Diamond Bob;
I believe it was posted in this thread that Airbus announced the plane was in normal law for the entire flight.
That is correct. The engines never actually failed, they just couldn't accelerate due to blade damage. Full hydraulics and electrical power were available until splashdown at about 130kts.

The NTSB Docket of all available materials associated with the investigation can be found here. Detailed photographs of the fuselage damage are available here. I understand the NTSB will release the full report on May 10th.
