    Clearly journalists reported the story once they got word of It. To the best of my knowledge, thats there job! Unless Scuba Steve is working for The Star I don’t think they could have checked before publishing it!

    What is the necessity for somebody apologising “fast”…is there a time limit on this?

    I highly doubt it caused any level of national upset.

    Of course they could never have been pegged back into the tide in the face of a public outcry…

    And it’s not like national media covered the news of nighttime raids, or the wonders of a sailing vessel retaining its masts but losing its wheel or anything…

    Jesus, is this stuff compiled by children or what?

    Is it considered stealing to salvage items from a sunken vessel? I thought in cases like this it was finders keepers? Genuine question, please don’t delete this time!
