You need to look again at that Ethiopian job, you'll find the film clip of its crash somewhere.

He's still banking when it hits the water. Coming in so that the first thing that hits the floor is a wing doesn't work well on any approach, regardless of circumstances.

His coolness under pressure and his foxing of the hijackers into believing he was going where they wanted were great. The dead-stick landing on water, not so much.....
