You've been framed!!
Just seen tonights programme as satellite has gone west..
Showed a Cessna Amphibian landing on water (American) with the undercarriage down....Exceptionally quick stop followed by a flip over onto its back
, crew got out ok by the looks of it but not the sort of thing I would have found to be funny!!

I think you might be overreacting a little. Obviously in both of the episodes you saw nobody was seriously hurt (in fact I saw the Cessna one as well and it finished with the crew sitting on the upturned floats paddling like a canoe). 'All's well that ends well" springs to mind.
If you are going to have a go at someone, perhaps it should be the person who took the film and then decided to make £250 by sending it to the programme!

Yep sorry should have made post clearer I was trying to go in the direction you mentioned...but as you say they all got out Ok and proceeded to paddle to shore.
There was also a similar video on a couple of months ago of anther Cessna taking off and dropping a wing and cartwheeling over, looked bad but again crew got out Ok.
Thanks for reality check

My excuse is the kids like it....
Further to mine, however, I did wonder quite how effective two blokes with a paddle each would be at actually getting a C172, most of which was underwater, moving in the direction THEY rather than IT desired!!
