Plastic pollution has reached the Mariana Trench, Earth's deepest point at 11,000 meters, where only three humans have ever descended despite the extreme pressure of 8 tons per square inch that would crush a car like a soda can; this represents a significant environmental concern as human trash has reached the most remote and inaccessible place on Earth.

We Found Plastic at Earth's Deepest Point π #ShortsAdded:
Ever wonder how deep the ocean really goes? 11 km straight down. The pressure would crush a car like a soda can. At the bottom, every square inch hits 8 tons. Your bones would crack instantly.
First off, only [music] three people have ever been down there. The first dive happened in 1960. The submarine had walls 12 cm thick, [music] still almost imploded on the way up. But it gets worse. At that depth, water stays liquid only because of the pressure. Bring it up fast [music] and it boils. The fish down there look like nightmares.
Transparent skin, no eyes, teeth pointing inward. But this is where it gets insane. We've explored 5% [music] of the ocean floor. The trench makes up 0.2% of that. More people have walked on the moon, 12 astronauts [music] versus three divers. We know more about Mars, but worst of all, we found plastic bags at the bottom, candy wrappers at 11,000 m deep. We dumped trash in the one place humans can barely reach and it just sits there in total darkness, 11 km down.
