1st of all I certainly question anything that CNN touched.

Here’s another article about it. I can’t guarantee the credibility of either, though.

Perhaps 21st century shipwreck treasures will consist of cryptocurrency instead of pieces of eight

Wouldn't surprise me if all that was removed by elite military units within a day or two after the tragedy. Question is, elite military units from what country...?

So does this mean that we aren't going to have a Geraldo Rivera version of the safe opening?

It might mean that we definitely will have a Geraldo Rivera version of the safe opening! The first hour and 45 minutes will be the divers making their way to the safe, carefully navigating past the helipad, around the brunch table and past six of the full bathrooms. Occasionally a shark will swim by or an eel will poke its head out of a cubby hole. Then they will enter the safe room, remove the framed picture on the wall hiding the safe...and the viewers will see a hole in the wall where it used to be.

The CIA. You don't know. You don't want to know...

"Prosecutors think"
"May contain sensitive data"

Maybe prosecutors ought to be paying for security then?

I never considered hiding valuables on any boat of mine.
Why is that?

You don't have a boat?

You're a pirate, and therefore required to bury your valuables?

If there was any real sensitive data on that vessel we would not being hearing this story at all? The story is just shameless journalistic sensationalism of a tragedy.

Position of valuable vs why. Why put it in a compromised and vulnerable position.

I don't need my security secured items aboard a cruise.
If that valuable they'd be safer on me than in a safe.
And if I get carried off or go overboard?

Are bank safety deposit boxes safe?
I'd rather bury.

Had a call from jail one night. The police had seen that a vessels operator was stopped from being in control of it.
Would I retrieve the associate's boat and the gal with it?
(Hours later inland she was still wearing a life preserver. Oh boy!)

Same boat , different event , a passenger woke in the wee hours to someone exiting the craft.
Someone not supposed to be aboard.
Ya. Guess if valuable was or was not the target?
No no safe. But a glass boat over small wood. Prying a safe loose doable. And two stout men could trot with one.
Go ahead! Potential sinking is enough reason for me to vote no. Let alone being robbed prior.
