The sonar detected an object 16 feet long and 8 feet wide in about 60 feet of water north of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum on Tuesday afternoon. New York City and State Police say divers confirmed Wednesday around 3 p.m. that it was the plane's engine.
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. The rest of the plane was taken to a New Jersey marina over the weekend.
