The latest evidence indicates - breaking up in the air at (almost) full altitude. The passengers found so far were stripped and had broken bones all over but no signs of fire or explosive impacts on their bodies. Furthermore they were found in two groups approx. 50 miles separated. Theory is that the fuselage broke up in air, the bodies fell and were stripped by the drag and smashed hitting water at 120mph in two areas depending on from which part of the aircraft body they fell. The problem is there is an alternate theory...the cross currents in this part of the Atlantic are very strong...causing bodies to drift apart....which would explain the two primary locations. What they call 4 fractures....meaning breaks on the upper arms and legs can result from the fusalage landing on the water horizontally with passengers still strapped into their seats. As for being partially disrobed, in other crashes, they found people lost their clothes from the wave action of the water and not from falling from the sky. Of course, either theory could be right.
