Sinking of our WW2 Hell DIver replica"

[dhart1977]

Where did you get a "replica" from?

[keck1852]

My dad was a test pilot in WWII, if you wanted one for an underwater attraction he rode it to the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay when the catapult misfired, early 1944. They left it there. He was stationed at the Patuxent River Naval air station. Said it sunk in mud immediately and he only got out by luck. Stayed in until all his oxygen used up, then hoped the plane was right side up 'cause couldn't see because of the mud, pulled the ejection seat and blew the canopy. Luckily it WAS upright!

[LGTheOneFreeMan]

And why exactly are you ruining A PERFECTLY FUCKING GOOD REPLICA?! You're about as brilliant as the idiots who sink the ships for new reefs, which will subsequently be forgotten after about five years. At least let the girl have her dignity. Ships, aircraft, and others are like the Japanese. They either live out their years serving a purpose, or commit suicide.

[ThirdDegreeWitch]

what a stupid thing to do....

[P214Stearman]

I hope that is a rebuild helldiver

[temphoyos]

Nooooo!!!! What a waste to send that SB2C Helldiver to the bottom!!!

[InternationalDriver]

Seriously, come on! Why would anyone think this was a great idea to attract divers? How about parking the plane on the shore. That will attract attention. Also replica's such as this one help continue the history of the real aircraft. Case in point the Me-262 replicas that are being produced and flown privately.

[guitardavid79]

Think about what's gonna happen in about 50 years when somebody dives to this plane...their gonna think they've really found something.

All this does is screw up everything. Sooner or later authentic wrecks can't be found because of all the phony wrecks that people are gonna be stumbling over.

[lkarolngst]

@guitardavid79 lol it is sunk in a quarry for divers. Its been dove a ton and no one is confused. Dutch has lots of stuff down there for divers to swim around, otherwise we just be looking at rocks and zebra mussels.

[jeepers2655]

why build it just to sink it?.....even if it is a copy it was nice!

[amilcardario1976]

yeah so many other types of planes that they can to use instead a wwII replica or not ,,,

look prety cool i can put it in my yard

[ETM299]

its pritty stupid but there doing it to make a dive attraction

[h0troddude]

it's a replica as said in the description...

[jonadam1975]

what a bunch of fucking idiots. the plane is in good condition and its rare why in fuck would they do something so stupid?

[marinecorp993]

some of those nature nutcases do this to make homes for marine life. i think its stupid too.

[joncomp12]

REPLICA

[jcturner3]

It looks like a Dauntless SBD carrier-based dive bomber from WWII fame.

An absolute waste!...and I'm a diver!!!

[snakestomper]

@jcturner3 It's not a SBD,it's a SB2C Helldiver,some guy using a fishfinder found a real one in otay lakes last year

[Myles0Harcourt]

What an absolute fucking waste.

[airplaneaddict21]

that plane looks awesome why would you sink it!?!?!?!?!?

[freiherrudet]

It looks like a replica, but why sink it and not put it in front of the local school or at a park? It looked pretty cool.
