However, they Salvagers are confident debris and human remains can be recovered, AFP said.

Nevertheless, searchers will carry out recovery operations even if it is in pitch-black darkness.

Salvagers may also face crushing pressure and ice-cold water, but this is not new.

Air France 447 also found in a similar state in the Atlantic at nearly 4,000m. There was also the cargo ship El Faro (4,500m) off the coast of the Bahamas.

Then there was the South African Airways 295 (4,900m) off Mauritius. These wreckages laid far deeper than where oil and gas companies operate.
