Unfortunately, I cannot access the recording. But I would be interested to know his reasoning. Has he seen recordings of a 777 ditching and imploding at depth or anything similar? If not then he is giving a 90% assumption.

The recordings of an identifiable noise (in fact two) happening at approximately the time that 370 was expected to have 'ditched' is an extreme coincidence.
