That happen at Bader Field one of the first airports in the USA ,in Atlantic City,NJ. Seems the pilot/owner of the a/c (Believe he was from Norway or Denmark) wanted to land at Atlantic City international airport, Runways of 10000' & 6500'and is about 9 miles from where was staying ,he figured he would save the Taxi fare. . Also the plane was trucked out directly to a scraper "salt water plays H*ll with aircraft.

The airport has been closed (2006) and when this water landing was done it was closed to all twins. It was mainly used by "Banner carriers"
First photo Bader where he made the water landing(Lakes bay) second is where he should have landed AC int.

Thanks for the update, I had not seen the video.

Yes, the video has been around for a while, but it's still worth another look every now & then.

This one is a classic and it DEFINITELY is always worth a look!!!! Thanks for posting it so I could see it again. It's sad to see the demise of a perfectly good airplane at the hands of such a clown - I mean - big time tailwind landing, big time overshoot, small time runway length! 3 strikes and you are OUTTA-HERE!

Please do not call the pilot a "Retard". Retarded people had no choice in the matter. This guy should be a called a idiot or moron.

Your Point Taken. Scuttlebutt has it that the owner/pilot has" Beaucoup" Bucks" & took the whole crash landing with a who cares attitude,no one was hurt,no foul
