Well yeah as I stated earlier, in hind sight he should have ditched in open water, he obviously made a difficult split second decision on whether he had enough altitude to make the runway... he nearly did. The reason I said he did a good job setting it down is because when he was short final and knew he was not going to make it, he did not panic and try to extend the glide which possibly could have resulted in dropping a wing tip and cartwheeling onto shore.
