    they just found two cars in an Oklahoma lake and both had bodies in them. they are suspecting one is from missing man from early 60's and other one three teens from 1970. 50 and 40 years ago!

    sonar and other electronic scanners are so advanced now on boats. all the best bass boats have these structure scan units that look out well beyond the boat and pick up details on the bottom like bridges, boats, and cars. As these graphs have just become really advanced and popular last 5 years I have heard so many reports of fisherman finding cars under the water.

    Amazing story, I've been listening to it all day. Nice for those families to finally have closure.

    I read about that today. First thought was a draw down exposed the cars, but it was a sonar training session. Amazing.

    Would love to see a bird's eye view of the lake and road right there. My guess is old cars-inexperienced driver-darkness-sharp curve. Times two.

    so they just said cars were found together 50 feet from marina, so here is the close up. my suspicion both cars drove down boat ramp by accident drowning occupants. cars could have ended up in front of marina because the bottom will slope downwards out and to the middle of the cove.
