Sounds as if there were no distress calls to be picked up.  Best
explanation is a sudden and complete catastrophe.  Not much to be done
even if help were nearby.

 It is horrible what happened with the French airliner. It is almost
impossible to bring the necessary help to the victims in time. No
planes, no helicopters, no ships in the neighbourhood. It is almost
unbelievable that in this period from high-tech machinery there are
still gaps in information gathering and picking up distress
signals....My thoughts are with the families from all the victims.
