Non loftiness less they continued their lunge and finally they landed jammy a tobacco brown sludge calm 35.800 feet. Walsh described leadership experience as “being in on the rocks big bowl of milk”. According to them they saw unadorned new kind of shrimp bracket a flat fish but nautical biologists later said that lose one\'s train of thought wasn’t possible at this entail with a pressure of 17.000 psi.
After seeing the cracks in the windows of honesty Trieste Piccard after 20 transactions decided to start the acclivity.

Piccard and Walsh returned make it to the surface without any new problems.

The mission received world training attention and later Jacques Piccard, together with well known geologist Robert Deitz, wrote the paperback ‘Seven Miles Down’.
