Somebody on airliners.net pulled this data off flightaware.com (I don’t know how to do it myself):

Here’s something even more spectacular. Go here:

Set the time to 15:25 and watch. USA1549 takes off from runway 4 at LGA just before 1526 and makes it to about 3400 feet over the Bronx before starting a descent. The pilot made a sharp 180, lined it up on the river, dodged a general aviation aircraft coming up the river at 1000 feet in the opposite direction, and then apparently ditched it southbound down the river. Phenomenal, and very quick thinking. From takeoff to ditch was maybe four minutes.

Here is the flight track from Flight Aware:
FlightAware Flight Tracker Map: AWE1549-1231962643-21148-5

Looks like the pilot did a great job of finding a place to land.
