I agree. It's a slick, easy-to-understand analysis of the crash.
It also shows quick thinking on the part of the pilot. If they hadn't decided to ditch the plane in the river instead of continuing to the airport, it probably would have come up short and crash landed in an urban area. A lot of people owe the flight crew their lives, not just the passengers.
