It was very wise that they chose a lake with shoreline access for their water work. I have had to fly parts in and out to remote lakes where a pilot went mechanical on the water. It's wise to assure that your infrastructure for repair is appropriate to the type, and location for operation. The fact that a plane can be landed remotely, does not always equal it being a good idea....
