That air controller must have not grasped the "we are going into the hudson" part.
the pilot said it in a pretty short terse tone. the controller may have missed it.
even had he heard that statement, he's going to do his best to continue to give the pilot assistance, and/or options.
that calmness is why these pilots train so hard.
i booked a flight to orlando last january. coincidentally, it was on an airbus, and with american airlines., mom, and brother said i should try another airline. i went with them, because they had the only flights that could fit the schedule i needed to keep to. wasn't a bit worried........
