Good to hear the planes are being recovered -as for the dis-respect to the servicemen that is utterly disgraceful

If I found a wreck with bodie/s I would leave it the f*** alone ,so should everyone else -a job for the proper person

Get a good solid GPS reading on the site, and contact the appropriate authorities. Show some friggin respect for the dead, you ghouls!!!!!!!!!

Sad to hear that, cannot believe they would not try to id the remains in every case before anything was taken. Definitely a dis-honor to the serviceman.

For those of you like me, who's eyeballs just don't work like they used to here is a link to another source for the same article. May be a little easier to read for some.

Thanks Bucksnort for posting the copy of the article. My paper did come out rather small. I hope this article hits the heart of those who recover these aircraft, and gives them more respect for those who lost their lives in the war and their families, and less thought of their profits.
