Except Sully actually screwed up and put the passengers life in danger by trying to land on water and rather than returning to the airport. https://www.cbsnews.

  I don't know how you could read the article you linked and come away with that conclusion.

  The link you included says the opposite of what you're implying. > under the circumstances the captain's decision to ditch into the Hudson River was the better choice, documents released Tuesday by a federal safety panel said > He also would have had no way of knowing that he would be successful, and therefore would have been risking the possibility of a catastrophic crash in a densely populated area.

  This was disproven. And is a major plot point in the movie about Flight 1549 (Sully). From Wikipedia: > The NTSB used flight simulators to test the possibility that the flight could have returned safely to LaGuardia or diverted to Teterboro; only seven of the thirteen simulated returns to La Guardia succeeded, and only one of the two to Teterboro. > Furthermore, the NTSB report called these simulations unrealistic: "The immediate turn made by the pilots during the simulations did not reflect or account for real-world considerations, such as the time delay required to recognize the bird strike and decide on a course of action." A further simulation, in which a 35-second delay was inserted to allow for those, crashed.

  Which says that "under the circumstances the captain's decision to ditch into the Hudson River was the better choice". And you're criticising him for .... what, exactly?
