We won't know the extent of the damage until the aircraft is raised (surprising that it hasn't been by now).
The fact that there were only 4 serious injuries from 150 pax on the Hudson is likely to be down to the fact that the impact speed would have been lower than the 737 on final approach, and Sully's passengers were already bracing for the ditching.
