There was an ATR 72 accident a couple of months ago where the aircraft hit the water during a go-around (at 3.9g) leaving a hole in the underbelly. No injuries, crew landed off the next approach. Not sure of the location (far East), but it was certainly water contact prior to reaching the runway. Speculation only for that event, but perhaps something to do with the reported 1500fpm+ in an attempt to get below a 600ft overcast.
