When Air France 447 went down in May of 2009 they knew where it was and it still took 5 days to find the debris and they didn't actually find the full wreckage and black box until June 2011. These things take time when water is involved.

Well I don't expect them to find it but I expect them to tell us wtf happened?? At least no? Those families need closure...
With that France one they just told them in the beginning we don't know and we may never know. It wasn't until a private agency found the wreckage 2 years later that they could analyze and tell the families what happened outside of the plane is gone.

Canada doesn't count when it comes to National Security stuff they follow suit with the US. But some country in Asia could care less.
There was a ripple effect trussssst.
Anyhoo no debri no crash.
They prob flew to another planet and are sitting by the beach and sipping in alien margaritas
It was 1am so it's possible only one of the crew was awake or they could have all been asleep who knows. Maybe something happened, it woke them up, and they went into a panic and didn't have time to do anything.
As I said before you do realize that other than the takeoff the air crew really doesn't do anything but hang out. Once the autopilot kicks in after takeoff they don't do anything until after it's landed and they taxi. Sometimes pilots choose to land themselves but most of the time it's all auto.
Domon's right, at least about what would happen if a plane nosedived into the ocean.
If the plane landed on the ocean horizontally, it'd would tumble/tear apart and scatter debris everywhere. With a nose dive, there would be no bouncing - it'd crush upon hitting the ocean and penetrate into the water. There'd be some debris ejected which would float to the surface, but what was within the fuselage would largely remain there.
Now whether that happens, who knows. There's tens of thousands of square miles to cover. I'm sure they'll eventually find a debris field and oil slick.
Friend's theory (aeronautical engineer, though he works on helicopters) - the plane broke apart mid-air.
It collided with another plane on the tarmac a couple years ago and had wing repairs done - if they fucked that up and part of the wing came apart, it could cause a cascading failure and the flight crew would be dead before they even realized what was up.
