Actually, I was reading the January issue of FI a few weeks ago, last years accident stats. They had a story of a 707 on approach into some african country (Tanzania?). The CDR handflying the approach and accidently flying into the sea (or lake) short of the field. The aircraft stayed afloat for such a long time, they just towed it in and beached it! I couldn't believe what I was reading.
Surely, some of you have this issue and can verify the story and fill in some details?
