I am wondering the same thing. Maybe it did not explode (no bomb). I’d say it sunk possibly in large pieces. But I would think it would break apart as it came down or as it hit the water.
And in general, you’d think some parts of the plane would still float.
So, now they have searched for it about one full day. THis is a bit amazing.
Prayers for all those effected.
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
