Huh - I wonder what they plan on doing to find it - now that there is absolutely no chance on earth that the pinger still operates... Are they going to sonar scan the entire ocean floor and just look for a rectangular 14*13*32cm box? Beats me
They look for the big stuff and hope for the small things like black (orange. & white) boxes.
Even with some of the big stuff an awful lot can be discerned from photos on the seabed so at least it's progress.
