Except that he didn't:

That's a misquote. Read the article again.
He confirmed he was on the RHS of the aircraft in 24F. We
infer that he was therefore looking at the coastline through a window on his side of the aircraft (and that may well be correct), but he didn't actually say that.
It's immensely frustrating that, nearly a month after the accident, we still haven't seen or heard:
a) results from the FDR/CVR/EGPWS analysis
b) eyewitness testimony from either of the pilots
c) eyewitness testimony from anyone on the ground who saw the aircraft as it hit the water
Pending the interim report (due in a week or so), we're still at the speculation stage.
