Plane crashes into Swan River - Perth Western Australia
Australia Day fireworks cancelled in Perth after plane crashes into Swan River. No idea what he was doing there, or so low! (www.perthnow.com.au) さらに...

The way he was gliding down and had his floats extended, I think he was trying to land. (He may have had another problem). The excessive bank to try turn away from moored/anchored boats caused a rapid drop in speed and cause it to stall.
Looks like a Gruman Albatross or Wiggin seaplane. Typical stall base to final, these types did not handle well when low and slow. Very unfortunate.
Thinking on it, may be too small for a Albatross and I meant Widgeon seaplane. I had a friend who said it was a handfull to fly.
