Breaking up
As a reply to the above questions about wheather the aircraft did break up before it hit the surface of the water is at this stage impossible to say as said before . We simply do not know if it hit the surface in low or high speed such would explain why some pieces of seemed less damaged pieces were found .Even if it maybe would seem more logical that fuselage hit surface with high speed it must be proven first . Aircraft could have made a ditch or broken up in it's decend to the surface at some point.To my knowledge impossible to prove any of this scenarios just now. Both of them would almost give the same results in form of found debris at this point, or am I wrong ?
