They're having more than their share of accidents out there the last few years.

I wonder how much more of the airframe is bent or broken. Never seen one break just like that before.

Lucky they had all those safety cables to hold the engine from completely falling off.

It almost looks like someone did an engine change and forgot a few cotter pins... or nuts.

Seems odd that you'd be able to smash onto the water hard enough to drop an engine, but not hard enough to do any visible damage to the floats/attachments... Mind you, stranger things have happened.
