I don't know much about radar - perhaps these more knowledgeable posters I'm pinging can help - I'm curious about the plane going completely off radar at 4000 feet - does that mean it blew up?

Anybody got a link to the earlier story on this that talked about the debris field? If memory serves, the article cited said there had not been any large portions of the plane recovered at that time; only thousands of smaller pieces were seen.

Going off the radar at 4000 feet doesn't necessarily mean that it blew up. Some radar lose the signal at a minimum altitude, depending on location between the radar and the target and whatever obstacle that could be in the way to block the return of the signal.
