underwater wrecks: cold or warm water better?
it seems to be an article of faith that "cold water preserves aircraft wrecks better," but is this actually true? Cold water of course holds more oxygen, which fosters increased corrosion.
So why is it thought that cold water is better for wrecks? Or is this just something that "seems right"--after all, we put food into refrigerators to preserve it--but has no actual basis in fact?
