The SIO especially in or near the roaring 40's is never calm though, 961 might have made it in calm water if she had not snagged an engine on something. There is no way a plane even under the control of an experienced pilot could land a B777 intact in the SIO with or without fuel. We believe this one came down with no pilot at the controls and no fuel, that might not be correct but either way, the plane would break up, there would be a lot of debris. If you look in that Malaysian Factual Information report, there was a storm in the search area and south of it when MH370 vanished. Might have still been rough first thing in the morning, or even an hour later.
They can hear ice falling in Antarctica to form a new iceberg, but cannot hear MH370 hit the water going a lot faster? Or was the supposed iceberg something else. Just how far would a B777 get in an hour after flying though that 7th arc on one of the more likely predicted flight paths? Down where the Aussies suddenly abandoned their search on the 27th March soon as the Chinese got there ready to take over things.
They went to a lot of trouble to discount that area they were so enthusiastic to search at first. Digital Globe started taking images of that area looking for MH370 on the 16th March, they were not the only ones looking that far south. Their reasons for moving the search further north never held up, a dead whale and some beeps that were not from a BB proved a waste of a lot of time, and surely if MH370 had flown slower, and landed further north, something would have turned up sooner, or be seen by all the passing shipping. And now the ATSB have super glued the searchers to that 7th arc and are not going to let them stray too far from it.
