Passengers Laura Zych and Ben Bostic of Charlotte, N.C., said they began dating about six months after the famous landing. "We don't take anything for granted. We celebrated the one-month anniversary, two, three, four. We've been waiting for this day," Zych said. Events planned for the rest of the day included a toast at 3:31 p.m., the moment of impact on Jan. 15, 2009, and a return to the water where the plane touched down.
