True. Once a jet is above a certain height (and it's not that high -- I think the height is reached in the few seconds after takeoff), landing on water is the same as landing on concrete. The water cannot displace fast enough when objects hit it at high speeds.
On a more lawyerly-with-kidsly note: how in the HELL did vietmom get vietbabe potty trained already? My boy has no [zip, zero, effis, nada] interest in going on the potty. I thought he would want to imitate his older brother, and he does -- with the exception of using the potty.
Bad times, bad times.
