In one of the pics the T/R looks fairly intact, maybe that wouldn't be the case if it hit the water turning at some 2000 RPM? Maybe the investigators have used indicators like that to suspect t/r driveshaft failure. I'm guessing it would be relatively easy for investigators to determine if it was turning or not on impacting the surface.

A very tragic accident regardless of cause...
