Monroe Resident On Water-Landed US Airways Flight
There's a Louisiana connection to yesterday's dramatic US Airways
jet crash-landing into New York's Hudson River. Former Monroe
resident and Neville High graduate Andrew Gray was aboard that plane
when it skidded into the icy water. Andrew's mother, Mary Gray, says
she actually got a post-rescue phone call from her son BEFORE she
knew there had been a plane crash.
Mrs. Gray says Andrew tells her it's a miracle that no one fell off
the wings of the US Airways jet as it floated in the icy river
current. The Grays now live in Fayetteville, NC.

until now, we asked former US Attorney Harry Rosenburg if this
really is it. Is Jefferson, who faces bribery, racketeering and
conspiracy charges, really going to face a jury in May?
Rosenburg says perhaps we'll all finally get an explanation of the
$90-thousand in marked cash found in Jefferson's freezer.
