I watched another episode of the Nat Geo "Drain" series last night. Using millions of data points, they were able to present an accurate picture of the Titanic sitting on the seabed. It was posed about a week ago, and it's a minute longer than the one they posted five years ago - probably the same, though.

One thing for sure. The Titanic's swimming pool is still full.

Idly wondering how many ping pong balls would be needed to bring it to the surface.

There's a Clive Cussler novel, "Raise the Titanic." Very entertaining. I think that was a movie, too.

I think the ping pong balls would be crushed. The guy on the Hydraulic Press Channel put things into a pressure chamber, and I think ping pong balls were included.
