I am fairly certain that is not possible. The plane wouldn't have enough speed to disintegrate not only the plane and the fuel, but the bodies as well.
It would likely rip the wings off and accordion the plane.

I feel so sorry for the families. I know if I had a loved one on that plane, I would desperately hold onto some hope that there had been a hijacking and they were alive. It seems to me the plane crashed, but I think it would be natural to hold onto some slim hope if you were a family member. They are being tortured.
It happened in the everglades.

Where they found nothing?
Where they found nothing larger than a kneecap. But they knew where it crashed and it was in less than two feet of water.

got a link?
My information is based on personal knowledge, but Ill see what I can find.
"The DC-9 was utterly destroyed on impact, with no large pieces of the fuselage remaining. Sawgrass, alligators, and risk of bacterial infection from cuts plagued searchers involved in the recovery effort. "

thanks... but it does appear there was small debris, part of an engine etc... that said, it does indicate that if the plane hit shallower water relative to its speed that it could disintegrate. If in shallow water in the ocean, then tides could sweep small debris away.

But most of this discussion was about denigration, while in the air.

I had a fighter officer explain some details about the Korean airline that crash-landed at San Francisco (you all remember Capt Sum Ting Wong, I presume?). Once details and analysis of this crash come about, I'll have to find one of them and get their take on this. He had some really cool stuff about how Boeing airliners are designed to be increasingly idiot proof, to the point where basic maneuvers in speed and altitude can be countered by the computer, and that the pilot of the SF incident literally put the damn computer into the wrong mode which prevented it from saving him on his botched runway approach. I imagine the same instruments are in place if the pilot somehow places the aircraft into a nose dive like could have happened here.

My fingerlexia acts up even more, when I'm tired.
