^^Yes, this^^
"Failed" includes all possibilities, human and mechanical. Personally, my greatest fear in not finding the plane at all is never being able to determine if mechanical failure was involved. Human intervention is strongly suggested and highly probable but that intervention as a result of a mechanical failure cannot be dismissed. Never finding the plane means every flight of every 777 will forever be at risk unless or until something similar happens again. No one wants that.
