When two objects collide and at least one of them is going hundreds of kilometres an hour, the speed of the other isn't really going to matter, it's going to be a disaster no matter what.
This is sad. SO sad. I most likey have family members working this scene . PRAY for that dive team and ems , it doesnt look like they are going home the same way they went to work.
Indeed; and those rotors are going to do some major damage to an airframe.
Yeah, I know those sort of guys run on the hope that they'll be able to save someone, but the vibe the reporters are picking up is that nobody thinks anyone survived this.

I know it's cold, but it helps that the water is so shallow. It's not like trying to recover people from hundreds of feet of sea water. The fuselage is probably not even fully submerged. I read eight feet. My ceiling is that high, and if I stand on a dining chair, I can change my own lightbulbs, I don't need a ladder. And I'm only 5'7".Now updated to 19 deceased so far - as of 2:50am Thursday local time. There are three debris fields.
Very sad.
The numbers may grow quite quickly if they have gained better access now to the debris.
