It's interesting that the pieces found so far are all parts of the flight controls/Flaps. Does this indicate they may have been deployed on touchdown on the water thus indicting a controlled landing attempt?
Good point. Does this mean that the fuselage may have sunk somewhat intact and the other expected flotsam like seat cushions and life vests are not adrift to be found on a shoreline?
Or, are these honeycomb composite pieces all that survive a two year journey in the currents without decomposing or sinking?
