The Ethopian 767... that ditching was great considering the fact that there were hijackers in the cockpit, wrestling with the captain for control all the way to the water, so they can crash the plane and kill all aboard! Just looked at a DC-7 or -8 (?) that ditched after losing two motors shortly after take off from MIA. Was in 1992, a freighter from the Dominikan Rebublic.
The newspapers showed the plane intact, just below the surface in the shallow waters close to the beach. The crew made it out just fine and paddled their raft to the beach. The report said that the tail separated, but it appeared to be 'properly' attached to the plane in the picture.
