Loss of thrust. Ditching. Slightly higher angle at splashdown than the optimum, rear part of fuselage takes a bit of the force.

If true wonderful effort by the crew. Same ranks as Hudson, BA 777 and RYR at CIA.

Seeing a perfectly good runway ahead and realising you won't make it....

Experience would've been a big factor in this outcome.
