I think that "miracle on the Hudson" needs to be left where it belongs .. in typical media gross hyperbole.
The crew did a fine job - no-one doubts that - and underlying that was their ability to assess the situation and make a workable decision in a short timeframe.
Without taking away from their performance on the day, is it not reasonable to presume that a majority of experienced, competent crews probably would have gone for the same gameplan ?
What impressed me - from an NTSB interview transcript (which I linked in another thread) .. it was the F/O's first flight post endorsement training.
The crew necessarily had to ad lib a bit and, with the benefit of hindsight, possibly would have done the odd thing a little differently .. but a mighty fine performance overall in this observer's view.
