From what I've been able to find, there were never any actual pictures/sonar scans of the debris field released. Does anyone know any particular reason to not be releasing that to the public?
2. The US Coast Guard is a part of the Department of Homeland Security; the sonar and pictures they take could reveal capabilities they deem important to US national security (ie how good the sonar is, resolution of photos, etc.).
3. It's generally considered poor taste to post disaster photos before the families have had funerals. Naval institutions tend to be more tradition focused than other entities.
same way there is a difference between photos of dead bodies undergoing forensic investigation, and those undergoing archaeological investigation.
I'm not really joking here, there has to be some sort of threshold and I'm not sure how it can be defined.
It is somewhat surreal that a historically short amount of time must pass before people can visit these areas without it being taboo. Some of them, in my opinion, are extremely important to humanity such as Auschwitz and Choeung Ek, and the latter happened during my lifetime.
Sigh. Shea and Wilson conclusively documented [0] the primacy of Leviathan, a direct continuation of the Ugaritic sea monster Lôtān, one of the servants of the sea god Yammu defeated by Hadad in the Baal Cycle.
