As per the search.

They dont know where the plane is, as once it leaves the Reclife radar station it is off grid while over the Atlantic. Thats why they are searching off the coast of Brazil and Africa. They basically have to use math based on the planes last transmission which can vary quite a bit.

This plane doesnt ahve a chance at didtching, not a clear day, the Atlanic Ocean isnt calm like the hudson straight. They will be lucky to find the wreckage within 48 hours. It will likely be weeks before we find anything as they will need to bring navy vessels to search the sea bottom for this.

I give it a 50/50 chance as to whether then could ever find the black box.
