There are some flying experts who say Sully blew it. He had time to land at a nearby airport and didn’t act until it was too late. He did make a nice water landing and everyone survived. In this case the heroic pilots are dead.

What experts?
From what I heard, it is true that the aircraft had sufficient altitude and speed to land in, Teterboro, I believe, but every experienced pilot who attempted that in a flight simulator, even though they knew what to expected, wound up crashing. In PRINCIPLE, it was just barely possible, but Sully had to make an instantaneous life or death decision, and the decision he made probably offered the best CHANCE based on his imperfect knowledge of the situation and limited time to decide.
