I don’t mean to be blunt but after years of flying, both accidents could have been avoided in my humble opinion and pilot error was a major contributing factor in both accidents.
I do mean to be blunt - you have an opinion, as do others.

That may be startling, for a person of your experience. You have heard Captain Sully's opinion on this matter I assume.

Don't get me wrong both accidents could have been avoided, in fact I am yet to find an accident that could not have been avoided - more so with 20-20.
