Incredible pictures show a huge airliner being pulled out to sea and sunk to become an artificial reef and diving attraction.

The Airbus A330 was taken from Antalya to Ibrice port in Turkey's northwestern Edirne province, and had to be transported using six trucks.

It was then pushed out to sea and towed a mile into the Gulf of Saros.

When the plane reached its final destination it was sunk to a depth of 30 metres (98 feet) in the hope it will revive diving tourism in the area.

And if you have anyone that needs a kidney, am O+, available any day, any time.
For those of you waiting to advice me, what gave you the assurance you won't die before me even with one kidney.
Life itself is a risk. What's the essence of having two good kidneys and living in poverty and you are thanking God for the gift of life. Which life Oga, shey the life wey u sef go soon die of depression. Na money ritual I can't do and I no fit carry gun but any other thing, I can do to get cash.
Who doesn't want to wake up and see millions in his bank account. Am tired of seeing 3k as my balance everyday.

How is this not bad for the environment, materials used for plane making are not environmentally friendly. This will trap lots of marine animals, killing them when they couldn't find the exit.

They will definitely find exit as all the windows and doors have been removed.

They sink ship too and coaches of train for this purpose.
