I don't know because if they just found out at the bottom of the ocean, how have they not found it before?
I realize that it's deep, but it was right near where their last knowing location was, so wouldn't the first thing they did was search the ocean floor around that area?
Unless they mean it's below the bottom of the ocean. and buried under the ocean floor, but it sounds like that's not the case, and, even if it were, they would have combed the ocean floor immediately after and in the years after before it was buried.
It's cool that they found it, but it says the guy that found it spent 11 million with the sonar equipment and you have to wonder how many hundreds of millions have been spent looking for her over the years and what's the reward for finding her?
Are they going to find out anything about what happened? It's been, what, 87(?) years, so wouldn't any evidence be deteriorated by now?
How does this add anything to the story?
technology has changed a lot since she went missing.. Im sure they did a really good search with what they had at the time.
And there is a lot about the ocean we still dont know. Its a big place and we cant get to much of it.
