Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger, III was the last person to leave US Airways Flight 1549 — a true captain, he swept the center aisle twice to ensure no one else was still on board...

Since it`s a French plane, they should`ve left it to sink to the bottom & provide a refuge for the fish.

I believe it's the first water landing in something like 45 years to not lose a single passenger.

Are there actually fish in the Hudson river?

Maybe a few with cement shoes...

Striped bass.

I think the salty ocean gets in to the river thus that limits parts if not all of it.

Wouldn`t want to be on a ditches plane near sharks. :(

Yes, good thing that it was a French plane with a built-in system that automatically prepares the plane to 'surrender', whereas in other planes, the pilot would have to take the steps manually.
