- foldr 5y agoI can't claim any expertise, but I don't think we would. The Indian Ocean is vast, so it's no surprise that we didn't find any floating debris in the rough region of the presumed crash site. Then it's a question of how much of the debris would eventually wash up on shore in a location where someone would notice it. It's also unlikely that a 777 would succeed in making a 'soft' landing in the open ocean. It's not totally impossible in favorable conditions with a skilled pilot, but the odds are against it.
