Incredible tough landing. The engines act like giant scoops and the moment they make contact with the water the drag they create could easily stop the blame violently, causing it to rip apart.

One hell of a pilot.

you can clearly see that thay got all the fat people to stand in the back of the plain allowing for such a smooth water touch down.

Just curious what the people from the boat are throwing back in to the water.

Life vests? Seat cushion/flotation devices?

^ According to some of the passengers' accounts, they took their seat cushions with them, so you're probably right, that was likely what they were throwing.

I'm sure it was terrifying, but talk about having a totally rad story to tell people for the rest of your life!

This is really awesome. This guy did a perfect water landing and that is almost impossible.
I was a pilot myself and in school I learned that a water landing is the hardest you can do as a pilot. Its even harder than landing on a carrier at night and extremely unpredictable.

Really, either this guy was extremely lucky or he needs a higher wage.
