It was a freaking unplanned water landing.
Yes, so technically it was a Controlled Flight Into Terrain accident.

CFIT - accidents in which there was an in-flight collision with terrain, water, or obstacle, without indication of loss of control. ​​​The critical distinction in these types of accidents is the fact that the aircraft is under the control of the flight crew. Source: IATA.
