debris field- not a given

yes while it may not be in one piece,assuming there will be a massive debris field is just that- an assumption.One must keep an open mind.The possibility of the fuselage remaining largely intact and sinking cannot be ruled out until some of the sighted debris has been identified as mh370.And as tourist says, the 777 is a tank.For any 777 drivers out there-would the fly by wire system and associated protections keep the plane in the flight envelope after fuel starvation and flameout (with a/p engaged and both pilots incapacitated)?Could this have led to an impact with a low vertical speed component and an airspeed just above stall speed?
