How does it float?

As said above... Sits on a wing and the tail... Escape on the high side and in most high wings you would put in place sill raisers which make a seal. Blocks the water rushing in but only allows enough time to get out (minutes) then shell be found on the bottom...

News on the radio saying it was a qantas jet too
