The image I saw may have been greatly enlarged. It displayed a boat amidship with three people. I'll ask to see it again.
Two things we DON'T know:
1) How much damage did the Searay take?
The Searay has a major structural keel of about 8 inches of depth. (Protecting its stern-thruster among other things).
2) What injuries may have been suffered?
The
getaway boat apparently showed up promptly and transported some number of people away. That boat should have been impounded. The impounded Searay has yellow crime scene tape wrapped very carefully around the foredeck stanchions. MPs protecting blood evidence for DNA-matching?
One thing can be deduced from the crime scene:
The Searay hit a piling dock, possibly collecting small wood splinters in its propeller and keel--and fiberglass within the dock's planking. That dock stands "proud" of the water by about 16 inches. The Searay would have been clear of the water by the same measure--or more:
I'd call that "airborne", but
some might call it something else.
