Often, water landings end up like the Ethiopia Airways jet that was hijacked and ran out of fuel (video below). Even that took a lot of skill, and it saved many lives on board.

Keep in mind though, most attempted water landings by planes not meant for water landings, are attempted over the ocean. In general, a river is a nice smooth surface compared to the open ocean.
