I'm hoping so but hoping not at the same time. Was hoping some wackjobs had them all alive still.

Just how likely is it that a 24 meter chunk of a 777 is still afloat after 12 days??

Quite possible.  Don't you ever listen to the safety briefing?  Your seat may be used as a flotation device.....

I hope they find something, at this point even crashed is better than missing indefinitely.  The families really deserve some closure.  Can you imagine the pain they must be going through not knowing?  It would drive me nuts.

In that location... the 777 woulda had to flown until it ran right out of fuel...  those large and empty fuel tanks would probably make good buoyancy devices if not ruptured on impact.

Some sensible suggestions..

I'd go beyond "floating black boxes" though.  The data needs to be live streamed.  And yes, I know why it isn't but that must change IMO.

The plane attemted an emegency landing and headed for the nearest treadmill, but it got stuck on the top and went under the rollers at the end. If they look there they will find the whole thing all crushed and ground up with the rollers and gears and stuff.
