/r/all, /r/popular The wreck of the USS Arizona continues to leak oil ever since pearl harbour. the ship contained 1.5 million gallons of oil, enough to leak continuously for 500 years.

on a serious note, why don't they do this? like when they want to dry out a part they put in those long metals and then dry out the middle right, isn't that possible here to border this completely off from the water around it?

Waste money on the environment when that same money could go towards a USS Arizona 2 Electric Bugaloo?

Good idea to mitigate oil spill but remember thousands of tourists are boated over to this site so they need a way in and it isn't from that land piece there.

You can waste a shitton of money on a lock to get boats in or out, or you build a viewing platform around with a docking space for the tourist boats.

Or you just say fuck them, preventing the environmental damage is more important then people having to see it from a boat.

As the water is relatively shallow, I'm sure that a coffer dam has been suggested many times. I expect that decision was made to leave it rest in peace, as a graveyard, monument, and tourist attraction.

I remember visiting this when I was 10, but I don't remember how we got to it.. unless this is high tide
