From what I saw the forward floats have completely failed to inflate.

The round item that's seen near the nose looks like a fixed cowl around a radar or something of the sort.

It explains the very rapid nosing over of the aircraft.

P.S. If you haven't done Helicopter Underwater Escape Training before or recently make sure you get a course.
