There was a link somewhere here to another fourm that talked about it. Appearently it was blown in half for boats and the chemicals that were drained into the lake have turned it into paper... On top of that, the same chemicals makes the lake very foggy and nearly impossible to dive on.

after hearing that I'm not sure I'd even want to get in that water. What the heck was draining in there that caused that.

Probability of a B-17 in Lake Okeechobee - zero. There are however fighter types in there.
There is documented B-17 in Tiger Lake near Kissimmee which was allegedly dynamited for being a navigation hazard, years ago an attempt was made to recover it but the conditions were terrible, the suction of the mud, and from what is being said the gators are plentiful!
Strong rumor of a B-17 in Lake Arbuckle (on the border of Avon Park Air Force Range) which is protected.
B-26 in Lake Livingston, Avon Park/Sebring area. Conflicting reports on whether or not this one was salvaged. Just about all information indicates it's still there.
