Plane Crash Water Landing

Technically, when a plane crash lands in water, it is called ditching. One recent event was the Hudson River Plane Crash which boasted no fatalities and only minor injuries. A plane crash water landing can be as dangerous as an emergency landing on surface area but increased training has proven to pay off in the way of less fatalities and injuries. If a plane crash water landing is successful, the immediate danger is getting the passengers out of the plane before it sinks into the water; Preferably, into rafts or other floatation devices. If not handled correctly, a plane can break up on water just as easily as it can on land, just as it did in the case of JFK Jr. Although pilots cannot practice an actual plane crash water landing, they do receive training on what to do in different situations including and emergency landing in water.
