New York City has developed a special way to get rid of broken-down, retired subway cars.

Interesting!!!

Don't they know that Africans, most especially the vulcalnizers, panel beaters, sprayers and spare-part Dealers in Nigeria, need these broken down subway cars?

Why throw away these black diamonds into the ocean?

Custom barges are loaded high with subway cars and carried out to the cold icy depths in the middle of the ocean.

They use construction equipment to push the subway cars over the edge, splashing into the water.


The cars go over the edge one by one.

It may seem like a wasteful act of reckless pollution, but there is a deeper purpose behind this odd method of disposal.

Over time, every surface will be covered in life, creating an artificial coral reef system.


Every metal pipe, edge, ridge, and corner provides surface area for coral ecosystem.

This is pollution. There are enough reefs without creating artificial ones.


If its Africa everyone would be sure that was pollution.


Don't believe every colored picture you see. The titanic has been under cold water for years and there are no colorful reefs.

Well, i wont say that's pollution.

It's artificial or man-made reef.

There are 100s of ship, vessel, tanks vehicles, containers, cranes, heavy equipments that were intentionally taken to the bottom of the ocean for this purpose.

Before sinking the ship, they remove every substance that can be harmful or pollute the ocean.




About not believing every coloured picture you see, you are right.

But have you seen 'Life in the deep'?(Documentary).

There are live documentaries capturing what it really look like deep down there.


There is also a documentary on this;

Inside British World War II Merchant ship that sank completely with Tanks, motorcycles, jeeps and trucks.

Has now turned to reef.

I stand corrected. Please let Nigeria go ahead and dump all the ships that are no longer usable into ocean.

In fact let the whole world do the same so we can save the world.

Lol @ removing harmful substance, this is pure fantasy. The metal component itself is a pollutant. @Origin first comment was very apt; you don't need to alter natural setting to create artificial reef, what for. There quite numbers of them.

The whole thing is a system, once you alter it somewhere, it creates upset somewhere else. They do know and have alternatives to get rid of these stuffs but they chose cheaper option.

This is terrifying to be honest because since they have started with this lame basis, they would continue. The generations next would sure have a lot contend with; from space shuttle junk to deep ocean metal scrap.

These are the people selling Recycling and Reuse to us.
