
Nate Mohr vs Denis Siver
Nothing motivates like a potential pink slip. Both of these guys may not see the UFC for a while with a bad loss here. Mohr is coming off a year layoff for knee surgery. His leg was shredded by Manny Gamburyan at UFC 79. I don't love what I've seen from Mohr but I think the price is too heavy on Siver. At least he has his pre-med degree to lean on if he loses. PICK: MOHR

Oprah's cocaine past : Oprah was a cocaine addict / cocaine user?
Was Oprah a cocaine addict? Did Oprah really use cocaine regularly in the eighties and even worked on her talk show under the influence? These are just some of the questions being raised as a blockbuster tell-all book has allegedly revealed that the queen of talk, media mogul and role model of many American women was once a cocaine addict.
Randolph Cook, diagnosed with esophageal cancer and with only two years to live has come out with a book about his life with Oprah. He alleges that during his six-month secret love affair with the media mogul, Oprah had been using cocaine regularly and was in
This story, revealed in Cook's "The Wizard of O: My Life with Oprah", can always be brushed off as a sensationalist claim by an ex-lover trying to cash in on his past with a big-time celebrity. However, there seems to be some credence to his story. A National Enquirer investigation seems to back up what Randolph Cook is claiming. During their investigation in 2007, a 17-page court document was discovered at the National Archives and Records Administration in Chicago. The document, entitled "Defendant Oprah Winfrey's Answer to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint at Law," reveals that she had sexual relations with Randolph Cook and that the two used cocaine in each other's presence.
This is one blockbuster revelation. But what makes it even a bigger and juicier story than other celebrity disclosures in the past is Oprah Winfrey. She is the idol of millions, not only in America but around the world. They have put her on a pedestal, idolizing almost her every deed, believing her every word. But then again, everybody makes mistakes, even the best of us, even Oprah. What's more, this happened more than twenty years ago!
