Why didn't they land on water?!

  Runway is always preferable.

    Unless the water ditch would have killed everyone, that’s not immediately clear. Had they known what was going to happen they’d likely have chosen some other option.

      Expectation in a water ditch is the plane breaks up and everyone either dies on impact or dies of hypothermia or drowns. > Had they known what was going to happen they’d likely have chosen some other option. Yeah, absolutely.

      Sure, in hindsight we'll always wish we can go back and choose another option if the one we did choose ends up going poorly.

      Unless the water is very calm it's quite possible to break up and lose the plane and passengers on a water landing as well.
