Something seemed to be wrong after splashdown. They lost communication with the astronauts inside the capsule. No mention of it now but - it took well over an hour to get them out.

It was no big deal.

Their satellite phone wasn't working, that's all.

Moreover, they had always planned for the recovery to take up to two hours.

"The Orion spacecraft carrying the four astronauts is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere before splashing down off the coast of San Diego around 8:07pm EDT (5:07pm PDT) on Friday, April 10.

"Within two hours after splashdown, the crew will be extracted from Orion by recovery teams in helicopters, and then flown to the USS John P. Murtha. Aboard the ship, the astronauts will undergo post‑mission medical evaluations before being taken to shore to board an aircraft bound for NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston."

I'm surprised -
I'd wanna get out quickly in case the capsule is cracked somewhere and water starts flooding in.
I'd be scared the capsule would sink and drown all the astronauts.
