The aircraft is pointing at Fono Island. That means the runway is behind the aircraft, with the aircraft roughly aligned with 04. So it's either landed long on 04 and run off the end and stayed straight, or it landed short on 22 and done a 180 during the deceleration in the water. I'd be very surprised if it landed directly in the sea without touching down anywhere on the runway first.
