Nothing....im not insinuitating conspiracy theories here, but there must be something floating, i can't believe it sank in one piece with nothing floating to the surface?!
Not exactly the case with AF447 it was descending at over 10,000 ft per minute so around 120 mph vertical velocity while the aircraft was in a slightly nose high attitude with a forward speed not much different to its vertical speed. IFF MH370 ran out of fuel and did a flame out glide to the surface it has been opined in a previous post that the descent rate would be around 300 feet per minute with a just over stall - say 190kts forward speed. Not comparable 'ditchings' at all.
