I listened to the interview and what struck me most was the lack of we.
I'll give Sullenberger the benefit of the doubt, and chalk this up to the cutting-room floor. The media are all about hero-worship (the soloist gets all the adulation, the techie roadies who provide first-class support are 'way in the background), and
60 Minutes is an example of this.
Don't forget, what you saw and heard was a piece of bigtime entertainment media. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.
