Sorry for having nothing but questions, but here goes. It seems to me that the debris found from MH370 are parts that might come off in a controlled entry into the sea or were separated by under sea currents. If the fuselage had broken, on entering the sea, many light parts would have been found either in the original surface search at the drift destinations. Have we found them? Question two. Would such an aircraft stay in a stable flight mode when the first engine fails due to loss of fuel? would an autopilot or inherit stability reestablish a glide (when the second engine failed) that would give this slow and gentle entry into the sea, or would it require someone at the controls?
