That's comparable to Sully's Hudson river landing.
Actually what Scully did relative to flying was not that difficult. The landing of the 767 in Gimle Canada was a more difficult flying feat. Scully had miles of water to land on. The Gimle Glider (a 767 with out power) had just a few thousand feet to land on.
Scully's brilliance was his decision making. If he tried to go back to La Guardia or make it to Tetterboro he had one chance to land and if he did not make it to the runway an airliner full of fuel and passengers would come down in a heavily populated area. He had little time to make the decision. He made the right decision as did the pilot of the Gimle Glider.
I salute both exceptional pilots.
