GarageYears. Uhhg... what fantasy land do you live in? Please give me one example of a large widebody jet *landing* on the ocean and remaining even close to intact? And if you mention Sully and the A320 on the Hudson... immediate disqualification - a relatively smooth and calm river is NOTHING like the Indian Ocean on ANY day of the year.
Did not the Tristar land in the Florida Everglades.
T7 crash in San Fran bounced around a fair bit, just check out the videos on YouTube there should be plenty to choose from. Remainder of Aircraft stayed in tact. Bits of flaps missing.

Anything is possible and actually having some waves to cushion the impact so less chance of a breakup.

Chances are some of the flaps and other control surfaces came off and these are what is likely the debris, if it is actually from MH370.

Please give one example of a wide body attempting to land and breaking up!
