Perhaps those drills aren't entirely a waste of time

There's something faintly surprising to see a large plane ditch in the water successfully. You get the water-crash drill every time you take off, but I don't recall actually seeing that trick *work* before.

Granted, the plane wasn't 5 miles up yet, so it wasn't a worst-case scenario; still, I'm impressed at the early reports that everybody seems to have made it. I'll take a completely-survived disaster as an oddly comforting portent for the year...
