New York plane crash pic is Twittered

A perfect example of the value of citizen journalism in a crisis. A plane goes down in the Hudson, and eyewitness Janis Krums takes a picture on his iPhone, sends it to his Twitter site with this linking comment:

http://twitpic.com/135xa - There's a plane in the Hudson. I'm on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.
It goes around the world.
