The October 15th 6.7 earthquake on the Big Island caused this WWII wreck to split in two on the ocean floor on Maui.

Goodlord, I'm sure quite a few fish will hole up inside of the newly opened cavities!
 
Hmmmm. I'm not so sure it was an eathquake that wrecked the wreck. If you look closely, you'll notice a large, suspicious looking turtle in the vicinity of the damage. Right after that, the tank is ruined and the turtle is nowhere to be found.
Don't feel too bad though... out here they eat the reefs.
