Every time I read the phrase 'Miracle on the Hudson' I think of the Baghdad Airbus incident. All engine out ditching was a piece of cake compared to that.
Different story. Sully had to make just one decision within seconds. Thereafter IMHO it wasn't very demanding.

DHL was quite different. Many issues, like no flight controls at all, asymmetric lift/drag, no support from ECAM or even FCOM. But a little mor time to figure it out.

Just fly the aluminium to a safe end.

And they made it.

Still full of respect.
