Courtesy of the fabulously efficient US Coast Guard comes this video of a Cessna 310 being ditched with great panache in the Pacific last week. I suppose everybody's been watching Sully videos these days, just in case. (Sully, however, had a robust excuse ready for the aircraft owner, whereas we are yet to hear the full story of this one.)
Here's the coastguard version of events.

This was a great landing considering the majority of emergency landings for planes on the water result in the nose or wings of the plane dipping into the water causing the plane to roll and break apart. They rarely just glide like this one did.
