James Cameron Accuses Titanic , Submersible Builder of Cutting Corners.
The search for the missing Titanic sub crew has come to an end after it was determined that they were killed as a result of a "catastrophic implosion," CNN reports.
The sub, Titan, lost communication with the surface after an hour and 45 minutes of diving.
'Titanic' director James Cameron,
who has visited the famous underwater wreckage 33 times via submersible, .
says he knew days ago that the
crew was no longer alive.
Their comms were lost, and
navigation was lost - and I said instantly, you can't lose comms and navigation together without an extreme catastrophic event or high, highly energetic catastrophic event. , James Cameron, via the BBC.
And the first thing
that popped to mind
was an implosion, James Cameron, via the BBC.
Cameron blames the Titan sub's parent company OceanGate, for cutting corners.
He says that the company "didn't get certified because they knew they wouldn't pass.".
I was very suspect of the technology that they were using.
I wouldn't have gotten in that sub, James Cameron, via the BBC.
Cameron says that OceanGate was warned by people in the deep submergence community as well
as the Marine Technology Society that they were
"going on a path to catastrophe," the BBC reports.
Cameron went on to say there was
a "terrible irony" in the Titan disaster,
likening it to the sinking of the Titanic.
We now have another wreck that is based on unfortunately the same principles of not heeding warnings. OceanGate were warned, James Cameron, via the BBC
