![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The airplane that Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger landed in the Hudson River is being auctioned off -- but some of the passengers of Flight 1549 looking to get a piece of the plane are S.O.L.
Several passengers on Sully's miracle flight have been calling Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services -- the company selling salvaged Airbus A320 -- trying to buy a commemorative piece of the plane.
Dan Akers -- the person running the auction -- says Chartis will sell the plane in one big chunk, not pieces.

So, How does this effect the thirty Mile Zone?
Can you please stop posting crap about regular people and reality tv people? Isn't anyone else tired of these posts?
Come on TMZ, step up your game.

They want a piece of the plane because they defied the odds and lived when a plane had to be ditched in a body of water. I think every single one of them should be given whatever they want! Insurance companies suck!!

It seems like a stupidity. But, if somebody wants to have it, what else can I say???

Passengers who want a piece of the plane are stupid. What do you want a piece of the plane for? You have your life, be happy with that.
BTW - IT"S NOT YOUR PLANE! They shouldn't start giving pieces away. From what I read, you ARE able to buy the plane, just not a piece. So if you want it that bad, buy the whole plane. Does buying the whole plane sound stupid? Just as stupid as thinking you are entitled to a PIECE of something that isn't yours.

This is just stupid, I think the passengers from the plane should receive the pieces for free first and then sell the rest to the public if they want it after that.

By the way, for anyone who may not be aware of this - Chartis is actually the name of the Aerospace Company owned by AIG (yes, THAT AIG)

For Christ's sake! At least let them have the seat they each sat in. That should be sovereign/good luck piece enough to satisfy everyone and the plane stays intact. Come on lawyers! THINIK!!!

You've got enough traffic, TMZ. Stop denigrating and exploiting real news issues!
