I personally don't really care about anniversaries. But as an aviation enthusiast I always remember this accident ever since. I call it, like many people, a miracle in aviation history. Until January 15, 2009 I always thought it would not be possible to land an airliner on water, undamaged (kinda), and get all passengers out safely before sinking. And it even happened in winter. It was just the right captain at the right time on the right place with the right weather conditions.
