The plane would have imploded at depth. The way you'd scuttle such a thing would be to land it on the water very carefully, in the style of Sullenberger or Kawasaki, get whatever you want off of it, and then flood it and let it sink. There would be no implosion because the pressure would be the same inside and out all the way down.
If it wasn't flooded, on purpose or not, it wouldn't sink. It would just be a very interesting piece of debris to find in satellite imagery.

Indian Ocean. Night time. Was the ocean as smooth as a mirror? Probably not. If there were even 5 foot waves, at 200+ MPH, the plane would have ended up cartwheeling and breaking into a million pieces. Since the pilot did not have the luxury of pulling this off at a time of his choosing, conditions would have been somewhat less than ideal. At this point, I am not convinced of anything. I am however suspicious of these 1 in a million chance explanations as to what happened to the plane. I stand by my earlier statement. If MH370 went into the drink, there would have been debris washing up on shore somewhere by now.
