Investigations into the crash of U.S. Airways landed at the Hudson River last week could take up to a year, but the lessons learned after the spectacular event will endure much more, said Monday one of the principal investigators of the case.

"I think this will be studied for decades," said Robert Benzon, investigator in charge of the case for the National Transportation Safety (NTSB, for its initials in Spanish).


Benzon said the fact that the 155 people aboard had survived the cut because the signs and that often accompany the air accidents, and indicated that the lessons of the successful fall on the Hudson River could improve the safety of aircraft.


"I think that something like this there is potential for the emergence of many good things, positive things in the long term," he said.


The Airbus A320 that acuatizó in the river on Thursday was on Monday in a field of dismantling of New Jersey, where he was guarded by employees of the company, federal investigators and police in New York.


"I was surprised it was that the plane intact," said James Marchioni, Weeks Marine supervisor in Jersey City. "Some of the lower panels appeared damaged, but otherwise was quite good."


Marchioni said the NTSB believes that would require "a week or two" to dismantle the vessel so that the parties could be sent to an undisclosed location, where they would be analyzed.


The search for the left engine of the ship was suspended until Tuesday due to ice on the river, that's too dangerous to send divers and sonar equipment.


The black boxes of the plane caught the sound of blows, the sudden loss of power in the engines and the calm of the pilot called for help, evidence supporting the counting of the crew of having collided with a flock of geese a few minutes off.


The pilot, Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, praised for helping save the lives of the passengers said the plane hit birds and lost the functionality of the two turbines shortly after investigators listen to "the sound of blows and a rapid reduction in engine noise, "said Kitty Higgins of the NTSB.


Sullenberger then discussed various possibilities of landing on runways in New Jersey before deciding to attempt a landing in the river, said Higgins.


Nine seconds before ditching, the pilot told passengers to prepare for the impact, said Higgins.


President-elect Barack Obama said Monday he had spoken with the pilot, a native of California, and he said: "I and my crew just did our job."


"That made me think, if everyone did their job _cualquiera that was éste_ as well as it did this pilot, we would be in fairly good condition," said Obama.


Sullenberger, the crew of the plane's pilot and the family are invited to the swearing in ceremony on Tuesday.


The five members of the crew have been harassed to give interviews to the media. But on Monday, the airline and the crew issued several press releases in which they demanded respect for their privacy.


However, the crew said "wanted to give their sincere thanks and appreciation for the amazing show of support, appreciation and good wishes they received from the people and the rest of the world from what happened on Thursday."


They also indicated they are willing to give interviews "when the appropriate time."
