A long lost airplane that crashed
during WWII is lastly discovered almost without a glitch preserved on the
riverbed of a remote Pacific island. Holiday tourists visiting the Micronesian
archipelago of Palau discovered an unusually rare sight, recently - after
stumbling across a doomed WW2 plane. They are expecting to witness numerous
unexpected wonders when they explore the world. It is believed the craft is a
Japanese Aichi E13A long range reconnaissance seaplane - was found in a shallow
river on the archipelago of Palau, which boasts 500 attractive islands.
A remarkable image which surfaced on Imgur,
shows the plane largely intact with the wings still attached to the fuselage. Hence
weirdly positioned upside-down, it's not clear which country the military craft
belonged to, but the undisturbed site has now become something of a makeshift
grave. It clearly, exerts a charm with holidaymakers, two of whom can be seen
canoeing past the plane's rusted body. Unsurprisingly, the image has stunned
people across the internet, with one saying, “Looks like a movie set or the
beginning or end of a novel.”
If was the pilot that died with
that plane I would be happy with my final resting spot so beautiful and serene.
A third chimed-in, it's the juxtaposition between the wreck and the person
kayaking carefree right next to it. It seems disrespectful given that someone could
have died in that wreck. It's an A13 floatplane. It is inverted and has lost its
floats. This is a rare beast, an increasingly popular location; Palau is
described by Lonely Planet as scenically enchanted. For such a tiny area of
land, it packs a big punch.
It's hard not to be overwhelmed by its amazing
array of natural wonders: this is an archipelago of pristine limestone and
volcanic islands, blanketed in emerald forest, surrounded by a shimmering
turquoise lagoon. Obviously, diving is the number-one activity here, with truly
world-class dive sites. Divers swear by Palau's thrilling seascape, fascinating
wrecks and strikingly diverse marine life it's not dubbed 'the underwater
Serengeti for nothing.
