A 60-year-old farmer in China has built his own ‘Big Black Fish’ — a homemade submarine that can accommodate two people, dive eight metres and stay underwater for 30 minutes at a time. Zhang recently launched his five-ton sub into the river near his rural home, state broadcaster CCTV reported. — AFP
