Vince Carter was a witness to Thursday's plane crash in the Hudson River.

"I was just sitting there, looking out the window, dead even where the plane hit," Carter said Thursday night before the Nets were defeated by Portland.

"I thought I was watching TV. It landed like it was a movie. It hit like nose first, and you could (hear) the impact. Couldn't believe it. Just couldn't believe it."

Carter's first call was Nets' trainer Tim Walsh.

"You're not going to believe what I just saw," the player said.

Walsh, who already had the TV on, replied, "I think I can guess."
