As for coming apart at altitude, also already proven to happen (just need enough range on a SAM)
So the BEA has reported as these truths imply: "Enligne de Vol"
En Ligne de vol does not mean flying. The report with that phrase in clearly also shows it was falling like a brick, with low forward speed, but it happened to impact in a flight attitude. How ? Who knows, maybe jsut luck, maybe flat spin or similar
There is no need for looking directly under LKP, or within 40 nm for that matter.
But they
did look at LKP. The first air searches (supposedly) did so, and found no wreckage, and the first pinger searches also covered that area and came up blank IIRC. This latest successful search was going back over old ground, not searching new areas.
Now, if you want to do the
real conspiracy theory, what is they logical conclusion if at the fourth time of looking you find something right where you looked the
first time and
didn't find it ? How long would it take to create convincing fake recorder data (they've done that before, right ?) and chop up enough bus bits and drop on them the bottom ? A year or so maybe ? And for the clincher, why aren't there any public photos of recognisable bodies or personal effects ? - because they wouldn't be there in a fake wreck!
