WW2 B24 Bomber Wreck
Loading...
Uploaded by cowsk on May 2, 2007
Flown by Lt Henry Etheridge of the 307th bombardment group, this B24 was shot down in 1945 by a Japanese fighter. After receiving damnage to one engine, and with higer engine power required from the remaing engines there was insufficient fuel to return to base. They were forced to ditch instead of bailing out as the area was heavily wooded, but all crewman exited the plane without serious injury within one minute of impact. The crew were all picked up within one hour, even before the plane sank. This wreck lies down at 21 meters in a mangrove area of the Togean Islands, central Sulawesi in Indonesia.

with the sealife on it it would be to heavy to raise and if you did rasi it up it would most likley break apart on the surface.
