An acquaintance was a very raw rating in the Irish navy (such that it is!) at the time, and they were sent out to pick up bits of people out of the sea off the Irish Coast for several days - no choice, no counselling afterwards, just suck it up and get on with it. A hell of a story, and I reckon the reason it has taken so long is that there is too much to hide on several sides. If you saw the coverage this gets in Indian papers currently, you would see just how big and important this still is. I don't want to sound naive and I'm sure money comes into it, and neither am I suggesting that people can get closure - but they really should get it finished off and put to bed ASAP for many people's sakes.
