lomapaseo;
I don't see any signs of water hydraulics on this stuff in the longitudnal direction thus I suspect it hit mostly flat protected by the pressure vessel which took the brunt of the water impact. Also good news for the search effort.
my fingers are crossed that they will at least find something dense on the ocean bottom besides an orange box or two with a pinger.
Yes, agree, very little evidence of distortion - more blunt-force breakage. Re "something dense", yes that is a good thing even if the recorders aren't found soon - they may be with the main wreckage, depending upon what happened to the tail-section.
