   Thank you for your answer.   
   There is only one thing: The ditch switch on flight 1549 was not activated as   
   reported by the NTSB interview. The crew didn't have time to flick the switch.   
   So, Captain C.B. Sullenberger III is after all just a human being.   
   The plane floated anyway. For a while at least.
