I highly doubt I will ever see another water landing with a 100% survival rate in my lifetime….

While rare, water landings of commercial aircraft – without fatalities – have happened before.

Here is a link to just a few others…note Pan Am Flight 943 in 1956…also, this list does not include at least two additional documented sea ditching in which the survival rate of the crash was 100%, although one woman drowned after leaving the DC 7 trying to swim to a life raft in rough seas.

He showed to the whole world that air travelling accidents doesn’t always kill people. This is almost as wonderful as was “Gimli Glider”.
