In the 24 hours since we learned the Titan submersible suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” claiming the lives of the five passengers on board — OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son Suleman, and British billionaire Hamish Harding — the world has come together to mourn with the families of the unfortunate victims.

Is this really the time to be defending a sub that just imploded?!

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.

Canadian filmmaker James Cameron, who directed the critically acclaimed ‘Titanic’, is talking about the recent Titan submersible tragedy.

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.”

The story of the missing submersible in the North Atlantic Ocean continues to capture the hearts and minds of the American public.

Wendy Rush – who is the wife of Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions and the pilot of the submarine that has been missing since Sunday (June 18) – is the descendent of a couple who died on the original Titanic in 1912.
