I was just trying to go to the US Airways website when it came up with two links, including one to a page that had this on it:
Quote:

Airline officials are in direct contact with local, state and national authorities and are cooperating fully with emergency response efforts. US Airways™ primary concern at this time is for those on board the airplane and their families.

Does anybody know anything about this? Nothing comes up on their regular homepage about it. The weird part is that the date is in August; I just did a Google search and couldn't find anything. Anyone know what's going on?

It's a template page that accidentally got published, hence the generic URL.

Gee, you would think they would want to make such a test/template inaccessible to the general public.

Obviously - someone screwed up. Humans involved!
All airlines run internal drills like this one to prepare for the unfortunate accident.

The NTSB does not investigate all events. There is a list of criteria that must be met before they even get involved. Same goes with the FAA. I see things happen all the time that don't get investigated...let alone even make the local news.
