Rightly so, the flight crew and rescue services are to be congratulated. But, like the B777 belly flop at Heathrow, the fuselage remained intact, the doors could be opened allowing the plane occupants to survive.

Well done Airbus for bulding a strong plane, and well done the regulators for setting robust crashworthiness and ditching requirements.
