I've always found the safety cards with their picture of an apparently completely undamaged aircraft floating serenely on the surface, following a landing on water amusing.

What is the possibility of such a scenario ever happening? Except perhaps in the case of a light aircraft or helicopter, surely the forces involved in any landing on water would result in the aircraft being torn into several pieces? And wouldn't it sink pretty quickly, in any case?
