It didn't look like it was damaged too bad

It was a pretty smooth ditching. If I had to guess, I'd say the crew probably ran out of gas. Four engine planes don't just lose power in all engines as a rule unless there's no fuel left. Between unfamiliar systems and the distraction of a landing gear malfunction, that seems like a reasonable cause.
