Concerning the recent crash one of the TV commentators said that it was

Any truth to this.

No - cold water is less dense than warm water.

That's why ice floats.

I guess that's why the plane is floating. 8)

This is really strange. You answered my post and my post hasn't even
appeared on my news service (Giga News)yet. I made the post 65 minutes
ago.

Can you tell me what time stamp in on my original post. Thanks

1648 today's date. There is a -0500 which would equal UTC time
difference.

Thanks
