Shades of "Miracle on the Hudson" starring Captain Chesley Sullenberger and crew though not nearly as dramatic.
Jeremy..You are so right! Who cares what kind of airplane it was or where they were on Mother Earth...the bottom line is the PIC made the "Ditch" and did a damn good job! I don't care how or where you land....if everybody walks off alive...it's a good landing!
Accident a/c was an Embraer 120
From Wikipedia:
On 27 November 2012 an Inter Iles Air Embraer EMB 120ER Brasilia (registration number D6-HUA) was underway from Moroni to Anjouan (both in Comores Islands) on a charter flight with 25 passengers and 4 crew, when after taking off from Moroni's Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport it lost height, and while attempting to return to the airport, waterlanded 200 meters off the coast, about 5 km north of the airport. Local fishermen rescued everybody on board. There were only minor injuries.[21]

Isn't that nearby where the Air France plane crashed into the ocean and they got it all on film and nearly half the people on board died
I know the place in Moroni but remember so far that it was not an Air france flight that time but an Ethiopian passengers plane short of kerozene after an hijacking by an islamist group.
I'm a thinkin' you are right.
The last one was Yemenia 626 Sanaa-Moroni on 30 june 2009, Airbus A310 in the sea at 18 km from the airport !
