Depends what you call successful.

A couple of guys ditched a Cessna off the coast of Kaikoura several years back. They got out of the aircraft alright - but died because they had no lifejackets as they had not planned to fly over water...

<edit>Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 - ditched off a beach on the Comoro Islands - 50 people survived. www.youtube.com
