Ditching

The word ditching stands for landing an aircraft to water. It defines an extreme condition for aviation. Unwanted and rare of course. There are 22 recorded ditchings but only 6 of them totally fine(there is no death). In US Airways flight 1549 which happened on 15 january 2009 an airbus A320 successfully ditched on hudson river. Most important things to consider in ditching firstly position,and evacuation. After landed on water most important thing is to save people from cold water which is a part of evacuation. In process of evacuation nearest coastal guards must be alerted.
