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 wife of OceanGate CEO and pilot of the submarine, Stockton Rush, is said to be a descendant of two Titanic passengers who died when the ship sank more than 100 years ago.
The story of the missing submersible in the North Atlantic Ocean continues to capture the hearts and minds of the American public.
