Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. say a number of employees of the banks were on board a US Airways plane that crashed into New York's Hudson River.
Wells Fargo spokeswoman Mary Eshet said Thursday that three employees of the San Francisco-based bank were on US Airways Flight 1549, and all are safe.
At Charlotte-based Bank of America, spokeswoman Nicole Nastacie said the nation's largest bank was confirming the whereabouts of its employees and working with authorities to gather more information.
Authorities said the flight headed for Charlotte crashed after striking a bird. Rescuers pulled the more than 150 passengers and crew members into boats before the plane sank.
At Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, the flight was still listed on information screens as a pending arrival, scheduled to land at 5:16 p.m. and pull into gate 5B.
