  • i wish someone will take that plane up piece by piece and put it back to gether for a museum or for people to take rides in only 5 are left in the world

  • Beautiful video and music choice. I am on Corsica now and can't wait to do this dive. Can you tell me what camera and lights you used to film this ???? It looks HD. Thanks

  • Hi @thelifedivine thanks for comment ... it was made few years ago, with SONY HC 14, very simple 1 chip camera and 35 W HID light from BENDA (czech UW light producer), its not HD :-), the new ones video connected to this one, is HD. There is some difference :-) Enjoy the dive, would be beatiful :-) !!!

  • did the crew survive?? can you imagin some people were sittinf in those chairs

  • thanks for sking, yes, the whole crew survived, they landed on the sea surface and safely reached the shore (its close) ... and yes, im always imagine the feelings of pilots when they hit the shots from messerchmits ... its like an nature museum :-)

  • @Catamarane lol someone's using a translator

  • did the crew survive??

  • very cool vid, thanks for sharing it.

  • @cott10r Thank You for comment Cott10r ! :-)

  • Did the B-17 aircraft take off from Calvi airport, or did it take off from Bastia or Ajaccio and just crashed at Calvi?

  • B-17 take off from south of italy, been hit near calvi, but calvi had small/short airport for such big plane, so they decided to land near calvi on the sea surface.

  • @Catamarane ok thanks

  • Beautiful video, very haunting,and the shots you have are very thought provoking about the crew who flew this fine lady, and the events that brought her to this final silent resting place after she completed her duty, great video A+++++

  • THANK YOU ! This one of my first clips and still one of my favourites ... have been there maybe 5 times and every time feel the unique atmosphere... You should try it , if you havent been there, its worth to see and feel it ! :-)

  • Hi and thank You for Your kind words ... look, Im sorry but dont remember where I found the music ... its maybe some part of "The Village" soundtrack or "Forest Gump" , not for sure ... Petr

  • B 17 WOW THAT COOL 5 STAR,S

  • Thank You S :-) Petr

  • Well done Petr.

    The shot at 1:06 is really thought-provoking. I imagined all the workers at Boeing putting it all together. Now it's completely silent, some 64 years later.

  • Good video, good music. Very nostalgic.

  • Thank You very much :-) Petr

  • great cip, engines was also turning when ditching.

  • Really nice footage and excellent edit. These planes are fascinating aren't they? Just for interest we have a B17 film from Island Vis Croatia loading up tonight so have a look...Its more intact but deeper so has a different feel to it. Have a look and keep up the good work! Coolbluefilms.

  • ya he buceado ahi!!madre mia, ya he perdido hasta la cuenta de las veces que me habre sumergido para ir a ver esta maravilla. es un bombardero b-17 de la segunda guerra mundial, que llegando a italia lo tocaron y acabo undiendose delante de la ciudadela de calvi (haute-corse). lo se porque he vivido unos cuantos años alli. dios... no es precioso? lo adoro!!

    adoro esta isla!!

    very good work catamarane, i love your video!!

  • Amazing, I dived the wreck with my girlfriend last week. This video brings up some good memories... Did you also see the ale that lives in one of the engines?

  • Hi, thanks for reaction. I have saw a lot of fishes, barracudas and groupers near or inside the wreck.Its really full of life. We are visiting a lot of wrecks around the corsica incl.Alcione C, P 47, He 111, Canadair, Vickers and others, but have to say that this wreck is one of the best ... see you on board of Valhalla in future :-) ?

  • Quite amazing!

  • Well done!

  • AMAZING VIDEO!!!

    Your music and recording skills work perfectly together. You're and inspiration to diving.

    Adrian.

  • Hi Adrian, thank You for Your kind words. Will add some better movies from dives in Norway. You will see and looking forward to see Your next comments.Did You also made some movies ? Ciao Petr
