In this photo provided by Atlantic Productions for Discovery Channel, Victor Vescovo emerges from his submersible 'Limiting Factor' after a successful dive to the deepest known point in the Mariana Trench, April 28, 2019. NEW YORK -- Taking the hours-long journey to what is believed to be the deepest point mankind has visited in any ocean was a complicated one, and for Victor Vescovo, it meant being constantly on the alert as he monitored his state-of-the-art vessel.
Last month's groundbreaking mission was filmed as part of an upcoming Discovery Channel documentary series that will chronicle Vescovo's trips to the furthest parts of the world's waters -- the Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. He has done all except the Arctic plunge, which is set for the fall.
For his journey, Vescovo travelled in a vessel called the SDV Limiting Factor, a titanium craft that is billed as the "ultimate submersible" and the only one able to travel to such depths. It was outfitted with high definition cameras that documented everything, including creatures unknown to man. The discovery of plastic in such far reaches proves the need for more vigilance to protect the oceans, said Andy Sharpless, CEO of Oceana, which describes itself as the largest worldwide group in the world with the goal of saving the oceans.

Media reports of a plastic bag and candy wrappers lying on the world's deepest ocean floor may not be trueThe team stated that they plan to test the same in the creatures collected during their expedition into the deep-sea trench, to see if they contain any plastic components Spout the appropriate buzzwords and so called 'journalists' will publish just about any crap they can find It wasn't just US media either Canadian media happily repeated it because it fits the manufactured narrative Very suspicious. I doubt if it was true.
