Obviously kudos to the Captain and the crew for an outstanding job of flying this in successfully and making sure everyone was safely out. But I think another big huzzaa should go to the ferry captains who where the first on site, and got so many people off. I doubt that they are trained for this kind of rescue, and a lot of improvising had to happen. Still, they got many people out of the water and/or off the wings in a very short period. There are several videos showing one boat at the aircraft and two more on the way. Very well done for people who just did the right thing.
