A town in Turkey sunk a 177-foot airplane in the Aegean Sea on Saturday in hopes of reviving tourism in the area. The Airbus A300 cost $93,000, weighs 47 tons and will become an artificial reef. Local authorities hope to boost underwater diving in the region. The number of foreign visitors declined by almost 30 percent in April amid security concerns and strained ties with Russia. It's a worrying trend for the country's economy, which heavily relies on tourism.
