If it went straight down into the sea I would think parts of it would come up by now, maybe seats from the plane or the tail or something..it would have had to take a pretty large bomb to explode a plane with such force that the pilot and co-pilot never had a chance to react, no distress call, no mayday call, no nothing
It was probably flying in excess of 500 kts. The aerodynamic forces would be incredible. Any structural instability and it would be over, in a cataclysmic way. The plane would be shredded. Look at kamikaze footage.
This is very curious to me as well.
I sure don’t know if it could happen, but maybe the plane hit the water at such an angle that it went down in one piece? So the debris would be contained? Of course, that wouldn’t explain the oil spills.
take a look at this... http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/missing-jet/what-does-air-france-447-tell-us-about-missing-malaysian-n47846
It is looking more and more like it came apart at 35,000 ft. Spreading out the debris field over a very large area.
Preliminary investigations into missing Malaysian plane are narrowing on possibility of mid-air disintegration - source
