the_engineer 1,415 Posted March 24, 2012 James cameron is diving to the deepest point in the ocean the mindanao trench, He will be the first person to dive alone. Don't know why but I have bad feeling about it. Surely a bit of a huge gamble with his life. http://www2.macleans...ve-for-mankind/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estuarian Float 97 Posted March 24, 2012 “Sunk like the Titanic” -working punchline. Wouldnt that be fitting if he died like the Titanic on the 100th anniversary of the sinking? ...celebrity sacrifice perhaps?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 600 Posted March 24, 2012 Too true. Cameron is biting off a chunk with this "stunt" - nice idea but I too fear a seat on a space shuttle flight would have been a safer ride! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 24, 2012 In his defense I'd like to add that this has been done before, quite some time ago, so it's at least possible he'll do it and live. From a technical point of view this voyage is much simpler, and cheaper, than one to the moon. From the story I understand that his advisor knows a thing or two about this business, so I'd say his odds of survival are better than even. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
