In a twist on luck and public response to the incident

In a twist on luck and public response to the incident, the New York State Lottery said the numbers 1549 -- the flight's designation -- are sold out through next Tuesday night on the Win 4. Wagering on numbers 1549 has been cut off because the lottery has already reached the $5 million cap.
A day after the plane's spectacular splashdown opposite Manhattan's skyscrapers, New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the fact that no one died in the crash into the icy river was more than luck and he handed out commendations for the miracle rescue of a jetliner.
He also said he was waiting to give a key to the city to the plane's pilot, Sullenberger.
Passengers agreed that "Sully," as he's known, and co-pilot Jeff Skiles were the heroes of the day. They also credited flight attendants Sheila Dail, Doreen Welsh and Donna Dent for helping to make the plane's landing a success.
"They're the Tiger Woods of pilots," said passenger Matt Kane. "Unbelievable."
As the rescued passengers finally stopped shivering, stories of terror and bravery from the drama emerged.
