I do have several questions.

I always thought Brodsky was the more serious actor. Have you found out any more about him? Was there any indication he interacted with the Ukrainians? Any info before or after the ditching? Any memorials for any of the three?

I stopped looking into Brodsky after MH17, it just seemed too dangerous--not for me, but for whoever I might hire in Russia. No, I haven't seen any indication that he interacted with the Ukrainians. And I haven't heard of any memorials-- for any passengers, for that matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I was also curious what might have been learned from Sully’s controlled ditching. Did any parts detach? Did they hit the water at the same speeds?

Well, as I recall the bottom of the plane was pretty shredded. I don't know if you can draw conclusions about ditching a 777 in the ocean from someone ditching a 737 in the Hudson River. Also, there just isn't any evidence (many claims to the contrary) that MH370 was ditched. Quite the contrary.
