Looks like an extraordianrlily hazardous place for a forced landing with all those swimmers who would be invisible until the last moment. As it was he seems to have only narrowly missed a couple, and there was a whole crowd of them just ahead of where they stopped. Fifty yards further out and there would have been no hazard to 3rd parties...but a sunken airframe. I wonder if that was a factor in landing so very close to the beach.
