I believe it was to play on peoples' empathy...the mindset is now "Leave the wreckage alone, let them rest in peace", instead of where we are "bring it up to prove it's the Titanic" ... I had a friend arguing how they can't anyway because it would cost too much money. My counter was but we can send trillions to a country for a war that has 'nothing' to do with our country...logical thinking is dying very quickly...
