Only 3 people in the history of the Earth have been to the deepest ocean spot

Don Walsh
Jacques Piccard
James Cameron
Depth is around 7 miles in the Mariana Trench. Mt. Everest could be flipped upside down and it wouldn't touch bottom.
Only Walsh and Cameron are still alive. 2 individuals out of 7 billion people on Earth.

How deep the ocean bottom is is relative!

Early on the morning of 23 January, Walsh and Piccard climbed down the ladder in the Trieste’s entrance tunnel and entered the cramped cabin. The pilots jetted a bit of the buoyant gasoline to “get heavy,” iron ballast began to pull the craft downward, and the mission to the deep began. The light vanished, and they fell further and further into the dark, conscious of the crushing pressure outside their steel chamber. The vehicle had dropped to about 9400 meters when a loud bang reverberated through the cabin, shaking the two aquanauts inside. “We looked at all of our indicators, our instruments and such, and everything was normal,” says Walsh. They didn’t know what had caused the noise, but it didn’t seem to be affecting the craft. “So we just decided to continue on down,” Walsh says, “hoping that we’d made the right decision.”
Besides, the pressure outside the cabin was already so intense—about 103 megapascals, or 15 000 pounds per square inch—that if there was a serious breach of the vessel, “we’d have been dead before we knew we were dead,” Walsh says. Later they determined the cause of the noise: A Plexiglas window in the flooded entrance tunnel had cracked under the pressure. But Walsh and Piccard were safe inside their cabin, separated from the tunnel by a thick steel hatch.

Bin Laden is underground in Ohio being raped, beaten, and tortured daily at the AFB. No evidence exists that he is not alive.
Ooops.... Neede the conspiracy theory thread.

I've been to the bottom of the ocean. Like someone else said, it's relative.
