Let's contemplate two very different, extremely unlikely scenarios.
1. A fully loaded airliner suffering a double engine power loss and ditching in the East River.
2. A float-equipped, single-engine helicopter, with no passenger doors installed, suffering a power loss and performing a well-executed autorotation, with float deployment, in the East River.
Now, anticipate the likely outcomes, and consider any external factors that might alter that consideration.
Inexcusable...
