Question on the Sully situation. I have been told that after the incident, many people during a sim training event were put into the same scenario as the Sully tragedy without any indication of what was about to happen. And that 100% of them landed the plane in Teterboro. Any truth to this?

And as we all know, the sim is exactly like the real deal.
/sarc
The NTSB said Sully and Skiles did the right thing as there were no assurances they would have made it over the skyline to the runway.
Had they attempted to make the runway and failed it was near 100% certainty all would die, not including unknown # of deaths on the ground. The crew took the option that gave them the highest percentage of saving the lives of those both in the air and on the ground.
Case closed.
(edit: Btw, in light of the above facts, I laughed at your calling this event "the Sully tragedy". Really????)

What part of my response to you are you having trouble with? I'll try to help you with your reading comprehension issue(s).
And I know I already commented on this, but it is so egregious I cannot help but highlight it once again...
"Sully tragedy". GMAFB

that report also says that all the pilots in the sim were briefed on exactly what was going to happen (the bird strike). Bunch of arm chair quarterbacks and keyboard warriors here. I wonder if any of them would have the cajones to tell Sully or anyone else on that flight that he made a mistake....

However when there was no warning and they spent a few seconds trying to diagnose the problem, they all fell short.
Last time at recurrent, the instructor hit me with a double engine failure climbing out of SFO. I was able to make it back to the airport, but it wasn't pretty.
