T7 ditch
Quote: T7 at low speed? If it remained in one or two pieces, how long could you reasonably expect it to float?
Even at relatively low speeds, the effect of hydraulic surge will rip away sections of fuselage, as was the case with the underside of the Airbus that ditched on the Hudson river. High impact crashes will result in fragmentation in water, and buoyant debris on the surface – Swissair Halifax, and the Air NZ A320-200 Airbus in the Med in 2008.
