Since the media puts out anything now without any forethought or fact checking w/ experts, here are some thoughts. An airplane traveling at 37 or 39 thousand ft traveling at 7 miles/min will glide w/out power approx 90 miles fwd/75 backwards (considering winds). Lets be conservative and say 50 and 50. thats roughly 7800 square miles. The size of NEW JERSEY. Now drive it at 20 mph on every street and every deep lake and dense Woods looking for someones 50 foot sailboat that is smashed into a million pieces, possibly scattered over a large area. It might take a while. Now, with no emergency communication, it would seem that this happened rather suddenly. If it was a rapid decompression, it would have continued 5 to 10 hours away w/the autopilot on. An engine exploding and tearing off a wing could be possible, but then youd have a distress call. And with wifi onboard now, you would probably have someone either texting or making an actual cell call. So it really leads in the direction of a complete electrical failure (no wifi) with backup battery power lost (which you have better odds of winning the lottery 3 times in a row) or a sudden explosion. And one thing is always sure..it ends up being something no one really thought of. But...eeeeveryonnees an expert.
