It wasn't a 747 that landed in the Hudson - neither in the movie nor in real life. Better to say only "plane". Otherwise really fun quiz.

Airbus A320. A big plane nonetheless. And you could have included Apollo 13. When they splashed down, they crawled out into a rubber raft.

Is the thumbnail Photoshopped? His wasteline looks pretty suspicious like it was cut off with a straight edge and his body was pasted on there and his body seems like it is a slightly different lighting than the background. The edge of his body seems like it was trimmed with a tool. I am sure you did your best, though, and this comment is not meant to be insulting.
