I do have a seaplane rating, and can appreciate glassy water conditions. Can you expand on all that was done to ensure the survival of the other occupants of the aircraft in detail? My understanding was they all had to swim for 4 hrs to get to shore. What measures did he take to ensure that the others didn't drown or get Hypthermia?
Curious...

There are two different events here.
1) He made a common miscalculation over glassy water. If you are not a seaplane pilot and have not had this training, this could be impossible to appreciate.
2) After the aircraft sank, he ensured the survival of all aboard through some seriously brave and smart actions.
It would be very easy for all aboard to be dead--after surviving the "landing" unharmed--from drowning and hypthermia.
