That's what others are saying too. Looks almost like a water landing, plane was intact before it sank.

The A320 is still visible.....it appears a Tug may have be holding the plane afloat. CNN reporting "double bird strike". They couldn't have picked a better place to go down.

CNN now suggesting plane is possibly being "towed" at this time. Pics show two cranes over the side of one ship.
