Sullenberger had only been on the air for 100 seconds when he had to make a quick decision on how to save his passengers without sufficient time to land safely in New York or across the river in New Jersey. 'It turned out we didn't have enough altitude or speed to either return to LaGuardia or to cross the river to Teterboro, New Jersey,' he told NBC's TODAY.' It's thanks to Captain Sully and the NYPD Scuba Crew's heroic rescue efforts that every single passenger on the flight survived the traumatic crash.
