Warning: Spoilers
This is more of a docudrama than a documentary. After reading the actual NTSB report on the Sully landing in the Hudson River I have doubts about this "reality" doc. They just went along with the BS that everyone wanting to make him out as a hero repeated. Sully was no hero. Even the NTSB said "nobody wanted to sully Sully". He was a public relations genus. He knew what to do after the accident to prevent his mistakes and rule violations from being emphasized because he was a crash investigator in the Air Force. LaGuardia is surrounded on 3 sides by water. Tis episode leaves out that he could have tried to land at LaGuardia and ditched in the water next to it if he could not make it. 5 out of 7 pilots made it in a simulator. But this makes for more dramatic and PC viewing, they thought.

This makes me question the demonizing they have done with some ATC workers, especially women.
