The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers removed the left engine of Flight 1549 from the Hudson River by crane Friday and lifted it onto a barge.
Shards of metal and wiring were hanging out of the unit and a large portion of the outer shell was missing.
The engine was located with sonar equipment earlier in the week, but divers decided to wait for the weather to warm up before trying to lift it.
The rest of the plane was taken by barge to a marina in Jersey City last weekend.
Thursday, dramatic new video of the plane's landing that was captured by a Con Edison security camera near the utility's 59th Street plant was released.
The 47-minute video gives investigators the longest, continuous record of when rescuers arrived and of how the rescue efforts were carried out.
Con Edison says it initially turned the video over to the National Transportation Safety Board. The agency then approved its release to the media.
Meanwhile, the Port Authority is considering whether to install a new bird detection system at all three major area airports.
It is already in place at JFK International Airport, but could be expanded to LaGuardia and Newark Airports.
The system beeps when birds are detected in a plane's path, allowing air traffic controllers to warn pilots to adjust their course.
Investigators believe a flock of geese ended up knocking out both engines on flight 1549 last week. Everyone aboard survived.
