www.today.com/video/new-8k-titanic-video-reveals-unseen-details-of-sunken-ship-1474012856478K! This is the good stuff. A manned submersible dove on the famed liner and captured excellent 8K video in cold clear water this summer. You can see the ship's Titanic Captain's bath tub in in the video. That tub did not get much use. Metal eating bacterial is devouring the ship. Someday, nothing will remain of Titanic but a pile of red rust and deep-water coral formations.

I watched the video, and I thought surly a longer and more thorough one would be out there....I searched but no luck. I'm guessing they are saving the best stuff for a future movie or documentary where they can make some money. I have no problem with that. Doing what they are doing is I'm sure is very expensive....they have to pay the bills.
Also...."8K"....heck I don't even have a 4K TV yet. My TV is 14 years old. I keep waiting for it to die so I can upgrade....lol.
One other thing I might mention. In your video, there are few short instances where you see two blue/green dots. For those who don't know, these are not video anomalies or something staring back at you. They are a way to judge the size of anything that is being shown.
Basically, its two lasers mounted on either side of the camera parallel to each other. If they are a foot apart, whatever they are pointed at and shining on, the distance between the two dots will be exactly one foot. It's just a way to show the size of any given image/object.
A very simple but effective way to do this.

A very simple but effective way to do this. In addition to noting the lasers are being used to calibrate distance from the submersible and true size of the object viewed through the porthole, it is a fact that a phenomenon occurs in water whereby the object looks larger from true size or form because the water has refractive index 1.333. The water acts or works like lenses that magnifies the image similarly to the way a concave or convex mirror makes objects size much larger than its actual size or position. TC, you should get that UD4K TV so that you can enjoy the science videos. These new units are incredibly cheap these days. I upgraded to Sony HD4K in 2021. I linked the TV to my router. I bought the previous year's model and saved a huge wad of cash. Plus the unit was on sale. Samsung makes a beautiful UD TV. Many cable and streaming videos are now pushed in UD 4K format, and sometimes 8K format, making TV viewing stunning from the living room sofa. The difference in color and clarity compared to a 14 yo TV will shock your brain's senses -- not your wallet.
