Why No One Talks About the Second Deepest Place on Earth?

Apollo 13's plutonium is sitting somewhere near the second deepest place on Earth. So why has almost nobody been down there? We go to the bottom of the Tonga Trench and find the fastest moving plates on the planet, a mountain range being swallowed, and no trash at all. Reconstructions are labelled.
