They had time to get down to the deck but if you look at the 3 minutes between 8:21 and 8:24 they must have hoped they were out of the woods (800 feet and speed back up to 133 Knots), which makes the last minute particularly sad reading. 10 minutes from incident occuring to being in the drink is particularly worrying.
Walrus, I had not seen the flight track data. It really sheds different light on the possible cause. Very worrying.
