Unmanned subs can take pictures and robotic arms can lift up debris. But retrieving bodies from that depth is unheard of.

I struggle to believe that there were text messages sent from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean where there are no cell towers and the plane was out of reach of radar.
I also find it somewhat implausable that passengers would be able to dial out on seatback airline phones (assuming) but neither pilot was able to send out a mayday call.
