Have seen the opposite....wheels up on gravel, much better outcome, jacked up and put the gear down, no obvious damage I was not flying just watched

Somehow I thought it would have went under water, down to the floats, a lot faster..

I was thinking the same thing....Looked like the approach was over a sand bar though. Might be sitting on the bottom.

On second look, it appears to be pivoting around the engine/prop, maybe the prop is dug into the bottom and the wing is rafting up the tail?

WOW I counted 9 boats on scene in less than 2 minutes.
