I'm guessing, but it might be because the water's very flat. What often happens with a water landing is that the nose digs in and the plane cartwheels end over end, but if it's as flat as that seems to be maybe it's more easily avoided. Very neat piece of flying, though...

Bagsy the ones at the back that probably just got concussion
The one at the back of the engine will be pate.

Yes, I always laughed at the life jackets - whose going to need those when the fireball hits the waves? In fact, before this I am not aware of any incidents involving airliners landing on water in which life jackets were worn by surving passengers.

missing in inaction
Quite.
Almost looks a little guilty....
On a serious note, very good job by the skipper - avoiding endangering anyone else as well.

If it wasn't scheduled to fly over the sea it might not have had any.

Probably went back in the plane to use the tea making facilities . .
Check out the footage of the passengers being taken to safety. Shivering, clad in blankets and life-jackets, most of them are shuffling along with a vacant look on their faces (and rightly so) - then there's one dude waving his hands in the air and smiling like he's just won a game show. That is how I would like to survive a plane crash

By the looks of it, there's going to be some people with frostbite. Still, very lucky.

Outstanding photo.
The light, everything... looks unrealistically subdued. Almost set up.
In aviation photography terms, maybe iconic.

The wheels on the bus go round and round....
Fuck me is that amazing.

Yup, incredible bit of photography. Even the condensation on the lens works.
3.20 pm NYC time, apparently.
As for the plane, miraculous work from the pilot... I'll bet the flight software was OSX and not PC...
