Mexico’s Taam Ja’ Blue Hole is the deepest known underwater sinkhole in the world, researchers have discovered — and they haven’t even reached the bottom yet.
New measurements indicate the Taam Ja’ Blue Hole (TJBH), which sits in Chetumal Bay off the southeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, extends at least 1,380 feet (420 meters) below sea level.
That’s 480 feet (146 m) deeper than scientists initially documented when they first discovered the blue hole in 2021, and 390 feet (119 m) deeper than the previous record holder — the 990-foot-deep (301 m) Sansha Yongle Blue Hole, also known as the Dragon Hole, in the South China Sea.
THIS is where we need AI! Load a bunch of cute underwater drones that can go down and gently explore and take pictures and videos for us. Instead some paper will use AI for a" journalists rendition" of what might be down there.
And what if they never return and nothing is ever found except a single propeller with a wicked looking tooth embedded in it? Huh? What then?
Your cute drones awakened an unnamed horror that was content to stay asleep. You just had to send AI. Well, congratulations, you’ve doomed us all.
It’s for the best
We have MOABs, Davey Crockets, and depleted uranium rounds. The horrors of the deep can come.
I’m pretty sure nuclear depth charges were also developed at some point.
If there arent any left I suspect they could just make one.
Also fun fact the USS Nevada (BB-36) was nuked twice one from above and another below. Neither worked so they had to shell it for a day and some change.
