Wreckage
So it seems the bit we saw bobbing around was just the floor pan and a bit of cabin, with fuel tanks giving it buoyancy - the floats looking ineffective. The whole top deck of engines and transmission are separate and only just recovered. Wow, so a very high energy impact and I'm amazed that the injury rate wasn't worse. I would imagine that those who didn't evacuate were too incapacitated from the impact, rather than stuck.
It makes all the discussions about high level floats irrelevant.
