I live across the river from where the plane came to rest, pretty odd to see a 737 sitting in the water, local news this morning is all over this story.

One contributing factor might be weather, last night about the time the plane landed we had severe storms in the area, wind, lightening and heavy rain..the combination of weather, a lot of water on the runway caused the plane to slide off the end of the runway, other speculation is the landing gear being down caught on the bottom of the river and keep the plane from going out further into deeper water....

Saw this ‘home-made’ simulation. Little creepy at end.
