They apparently found that the Titanic sunk in three pieces and not two as previously thought.

Ohoh, do I smell a movie remake?

I thought this quote was pretty funny:

Explorer Robert Ballard found the bulk of the wreck in 1985, at a depth of 13,000 feet and about 380 miles southeast of Newfoundland. Ballard was not impressed with the expedition’s find.
“They found a fragment, big deal,” he said. “Am I surprised? No. When you go down there, there’s stuff all over the place. It hit an iceberg and it sank. Get over it.”

Hmm, a little sour grapes that he didn't find it first?
