It takes special skills to do what Sully did. Ditching on a river and and ditching on an ocean are two different things. Rivers are normally calm, whereas, oceans are not, especially when the waves are kicking up.I thought "Sully," who landed a large jet plane on the Hudson River in NY, was much more impressive.
Sully did a great job and we were all proud of him and happy that he was able to save everyone.
