Seaplane flips on Sydney Harbour 25/1/2024

More media BS and headline-grabbing. No "flipping" involved, the aircraft crash landed on the water and lost a float, and all the pax were offloaded onto watercraft with no injuries.

Every chance that the float was damged by striking floating debris, which i'm always wary of when in my small boat.

Occasionally you see something in the water which is capable of damaging a hull.

And according to 9 it was taking off and one of the "INFLATABLE PARTS BURST". Are these reporters stupid or what?

No; they're not stupid; they interview stupid people who tell them that.

TheABC is reporting that it was an aborted takeoff and the damage occurred when landing hard. Maybe damage occurred during takeoff?
