[B]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 ?

For sure from just looking at the pictures and reading the news 'we' can't prove anything. That's up to the investigators.

However we do have inferences.

For one thig it has been reported that the investigators believe the aircraft broke up based on wreckage distribution and body and seat recovery.

Some of us read the recovered wreckage photos as mostly free fall damage (terminal velocities in a vertical direction). Some of which seems to have fallen out of the fuselage at altitude while other pieces were ejected from the fuselage sections when they free fell into the water.

Much of the conclusive stuff has sunk so here we are working with flotsam and jetsam. No harm in waiting for more conclusive evidence but meanwhile some of us are beginning to focus on fewer postulations based on our beliefs.
