#1 A US Salvage ship (EV Nautilus)located the bodies.

Several Turkish officials were in the control room so Turkey claimed credit.

#2 OK, because I was really wondering if it was a modified-to-drone looking for their reason.

#3 Salvage ship or deep-sea oil field robot sub diverted/borrowed/side-contracted from the Israeli gas field work? It's not far away and they have to have such available there.

#4 That would be most interesting, Glenmore.

Wonder if that happened, and it came out that the Jooooooos were involved in, would the families still be willing to bury them?

I mean, those Joooooo cooties might be catching.... :-D

#5 How far out to sea were they? Syrian sources said a couple kilometers, everyone else said 15-20 miles. It sort of matters.
