I have no reason to support it, but my surmise is that there are very large (relatively) pieces of 447 on the bottom, to include engine pylon and wing "unit", complete wing box, perhaps to include a fair amount of outboard panels w/ rib and spar remnants.

I use the Turkish accident as a metric; large down velocity, less than flying horizontal, and a tail first hit. That was a twin, and failed in historical fashion given the energy parameters. Three sections: fore, wing box and wing(s) and aft, with tail. The Vertical, if it failed as described in the report, may have started down with the rest of the tail, but released and floated to the surface.

Have a Lone Star on bear, and some Bob Wills Music. Adios.
