Let's see now. An engine tears apart on takeoff severing fuel lines and probably the fuel tank. The pumps which are electric continue to pump. Yes there will be fuel in the bay. If this plane took off to the South over Jamaica Bay it should have been over Rockaway in a minute or less. So why the long airborne time? Unless it took off in another direction and then turned. I guess more will be known soon.

Apparently they took off in the opposite direction and then turned south to start heading towards their destination
