N871Al with floats deployed after an eventful landing at a Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc rig. During a landing in heavy rain, downdraft forced the aircraft into the water. After about 30 seconds the pilots were able to lift up and land safely on the rig. No one was injured, albeit a few passengers were quite shaken up in the event (some pictures of the seats in the aircraft I did not include here...)
