The pilot is now being feted as an international aviation hero, given the incredible fact that not only did no one perish, but that the plane is in ‘remarkably good condition’ (how they ever determind this, or indeed why beggars belief – are they looking to sell the wreck on eBay?).

Its now put paid to the theory one wag reported in the press of  “you ditch – you die”

Aircrash Invvestigations (the TV show) should sue!
