Even in the most perilous situations, at least one of the 239 people would have been able to get an emergency text or call to someone.

Even the plane was hijacked and they collected the communication devices, no way they could get them all before someone called out.

Section of plane is on fire, someone calls a loved one.

I think back to 9/11 and all the calls made then, fast forward 13 years and even more people have a mobile device.

Unless the plane was struck by a missile or exploded without warning into a million pieces, it's mindbottling how there's no known calls.
