Any Taipan drivers know what sort of emergency which results in a reported "ditching" being uncontrolled? A controlled ditching should be survivable.

I suspect that the term ditching is a misnomer and a good example of the media’s apparent inability to be accurate when reporting anything to do with aviation or the military. It’s not helped when supposed ‘experts’ like Blaxland are wheeled out who then bang on about stuff they’ve only got a passing knowledge of.
