I know everyone wants to find this thing...but the costs of retrieving it are going to be astronomical.
I probably sound like a lib wishing the money could be spent more usefully, somewhere else, but I do.
They are going to get the boxes but the rest might just stay. Unless the get the ship the navy built to retrieve the russian sub from the 60’s or 70’s? They got a piece of it but it broke trying to bring it up.

I agree. Given all that has transpired I think they need to find out what brought the plane down so they can see what countermeasures or improvements could prevent this from happening again ... If that is even possible. Malaysians should be paying for this not us.
