Corrected entry: After the plane crashes into the river, and they show Tommy Lee Jones and the agents checking the condition of the prisoners, don't you think they would check to see if the pilot, co-pilot and engineer are still alive? They might have survived since the front end, where the cockpit is, is still well above the water.

Correction: We don't see all of the agents after the crash. Some of them could have checked on the air crew. Additionally, the crew could have their own procedure for escaping the cockpit after a crash.
