You might be interested in the notes of Russian Interfax News Agency telling the astonished reader, that bodies and part of the wreckage have been found 250-300 meters off the shore, not 4nm off the shore at the crash site.

ROSTOV-ON-DON. May 5 (Interfax) - Another two bodies - presumably victims of the Armenian Armavia A-320 airliner crash on May 3 - have been found off the coast of Sochi's Adler district, a spokesman for the search operation headquarters told Interfax.
A part of the plane, presumably its fuselage, has been found at some distance from the crash site, the spokesman said. The bodies were found 250-300 meters off the coast.
An Emergency Situations Ministry motorboat will recover the bodies and take them to the shore.
The bodies of 50 people from the A-320 plane have been found. Of them, 41 have been identified.

SOCHI. May 5 (Interfax) - The site of the May 3 crash of Armenia's Airbus A-320 passenger airplane has been located, Russian Transport Minister Igor Levitin told journalists on Thursday.
"The exact crash site has been located. Its coordinates have been defined. The signals received by French services and the Emergency Situations Ministry's data suggest that this is the exact area," Levitin, who is also overseeing the investigation into the crash, said.
No large parts of the plane have been found at the site, the minister said. "There were a lot of them. But they were not large," he said.
The crashed plane had three flight data recorders, he said.
While I don't want to take any conclusions at this point, it is certainly interesting to note the distance, the wreckage is apparently spread over.
