Also, at least from what I'd read/seen, actually Airbus automation deserves some credit in that landing as well. The stall protection system had actually helped to fly the aircraft into the water at minimum possible speed/maximum safe angle of attack without stalling, something that would be much more difficult to do purely by hand. It left the pilots much better able to concentrate on making crucial decisions at hand, without getting swamped by details.
