In 1963 Russian pilot Victor Mostovoy safely landed his Tu-104 jet liner on Neva river. I remember watching it on TV.
His fate was somewhat different from Sully's. No movie... no book contract. He completed his service with the Soviet aviation and then emigrated to Israel, where he ended up a factory worker.
