Just a couple of questions:
When was the last time you heard of a jet liner crash landing wet or dry that anybody survived?
When was the last time you heard of a jet liner crash landing wet or dry that nobody was lost?
Have you ever heard of a commercial airliner in a water landing that saved the entire passenger compliment?
I personally think that this is extraordinary stuff, and I doubt that most pilots could do this as will be evident when the q's are answered. AND I suspect the miltary training has much to do with the result.
