“Wait, maybe I’m confused here, but aren’t those windows between the door and the wing submerged in the Lang photo?”
The window aft of the opened passenger door has water only up to the bottom part of the window in that image. Previously in the Puentes video the same window went from high in the air to mostly submerged, but it was raised more out of the water again than in the water as the sinking nose of the aircraft pitched the aircraft more forwards in this image.
"The submersion of the plane had a specific order in which the various parts of the plane went under. As of when the Puentes photo was taken with Fuddy and Yamamoto close to the door, the 2 windows between the wing and the door were already submerged. Lang’s photo was taken before those were fully submerged."
In the Lang photo both of those windows are fully submerged.
