> What’s the difference between Sullenberger, who was able to innovate solutions in the face of imminent death, and Liao, who apparently panicked and shut down the wrong engine?

They mentioned Sullenberger's experience, but he also had more than twice the altitude when he lost engine power. Still an emergency, but he had a bit more time to think about it.
