What is water pressure at Mariana Trench - Deepest point on earth

Interesting Fact of Today:

Do you know Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands. And if you are at that point then you will have face so much water pressure that it is almost equal to have many elephant sitting over over your head.

The deepest point of the Mariana Trench is called The Challenger Deep , so named after the British exploration vessel HMS ChallengerII, and it is located 210 miles south-west of Guam. This depth was reached in 1960 by the Trieste, a manned submersible owned by the U.S. Navy.

The water pressure on the floor of the trench is more than 8 tons per square inch (703 kilograms per square meter), the equivalent of having 50 jumbo jets piled on top of a person. Most of the trench is completely dark.

In short, pressure over there is so enormous that if you somehow get there then you can't survive at all and your body will get crushed under pressure of water.
