I along with mostly the majority of us, Friends, am a really ardent Fan of Mr. James Cameron Movies:Keeping aside the two Masterpieces(Titanic and AVATAR);The Abyss,Terminator series(I,II & III),True Lies,Aliens ...

Let us Salute him for his solo descent(inside the Deepsea Challenger Submersible Vehicle also referred as Vertical Torpedo /Rocket) into the "GREAT UNKNOWN" of which some part will be known to us after a few days.

3 cheers!!! Mr.James Cameron,you made it.
Thank GOD he is fully safe.
According to all leading newspapers,Mr. Cameron dived into the Challenger Deep,yesterday on Monday 26th March 2012,in his Deepsea Challenger Submersible vehicle(Vertical Torpedo).
According to news sources,he spend more than 3 hrs.at that region,taking photos and videos in HD through advanced automatic systems.Perhaps he might have collected some samples(by the robotic arm and other instruments),etc. as according to the project.More news will be revealed later...

According to Mr. Cameron ,from "The Telegraph"---:>

"I just sat there looking out the window,looking at this barren,desolate lunar plain,appreciating."

The last frontier on Earth is out of this world,desolate,foreboding and moon-like,Mr.Cameron said.

A rare feat indeed by a Man of his age.
