It would be hard to imagine a mechanical problem that would cause a
777 to need to be ditched in the ocean.

Just thinking (I dunno why).....
While reading through my collection of airliner safety cards, I came
across the overwater ditching procedures for the 777. While reading, I began
to wonder. How many larger (Boeing, Airbus etc) airliners have ditched while
enroute without massive casualties. Maybe I'm just not well informed, but I
haven't heard a single story of a non-disasterous enroute big iron
ditching...

Just wondering (yet again...)
