CNN.COM is reporting that researchers have discovered evidence in the form of a fragment on the sea floor that indicates the Titanic sank with greater rapidity than previously believed. Details of the find will be revealed in a History Channel documentary airing Feb 26.
As interesting as this seems to be for those involved, it would appear that not everyone shares their enthusiasm.
Among the unimpressed is one Robert Ballard. You may know him as the man who actually discovered the wreck of the "unsinkable" ship back in 1985. "They found a fragment, big deal," Ballard said. "Am I surprised? No. When you go down there, there's stuff all over the place. It hit an iceberg and it sank. Get over it."
If you follow the rich history of the Titanic you will be interested to note that the exact location of the fragment is of some import, as it seems to have been shoved up Mr. Ballard's Ass.
If you suspect I embelished Mr. Ballard's remarks (I'm talking to you Mr. Levin), feel free to peruse this link at your convenience http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/12/05/titanic.find.ap/index.html

Sounds like Mr. Ballard feels like this discovery takes from his significance.
