Very, very cool. And a nice piece - the archival footage of the plane was great.

As an aviation enthusiast with several aquaintances in "aviation archeology", I was very aware of this aircraft and I am thrilled that it has been found and explored!

I noticed the website and news segment gave NOTHING away as to it's location, not even depth. Would love to know more details of the dives.

I doubt that will happen any time soon. They were quoted as saying that they would like to respect the fact that it is a grave site and to protect the plane from scavengers (not that anyone would do anything like that ).
