During filing for US Marshals in 1997, a Boeing 727 containing actor Wesley Snipes "crashed" outside Bay, City, Illinois and rolled into the Ohio River. Despite lawman Tommy Lee Jones' best efforts, Sinpes' character got away, and the production team headed back to New York City. The broken plane was pulled out of the river and hauled 33 miles to Mermet Springs, where it now lies with its noes cone under 50 feet of hazel-green water.
Scuba diving through the fuselage is a surreal swim. The combination of charred cockpit controls, missing wings and open hatches throughout is a one of a kind experiences. It truly is First Class Diving!
