There are various military, civilian, remote or manned underwater vehicles that can undertake recovery from depth.
Of course. We have all seen Titanic. there are small capsules that can be sent down to depths in the Mariana's Trench. But I'm talking about a salvage operation- not just a documentary for Wildlife on One.
As far as I know, there is no apparatus that would be able to salvage an engine for example sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic.
I doubt an engine was the problem and would not need to be salvaged.
The TWA wreckage was salvaged quite well due to its relative proximity to land. But this is different.
My educated guess would be to purely focus on the FDR and salvage that.
I agree. Bits of the Air India terrorist crash were recovered from mid-Atlantic were they not ?

You are completely wrong. No one s***** about with weather just to get home and/or for costs. Whether you are in a C-152 or an airliner.
But we already have evidence of the captain reporting serious turbulence to base. Why, is another matter.

Aviation experts said the risk the plane was brought down by lightning was slim.
"Lightning issues have been considered since the beginning of aviation. They were far more prevalent when aircraft operated at low altitudes. They are less common now since it's easier to avoid thunderstorms," said Bill Voss, president and CEO of Flight Safety Foundation, Alexandria, Va.
He said planes have specific measures built in to help dissipate electricity along the aircraft's skin.
"I cannot recall in recent history any examples of aircraft being brought down by lightning," he told The Associated Press.
Well, he's talking out of his bottom then.

Unless he doesn't consider helicopters as 'aircraft'.
