Why is there an airplane in the water?
There were multiple videos covering this plane crash, here is one:

Remember kids, according to an FAA review of accidents, no type of water ditching has lower than an eighty percent survivability rating. So putting it in the drink is always an option.
I’m pretty sure survival chances are a lot lower than 80% when the water is freezing, and they’re far from rescue.
I think they’re saying you’ll survive the landing. What happens after is more variable
Surprisingly, no. They counted deaths from exposure, drowning, etc as fatalities in this study: https://www.aviationsafetymagazine.com/features/the-myths-of-ditching/
This is just a review of NTSB data and some ditchings may have gone unreported. The main point is that ditching, even in the open ocean is very survivable.
