Yes, if indeed they do find the black box today, as they say they will, that must be the case of what happened. A nosedive into the ocean. Incredible though, that they have not found any wreckage.

An in-flight breakup would have scattered wreckage over a wide area, Tilmon said. If the jet hit the water at a steep angle, at high speed, it would likely have taken much of its frame and contents down into the deep with it.

The most successful water landing in recent history was the so-called "Miracle on the Hudson" in 2009, when the crew of a crippled US Airways flight landed safely on the river off Manhattan after losing both engines. The Airbus A320 remained intact, and all 155 passengers and crew made it safely off the aircraft.
But the Hudson is "pretty relaxed by comparison" to the remote Indian Ocean, "where you have swells of 10, 12, 16 feet," Tilmon said. "It's pretty difficult to make that kind of landing on water."

Or maybe they were able to get the black boxes loose and dump them while in the air, then land someplace?

I don't believe it's in the water, nor do I believe that everyone is dead and it's a terrorist attack. Never one time in history has something mysterious happened and nobody have a clue while the terrorists are laughing. No, they want the world to know what they are responsible for, so if it was a terrorist attack where they purposely crashed the plane, we'd have known about it long before now. The pilot gave no indication he was up to anything sinister, and they cannot find anything wrong with any of the crew that is alarming. They have cleared all passengers.

I also don't believe it crashed into water. The tides would have brought debris to a shore somewhere by now. You can't have a plane that large crash into water and disappear without a trace.

And the 'beacon' ping that could be the black boxes is pretty close to shore compared to where they thought the plane was to begin with. 4 weeks to find that beacon? And still no debris anywhere?

No, they aren't in the ocean. If they crashed, they went into the side of a mountain somewhere.
