Why was there a wall near runway at S Korea plane ...
I’m worried about the ocean all the time, so it’s weird to think that’s actually the best kind of scenario.

Well depends on the weather conditions. All the successful plane ditches happened when there weren't any waves.

It wouldn't be a ditch anymore. The plane won't be going perfectly straight and level while hitting the water, so there's a pretty good chance one wing/engine would hit the surface first and cause a cartwheel.
