Me (>>40628) again.
I just did some googling. If Wikipedia's statistics are accurate, you have a better chance of surviving an intentional water ditching (as opposed to uncontrolled crash into the sea).
The Ethiopian Airlines example had a higher fatality rate because the hijackers were fighting with the pilots at the moment of impact, so they hit the water at an odd angle. In light of that, it's debatable whether it's even a legitimate case of a "water landing"
Pic is of a Honolulu-San Francisco flight being ditched in the Pacific Ocean. 100% survival rate thanks to the pilots bringing it down next to a US Navy ship, which immediately rescued everyone on board.
Also, to the op: Xanax is king, but Doxylamine Succinate is ok in a pinch. I also like Dramamine (old formula).
