I imagine the landing / ditching would have been better if:
1. no one was injured (the f/a had a severe leg gash)
2. the plane could be hauled out of the water, dried off and flown again.
oh...yeah...that happened to a DC8 just shy of the runway at San Francisco, CA. plane landed in the water (non fly by wire mind you)...later pulled out and FLEW VERY WELL FOR ANOTHER 20 years.
Bug spray indeed
