The Titan submersible's mothership returned to shore on the town of St John's on Newfoundland Island on Saturday (June 24). Rescue ships also made their return, bearing the weight of the loss of five men onboard OceanGate's submersible.

Less than a full day after the Titan submersible was confirmed to have imploded, the families of the passengers are “united in grief.”

James Cameron has a great deal of experience with the difficult and potentially dangerous process of such an adventure.The wreckage site has once again gripped the public's attention after OceanGate Expeditions' tourist submersible, Titan, went missing on June 18 while carrying five passengers during a dive down to the Titanic's final resting place. Five days later, Rear Admiral John Mauger, the commander of the U.S.

Titanic” director James Cameron spoke out during an ABC News interview about the tourist submersible Titan that lost contact on its way to reach the Titanic. After submarine company OceanGate released a statement on Thursday saying that the five people who went down are believed dead, Cameron gave his thoughts on the tragedy as a longtime member of the diving community, who has made 33 trips to the Titanic himself. “People in the community were very concerned about this sub,” Cameron said. “A number of the top players in the deep submergence engineering community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and that it needed to be certified. I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night and many people died as a result. For us, it’s a very similar tragedy where warnings went unheeded. To take place at the same exact site with all the diving that’s going on all around the world, I think it’s just astonishing. It’s really quite surreal.”
