An urban explorer from Chicago discovered an abandoned bunker and found something incredible inside.
The explorer, who uses the handle Urbexashton on YouTube, is used to unearthing weird and unusual objects while out exploring. But even he was left shocked by what he saw.
In the clip, which you can see above, after pulling back the door, he found what appeared to be the long-forgotten remains of an old Seawind 3000 – a kit-built amphibious plane, which launched back in the 1980s.
How it ended up there is anyone’s guess, but it’s a phenomenal find.
