Bahrain has intentionally sunk a Boeing 747 of its coast. The aircraft is expected to become a tourist attraction, with visitors able to dive to the seabed and explore the wreck. The aircraft is part of the first stage of building what its owners have described as an “underwater theme park”.
The aircraft’s submersion is accepted as the part one of the project, and it accompanied by a “pearl merchant’s house”. Stage two is suppossed to include ships, sculptures, and reef balls added to the area.
