There has never been a landing of a commercial jet with under wing engines on open water in a way where the safety briefing had any relevance whatsoever. The closest in the sense that anyone survived was the Ethiopian jet of which there are videos around. But that cartwheeled, broke up and sank pretty much instantly.
But, as I recall, the pilot had a gun held to his head by a hijacker which can't have helped his concentration!
