Are your expectations reasonable? If someone was trying to glide the plane in on a controlled crash and the plane was good at surfing waves, maybe you'd find a few fuselage pieces intact. But if it was splashed nose down and at speed it would have hit the water like a brick wall. About the only thing that would remain identifiable in that case would be the black box.

family and friends SHOULD NOT WATCH this video of a F-4 as it hits a brick wall at 400mph. I'm posting it for illustrative purposes only.

And the Flight Attendant sez: "A portion of this flight will be over water. In the unlikely event of a water landing your seat cushion can be used as a floatation device"

Remember where this supposedly took place. This part of the ocean is home to what sailors call the "roarin' forties", i.e, where 40 knot winds and 40' seas are common. Even with a perfect ditching in those conditions the airplane would have quickly broken up. If the airplane broke up on impact or as a result of the sea conditions there would be floating debris everywhere. Depending on how the airplane was configured the debris would include a couple hundred floatation devices, aka, seat cushions. They don't sink.
