Does it point to a very high speed impact?
In recent times i have not seen an accident where there was so little information in the public domain.
Keeping that in mind - we have read that a US vessel has recovered '100' small pieces. What the Egyptian authorities have shown was all 'light stuff' which was seriously bent and torn. The same impression exists about parts we usually not post about.
There is not a single report or remark about larger components having been recovered, like the 'usual' vertical tail and some larger flight control surface parts.
Surface vessels have been involved only a very short time. There is no evidence in the public domain showing many vessels searching on the surface. The surface ships that stayed longer hardly moved about. Which suggests a rather complete plane going down.
Authorities have reported multiple debris area's subsea. Which means the plane has at least broken up after impacting the surface.We have no numbers of the dimensions of the area, but know depth is around 2,500 m so about 7,500ft. That can explain part of the spread.
Based on this scant information you would expect a high speed and rather vertical final impact. The speed complying with the fpm estimates based on Greek information. But does not immediately explain a vertical impact.
