This is all speculation.This “wreckage” could be anything. There is stuff falling of of merchant ships into the ocean everyday. Go look at some videos at “gcaptain.com” to see container ships breaking up, vehicles flying off decks in bad weather, ship collisions etc.

If the plane hit the water at terminal velocity or under power, the cabin would not have stayed intact. That would be a physical impossibility.

I have read where hitting the water at speed would be like crashing into a concrete wall. The plane would basically explode, as well as any bodies, and the tail would meet the nose at the point of impact in one third of a second.

Generally the pieces of wreckage will sink to the bottom.

The black box is near the tail, and it is made to withstand such impacts.

If this plane hit the ocean, our undersea sonic sound systems or our subs would have picked it up. The sound would have been akin to an explosion, underwater.

Also, anyone who says they know exactly where this plane hit is full of it. Everything we know so far that has not been denied or hedged by the authorities is still open to interpretation to some degree, and is based on certain straight line assumptions—assumptions which generally don;t hold true in the real world.

We have a network of satellites that can track anything in the air.

We know, Malaysia knows and China knows more about what happened then we or they are letting on.

I am amazed at how fast they are all trying to get this off the news.

And we are risking the lives of a lot of brave men, who are sent at in these horrible weather conditions to try to find any wreckage art all. Let’s hope we do not lose any other aircraft.

I suppose if the pilot really wanted to hide the plane, and he was wanting to test himself he might have tried to land it smooth, and let it sink mostly intact...

It sure is a crazy mess of a story however it plays out..

Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger says you can land a jet in water in one piece.

I don’t see how the splash made by a 160 ton plane that crushes on impact would be “audible” compared to a 50,000 ton rigid steel ship hitting a big wave.
