HarryMann;
We need to take deep breath... and let some experts think this through a bit.
Yes, exactly.
One thing this new information affords,
if correct, is, the location of the impact point can be more closely approximated using the kinds of techniques we have seen described working backwards from where the vertical stab was located.
If this new assessment of the condition of the aircraft's descent and impact is true, the recorders will not have been ejected as projectiles at some point at high altitude but will be within a smaller radius of the yet-to-be-determined point of impact of an intact airframe, deep-water ocean currents notwithstanding.
