Twitter, Flickr, Crowdsourcing News

Twitter and other social media have been at the forefront of breaking news again today... A plane crash landed in the Hudson this afternoon. The news was out almost instantly on Twitter. Photos showed up just a short time later.

@jkrums posted the first photo of Hudson plane crash from an iPhone. Amazing photo! http://ad.vu/2hrc – he was in first rescue group.
