This footage shows the moment searchers locate a hospital ship sunk in the Black Sea by Nazi bombers during World War II that sank in minutes with the loss of between 6,000 and 10,000 lives.

The sunken ship, the Armenia, was packed with the sick, medical staff, and women and children who were being evacuated, and sank almost immediately after it was hit. The wreck has now been found after a 20-year-search on the sea bottom, 27 kilometres (16.7 miles) off Yalta Port in the city of the same name in the disputed Crimean Peninsula.
