Would that possibly be worse? With fast moving water and the undercurrent sucking you down?

Nah, you might flip the airplane and smack your head, but survival is much more likely and you won't take out someone else if you screw it up.
and the airplane will float long enough to get your bearings and swim to shore. Even in an intercoastal, the current will rarely pull you under.
Landing on roads, specifically in congested rural areas is inherently a HORRIBLE idea.
Cars, people, light poles, signs, power lines, trees, and on and on.

Uh, because maybe you'd get to use the plane again eventually?
For real? The guy died and this where you're going?

This is no laughing matter.
Did this just go from "damn, that's sad" to "here's what he should have done" without even any PICTURES? That may be a record. Never let it be said that we aren't progressing!
egress is the problem when it comes to water, especially if the fuselage goes inverted. There’s a reason Dilbert Dunkers exist and why underwater egress training is given to the military and some companies.
Truly, both have their respective challenges. And depending on the situation, one may indeed be a better option than the other.

Lot of Monday morning QB’ing on that one.
The bayside bridge on the departure end of the 35s at KPIE was a potential engine out spot when I was flying there.

I do not risk the lives of others to save a replaceable airplane.
or to save my own life.
That's where I'm going with this.

Serious question: Whats the mission statement/point behind Kathryns report? At first I told myself maybe they're reporting this stuff to help others learn from mistakes or tragedy which could potentially reduce future accident rates. But isn't that what NTSB reports are for? My sinister side tells me they're trying to profit from the attention of death. What is everyones thoughts on this?Here is the Kathryn Report:

If that's what you're thinking all sources of news falls into that bucket.
Who didn't report this yesterday?

Payton Gendron, who allegedly shot and killed at least 10 people at a supermarket in a Black community in Buffalo, appears to have been motivated by hate, police said.

I don't agree with that. They focus solely on aviation accidents.If that's what you're thinking all sources of news falls into that bucket.

Neither does Kathryn's Report, it just posts information about aviation incidents that is already available from a google search.

its a more easily navigatable database of NTSB reports with all sources linked

And it has local news sources which are sometimes just crap about the victims but often have video/pictures of the accident that the NTSB won’t release until the docket at the end of the investigation.
