It really is. I'm pretty sure at 17000 the water is extremely deprived of O2, so that's probably why there's little rust/decay considering. Paul's team should do some work in the black ocean. The o2 is so little at depth that there's still Roman/Greek era trade ships down there in almost pristine condition.

It's mind boggling how deep parts of the Pacific is.
If you put Everest in the deepest part of the Pacific at Challenger Deep, its summit would be a mile and a half below the surface.
Airliners' cruising altitude above the Earth is about a mile less than the depth of the Pacific Ocean at Challenger Deep.
More is known about the surface of the moon than is known about the bottom of Challenger Deep.
4 times as many men have walked on the moon as have visited Challenger Deep.
The bottom of the ocean is a fricking hostile place.

A hairline failure in the bulkhead at those depths for only a few milliseconds would superheat the air, currently at a relaxing 1atm, and vaporize everything. You would be a vapor before your neurons even had time to shite it's collective mind.
I guess if it happens this is best for that person, I would hate to survive long enough to realize my fate is sealed.

EDIT: Does anyone know of any research/experiments that were conducted with exposing lifeforms, like a pig, adapted for 1atm to the immense pressure at such depths? I know it's morbid, but to try and film and document this process of instantaneous superheating of the air followed by extreme compression would be interesting to see.

The link is to a professor I had years ago, still very active. The research is the adaptation of tissue and molecules to extreme depth/pressure.

Explosive Decompression Accident

This is the description and findings, photos are on the web but I will not post them here.

Yeah. I understand. But still didn’t expect it.
Modern warships don’t have John Deere’s, it is just surprising to see farm equip

Is Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench? I remember my father telling us stories of his time in the Mariana Islands (Guam, Tinian, Saipan) we were little kids and about how deep the Mariana Trench was. He also used the Mt Everest analogy.

Based on about 10 minutes of research, I'm betting that it is a variant of a McCormick-Deering W-9. McCormick-Deering was a trademark of International Harvester. IH generally didn't use it's own name on tractors of that era, preferring the Farmall or McCormick-Deering names instead, but the "International Harvester" is pretty clear in the photo.
Until the 70s, industrial tractors and farm tractors were essentially the same with different attachments. The main difference is the color, with farm tractors being the trademark color (red for IH/Farmall/McCormick-Deering, Green for John Deere, etc.), yellow for industrial/construction use, and grey/olive drab for airport tug use. I'm betting this one was grey, and since it was part of a larger buy by the Navy, it was done under the IH name.
Mostly, and educated guess.

Yeah. It's the deepest part of the trench.

Eh taxi and towing same thing to me. But know I've learned something new.
I'm just always impressed at how we did it back then. Now we have specialized equipment for it all.
Back then that tractor was probably hauling planes, crews, munition pallets all around because that's what we had.

Hey, Wikipedia warned you that all of one diver's internal organs were blown out of his body and they found parts of his spine ripped free from his torso and over 30 feet away.
It's the other ones that haunt me, though. Fat in blood and spaces in organs. Basically, their entire circulatory system turned to thick goo instantly as fats precipitated out. It's like having a full body stroke/heart attack.
