More than 2-million tires were dumped off Florida coasts in the early-1970's thinking the tires may encourage coral reef growth.
Turns out- the tires were killing off the reefs and continue to do so. The military is slowly pulling the tires out of the water - "1,600" of the 2-million so far.
One HAS to wonder what the entire COST of this fiasco is. Your tax dollars at waste.
