When that Air France Airbus went down in the Atlantic Ocean a few years ago, didn’t it take close to a week before wreckage was found?
Yet now, the disappearance of a comparable-sized jet is an “unprecedented mystery” a mere two days after it was lost. So far, it isn’t unprecedented, and it’s only a mystery insofar as after a modest period of time, the plane’s fate remains unknown.

Yes, I had my doubts about this being impossible not to find anything. Of course, I’m quite sure being in a mere sea close to land is not the same as open ocean, but I don’t think it’s unusual they’re having a hard time finding it in the water. Or even if it crashed into a jungle.
