Titanic director dives 33 times for the ship… Did he consult the “Titan” crew?
Renowned filmmaker James Cameron, who has dived to the Titanic wreckage 33 times, revealed in an interview with ABC News that several influential figures in the deep-sea exploration community have written letters to the submarine operating company expressing safety concerns.
Cameron stated, “I am amazed by the similarities with the Titanic disaster, where the captain was repeatedly warned about the ice ahead of his ship, yet he continued at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night.”
He pointed out that the incident with the “Titan” submarine, which resulted in the announced death of its crew, reflects a lack of attention to warnings, with the disaster repeating itself at the exact same location.
Earlier, a Mexican actor also spoke about his experience in the ill-fated submarine “Titan” and revealed terrifying details, including the rapid and sudden depletion of the vehicle’s energy by approximately 40 percent.
The U.S. Coast Guard announced on Thursday the discovery of the wreckage of the “Titan” submarine, which had been lost for days in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, along with the fatalities on board.
The media and engineering circles considered the “Titan” journey towards its demise a great adventure for an unqualified submarine whose operators did not adhere to the diving laws and safety requirements observed by dozens of previous teams and adventurers who had visited and filmed the ship, including James Cameron.
According to deep-sea experts, reaching remote points in the oceans is not a problem if safety laws and regulations are followed, as demonstrated by other adventurers such as James Cameron, who reached the deepest point on Earth, the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
