She did a great job. But I would not call her a hero. Any pilot worth a pound of salt could have landed that plane. By design the plane could easily land with one engine. This on a totally different scale than the pilot who landed his plane on the Hudson with no engines. He was a hero.
until you understand the semi-automated ditching mode of the Airbus he was piloting. Sully did a great job, truly. just know the airplane helped him a good deal.
