If it speared vertical into the water with 400ish kn then from most part of the plane, especial the front, only small shrapnel will be left over. The impact with water can be the boom, the fishermen heard, since at those speeds hitting water or concrete makes no difference.
Good that they located the recorders in shallow water, so we will find out what happened.
