None of the 231 passengers and crew was injured. A video of the landing was recorded and widely broadcast in the international media. Wrona was described as a hero in Polish and International media and by the Polish president Bronislaw Komorowski.
Komorowski spoke to Wrona shortly after the incident, and announced that state decorations were to be given out to Wrona and the rest of the flight crew.
In subsequent interviews Wrona downplayed his role in the event. He was compared to Chesley Sullenberger who successfully ditched United States Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River on January 15, 2009, also without any serious injuries.
Sullenberger himself, in a Cable News Network interview, congratulated Wrona and stated that this might have been the first emergency landing of its kind.
