If someone had come to the group with this as an idea for a movie, he
would have been laughed off the internet:

The floats hit the water and broke off, police said. The women,
who were seated in plane, were ejected through a hole in either
the side or the bottom of the plane, formed when the landing
gear ripped off, Pott said. They landed in the lake, where a
witness rescued them.
...
The pilot of the plane was able to pull up and away from the
water and come to some sort of a skidding landing in a nearby
field in Columbus in Anoka County. Neither the pilot nor a
fourth occupant were injured.
