            http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40991326

            Largest loss of life in a US Navy sinking in history. The ship talked about in Jaws finally found. Thanks to Paul Allen.

                                          Good. This whole thing was a massive overreach by the US at the behest of the media companies.

                                            That's not what they said - but they did say the government was likely/was acting as outside their jurisdiction.
