Sully ditched about as gently as it would be possible to do,
I don't think so. I recall reading somewhere that he hit the water at a considerably higher speed and rate-of-descent than he would have liked, in order to land in a stretch of water clear of bridges and vessels.

No criticism. It was a great job, and touching a bridge or ship would have changed the story completely.
