Dang..
 
Glad the pilot is ok. Hope when he/she takes some time to settle down the group can learn something from the event. Mostly, just glad their okay.

Good to hear they're okay, and also to see that it looks totally repairable from the one photo shown. Hopefully the extraction crew can get it out of there without increasing the damage.

Glad to see he walked away. I see no gear leg fairings, maybe in phase one?

Wow, they listed it as an "Incident" with "Minor" damage.

I guess it depends on which FSDO is involved.

Surprised he is ok. Was it slider or tip up ? I hope my slider bar saves me in this event

Update in the news
 
Looks like a nice job of getting the airplane down as there's not a lot of places around the canal but low tide helps.
