Yeah....it's the bottom of the ocean. What'd you expect a 7-11 down there?

When the Trieste went down in 1960, there was a loud bang way down on the descent and one of the windows cracked severely. Luckily, it was the exterior plexiglass and not part of the pressure vessel.

Here's a pretty cool picture that puts the depth of the Mariana Trench in perspective. Put in spoiler tags because it's enormous:

That's way cool. The depth of the deepwater well is amazing. I had no idea.

Next someone should outdo Joseph Kittinger's 102,000 ft sky dive.

On August 16, 1960, he made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m).[2] Towing a small drogue parachute for initial stabilization, he fell for four minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 miles per hour (988 km/h)[3][4] before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal size.[5][6] He set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (four minutes), and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere.[

Didn't he already direct this movie? The Abyss

Good flick.

Avatar was like a top 5 all time cinema experience for me. Good for you, Cam.

How is it physically possible for anything man-made not to be crushed at that depth? Does not compute.
