First off I will not discredit Sully and crew.

ITS AN IMPORTANT NOTE THAT WE MUST KNOW..

in emergency landing of A.320 IN THE HODSON RIVER IN NEW YORK..

COMPUTERS WAS CRAZY AND PILOT WAS HERO ....
All modern jet aircraft with a Humanoid at the controls need to have automation disconnect functions, I guarentee those guys were scared beyond belief and were professional enough to supress emotion and operate based on knowledge and experience. Nothing CRAZY about self preservation based upon the above said plus the factor of luck when combined with... Heroic by chance, none the less suppose they deserve the title.
