After reading the Villager artical (link above) I do find myself wondering, why,if there are passingers on the wing, in the water, should any crew who are uninjured, ESPCIALLY the captain, get into rafts. The reason a captain went down with the ship is the idea that he should not take the place of anyone else in a rescue. I think Sully did a great job, but, if I were writing the manual for proper behavior of flight crew in future, I would add, crew should give their place in the raft to passingers. Sully should have been the last fellow off the wing, not out of the raft, after the passingers, and then after the uninjured members of the crew. I assume the caib attendant who broke her legs, was helping get folks ready for the crash up to the splash down. She is the likely hero.
I met a fellow who was among the first rescue boats to the Morro Castle. He and his mates did not stop to help a single lifeboat, as they did not have a single passinger in them, they were full of crew alone. All the passingers who lived, were taken by rescue boats off the burning ship. I think passingers must come first in a disaster.
All the best
