Check the Reddit live streaming thread - multiple reports that the plane appears to be largely intact and they’re not finding a huge debris field. Debris and bodies appear to be limited to a small area.
Way too early, imo.
Early reports of big stories often lead down false roads.
6 bodies could be the 6 that came out early when the tail broke off, for example.
We need to know if any significant bits are missing, for one thing.
Like the V-stab, for example.

Above is a case of a plane flying into bad weather and incompetent pilots flying a perfectly good plane into the ocean.
