Trivia
Ferry Captain Vincent Lombardi, who was the Captain of the first ferry to reach the airplane, played himself in this film.

Goofs
During the take-off scene First Officer Skiles has his hands on the throttles all the time, from the runway till the plane is airborne. In reality A320 pilots must immediately take their hands off the throttle as soon the plane has reached V1 speed.

Quotes
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Everything is unprecedented until it happens for the first time.

Crazy credits
Photos of the real plane and rescue are shown during the credits. They are followed by a brief video with real people from that day including the passengers and Captain Sullenburger.

Alternate versions
The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

Connections
Edited from Late Show with David Letterman: Episode #16.88 (2009)

A very low-key and introverted film.

A very low-key and introverted film. The structure of the film is very clever, the most moving flight process is scattered in the middle of the film, constantly re-enacted fragments to enhance the heat. But from another point of view, the story of the film is very simple, it can be said that the plot has no depth, especially reflected in the final hearing, a sentence to achieve a big turnaround. After watching it, there was even a feeling that it was a documentary rather than a commercial movie.
