No, not at all.
I just did a back of the napkin, "Where could they land" exercise and assume that the folks who do this for a living are as well.
There are, as we all know, established international procedures for handling inflight emergencies on all commercial routes, even the remote ones.
Once a flight is lost, or anomalies occur, there are established routines. I'd love to hear the tapes of the other controllers trying to deal with a lost aircraft that may be in their airspace, threatening other aircraft.
