"...They found one of the plane's engines Wednesday morning, he said. It wasn't clear if the engine constituted one of the "impact areas.""New, they had actually had contact with air traffic control.
Engine from Mississippi Marine plane crash found, sheriff says...
There are four engines, one or more of which could have come off in an out-of-control descent or which could have been the initial problem. An entire spinning prop engine coming off the wing could easily damage hydraulic lines, wing control cables, flaps, ailerons or hit the tail and damage the horizontal stab and/or elevator. All of which could cause an accident.
