Sonar may have located jet engine in river

NEW YORK (AP) - January 20, 2009 New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said Tuesday that the object is 16 feet long and 8 feet wide. It's in about 60 feet of water north of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.

The NYPD says the currents are too strong to put a robotic device into the murky water to confirm whether the object is the engine. Divers are in the water trying to examine the object.

The Airbus A320 crash-landed in the Hudson last week after hitting birds and losing thrust in both engines. All 155 people on board survived.
