Kudos to the pilot for a safe touchdown
Can only agree. However, I cannot help but harbour a slight suspicion that this particular successful touchdown might bear some strong parallels with the story (told, I think, by EK Gann in one of his books [FITH?]) of the Catalina that 'landed' in IMC on a snow-covered Greenland hillside during WW2 - much to the surprise of the Catalina's crew.

Edited to add: I hadn't seen the post immediately above until after posting this observation.
