By the way, one could land gear up at TEB if the glide didn't permit gear extension.
Plenty of fuel still on board, could have made it very interesting. The game of determining whether it was possible to land at LGA or TEB is fun for the simulator where you can hit the reset button and try again, but when you only get one go and you haven't had plenty of practice, you wouldn't want to do it. Just like the BA038 incident where it was later shown that with prior knowledge and exactly the correct configuration, they could have made the runway. You don't get chance to go around in a glider.
