Unless that plane had pontoons, it didn’t land. It crashed, or more accurately, it ditched.

Old, beat up ‘75 -200 probably with 80,000 hours on the airframe flying freight.
Bad engines is just the tip of the iceberg with an ancient beater like this. No sane pilot would take it out over the water...and least not without his rubber duckie

Water landings are hard. Is this the first time ever there has been an ocean landing where all aboard survived?

Very lucky to survive as the engines would scoop up the water and the aircraft break apart.
They also could have ended up on a deserted island talking to a soccer ball....
