A320 in Hudson River

In reply re why did the rh eng not come off, look again at the landing and see how hard the a/c veared to the left at the end of its landing run. I would have said that the LH eng was the braking force at that point with the RH Eng and wing being higher as in any hard turn and as such with not enough force on it to break the shear pins.
