Just to amplify the earlier post by backtrack, for those of you who haven't read the report; the pax who had inflated their life jackets on impact or earlier were unable to escape from the aircraft once it was semi-submerged. They were unable to dive below the surface of the water due to their bouyancy. Those who listened were able to swim down to the open windows/doors and swim clear of the aircraft.
Did anyone buy the paper and read the article mentioned?
