There's a massive World War II bomber at the bottom of a lake in Nevada

The American southwest is in the midst a catastrophic drought.

It's so bad, in fact, that it's caused Lake Mead-a massive oasis in the middle of Majove Desert, formed by the Hoover Dam - to recede to the lowest levels ever seen. As of June, water levels were 154-feet below normal.

For the adventurous few, the lower water level is a chance to get closer to history than ever before - up close and personal with a B-29 bomber that has sat on the lake bed for over 70 years.
