It is quite clear that it did not blow up at 30,000 ft. It remained intact until impact..
Absolutely. It's also clear that the aircraft had some degree of flyability after it was damaged. If you blow a wing clear off at 30,000 feet, it's not likely that the aircraft will survive the gyrations and the fast dive and remain more or less intact until it hits the ground.
If it hadn't been more or less intact when it struck down, the debris would have been spread over a couple of countries...
