2014, how can you lose a plane ?!?

The government can listen to a phone call in the middle east, in the middle of the freaking desert, pin point an exact location, laser target a front door, and blow the entire place up with a drone flying overhead. But they can't find a 777 airplane.
With a free app, I can personally track the whereabouts of my family members pretty much anywhere in the world where there is a signal, which is pretty much everywhere.
The plane was full of people with phones, and at least 1/2 of them or more didn't turn them off when asked to. They never do, especially the Chinese. Even when turned off, they still give out a signal that can be tracked.
So if it's not at the bottom of the ocean, where is it? It boggles the mind to think that in 2014 they can lose a 777 plane and all of its passengers who ALL have tracking devices on them (phones). It's also scary that a plane can just fly off course without being noticed and then vanish into thin air.
