Bus is wider, quieter, more comfortable from front to back, and most importantly the toilet seat stays up.
Wrong about so much in this post. First the engine tubes in the bus were plugged up with bird parts. initially neither failed. Then one failed the other never failed. Stuck at idle. The fadec wouldn't allow it to make power. On the 737, sans fadec, you would of been able to push the power up on the one motor. Secondly in the ntsb report , sully was cited for failing to control his speed and was somewhere in the 170kts on touchdown. Remember he had full flight controls the whole way down.
An obviuisly you have no idea because a 737 landed on water in India I believe years before Scully and everyone survived. Maybe you should watch some air dissasters reruns.
