So he went to China basically
NotABadLookingNarcissist
It’s downstream from Atlantis.
pwlfwb
He also found a Meg.
Ashokaaa
Kinda sad tbh that after all this time and advancements only 16 more meters where in. Shows how brutal it is down there.
Ashokaaa
But the better recording technology is still gold and new footage is very important.
Johnsky
Trash did it first.
OrcLuck
Trash didn't make the journey back, that's why trash won't be remembered.
UKallikat
No I didn't!
IAmHereForYou
I am sitting right here

Trash in the pacific? Let me find my surprised Pikachu face. It has been a problem for decades that very few people are attempting to fix.

What did he expect? Atlantis?
VashtheStampede47
Our legacy is secure now.
getadogupya
16m more than some guy 60 years ago?
GyprockGypsy
That cutting edge technology really gave him an advantage.

No. Water doesn’t compress like that. Not under that low of pressure. Theoretically, it would take many thousands atm or pressure.

1903 Kitty Hawk, NC to the moon in 1969. They've got 6 years to step up their game.
IamNotANihilist
Same.
TheGodEmperorOfChaos
He hit the bottom, unless he brought a shovel he ain't getting any deeper.
Ihatenumbersinusernames
There are deeper points in the trench. Deepest known point is 10994m. Trieste also hit the bottom.
ThanosTheGreat
Well who knows how much trash is down there covering the bottom...bottom might be another 500m down under the trash.
PositivelyFly
In another 40 years the next guy to try and break that record will probably have to dive into garbage to get as deep as the 1960’s record.
SpaceDriver7
?
SanityAsylum
Since 1960? All this scientific progress and the best we could do was 16 meters more since 1960?
Pokedmeinthecoconut
No logical reason to go there. Hence, no interest and no funding from the state.
MasterCylender
Mostly consisting of AoL start-up disks
nyrgr99
Big nope for me - jumping into the deep end of my swimming pool scares the bejeezus out of me...
WehWehWeh
Going that far down seems scarier than going to space for me.
mlemlemmloomloo
Yeah, this garbage needs to stop.
OneWildAndCrazyGuy
I thought James Cameron had the record?
TheDetonated
Is that the beast?
ChrisMcadam
I thought James Cameron did this like 7 or 8 years ago ?
HughWattmeight
When he raised the bar?

Fuck you
jones286
Watch your vector victor
b612
Surprised?
OddOod
Damn, I'm impressed that we finally got back down there. We legit haven't gone below 8km for 50 years
LoadedBakedPotatoes
Your math sucks.
OddOod
....k?
AlienProphet
James Cameron was just down there a couple years ago.
OddOod
Huh, TIL in 2012
painbrun
Due to rising sea level?
LenzKist74
My goodness, Grandma Betty has really manly hands!
UggItsThatKid24
Some where James Cameron plots his vengeance.
MasterCylender
Didn't he pay a woman to throw a fake diamond down there?
UggItsThatKid24
James Cameron does not do what James Cameron does for James Cameron..JAMES CAMERON DOES WHAT JAMES CAMERON DOES BECAUSE HE IS JAMES CAMERON

Refloat the Titanic? (it's an actual movie! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081400/)
macturlock
Folks, we're in trouble. This is frightening.
Rigierish
And the worst is that lot of people know that, complain about it, but do nothing for it and continue to consume still much products...
Pokedmeinthecoconut
A bit melodramatic isn't it?
abraxasfury
I mean, if we throw enough trash down there we'll eventually be able to reach the bottom
RenaissanceFaireMan
Do you know how deep the trench is?
KeepYourDickInAVice
Few KM?
abraxasfury
Do you know how much trash society produces?
minipancho94
since this is going to go to the blame china BS, remember recycling isnt a charity, its for profit. the whole mess is fucked beyond 1/2
minipancho94
most peoples understanding. the wrong "solutions" could fuck the economy and etc. also the bacteria that eats plastic is a threat. 2/3
minipancho94
as it could damage our infrastructure. plastic insulation gets eaten, and now you have brownouts, or plane crashes. shits truly a mess. 3/3
Pokedmeinthecoconut
Being a bit melodramatic arn't we? Plastic bacteria is going to eat us all! Run for the hills! Hide your wife, hide your kids!
minipancho94
not really, just seeing the bigger picture. ideally we'd preserve plastics usefulness while cleaning up this mess.
ifaponfirstdate
I don't know why they act surprised? it's a hole and trash sinks
avagadroavacado
I mean, we are always surprised when it comes to your mom! :/
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
Oh theres a hole, there's a hole, theres a hole at the bottom of the sea
StupidFreakingName
There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea. Oh there's a log, there's a log, there's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.
fedoraeuphoria
I always imagined the pressure would compress it to an unidentifiable state
skwint
Only gas really compresses all that much - a plastic bottle would be crushed, but the plastic would still be the same size, just "empty".
fedoraeuphoria
Makes sense. I’m just picturing the Byford Dolphin incident on a Doritos bag.
RecklessNinjaXuamon
The what now?
fedoraeuphoria
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin then jump to the diving bell accident
purgethefilthyheretics
James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because Cameron is Cameron!
Zumitraveller0
Neat
Kaplar
His name is James, James Cameron The bravest pioneer No budget too steep, no sea too deep Who's that? It's him, James Cameron
kenobijuan
You're a damn liar if you didnt stare at his junk.

Futureman is such a fun show
Myowngrampa

hisholybeardness
So, your mom's definitely there then.
Qualtagh
I thought most trash floated. But yeah some has to sink so some will end up there.
barnwolf
Ah, you're thinking of your mom, and yes fat does float.
StupidFreakingName
It shows how deep the problem goes.
StupidFreakingName
I'll show myself out.
