Well, an aircraft falling from that distance would be going quite fast, and would hit the water with an enormous amount of force. Seeing as planes aren't very strong or rigid, it would break up instantly upon impact. At that point, it would sink to whatever depth the water was. ValuJet 592 crashed in the Everglades, so the water was only a few feet deep. TWA 800 crashed off Long Island Sound, so it was discovered in nearly a thousand feet of water.
