FDR

No way can the FDR have separated on impact with the seabed, I do not believe even a heavy aircraft would sink so fast.. Therefore it is reasonable that it came off upon impact with the surface of the sea and because of the small debris field, it would seem that the plane had a very slow forward speed.. and the tail and/or rudder did not break off in the air.
