Hi, all,

re the debris found so far and which is said to be from 9M-MRO or very likely so:

These parts are mainly from wings/tail , but AFAIK nothing from the hull-body itself. In case of a high violent crash (steep, high velocity) i find it logical to have similar sized debris from the hull. If these materials are of similar buoyancy (and size) like the wing parts there should have been found pieces from the hull, too.

Thus my question: Are the materials of a B777 hull  similar like those of the wings in respect to buoyancy?

If the answer is yes, the implication would be the hull was not damaged that hard, means "likely ditch".

Thanks for Your time.
