LOL so they say. For a while they would not give out much info even to former crew members. Finally a few pictures were released. They hit her pretty hard though during the testing we were told and she gave a good fight till they did the final charges to make certain she went on down. Three miles down nobodies going to see much and she sure can't be raised with todays technology. With hatches welded shut no instruments that manage to reach her will see much.
We all know which carrier on the list will be the museum and where it will likely be headed.
