Great Work!

I dont usually want to comment until the facts are known but one clear fact is that an amazing landing that was made on to water, so I withold nothing in praising the F/D and crew in what appears to be a miraculous occurance and their professionalism that has led to this outcome.

I am hoping that this will provide the NTSB and all aviation manufacturers with enough information about how the landing was performed and why the aircraft did not break up that saftey can be improved in situations where a water landing is necessary and aircraft design to facilitate this. Hopefully alot of stress indications and measurements can still be performed on the intact airframe along with the digital information from the flight recorders.

This could hopefully be one of the incidents that we could learn alot from without having the cost of loss of life.
