No fatalities, plenty of true heroes, including the pilot! landing smoothly in the Hudson River. A fricking Airbus!

i heard about that somewhere, pretty nuts, I imagine its pretty hard getting the angle right on water, too much nose and you will dig in and flip, too much tail it would catch and snap the front down. I imaging it would be like mouse trapping a wheelie really hard, but with and airplane going 200mph, and instead of blowing fork seals, you would smash the nose in and probably flip end over end or something bad like that.
