Survivor Irina Levshina also found comfort with her fellow passengers.
When she got on the plane, Levshina said the woman sitting next to her blurted out that she was petrified of flying. But during the terrifying descent, she was the one who calmed people down, Levshina said.
"Girls, it's going to be OK. I'm the one that's afraid of flying,'" the unidentified woman told Levshina and another woman in the back row.
The women held hands and prayed.
Hope for any reprieve from a crash ended when Sullenberger announced over the plane's intercom, "Brace for impact."
"It was intense. It was intense," said passenger Jeff Kolodjay, of Norwalk, Conn., of that moment.
"Everyone was kind of orderly," said a chilled Kolodjay, who ended up wearing a jacket given to him by "GMA's" Chris Cuomo. "I kept saying, 'Relax, relax. Women and children first.' And then, it just started filling with water, quick."
