Default Tanks Don't Float
Don’t worry…this isn’t an amphibious exercise gone FUBAR. It’s actually an effort by officials in Thailand to recycle old tanks and military vehicles by sinking them into the Gulf of Thailand to become artificial reefs. The Thai government hopes that the old war machines will the serve as artificial reefs for coral to help rehabilitate the marine ecology of the region.

It has been proven to be a great idea. the New York City Transit Authority did the same thing with more than One Thousand Subway Cars off the Atlantic coast.

No biggie. Everyone else seems to do it and the reefs seem to thrive.
