Without belaboring the obvious, the airplane is upside-down. Since it probably didn't get flipped on the recovery, and given the likely scenario and the dynamics involved, one suspects that it flipped beyond the vertical before it hit the water. In which case the pilot may well owe his life to auto-eject.
