Someone post the video of the landing once it's available. That'll be epic.

I would never have imagined that it would float. Shallow water for sure as it clearly hit the seabed.
Pretty cool for a failed landing. |

After the first burn the rocket dropped spinning, almost like if you spun your index finger in a circle. When the second burn lit the rocket couldn't straighten out, it stayed at an eleven o'clock position as it hit the water. |

Here's a cool diagram from a while back that shows the whole "aim for the water unless everything looks good" thing in case anyone's having trouble picturing it.
