#34fan Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yah, that's WAY too scary. At that depth, what's the likelihood of getting a rescue if stuff goes wrong? -It's freezing, there's no sunlight, and the pressure exerts enough force to crush you like a soda can. Hats off to guys like Richard Branson and James Cameron. They're both really good at pushing things to the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yah, that's WAY too scary. At that depth, what's the likelihood of getting a rescue if stuff goes wrong? -It's freezing, there's no sunlight, and the pressure exerts enough force to crush you like a soda can. Zero chance. And it's not "freezing", it's 37 degrees Fahrenheit. Though if the submersible gets crushed, he'd be incinerated anyway. But it's not like it hasn't been done before, either. You basically just sink to the bottom, sit there and watch, then release your ballast and float back up. Hats off to guys like Richard Branson and James Cameron. They're both really good at pushing things to the limit. Don't know much about Branson, but Cameron's a pretty impressive guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I prefer to call him as "The Abyss" director James Cameron. "Titanic" Director James Cameron is like saying "Rocky Horror Picture Show" actor Barry Bostwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex wife worked for Branson -- he's quite a character. Nearly killed himself trying to become the first to circumnavigate the globe in a balloon. Steve Fossett eventually beat him to it.

Delete This Account Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 my fear is cameron's ego bursting under pressure, thus causing an enormous environmental hazard. only hope is he took all available versions of avatar down with him. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
