CHARLOTTE, NC (WABC) -- A group of people who know something about close calls with icy water are the latest to take the 'Ice Bucket Challenge'

Passengers who survived the "Miracle on the Hudson" took the challenge to raise money for ALS on Saturday. They were dosed with the water in Charlotte, North Carolina in front of the plane that Captain Sullenberger safely landed on the Hudson River.

Captain Sullenberger made the emergency landing after a bird hit two of its engines in January of 2009.
