Helluva dumb way to total a perfectly good (until that loud hiss...) airplane. No chance at repairing the plane? I mean military aircraft get shot full of holes and they repair them and make them flyable. Big difference between patching holes in skin and major structural damage. If you look at the picture it looks like the stringers in the roof got bulged upwards.

Look at the photo with the raft removed. Roof stringers broken, door frame broken, cargo door ripped off...

Truly an "OH CRAP" situation.

It's become common practice anymore to use airbags to lift and move heavy machinery, air bags of any type inflating can do one hell of a lot of damage also!

It's a Piper for sure, and with what appears to be retractable gear and being a 4 seater, my first guess is it's an Arrow. Sweet little planes...

That's not the right way to turn your plane into a water landing pontoon plane is it.

Rumor has it that the pilot, upon landing�. Raft out Roud!  FC 9.8. Well done, sir.  BTW, apparently the pilot forgot his trusty pocket knife, eh?
