Janis Krums from Sarasota, Florida posts the first photo of U.S. Airways flight 1549 on Twitter from his iPhone. Thirty-four minutes after Janis posted his photo, MSNBC interviewed him live on TV as a witness (see video below). News coverage at Google. Live video at Fox News. TV reports suggest that everyone survived the crash.

Here's the video of Krums talking on MSNBC.

From Beverly...

Thanks for visiting Teaching Social Media at UCLA!

I have been teaching Marketing classes for the UCLA Extension since 2001. I love sharing the knowledge and passion I have for Marketing and Technology with the business community. I want to thank Karl Kasca, who's been my co-instructor since 2003, for the marketing and research expertise he brings to the classes as well. In addition to co-teaching Social Media, Karl teaches New Media and I teach Global Marketing for the Extension as well.

In addition to teaching, I am Host of Social Media Radio; the co-author of The Power of Real-Time Social Media Marketing; and a contributor to The Huffington Post.I also speak on industry panels, keynote for professional organizations, and am an accredited business writer.
