The BBC showed a tiny bit of footage from the Challenger Deep mission. It is not very exciting, though. It may be that they are reserving the better footage for a National geographic special later.
Really, the most exciting thing about this is simply that it involves a human-occupied vehicle. It certainly wouldn’t surprise me if new things were discovered, but that doesn’t really seem to be the main thrust of this particular excursion. I am impatient to see film of the deep ocean, though. There’s not nearly enough of that.
