Stephen Mallon is an industrial photographer who was on site to photograph the salvage of ditched US Airways flight 1549 which landed in the Hudson earlier last month. He is so far the only photographer that I know of that has had access to the inside of the plane. I always hear about the seat cushions being used as flotation devices, but I never really knew how they were fastened on. It looks like it’s just a lot of Velcro holding the seat cushion in place.

I’ve posted some images below, but you should really check out his entire gallery of the salvage of flight 1549.
