The surface area of that commercial AF447 aircraft is a wee bit
greater than the exposed area of a human hand.   Besides, how would
the rest of your body look after your hand was hit by a tonne or
greater amount of meteorite or satellite debris?

Obviously their cockpit took either a direct hit, or they had nothing
much left of their composite aircraft to fly within seconds of
whatever they encountered.  Not enough time to hit any of their push
to transmit buttons or to otherwise engage any SOS signaling (most of
which should have been via satellite and otherwise automatic even if
pilots and other crew were dead).

How about, do UFOs ever get pulled over for DWIs?

The odds were simply building against us all along, whereas eventually
with an ever increasing population of commercial air traffic, an
aircraft
was destined to encounter a reentering bit of meteorite or even that
of
terrestrial space debris.  As the onset of an ever increasing gauntlet
of meteorites and perhaps even an asteroid or two, this simply can not
be so easily obfuscated (banished/excluded) from public record.

The passing shockwave alone from a near miss could itself tear the
bejesus out of such an aircraft.  Perhaps this is just the start of
what the recent demise of Sirius B has yet to contribute.
