This is plane has just crashed???

@@helwatywahab5236 No, they purposefully submerged it, to create an artificial reef

@@harsha63663 I was in Aqaba on October 1,2021. Never seen any information on this, I took the night ferry from Neweiba Egypt to Aqaba. The logistics of getting 1 ticket was a nightmare, ferry was completely sold-out each day.

I agree.......it's an amazing vid.

@@helwatywahab5236 Yes everyone on board unfortunately died.

I will, dad.

@@1000CalorieSnackPack did he buy milk

@@plau04fluids9 Yes. And soup.

ok so this chat is now a family conversation?! 😳

😅

I took a night ferry from Neweiba Egypt to Aqaba Jordan on October 1, 2021. Never heard of it during my 8 months research. At the Aqaba port in early morning no signs of such thing. The Red Sea is so beautiful. Many divers go to Dahab ,Hurgada Egypt . They dive at night in Dahab

L-1011 was one of the most comfortable rides I'd ever been on. Solid, stable aircraft, just a little too expensive to fly.

Bring me along fella! I’m learning haha

@@larsstolz shut up

@@larsstolz I know only one person who says stuff like this, maybe you know them too?

yeah, nothing better than dumping another couple tons of plastics into the sea...

@@matacabrones4317 Usually, the interior gets ripped out.

@@Cartoonman154 but not this time

@@matacabrones4317 plastic?? my guy this aint plastic lmao

@@ziepex7009 Dude, LMFAO! Its not just a metal airframe you see sitting there you nitwit. The interior has NOT been FULLY gutted here. @4:00 the lavatory wall-liners, @2:30 seats and cushions are fire retardant foam and nylon, @2:50 the over head liners is fire-retardant plastic, hell the video projector is even still there and it has plastic in it, with its chemical circuit boards, and transistors, plastic coated wires, etc. The cockpit and its instrument panel is still intact. with radios switches and seats. Those haven't been removed. Those gyro instruments have oil in them for lubrication of their spinning gyros. the plastic coted wiring would obviously still be there, the plastic tubing for the vacuum system would all still be behind that "intact" instrument panel. Most of that stuff you see in this video are Airplane interior panels and luggage compartments and cabin wall lining made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, or ABS plastic. This plastic has a fire retardant impregnated in it, and is highly suitable for vacuum forming, so it can be manipulated into a wide variety of shapes. There is everything from vinyl, foams, nylon, rubber and epoxies still in that interior you see here. @Matacabrones wasn't talking about the WHOLE airplane. He said a couple of tons. Well, a couple of tons is only 4000lbs and there is EASILY 4000lbs or more worth of environmentally-nasty stuff still left in that interior.

This is a weird looking ship

Wow, you made me think how amazing would have been seeing it in those conditions

Those lionfish are as deadly as a cobra.

@@ianwalton284I don’t know where you got that info from but they are no where near as deadly as a cobra and most stings will most likely be more unpleasant than deadly.

Fortunately, the wreck is safe from thieves like you if you want to dive there with oxygen ;). The plane rests at about 30 meters, so the oxygen would kill you before you reached that depth.

Fantastic airline and plane!

I photographed this aircraft still in service at Glasgow Airport in 2008. The last time I saw an active Tristar.

Dude it's an L1011 Tristar, it's not like there are any flying to benefit from those spare parts.

Secondhand radios are valuable, and intact engine cores are refurbished and used by the petrochemicals industry. Nearly an entire channel with ~600 videos is dedicated to refurbishing engines: kzfaq.info

I agree, they should have removed the engines and related parts. The cockpit however is most likely meant to be left intact, most of these instruments (Apart from the radio) would be only useful for collectors and there are plenty on the market.

Jordan is rich? Their dinars cost more than Euro and dollars 💸

It;s almost entirely aluminum alloy. As scrap a large airliner is only worth about $60k The relatively low bypass engines (compared to today's engines), make them poor choices for reuse. And most of the instruments that could be reused are probably close to end of life.

Agree. Which one is your nr 1?

Its for a good cause. This l-1011 is probably being used as an artificial reef. NYC did this with their R32 Redbird Fleet in 2005.

wym?

@@shantanu925 r/whooosh

In general, yes. They are quite similar to each other. L-1011 is a bit smaller.

yes, it was.

CS-TMP Originally built in 1985 and was delivered to Royal Jordanian. It went through about 10 operators until its last in 2008 with Luzair when it was retired. It was then stored in Aqaba, Jordan where it sat until 2019 when it was then sunken into the Red Sea at King Abdullah Reef in August 2019.

On purpose

Well, Jordan has c.a. 10 miles coastline so, comparing to Egypt is nothing. In order to attract scuba divers the aircraft was purchased, cleaned (all hazardous materials have been removed) an sunk as an artificial reef. I heard, but I am not 100% sure, that it was an idea of Jordan king's son who is a divemaster. BTW there is another plane sunk nearby (C-130) as well as some military equipment - the underwater military museum.

~30 meters as far as I remember

@@V8VORLICH oh

I think it was sank as an artificial reef. I hate when channels don't answer replies to their uploads!

@@sarge6870 yeah but still, why remove only some seats instead of taking them all or leaving them all?

@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor Because when after it was sunk as a artificial reef, it was known that divers would dive the wreck! The middle seats and what was considered anything dangerous was removed for that reason. Divers can safely go through the middle of the plane with no seat to get in their way.

@@sarge6870 ohh now I see, thanks

Take it as an opportunity.

Diving area An old civilian plane has been unloaded from harmful substances A transport plane for soldiers, a military plane, a ship, boats and yachts were drowned Tanks, tankers, artillery and rocket launchers were drowned in dozens All are emptied, the goal is to help the fish settle again and grow the reef and then bring in tourists

sunk as a coral reef.

They certainly are. One reason to not just jump into those seats.

Volitan Lion.

It's usually done to help create an artificial reef. They usually rip the interior out.

It didn't crash, it was a planned, lowering of the aircraft

@@michelletaylor5691 Nice! I should have figured; any Tristar crash would probably be encrusted by now. I don't think there are many airworthy ones left.

They put it down there as part of an underwater museum

@@duongallen4094 That's watter polution

@@duongallen4094 why in the world will some one throw a plane into a underwater museum it makes no sense it pollutes the water its also near a reef as well

It is not. All dangerous parts, liquids etc. have been removed.

@@testonu285 what it doesn't pollute it the dangerous parts have been removed plus its sunk as an artificial reef for the fish

It's still wreck diving. It doesn't mater if the object sunk by accident or was submerged intentionally.

It was for diver, so basically they put the plane underwater

Lack of buoyancy.
