The odds of surviving a takeoff gone bad is very low.

I hope everyone got out alive. I can’t even imagine the fear of those people on board knowing their plane was going down

I'd bet you have nearly 95 percent survival on this one. Could be wrong though.

“The odds of surviving a takeoff gone bad is very low.”

I would assume from the condition of that plane that everyone survived the landing in the water. What will get time is if the responders just let the plane submerge. Then they are all going to drown in freezing cold water. I am surprised that they are not already in the process of “holding up” this plane. All they need is a few cables and some helicopters. I assume they have divers on those rescue boats to string the cables.
