Pretty good stuff. This might be the first time I've ever heard of a successful water landing.

There has got to be video of this somewhere. Someone in NYC must have had their video camera or cellphone going. I would love to see this incredible feat.

On top of his tremendous experience he is a GLIDER pilot. That must have made the difference here.
