In US Airways 1549 mishap, the "miraculous" part is that he ditched in the water in a large airliner with 100% survival. If he had a runway available "down range" it would have been somewhat lesser event to land the jet safely.

That said, I think TACA Flight 110 (737-300) was an impressive "miracle" glide landing too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TACA_Flight_110




Ah I see, I missed the water landing part, sorry.
