Not sure, but I read that the [idiot] pilot of that plane later refurbished tha plane and re-registered it from OY-JET to OY-WET 
He is also believed to have had his helicopter license revoked after he used his private helicopter to chase a group of vandals off his land after they broke into his property. For the sake of everyone else, I hope he is unable to renew his next medical...

I don't know much about it BRL, but I do seem to remember this comming up here or possible on the flyer site, a couple of months ago.
I think the answer was something to do with the Citation engines being left in the "on" position. I think if the engines quits while in the "on" position, there is some sort of auto restart. As I remember the explination it was likely that the engines constantly tried to restart, but couldn't because of the water, but when the passengers exited, it probably allow the aircraft to rise just enough to allow the engines breath enough air to restart.
I'm sure Chilli will know much more, and be able to put you straight
If not, a search here or over the other side, might reval the thread that I'm remembering.
