Assumed that the timing is real time?
I understand that it took between 30 and 60 minutes after the crash to get them out of the water. I somehow cannot imagine it took them 26 minutes to get the first one out? The helicopter was still afloat so visible. They had to go down only 2 to 3 meters and the water was calm. Surely more a benign set of circumstances for a rescue. I guess maybe the time stamp in the video might not be uncut
