Well if it is flyin at 35,000 ft (just a complete guess) and traveling at about 500 mph (also a guess) then I could see things being scattered for quite some distance.
One of the companies I used to work for had a bunch of Piper PA34-220T Seneca's. One of them disintegrated in mid-air (actually three of them over the years). This particular one shed its horizontal stab at 9,000 feet, it pitched violently forward, and the rest of it just blew apart. The wings came off, the engines departed, etc. The
battery, located in the nose compartment, right up front, was found by a farmer in his field two miles from the rest of the wreckage. You would think all that lead would go straight down, but no. It's very hard to predict where that stuff will end up.
