Just in time for the 50th Jubilee in 2010, this video tells the story of Mariana- the dive by Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh in 1960. Original film footage and audio interviews, one of the last of Jacques Piccard gave, the movie has a documentary touch.
Fascinating! what an achievement…
What about communication in this time and era? Will supersonic mobile pick up the signal?
Great video! James Cameron is planning to repeat such a dive and go to the bottom of the Marianas trench, nearly seven miles below the surface of the ocean.
