For those of you outside the aviation industry, you're probably thinking, "I'm glad that no one died." For those of us who have been forced to watch hours of plane crashes, we're sitting around thinking, "That has to be the best pilot ever."
As far as I know, this is the first water ditching with no fatalities in the history of aviation. The pilot had to do absolutely everything perfectly and it turns out he or she did.
I'd just like to congratulate the Pilots, Flight Attendants, and rescue workers for an outstanding performance today. They're all heros in my book. Somebody give them a medal.

Nuh-uh. Who told you that? I've got a picture of this one somewhere floating in the lake. Wasn't even intentional, they were just too low on the glideslope.
Here's a photo of a TU124 doing it in 1963.
There's even a DC-3 that was ditched by a passenger in 1952 (the pilot was incapacitated).
