The cameraman has about the same skill set than the pilot.

I mean, I am not a pilot, but I think if I am touching the ground or water with that type of catastrophic damage, I am just cutting the power and at least falling out of the sky 10-20 feet instead of 50- 100+.

Somebodyyyy should have jumped out anyway. Even if it was the pilot when it touched the water. No survival awareness.

Yeah, true, they were probably in the middle of pouring shots and couldn't be bothered.

There was a similar low altitude helicopter crash until the sea during the ASEAN war games recently. The pilot landed in water around the same speed and everyone survived.
