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.
These destructions might have happened when the wreck floated into the rocks? Maybe that the helicopter was almost in one piece after the ditching.
