I actually calculated that I spent more time on the ship than the captain did back in the day," he said.Ĭameron has also directed underwater disaster movie The Abyss and multiple deep-sea documentaries.Ī "catastrophic implosion", such as that believed to have destroyed the Titan submersible, would have happened with incredible force and speed, given the crushing water pressure on the floor of the ocean. "And for 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.Ĭameron has visited the Titanic shipwreck many times in the course of - and since - directing his 1997 epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, which won a joint-record 11 Oscars. "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," Cameron told ABC News. LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) - Titanic director and renowned deep-sea explorer James Cameron said many warnings were ignored about the safety of the tourist submersible that imploded near the famous shipwreck, killing five people.Ĭameron said the sub had been the source of widespread concern in the close-knit ocean exploration community, and drew parallels to the 1912 ocean liner sinking, in which around 1,500 people died. The US Coast Guard confirmed Thursday that the small sub had suffered a "catastrophic implosion" in the ocean depths, ending a multinational search-and-rescue operation that captivated the world.
