I'm beginning to believe the theory that he tried to avoid the birds all together with a go-around, but unfortunately SHTF(literally) after gear/flap retraction. The brief go-around altitude/airspeed gain had him too high and too fast to complete a straight in, and with gear and flaps retracted...he felt he had no choice when both engines suddenly DOA'd(or mostly DOA), tried the 180, and he ran out of time/energy.

Goes without saying...easy to second guess his actions(worse comes to worse, put it in the water)...when it's not your arse in the seat/in the moment.

We won’t know what really happened for a while, but there is no airline emergency procedure that calls for a water landing, when a runway is available. The concrete wall at the end is an entirely different story which needs to be explained.

They might have been a little to high, but that ground effect float and keeping the nose up after landing just made things a lot worse knowing there is a barrier at the end of the runway.
