Most of the worlds oceans are so deep that ROVs would be the only practical way to reach the bottom to do work.
Yes, TWA was in the same depth range, that allowed navy divers to recover most of the wreckage.

True. But the way things have been going lately, I think they'd take it any way they could get it. But I still don't think any of the obvious suspects have a motive to attack MA. I get the feeling this is going to be a Black Swan.

Is this not a heavily trafficked route ? No one saw anything up there ? explosions etc ?
With no weather to speak of, and the (pure unconfirmed reports, but...) possible "lost radar contact" while at the FL's, I am not getting a warm fuzzy.
