Oral and I were just talking. If the pilot had tried anything else - making it back to the airport, or trying for Newark airport - he'd have likely crashed and burned, with huge loss of life on the plane and on the ground. It was a risk landing on the water, cause if he'd caught a wing in the water, the plane could have cartwheeled and broken up. This was about as perfect a result as could be asked for.
