Mini sub lands on Titanic off Woods Hole Massachusetts
Scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution guided the 25-foot Alvin submersible onto the Titanic deck 2% miles deep in the Atlantic. Robert Ballard led video recording for five hours while viewing unbroken port holes and the brass ship's wheel, as a robotic probe prepared to inspect the hull. The expedition revisited the famous liner sunk after hitting an iceberg on April 14, 1912, with over 1500 lives lost.
