It is surprising that the craft has not been found. But there are very few fact to support a good search. The search area is anywhere from the size of Texas to the size of the US, depending on what you want to base it on.

It never fails to amaze me how people will so quickly believe some elaborate conspiracy, but find it impossible to believe that it simply crashed, mechanical ,human intervention or human error. And that maybe, just maybe there are places on this world that are not always on radar or connected by cell tower, or internet. As for satellite coverage, why in the world would any government give a rip to put assets on that part of the worlds ocean (before all that happened).

Sometimes you just got to say "**** happens" and move on.

Yup. That conspiracy theory is FOS, and written by someone with zero aircraft knowledge.
