"ditching plane at sea"......... where else ?
As happened recently in Hamilton, NZ... into a sewerage treatment pond...

I'm not sure how you can be called a hero for causing your own ditching, at least Sully had a good excuse! These guys ditched a perfectly serviceable aeroplane, simply because they ran out of fuel. Hardly hero activity. What kind of fuel planning is that?
