I *think* it depends on the angle at which it hit the ocean surface. I don’t think the Airbus flight computer would command more than, say, a 50 degree nose down attitude. Also, it’s in about 150 feet of water.

The reason I ask (and being clueless about this stuff doesn’t help) is that I saw something about the thing resting upside down, though no condition od WHAT was resting upside down was stated.

Considering the length of a plane I was trying to picture it nosing into the bottom and flipping/thus how it got upside down, or if it was ‘pieces’ resting there upside down. But even 150 is seemingly ‘doable’ to bottom out didn’t disintergrate.
