Yup, saw those and a couple more on FOX this morning...

But can't be stated enough, the pilot had his collective crap together that
time. *Landing one of those on water like that without a collision, no
power, without breakup and no serious injuries I strongly suspect isn't an
accident.

Well, we are starting to see reports about this guy, apparently he is
pretty modest but at age 12 was tested and rated an IQ worthy of
membership as a Mensa Genius. He was a fighter pilot in Nam and has
been involved on the training end of the Airline industry... I think
if his story came out we would all be impressed, but from what his
friends and family are saying, he would rather just go back to work...
