I just love beaucratic language: "which resulted in the airplane impacting the water." I think the word "impacting" is insufficient to describe the event. It is more like Hurst jumping off of the high dive at the local YMCA and doing a cannon-ball into 18" of water.
Sounds like it could be an expensive inspection process! If I remember from working on the big brother of the Mallard, someone is going to be taking out hundreds of phillips screws, breaking fingernails taking off sealed access panels, and wearing out a magnaflux machine -- and that is just on the first airframe.
