FEHOppy,

You should actually read what I posted, I suggested that the state of the vertical stabiliser was the evidence, it did not appear to have been subjected to the extremely destructive forces of impact, suggesting it seperated in flight.

The radar system they are using to discover these components is a very sensitive one. Visual range of the MK1 eyeball is very limited. These large pieces are most likely being discovered by radar. This suggests that is is unlikely they will find anything larger. I know these facts from my experience as a naval air controller, none of it is speculation.

If you wish to make non-constructive comments and wait for the final report I suggest you don't post.
