Would you happen to know what the total density of a flaperon would be? Composites commonly float in water (especially when in a honeycomb structure), but I guess the 777 flaperon is not made only from composites - am I mistaken here?

Unless we know the density of a 777 flaperon, we can not say conclusively that the "drifting below the surface" scenario is wrong, imho.
