When Ditching Goes Bad...

[FlyingKiwi]

Hey people, here is 1 shot of an emergency ditching that went horribly wrong... I was flying near Coromandel, in NZ when i had a rather serious engine problem. I ditched correctly and the plane briefly stood up on it's nose and then settled back down, but then the whole rear part of the plane snapped off! :-eek

By the way, the rest of the plane sank a few seconds after this shot was taken.

Well, thanks for looking, comments welcome.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, nice landing!
There´s enough water to do something about that little fire.
If I were you I would think about installing a new bird!

Thanks people. Yes that was painful I'm sure. Particularly considering the pilot's in those flames!
