A debris field of 6+ miles indicates the aircraft broke up at cruising altitude. Had it survived and crashed in one location, most of the evidence would have been vaporized. Something along the lines of United Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville PA, during 9-11.

Yes,...and if you look at the ground there you will see the ‘melted’ metal where it flowed from the explosion.

Apparently certain areas of the plane escaped the direct missile strike and crashed without disturbing luggage and various other paraphernalia from within the plane.
