They never activated the "ditch switch".

"For a moment, it looked like they would pass beneath US Airways Flight
1549, but when Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger looked up, they were there in
his windscreen. Big. Dark brown. Lots of them.

His first instinct was to duck.

Then there were thumps, a burning smell, and silence as both jet engines cut
out.

For a moment, the Airbus A320 hung in the sky 3,000 feet above the Bronx,
its engines knocked so completely dead that one flight attendant said it
sounded like being in a library.

Investigators provided this dramatic new description Saturday of what
unfolded on the flight in the five brief minutes between its takeoff from
LaGuardia Airport on Thursday and its textbook splashdown in the Hudson
River."
