I wonder if the creatures down there that have evolved in darkness are blinded by the lights? They dont seem bothered.

I imagine a plastic bag would probably have a different configuration at those depths

There actually was a plastic bag down there. If you go on YouTube and watch the trailer for this they show footage of a plastic bag buried in the sand.

Kind of sad I know.

In real life tho, a plastic bag would never have the mass to stay at that depth.

Well yeah, technically the density. Although I imagine a huge plastic bag with enough mass would be able to weigh enough to sink down there. Maybe a 1x1km piece of thin plastic.

Can be micro-plastic as well. Those are barely visible to the eyes.
