Yesterday, Jim Ridgway and several local divers from Power Scuba visited a WWII relic: a P-38 Lightning that was ditched off the coast of San Diego during a routine training exercise in 1943 — the pilot survived and the pink anemone-covered plane has served as an artificial reef for fish and marine life every since.

See below for the video and more on the crash itself:
