On last Thursday, US Airways Flight 1549 was forced to make an emergency landing after the jet lost power. Command pilot chose to land in the icy waters of the Hudson River and both totally 150 passengers and all the workers on the plane were saved out safely.

That’s really a miracle more than an accident. Lots of Newspaper and news program reported it and video sharing websites cannot wait to share the news videos, landing and rescuing live videos on the internet.

Wanna watch the videos about the miracle? Go to YouTube or some other video sharing website and search “water landing”. Oh, remember a FLV Player is needed since the popular video format on those sites is *flv.

Download the videos and save them. Or directly link to watch them following the url sent by your friends. It is excited to know more about the event and share more.

Here recommends free FLV Player for Windows and for Mac OS, which are both from Sothink. The Sohink free FLV Players are small sized, simple to use and clean. They can smoothly play the Flash videos downloaded from websites and directly play the ones following the url of the FLV videos online.

And Sothink Web Video Downloader can conveniently capture and download Flash videos online. Connect Sothink Web Video Downloader (it also has an application for Mac OS) with Sothink FLV Player (or the version for Mac) to make up an excellent video enjoyment couple and enjoy interesting Flash videos online.

Then you can enjoy the video conveniently on your computer.

However, if you don’t want to install an independent program which will occupy your disk space and prefer to use Firefox browser, I suggest you to install another plug-in – Sothink Web Video Downloader for Firefox. Even though it is not as powerful as Sothink Web Video Downloader, for the purpose of capturing videos from Internet, it is enough for you.
