nobody has mentioned yet the fact on a ditching at sea, the engines will have been pulled from the pylons quite violently and this could be a reason why the flaperon section has also been torn away. remember the hudson a320? that wasnt exactly a high speed ditch.

i would expect the engine fan cowl assemblies which are also composite will be bobbing about somewhere.
