James Cameron, Not Dead

[cornflake]

For those who didn't know, Cameron made a solo descent to the bottom of the Mariana Trench today - the deepest known part of the oceans' floor.

He successfully ascended to the surface tonight.

He's the third person to do it. The last time it was done was in 1960.

This is a webpage about the dive and ship, including lots of pics and information.

I don't generally have the best opinion of Cameron but a solo trip 36,000 ft below the surface? That takes guts.

Also, exploration and the advancement of science seem a good thing to do with insane amounts of back-end points and residuals, heh.

Yeah..he's done some amazing things in his lifetime. I did not know the last dive was in the 60's. That is quite the accomplishment.

This is a great website to show depth relations. He's gutsy, that's for sure.

I was following this on Twitter yesterday. It's fascinating! Can't wait to see pictures or video!

I heard he took 3-d cameras down with him. I hope the footage is good enough to end up on an I-Max screen. That would be amazing.

I'm having a panic attack thinking about it, lol! Wow!

Sure would be nice if his ego were dead.
