Has anybody else had this?

[The Destroyer]

So you see here, I designed a mission for Jool, and sent it to land on all planets with dragons. However the dragon dispatched to laythe didn't have enough fuel, and it was coming in hot- the engines failed and it hit at a whopping THIRTY METERS PER SECOND, the RTG and decoupler exploded... but then...

It survived! (NOTE: The MJ landing is only there in case of emergency attempt, but I did not use ANY MECHJEB on this mission).

There is only one weird thing:

It's sinking.

I managed to slam into the water so fast, somehow it doesn't float anymore!

And now they wait...

Has anybody else survived a rough landing or managed to create a submarine accedently?

Currently -130 meters and sinking....

The part itself may be too heavy for the water to support it. I remember a mod a long time ago that had varying weight parts that allowed you to submerge underwater. Seeing as how it's not falling, I'm guessing it still got the water check and is just too heavy to be buoyant on the water.

No way- it's definitley not too heavy. I've seen much heavier things float.

My theory is that it crashed into it with such force, it went through a altitude that the part no longer is buyonent.

Good thing the kerbals were very slowly boyant!

If it were not buoyant anymore, it will just fall at terminal velocity. Something either is weighing it down or you have run into some odd bug.
