Starts about 2 minutes in. It zooms in a little later.
Edit: While these aren't all videos, it's from http://www.montysmegamarketing.com/plane-crash-hudson-river-first-pictures-came-via-flickr-tumblr-twitpic which also has a really neat map of the route taken: http://imnotsayin.blogspot.com/2009/01/us-airways-fight-1594-crash-flight-path.html

"Previously on Lost"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuFk1KKdNFw&eurl=http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
A comedy piece about one man's journey to catch up in two days. If you haven't seen the show, expect spoilery bits, but I suspect you won't really be interested anyway.

Oh, and Mogri? How do we get a sound on your phone...we're going to need to try something from the video.

Some SongSmith Videos:
SongSmith was something developed as Microsoft Research that MS didn't think was a good product so the researchers used their own money to spin it out on its own. The point of it is that you sing into the mic and the app creates accompaniment for you.

Here is the add they came up with while at MS Research...it's pretty painful to watch and very very long

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oGFogwcx-E

More entertaining things are a bunch of vids of ppl using it by stripping the vocals from famous songs and feeding it into the app to see what it produces:

Roxane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypycpKQxXR0&feature=related

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BZk6aZp9xE&feature=related

Creep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM1GUk1SBmY&feature=related

There are many more out there as well, enjoy
