Very different from trying to land a jet on water from full flight.
Where they landed is fairly far from the airport, so i severly doubt this. LGA is in queens, where they landed is on the OTHER side of Manhattan. The Hudson is nowhere near the airport....it would've had to been like a 2 mile skid!
