The tragedy of titan submarine has resulted in the death of all its passengers as a result of “a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber“, according to the authorities. For this reason, many have remembered what happened more than 100 years ago with the sinking of the Titanic, something that even the very James Cameron has seconded.
“It’s surreal”
The director currently focused on ‘Avatar 3’ has talked about it in ABC Newswhere he reveals that it was already smelled that something like this could end up happeninggiven that “A lot of people in the deep submersion engineering community were very concerned about this submarine, and several of you know of the top members of the community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and that needed to be certified and so on“.
In fact, the filmmaker himself cComment on your experience designing this type of underwater vehicle that “I understand the engineering issues associated with building these types of vehicles and all the safety protocols that need to be followed. And I think it’s critical that the message we take home is this: Deep-sea diving is a mature art. Since the early 1960s, when there were some accidents, no one died in deep submersion, until now“.
Furthermore, Cameron acknowledges that has been very surprised by the similarities between the sinking of Titanic and Titan. He considers that it is an amazing case and comments the following about it:
I am struck by the similarity to the Titanic catastrophe, in which the captain was repeatedly warned of the ice ahead of his ship, yet he sped toward an ice field on a moonless night. And many people died as a result. And for a very similar tragedy, where warnings were ignored, to occur in exactly the same place, with all the diving going on around the world. I think it’s just amazing. It’s really surreal.
In addition, the head of ‘Titanic’ also said in Reuters that “I thought it was a horrible idea. I wish I had said something, but I figured someone was smarter than me, because I had never experimented with that technology.“. But it is seen that there was no one who was really more intelligent.
