It would be possible for it to go down intact - if it had a relatively slow landing on the sea (A fast impact would most likely leave debris). But that would beg the question about the possibility of escape and the use of a liferaft.

It'll be a jobbie for magnetometer and sidescan sonar now to detect it.
