I haven't read a ton about this (would rather not know about plane crashes) but was the Hudson considered a preferable alternative because they weren't sure they could make it to Teterboro and the potential loss of life was much less on the river instead of over residential and commercial areas?
Probably. If he had no power, the chances of making it were slim and if he failed, there's a good chance of ground casualties. I think he made the right choice.
