James Cameron knows what it means to carry out expeditions to the Titanic wreck area, and for this reason his opinion regarding the tragedy of the Titan submarine is one of the most relevant
The world was aware of the situation of the Titan submarine, which unfortunately confirmed its implosion, and with it the death of its five crew members. One of the voices that was consulted for his opinion was that of the filmmaker James Cameron, who in 1998 brought Titanic to the big screen.
Do not miss
This film became a resounding success at the box office and with critics, after winning 11 Oscars, including best film and best director. But beyond the worldwide phenomenon in the cinema, James Cameron made 33 expeditions where the remains of the Titanic are located.
In an interview with ABC News, Cameron expressed his opinion about what happened to the Oceangate company’s Titan submarine, whose implosion left five people dead.
“Many people in the community [de ingeniería de inmersión profunda] they were very concerned about this submarine… saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry out. passengers and needed to be certified and so on”.
striking similarities
Cameron, who in 2022 presented Avatar: El Camino del Agua, told the newscast that he was surprised by the similarities between the two tragedies, whose similar factor was the warnings that were discarded and therefore the catastrophes were inevitable.
“I am struck by the similarity to the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about the ice ahead of his ship, yet he sped into an ice field on a moonless night. And many people died as a result…
Cameron said he was dismayed by the tragedy and continues to be prosecuted why the warnings about this vessel were not heeded
“A very similar tragedy (the Titan submarine), where the warnings didn’t take place in the exact same spot, with all the diving going on all over the world. I think it’s amazing. It’s really quite surreal… I still can’t process it”.
