Since we appear to be about to get into another "could they have made it to a runway" discussion, has anyone else noticed that the radar-reported positions of the aircraft are wrong? The video of the splashdown from the camera on the west bank clearly shows them coming down upstream of the Intrepid, which comes into view some seconds later as they drift down the current. But at this point the radar plot shows them somewhere between 400 and 300 ft up, suggesting a touchdown about a mile further on.
My point is that the achievable glide range was less than the radar plot suggests.
Superb job by all involved!
