No, no miracles required - just great piloting skill and luck. If this had happened a couple of miles away from all the ferries and rescue boats, there would have been quite a few hypothermia fatalities. Aircraft design, aircrew training, rescue preparedness, and human bravery complimented the luck in pulling this out. If some supernatural force produced a miracle here, it was managing to stuff enough geese into two tough engines to stop them both.
The title of this video is wrong. It should start "Plane LANDS in New York's...".

"Lands" is not as shrill and exciting as "crashes"

I take your point. What I meant was that it undermines the pilot's skill and expertise.

more like 25% of that was a miracle. The reason it was a miracle was becuase of all the good luck, only one victim was seriously injured.
