Life Rafts?
Two life rafts were spotted but were capsized, so the press reports say. Aren't these double sided? You just pull the canopy to whichever side is uppermost. If so I guess there were no canopies pulled up. Though not auto deployable these dinghies have been deployed. Does this mean someone deployed them? Or is it possible that the descent into the sea, described as rapid by the shipborne witnesses, could have ripped off the sponsons and somehow released the dinghies?
Hoping beyond hope for some good news. Thoughts go to families, relatives and friends, and also to anyone continuing to fly out there after this tragic accident.
