And it had to be 6 miles long! I'm amazed that the pressure could crush a steel reinforced cable. I'm even more amazed that animals could adapt to live at that pressure.

Ever been diving? Even 10-15 feet of water has a pretty decent deal of pressure

3 inches is not the same as 6 miles.

She told me to give her 6 inches and make it hurt, so I screwed her twice and hit her with a brick.

i don't think it's the pressure, i think it's the weight of 6 miles of cable being supported by the diameter of the cable. and as well all know from materials science, strength is a function of area while weight is a function of volume

I just want to know how the machine could stand that pressure...crazy

Same way heavy duty pipes and what not can. Very thick and strong stuff. It also probably equalizes the pressure to some extent so that the inside isn't 1 atmosphere but much higher.
