As some of you guys know, I'm a professional media monitor. That Hudson River ditching was widely reported on every TV and radio station in my city all day yesterday, and on most of the main TV news programs in the evening it was the number one story. There was one Australian woman on board so the typically parochial Aussie media tended to focus on that, but the pilot is being hailed a hero here too. Interestingly the media here have not used the term 'miracle' as much as the US media has been doing. Here they mostly praise the pilot's skill and professionalism.
