Well, it does look unpleasantly rough ( as an aerial photographer & yachtie I know, if waves even show on camera they're significant ! ) and I'm sure the pilot did a good job, but I somehow doubt it compares to the Hudson incident.
As a one-time passenger in one of those Cessna's, a noisy vibratory heap, I can't help thinking it's in the right place !
Please let's not call every ditching ' doing a Hudson'...
