Air France 447 would be a good measuring stick...and they seem to have found large pieces and been able to identify.

No it wouldn't: "The aircraft remained stalled during its entire 3 minute 30 second descent from 38,000 feet[30] before it hit the ocean surface at a speed of 151 knots (280 km/h)

There's a major difference between a stall and descent speed of 151 knots and a full thrust speed of 500 - 600 MPH.............a BIG difference.

The retired pilot's opinion makes a hell of a lot more sense that all the other crap that has been tossed at us by the MSM..............

But then again, it could very well have been alien abduction...........
