Default Why Should NASA Have It Both Ways?

If the forward fuselage was stripped from the 51-L crew
cabin at water impact as NASA claims, why wasn't the
crew found immediately via "X marks the spot?" Flares
could have been used to locate the crew quickly, in only
90 feet of water near the Hetzel Shoals buoy.

As it was, it took well over a month to officially locate the
crew module. The very large pieces of structure from the
forward fuselage had been quickly located on the surface
above a "large object" (allegedly not the crew module).

So what were the coordinates of the recovered pieces from
the forward fuselage, relative to those of the crew module?
How soon were pieces of cabin shell spotted and flagged?

Why wouldn't honest investigators into the deaths of the crew
get this sort of data in front of the public rather quickly, along
with float time/direction due to wind and waves?

Why should NASA continue to go unquestioned about this?
Why should NASA still have it both ways, in the face of my
evidence and the word of the rescue pilot who supports me.

There was no X floating on the ocean?

I did not post the coordinates on purpose. I gave an approximate location
+- 1,000 feet or so.

The day of the accident.

Your failure to fully address these basic questions before publishing a book
covering this issue is a more interesting question IMO.

What do you hope to derive from this info.....the coordinates of
various pieces or the float time and direction? Is this in order to
determine when the crew died?
