The cockpit of MH370 may have been ripped apart

With the two fragments supposedly almost certainly belonging to the MH370, experts judged at least part of the cockpit not to fall to the sea floor immediately.

The discovery of the cockpit door of the missing aircraft made the previous evaluation that the cabin intact was not correct, according to the Daily Beast.

Previously, experts showed the ability of the MH370's cockpit to be intact after being hit, while other fragments such as the wings and tail were broken. The last-minute hypothesis of the plane, that the plane could run out of fuel, slid in a spiral into the sea, one could hit the water first. This indicates that the fuselage and the center of the wing can sink quickly to the ocean floor.

However, this is the first time there have been signs that investigators have assessed that the body of the MH370 could be broken when it hits the sea surface.

A remainder of the engine cover also makes the hypothesis clearer. Aircraft engines can be cut off from the wings due to the impact, and due to its weight, have sunk very quickly. The outer cover with Rolls Royce logo is much lighter. This debris drifted with the longest distance, to the coast of South Africa.

The hypothesis MH370 breaks out may be similar to what happened to Air France 447, an Airbus A330, when it crashed into the South Atlantic in 2009. At that time the cockpit fragments and 50 bodies were searched. see drift when the accident location is determined for several days. While with MH370, there is no clear basis for the plane crash.

The distribution of debris was discovered from MH370 with a range of more than 1,600km, from Rodgrigues island to the coast of South Africa, showing that more debris might still float after more than 500 days of the missing plane. Like the cockpit door, each fragment has its own story with investigators.
