Tonight on AC360°, we take you inside the cockpit of a plane where a passenger is at the controls after the pilot died in flight. Some very tense moments. Air traffic control operators did an amazing job helping the passenger safely land the plane.
And, don't miss Erica Hill's webcast on the daring landing and tonight's other headlines during the commercials. Watch our WEBCAST

i'm not sure which one is scarier...phil spector's mug shot or the white house bunny...
@ Jack– I think Pirates will be the biggest Halloween custome! next to the Polar Bear diver...
Have a wonderful night everyone! Be safe.
What a lunatic. Stop bothering the bears. It's bad enough they're in captivity.
I wish everyone a productive and pleasant Tuesday. Thank you!
Now, I'd jump in with sharks, but not polar bears, that's just crazy!
Goodnight, sleep tight, and don't let the polar bears bite!
I never thought there would be such a Blast at the white house! they had a great time!
@Anderson,
that was kind of funny.. Clearly, she does have issues to jump in with Polar Bears!!
Interesting mix, great show, Thank yhou Anderson, Erica, David, Kaj, and everyone who contributed tonight!
Yeah....What possess a person to jump in with the polar bears? Anderson, its never a good idea to jump in any zoo animals cage! This lady maybe need to seek some help.
Good night Anderson, Erica and my fellow bloggers! Have a great sleep and a wonderful tomorrow! Chat with you then! 🙂
HAHAHAHA, yep, the woman has problems. That is correct, Anderson.
Anyway, goodnight everybody. HAve a good day tomorrow. Be careful!
Crazy lady jumping in with the bears, what was she thinking?
JoAnn: I am sure that the leader of the free world will be able to cope with an animal...the picture of him and Bo running down the hallway was so amazing...bonding has already taken place
An amazingly busy, busy night on the blog.
Good night Anderson, Erica, David G (G stand for great).
Good night fellow bloggers, a real pleasure, as always.
@Jack – i'm with you on the Spector mug shot! (but i can't call Anderson or Erica only you can)
Polar bear woman nuts!!
Anderson,
thanks for another great show! You've kept me informed and smiling, always smiling! Good night and thanks again, love. 🙂
That polar bear woman is a MORON.
why would you jump into a place that has polar bears.....but it does remind me of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy....lol
Anderson, Erica and Team 360 thanks for a great news
show for tonight enjoyed the mix of stories. Keep up the
good work.
It's already that time?? Alright, well Good Night Guys! I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else but you!! My 360 buddies!!
@jasmine- i wish i had a dog too.
Goodnight yall
Is it true that Ted Kennedy gave the Obama's the dog?
well i would not get between a chihuahua and whatever it was eating. this woman is just nuts. the things that go through some people's minds just are beyond words sometimes...
Hey Jack tell us about the costume!
Portugese waterdog is so adorable.
Love President Obama sense of humor. He does not have the "I am Mr. President." act when he was with those children. Talk to Easter bunny ear!! So cute.
I hope somebody interviews the polar bear woman. I would love to know what she was thinking.
Great Show AC360!!! Good night everyone!
Bo is definitely a beau!
If you let someone help you pick out your dog that makes you a truly trusted advisor! At least Caroline Kennedy is a good friend of the family, if anyone tells Shasha and Malia
that Caroline had a pony (Macaroni) when she lived at the White House, the President and Mrs. Obama are in big trouble!
Hi "Bo" don't bury a bone in the White House gardening, please!
Re: The Shot
Jumping into the polar bear exhibit during feeding time? Obviously, this lady is "one brick short of a full load".
If the Obamas needed a "hypoallergenic" dog, it's rare for a shelter dog to meet that qualification. Would be hard to find.
Thanks, Erica, for the heads up on people wanting to get any dog from a breeder. Please, please make sure they're reputable. Sure hope this doesn't go the way Dalmations did when the movie came out and everyone wants a P. Waterdog.
I hav'nt "blinked" since this show started – I could've won that presidential easter story challenge.
The First Family just looked so adorable over the weekend!
Thanks for the highlights of the Easter egg roll.
They were great.
Good one, Jo Ann! 🙂 And here I thought the separation of Church and State was for a reason... for Church also not to meddle in State affairs, not just vice versa.
That Easter Egg Hunt looked like a BLAST!
I understand that these people are upset that the Obama's didn't rescue a dog. But I'm of the opinion that there is nothing wrong with getting a dog from a breeder...My dog came from a breeder because I too have allergies...and I don't remember him promising to rescue a dog...He said they'd like to rescue a dog but they weren't sure they would be able to...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who reads like that to kids...okay, okay, and adults too.
@Mike...Thomas Jefferson? 200 years ago? Footnote: It's 2009. Things have changed just a little.
What a president. I never saw Bush have 1/2 the enthusiasm of Pres.Obama. The Easter Egg Roll was awesome
The egg role was cute, I liked how President Obama talked into the Ester Bunny's ear when the mike didn't work.
Relaxation time of the president.
He deserves! Who does not deserve, right? 🙂
@Nattada, Houston TX. your comment is well taken,probably many will respond, i haven't had time to read all the comments. yes, it added another dimension when we found out how young the pirates were. I don't know. But basically, they are lawless criminals wreaking havoc on the high seas.against the name of international law, jeopardizing ships that are on peaceful missions. So their actions will, and did, have consequences.
OMG, I love the "Benny Hill Theme Song" being played to the Easter Egg Roll! LOL!!
Everytime the Obama family is seen – dooing anyting – we are reinfoced in the belief that we are the smartest, coolest electorate around.! Hooray for them. Good for us!
It's cool because my friend's dog is named Bo Bo! I told her today at school and she was so happy about it!
Can anyone say John Kerry. I can hear President Bush saying Obama has flip flopped again. He should have got the dog from the pound as promised.
The humane society guy is just a downer. This dog was a gift from Senator Kennedy and I for one do not begrudge them that gift. Also they are making a donation to the society . Good gracious they wanted a puppy and they got one that was being re homed for goodness sake. What wrong with that.
Those Obama girls are so cute.
Bo is cute. That is all I am going to say about NOT adopting from a shelter.
I was about to move to Fox News but tonight I remembered why I love AC360, All the people who make this show so wonderful! Luv You all!
The Obama's girls must be eager.
What child is not anxious to know that your 'first dog' (double meaning)?
"Easter Eggroll"? Do you serve sweet and sour sauce with that?
