That it is. Looking at the URL it seems to be located near Kawajalein Island (in the Marshalls I believe). Too bad it's salt water. Still looks great though!

Yeah, it looks like a dump site. I've never seen so many fighters sitting on their noses!

Why couldn't WWII have been fought over fresh water!? :lol:

Here's the link to the video. This is a definite must-see for everyone. According to the author, these wrecks have never been seen before as they were in the restricted zone around the US military base at Kawajalein until just recently. Jonathan Bell's team is apparently the group hired to document the wrecks for the first time. Very cool stuff.

I was thinking about buying it but I'd rather not make myself sick like that.
