That's probably the problem right there. Imagine a fully loaded ship going down with the cargo shifting around, and the tanks ending up in a jumbled mess together with high explosives and other interesting items. Not an ideal place for a salvage operation, especially if it's inside a rusty ship. They do say that there are two more tanks to salvage though.
