I can totally imagine wanting to reach it that badly -- what else could you do, turn back that close to the bottom? That said, they didn't actually know that a window had broken until they were already there[0]: > After almost five hours inside their tiny 6ft 4in cabin, the duo touched down on the sea floor at 36,000ft. [...] They spent 20 minutes there identifying the source of the explosive sound – a cracked acrylic window towards the back of the sub's entrance tunnel caused by the immense pressure of the water surrounding them. Due to their extreme conditions, they wouldn’t be able to fix it until they had made the long journey back to land through the silent abyss. They did still continue despite the sound and vibration, of course. [0]: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/true-story-behind... |
