I mean, depends how hard you hit, and people need to get out... Water is not soft at ~150 knots; even Flight 1549 in the Hudson's perfect ditching resulted in the plane sinking when they opened the doors.

In this case, the ditching wasn't really intentional (the Hudson flight knew they were going down; this one just... flew into the sea due to fog), so it could have looked more like this if they were less lucky:

Per Wiki:

> Asoh later stated that he realized the plane was too low once he spotted the water after the plane broke through the fog with an air speed of 177 mi/h (285 km/h). He grabbed the control stick to gain altitude and advanced the throttles in anticipation of having to abort the landing and perform a go-around, but the plane's main landing gear had already struck the water...

The Hudson flight was very challenging flying, but they did have four minutes of "we're going down", and enough time before "we're going down in the water" to do things like raise the gear.
