  All of these deep sea treasures SHOULD belong to the finder. Has the US government been actively searching?
  Also, have these foreign governments been for the remains of such vessels as the ATOCHA, but quickly claim it is theirs.

  They launched from Cape Canaveral. I assume the enignes seperate somewhere of our coast? But, the article says they're in 14,000'. Where off our coast would you find water that deep?

  Doesn't sound like he is arguing about handing them over since he has made a request that one be donated to Seattle.

  Maybe if we tell people that the brain is an App, they will start using it.

  It'd be awesome if he donated them, or if he gave the US first dibs on buying them, but when someone salvages something from the ocean, it should be theirs.
  
  I don't really agree with exclusive salvage rights though....like if a sunk treasure ship is found, no one should have exclusive rights to it. If someone else goes out there, they should be allowed to salvage too. Once items are brought up off the bottom, then that person owns it.
