As of 5:52 p.m. ET Sunday (7:52 a.m. Monday, local time), James Cameron has arrived at the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep, members of the National Geographic expedition have confirmed.
His depth on arrival: 35,756 feet (10,898 meters)—a figure unattainable anywhere else in the ocean.
Reaching bottom, the National Geographic explorer and filmmaker typed out welcome words for the cheering support crew waiting at the surface: "All systems OK."

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

i kind of want this to end in failure like all the other attempts we've made as a species to be able to go down there. just because i can't stand him. but at the same time i really hope it doesn't because we need to learn how to make that area of the planet accessible to study.

He went into the Earth's core?
I guess making it to the deepest point of the Earth's surface is pretty impressive.

the next great frontier to exploit the ocean floor.
when men are done raping the land for resources we will turn to the sea.
we already have for oil and natural gas.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

Nah. Â American's will just stage a false flag event, blame it on some poor country with lots of resources and then convince your dumb population that the poor third world country is an iminent threat to their lives, then invade and steal their resources.
