NY Plane Crash On Twitter Pic

A Twitter user is being feted for his picture taken at the scene of yesterday’s plane crash in New York.

Janis Krums captured the dramatic scene on the Hudson River using his iPhone as the ferry he was on moved towards the plane to rescue people.



Posted to Twit Pic, the photo could then be accessed by a link from his Twitter feed where the accompanying Tweet read: “There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.”



According to the New York Daily News, Krums has now become something of a Twitter hero after he sparked the “Internet firestorm”.

The photo has been viewed in its original posting spot over 100,000 times so far and has been displayed on photo-sharing site Flickr by several users.



It has also attracted a deluge of comments from admiring viewers and fellow Twitterers.
