Video: Slavný parník šel ke dnu. Stane se z něho největší umělý útes světa

The SS United States was sunk in the Gulf of Mexico after a year of preparation, with live broadcasts capturing the event. Environmental hazards were removed before strategically cutting openings in the ship to promote marine life. The ship, once the fastest ocean liner, will become the largest artificial reef, resting nearly 55 meters deep off Destin, Florida. It had been saved from scrapping by local authorities after being decommissioned in 1969. The ship will join over 500 underwater sites, creating a diving paradise.
