In some way, I guess it may give a hint about a stall recovery attempted but the crew, then a possible type of upset causing this crash.
All in all, what will certainly bring to us much more information are the ship from Alcatel-Lucent embarking the ROV from Phoenix International.
Here it is: L'Île de Sein, câblier (460 ft x 77 ft) , displacing 8,000 tons, built in 2002 by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (South Korea) - her sister ships are: L'Île de Bréhat (at first named by BEA) & L'Île de Ré.
