In 1993, Miami lowered a retired Boeing 727 called Spirit of Miami into the sea; a storm split it apart a year later, and coral, oysters, and fish moved in

The Spirit of Miami, a retired Boeing 727, now lies submerged beneath the waves, purposefully sunk to provide an ecological haven. The devastation caused by Tropical Storm Gordon split the aircraft, revealing the ocean's ferocity. Nevertheless, both pieces play host to thriving marine life, including corals and fish. Scientists actively research these underwater wrecks, focusing on their environmental contributions and insights for upcoming reef constructions.
