Hey all;
When the book threads finally get in, you can put this in the magazine section.
Anyway....
Just came across this copy while at the dentist office. There are two articles; one is called "Titanic Mystery" and the other is a fictional story of boy scouts "Aboard the Titanic"
the first article seems to check out with it's facts and such. There were two paragraphs that caught my eye though:
"Ballard's search was actually a cover story for a secret naval operation: to map and document data on the two U.S. nucular subs- USS Scorpion and the USS Thresher"
then later on in the article, a quote from Ballard: "I don't think the Pentagon expected me to find the Titanic. They were a little nervous that the cover story would be blown. But it wasn't and a few years later, they chose to declassify the information"
I'm thinking to myself, "This clearly makes no sense"
Think about it: if they had not found the Titanic, than the world would go on, and someone else would take the helm at finding her. If he does succeed (and he did) then the world would have proof via the photos that they would take.
maybe I'm missing something here....
