RaTa: Only on a bad day to I land in the Ocean on a DeHavilland...when I'm flying the TT.

Flying into water is difficult in any aircraft, although it must have been difficult for the poor sods who landed in the sea, whilst flying a B777, (Correct if wrong) after it ran out of fuel when terrorists said they weren't bothered, that there wasn't enough fuel to fly them to their desired destination.

It's days like that you wish people could just stick to steeling cars, and that large aircraft were designed to make landing in the water easier and safer in the event of an emergency.

That sure would be useful when you find some the undercarrage no longer works.
