There was a yacht some year ago they found and everyone was gone. Plates and glasses out like they'd just finished eating and were gone. The bodies were found washed ashore some miles away, and they'd figured out that everyone ate dinner and had a little wine and they'd decided to go for a swim. But no one dropped the ladder. Had the bodies not been found in their swimming attire, that would have been a GREAT mystery.
How high is the saxboard on a yacht? Couldn't they have just made a body-raft by linking arms and legs and had the tallest stand on them?

More info.
According to end of flight simulations run by the Australian bureau, the plane was spiraling in its final moments, descending at up to 25,000 feet per minute (284 mph).
...
"Therefore there was no way this airplane was being flown by anyone. It was out of control, ran out of fuel and spiraled into the sea at high speed."
