Nothing definitive, no. But can I suggest that you take a look at my post #63
But I'll recap with a small part of that post anyway.
2. The gentleman on the left at about 25 sec mark says "about half an hour to go" leading me to suspect that it may well have been shaking for > 1 hour at that time.
More passenger quotes to substantiate that assumption at post #63
Are you suggesting that we should presume that the vibration only started 1:10 after the failure, because there is nothing definitive to show otherwise?
And also, with regard possibility of a water landing:
3. Reported that "marine emergency services north of Perth were put on standby to prepare for a possible water landing" so you would have to presume that some level of emergency had been called.
And finally, just to be pedantic, return time was more like 1:43, not 90 minutes.
