Remember that Air France 447 disappeared without a trace and without communication as well.

In that situation, the Captain was in the rest-cabin and the co-pilots appeared to have made fatal piloting errors causing the plane to lose lift and stall after the autopilot disengaged due to failure of air speed sensors. Seems like things happened so fast and they were in such a panic that they didn't radio out and also made all the wrong decisions in terms of keeping the plane flying including including the youngest co-pilot continuously pulling the nose up causing the plane to literally just fall out of the sky.
