reason of crash?

Unknown for now. Crashes are inevitable. If an Air Force never crashes, it means their training is weak, or they are not flying.

What is the water temperature out there? Cold? If so, there's little hope. The ejection seat kit would contain a 1-man raft, but even if it is used, the cold can kill. And all that assumes the pilot ejected in the first place.
