Considering the size of a Mercury capsule, I'm pretty confidant for the first time in quite awhile that they will be able to locate MH370 and hopefully figure out what the heck happened.
You can also then multiply the depth challenge by the 600 odd square miles of ocean they still searching in. Mind you that's now down from the original 28 million sq miles they started with.
