If they weren’t standing on an outcropping of the ocean floor, then how were they able to be upright in the water when their lifejacket wasn’t touching the water? Again, multiple people at multiple times.
Also bear in mind that this video has had the exif data removed so any editing could have been done and we would only know by how disjointed the transition from one frame to another is - which is easy to justify since Puentes was bobbling the camera above and under the water, videotaping feet and bubbles, etc the whole time. What we’re seeing is what Puentes and ABC and the NTSB wanted us to see.
We’ll find out just how trustworthy they all are...
But I eagerly await your answer to explain Yamamoto and Rosa, for example, being upright in the water when their lifejackets are not even touching the water.
