We saw the plane that landed on the Hudson River In charlotte. It wasn’t in a good state. The doors had been taped back on, there was a hole in the nose, a hole in the cowling, and the flaps had also been taped back on. But no one died in the river landing! That was a miracle.
We also had a tour of the town on a bus!
That was quite fun.

Today we spent the day in Charlotte. We went on a tour, which was interesting at the start, but then it got really boring because our driver was a bit boring. We saw the place we're the Charlotte hornets train, and the NFL stadium. There are a lot of banks in Charlotte. Like A LOT of banks! It is a banking district and most of the city is owned by the big banks.
We also went to the Charlotte air museum. This is a massive attraction, because it houses the Miracle on the Hudson plane. The plane is awesome! It was very interesting to see the damage on the aircraft. Did you know that that type of plane’s engine was only designed to withstand 8 pounds of bird? Not a whole flock of Canadian geese. We watched a video about the event, and the recovery of the aircraft. It was a great museum! They had drink bottles at the store, so of course, I bought one :)
Now I am getting really excited because our next destination is the rocket city...Huntsville!!!
