It was in the open Atlantic, not near shore, and there were no ships out there or any other radar (AWACS or whatever). There is not 100% coverage by radar of the earth, not by a long shot.

What there should be is a ping system for planes via satellite. It should only take a few bits of data, and we'd know fairly accurately where the pinging stopped. Get a few of them and we could triangulate or at least use a proximity system like with cell phones/towers.
