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.
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 need AI that can be convinced to join a cult to the elder ones
We have MOABs, Davey Crockets, and depleted uranium rounds. The horrors of the deep can come.
The monsters in the godzilla universe feed on radiation.
