I was told that a Brazilian Herc ditched after running out of fuel. The ditching was successful and it stayed afloat for a while.

Apparently all crew survived the ditching but by the time the rescue had been effected there had been one fatality; the Captain shot the Nav for getting them lost.

Don't know of authenticity but it's a good story anyhow!
