In Post #193 Squawk may be close to the mark: The Age article at https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...25-p5emqk.html has: "Victoria Police Acting Superintendent Martin Bourke said the initial investigation indicated the wing of the plane struck the wing of another plane while they were performing tandem manoeuvres."

I also now realise 'wondering' if the jet would hit the sea bed in ~20m water depth was neither here nor there. Loads on the structure and deceleration on contact with water must have been massive given the wreckage.
