iPhone first responder at US Airways crash into Hudson River

VentureBeat posted the story about Janis Krums, one of the first responders at the site of a US Airways plane crash into the Hudson River today. The plane crashed this afternoon shortly after takeoff from New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

Krums was arriving in a rescue boat and took the picture at right on his iPhone and uploaded it via TwitPic, presumably from one of the numerous Twitter clients available from the iPhone.

Krums tweeted:

http://twitpic.com/135xa - There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.

Less than a month ago (20 Dec 08) that plane crash in Denver was first reported on Twitter. Double Crazy.
