I saw a video posted somewhere, might have been on here right after it was deep sixed.

Given a few years it should be a good fishing spot.

I saw the 1st video somewhere on the internet but not the underwater 2nd vidoe. That is cool.

Old news maybe but still pretty cool. Wonder how long it'll take before it gets that good rusty red color.
