Passenger witness said engines were sucking SF Bay water just prior to impact.
Debris field after impact is mostly luggage ripped out of the cargo hold. Lucky survivors.

If those PW4000's were sucking in water.... that could explain him hitting the seawall. Boeing's first fly-by-wire..... Lets see what their investigation shows. If they determine that it was
not a pilot error.... then Boeing might have a problem.
That is Not the kind of publicity they want.... especially since the 787 issues.
