My opinion is that the plane was flown into the ocean at speed without any attempt to make a controlled landing.

BTW, You could be right. But the fact remains the aircraft until we know different, could have possible sat down on the water and remained mostly intact for a short while. Not likely, but possible.

Well if the pilot in command was bent on suicide I doubt that he would have done a soft landing in the ocean. It would have gone like that Egyptian Air 767 that was flown into the ocean off Long Island. Just MHO.
