Clarion Content

The Clarion Content ran across this one this morning. We found it newsworthy not so much for the content, but rather for what the turnaround time, the incredible speed of it, said about our world.

Orbs Games Limited has developed and released a game call "Hero on the Hudson" based on US Air Flight 1549's brilliant landing on the Hudson River. According to Newsday the game gives this scenario to open play, "'Both engines are out. The plane is too low and too slow to make it to the airport. You decide to make [an] emergency landing in the river.' - And allows a player to control the aircraft using a computer keyboard's left and right arrows."

The game was the featured game of the day Friday at Tastyplay.com. Newsday reports gamers gave it three and 1/2 out five possible stars rating.

Flight 1549 landed safely in the Hudson River only sixteen days ago.
