Actually - nothing was below me...
When we first sunk we were underwater (standard glitch) but sideways... sinking...
Then everything went pitch black for about 30 seconds (I'm assuming it was trying to send me to Jail - but since I was on our shio again it really wasn't a failed boarding... so...)
The I was in the sky (heaven as they call it here LOL

) and though the camer angels didn't work well - I did manage to get it to go sidways for the shot (it was just black underneath me

)
