Navy did it 50 years ago in the “Trieste” spelling ?
wait - Cameron is inside that thing? Why?
Did he find the weighted bottle with the birth certificate rolled up inside?
All I can think of is the comments of the guys taking a piss off the bridge over the river, when one says “It is cold” and his friend says “Deep Too”!
Wow — that’s pretty dangerous. He’s getting pretty close to the point where the temperature of the Earth is millions of degrees! </sarc>
He is a cheat and an a hole, but you can not doubt his bravery. His money, his choice, our gain. Good for you James Cameron....
Hell he was just trying to go someplace that never heard Of Trayvon Martin
How low can the 1% sink?
-:) Good for him, on a totally pointless adventure. Probably, employed more people than DumBO’s stimuless.
Associated Press is CRAP.
Why do you people keep posting from the AP?
“He plans to spend about six hours down there”
Wow, much better than my idea of sending down a variety of video cameras (low light, infrared, etc) with live feed and leaving them there for years.
too bad he didn’t stay
Well he’s only about 4,000 miles short of the “deepest spot on earth”...
But he did go to the deepest spot in the ocean on earth...
“Wait a minute! That isn’t some weird geological feature. It sort of looks organic, like the tentacle of an octopus, but ten thousand times...larger...
PULL ME UP! PULL ME UP! UP! UP! UP! NOW! NOW! NOW!!!”
I saw a video once of a deep dive vessel that was sent down, developed a leak and filled with water.
I don’t think anyone was inside but when they tried to release the hatch on the deck of the recovery ship water pressure at something like over 6000psi shot out at a velocity that could literally cut steel.
I work with hydraulics and nominally the highest pressures I see on my heavy equipment is still much lower than the water pressure at those depths, really scary when you think about it, more hostile than deep space.
