: FYI, on August 16, Discovery channel will have "Titanic Live."

: I think RMST would be all over him.
: They even complained about Cameron going to film the site!
The hull piece is a nice 15X20' section straddling the
black and white area on the straboard side.
This Chicago outfit will not be selling authentic pieces of
the hull. Yes, RMST would be upset. They were very upset
that Cameron managed to pull down a larger section of
the starboard officer's quarters wall going back
from Smith's cabin. The MIR grapple marks were noticeable.
That's more reason why RMST had the Russians banned from diving
on the wreck; they're recklous and dangerous.
