Champion ditches off Cape Cod; spectacular photo

A banner-tower, described in a news article as a 1962 Champion, went into the water off a beach near Hyannis MA (Cape Cod) yesterday.
The Boston Globe had an amazing photo of the craft as it hit the water:

Unlikely as it seems from the photo, the pilot walked ... er, swam ... away and was uninjured.
While the Globe bought the good picture, the best reporting was from the Cape Cod Times:
