You're right Alicia, I failed to consider that. I'm not arguing that the bow drifted under the ocean before coming to rest, but i feel the bow's descent is not as straight down as the stern because the bow actually plowed into an embankment once it settled, signifying that it must have deviated somewhat from a straight-down course. When the bow hit the bottom, the forecastle was bent downward, not upward, like what would of happened if it hit a sloped bottom straight down. If the bow really went straight down, it would have been of equal distance from the debris field from the stern, but in real life it's not.
