Just shows how we rely on technology. If the radio and transponder go and the plane crashes in millions of square miles of ocean, not much can be done.

The only difference in this modern age being that we expect to have the information somehow so the few times this sort of thing happens it feels very unnatural.

I don't think the radio and transponder did 'go', but there are areas over sea whereby only limited communication is possible anyway, so whether they were working or not would have been irrelevant. Someone on OcUK linked to PPRuNe which has some very good information on it.
