Doubtless they do, but we're not yet privy to that information.
The sources that support the undershoot theory don't seem to agree on how the aircraft ended up pointing away from the airport (we're told that it could have spun round 180° when it hit the water, or that it might have been gradually blown round by the wind).
A photo of the aircraft on final approach, or in the water on the runway heading would back up that theory, but we haven't seen any yet.
