Doesn't have to. Just needs to heat them up enough to weaken them. Been through that with the 9-11 conspiracy nitwits.
While your question to Etud Lavia is well asked, anyone in the aviation business will be concerned about factors that may negatively influence the investigation into this tragic crash.
Note how Malaysia handles that disappearing 777 ... one could almost smell the political pressure and spin in that one.
One sincerely hopes that the Russian investigators are not given any "under the table" push, and that they are allowed to do their job. As etud notes, the investigators to date have a good rep.
