Sinking SS United States: Ship will become world's largest artificial reef

Veterans Day of events, a lot of them happening right now, live and active, and when we have a lot of the live events that are going on at the same time, we like to try to bring them to you all at the same time. So check it out here. We set up this box that shows us on the left-hand side of your screen that she... Sinking ship. The SS United States. A lot of S's in these phrases here. The SS United States set to sink off the coast of Florida. That's set to happen in the next 15 minutes or so. On the top right hand side of your screen, that is a rally for Veterans Day coming to you from Washington, D.C. at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. And then on your bottom right hand side of your screen, that is the 107th New York City Veterans Day Parade. The audio you're about to listen to, that will be coming from the live stream of the sinking of the SS United States. Let's listen in. Of course, we'll bop around to some other live events, other important events as they happen. Okay, of course when I go to it and I tell you the audio is about to play, that's when these guys decided to take a break. So why don't I just explain to you momentarily what this is all about. The SS, I'm so tempted to say USS, but that is not correct in this case. The SS United States, it's a historic ship that was once the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic. And today it is no longer going to be above water. The ship scheduled to be sunk off of Florida's coast as part of plans to make it the world's largest artificial reef. And you heard it. And John, hi. How are you guys doing today? Doing great. Doing well. Awesome. So these two are scuba divers. And why did you recently get certified? I got certified in the spring and gave myself the gift of that for my birthday because I figured it was never too late to learn to challenge yourself and it was an experience I didn't have. Great and so you went through Emerald Coast Scuba, correct? And was it easy? It was not easy, but Emerald Coast Scuba was fantastic. Their staff, their dive masters, they were all about encouraging beginners and never made me feel like it was something over my head. So are you excited to dive the S.S. United States? Is that going to be a bucket list dive for you? Well, part of the reason why I'm here is because I started tracking the fact that this was happening. And so I'm excited to do it. I dived for the first time this summer in Dominican Republic. And so now I'm looking forward to what else I can do. Great. Thank you. And what do you love about diving? You've been diving a little longer. Well, I love the ocean and I wanted to make a career out of it. So I moved down here to work for Divers of the Light. And yeah, I'm excited to dive the U.S. United States and see what kind of new species it brings. That's great. Thanks guys.
