Watch the movie "Sully" (2016) - Tom Hanks plays Sullenberger - excellent film!

I agree. It was. I never knew there was a controversy around his actions that day.
Listen to the actual CVR of the incident too. Talk about cool cucumbers!!!!

There really wasn't. It's a movie. Eastwood said that he needed a villain, so he made one out of the NTSB. Sullenberger himself has said that the adversarial interaction between the investigators and himself and Skiles was completely made up.

I have no problem with that, but people should not think they're learning facts when they watch a docu-drama. Its purpose is to entertain, not educate.
