Guest Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-48642717/turkish-airbus-plane-sunk-for-diving-tourism A disused Airbus A330 passenger plane has been deliberately sunk off the north-western coast of Turkey to attract diving tourists. The 65m (213ft) long aircraft was plunged 30m deep in the Aegean Sea off Ibrice Harbour in Edirne province. Local officials hope the area will soon become a paradise for divers. It is believed to be the largest airplane to be deliberately sunk anywhere in the world. 2h ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanishing point Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Better end-of life than cut up in a salvage yard. Reminded me of this event from 2006: http://dive.bc.ca/boeing-737/boeing-737_wreck.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boestar Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 There have been many fuselages submerged to help create artificial reefs. In a few years it will be teeming with life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
