              try that. What's funny is the reporter says the passengers were sucked out, like a cessna 180 is pressurized

                  lol, they thought they would be more safe jumping out of a moving plane than to have the plane land without the floats?

                          not really, the plane made a safe landing on its belly with no gear. Happens alot on other planes with retract gear. Come in for landing and forget to put the gear down. You ruin the plane due to prop strike but nobody gets hurt.
