Most likely because the landing was so abrupt everyone fainted from the change in pressure, and by the time they woke up they were already drowned by the rapid wave of water inside. Since OP was in the bathroom, water got in less fast and with less pressure, so he had those extra seconds to wake up?

I don't think they would have drowned, especially with the life preservers on them. It was only waist deep it sounds like at first. Like maybe it could have drowned a couple close to where the water was entering but not everyone there. I could see pressure knocking them out but not killing them

Pressure is a bitch and it's possible the water was deeper before op woke up. The seatbelts still on is a sign that it all happened very fast.
