Man discovers plastic in the deepest dive ever made in the Mariana Trench!

Yes, you read that right! In the deepest dive ever made by a man in a submarine in the Mariana Trench, a retired naval officer and explorer Victor Vescovo from Texas found a plastic bag and a few candy wrappers sitting quietly at the bottom of the sea. This unsettling news came as a shock as the Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean has the deepest natural trench in the world.

What is Mariana Trench?
Mariana Trench, which is considered the deepest place on the Earth, is 10994 m (36,070 ft) deep, and Challenger Deep is the deepest point of the trench. Vescovo is the third men, who attempted a dive into the Challenger Deep. Before him, Jacques Piccard, a Swiss engineer (in 1960) and Don Walsh, a lieutenant with the US Navy had attempted the dive in the Challenger Deep.

Then much later, in the year 2012, the famous Hollywood director James Cameron of Titanic and Avatar fame, who is also a deep-sea explorer, dived deep till 10908 m in the trench. However, Vescova broke all the records by going 16 m deeper.
Vescovo, along with his team, has been diving deep into the sea over the last few weeks in their submarine to gather rocks and underwater samples. They were doing so to understand the ecosystem of the deepest place on the Earth.

But this discovery has only alarmed the world!
