Somebody really needs to make a model of that. Eight A10-3's?

Very cool. Looks like the chutes dragged it pretty well once it was in the water.

If they left the chutes attached for a few more seconds they could have walked out to the beach to recover it.

It looks like the trunk was falling slower than the capsule until the chutes were totally unreefed.
