CNN —James Cameron is not working on a project tied to the OceanGate submersible tragedy. “I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now,” Cameron tweeted. Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Stockton Rush perished as they attempted to reach the historic the ship wreckage in a submersible known as the Titan. Cameron told CNN at the time that he had suspected an implosion had occurred. CNN has reached out to reps for Cameron for additional comment.

The home is in Hollister Ranch, a coastal subdivision where singer Jackson Browne has also lived. Get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in business, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley — delivered daily. The mostly solar- and wind-powered estate sits in Hollister Ranch, a secluded coastal subdivision that restricts residential development to help preserve the area's wildlife and native vegetation. According to a history of the area published by the Hollister Ranch Conservancy, the property "represents a concept of land development that is a model for both landowners and environmentalists." Cameron and his wife, Suzy Amis Cameron, purchased the property in the late 1990s for $4.375 million, WSJ writer Katherine Clarke found.

Stockton RushSubmersible pilot Randy Holt communicates with the support boat as he and Stockton Rush dive in the company's submersible. The loss of the submersible launched a search-and-rescue mission that had the Navy, Coast Guard, and even "Titanic" filmmaker James Cameron involved. The search lasted for five days until the Coast Guard announced on June 22 that the submersible had imploded 1,600 feet away from the Titanic shipwreck. The US Coast Guard has convened a Marine Board of Investigation to look into the cause of the implosion — the highest level of investigation by the organization, according to CNN. In emails between Rush and Stanley after the test, Stanley warned Rush of the dangers of being impatient.

The Titanic sank in 1912, and ever since people have wanted to salvage it. Its lack of structural integrity is just one of three main reasons why the Titanic is destined to remain sunk forever. The Titanic wreck site is a gravesiteApproximately 1,500 people lost their lives in the sinking of the Titanic. "NOAA recognizes the Titanic wreck site as a maritime memorial and supports Article 4(1) of the 'Agreement Concerning the Shipwrecked Vessel R.M.S. "Captain's bathtub is a favorite image among the Titanic enthusiasts, and that's now gone," Titanic historian Parks Stephenson said in a statement in 2019.

WASHINGTON — I co-starred with Sir Alec Guinness in a movie where a submersible travels down to the Titanic, springs a leak and implodes. One scene was shot in the newsroom of The Washington Star, where I worked. It was cool to do because my father had a ticket for the Titanic when he was a teenager. His mother cried so much, he sold it to a young woman. “Raise the Titanic” pops up on Turner Classic Movies sometimes, along with other sagas like the 1953 “Titanic” with Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb, the 1958 “A Night to Remember” and James Cameron’s epic 1997 “Titanic” with Jack and Rose clinging to that notorious wooden door.

‘Titanic’ director James Cameron is one of the few people who have visitedFew human expeditions have ventured to the Challenger Deep. Explorer and Texas investor Victor Vescovo said he saw a plastic bag and candy wrappers at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. A trip to the Challenger Deep can put a vessel under pressure that is “equivalent to 50 jumbo jets,” Feldman noted. In 2005, tiny single-celled organisms called foraminifera, a type of plankton, were discovered in the Challenger Deep,” according to NOAA. Given high interest in the Mariana Trench, however, researchers have made several efforts to give increasingly detailed pictures of its features.

Such was the belief in the Titanic that safety regulations of the day were not updated to keep pace with the technology. The first version was adopted in 1914, in response to the Titanic disaster,” the International Maritime Organization (IMO) says on its website. Other SOLAS regulations linked back to the Titanic disaster include:Abandon ship drills – The Titanic captain had canceled one the day of the sinking. Lessons from TitanMaritime experts and historians have noted the Titan submersible operated outside of the regulations prompted by the Titanic disaster. The Titan submersible did not need to conform to safety regulations, since it operated in international waters.

James Cameron recently addressed the implosion of a Titanic-bound submersible that killed 5 people. Cameron told ABC News that he has visited the shipwreck on his own expeditions 33 times. CBS via Getty Images; Steve Granitz/FilmMagicIn June 2023, a submersible owned by diving company Oceangate, which was carrying five people to see the Titanic shipwreck at around 13,000 feet under the surface, lost contact with its mothership. Years before the expedition, experts, including OceanGate's own director of marine operations, had raised concerns about the safety of the vessel. In another interview with CNN, Cameron said he knew "in my bones" that the submersible had imploded before it was announced.

CNN —Filmmaker and deep-sea explorer James Cameron says he figured soon after learning that a Titanic-bound submersible was missing that it had imploded and its occupants were dead – days before officials announced that very outcome. The submersible was carrying five people when it dove Sunday toward the Titanic wreckage in the North Atlantic. It lost contact with its mother ship an hour and 45 minutes into the journey, sparking a dayslong search. Cameron was “hoping against hope” that his conclusion was wrong, “knowing in my bones that I wasn’t (wrong),” he said Thursday. … These are serious people with serious curiosity willing to put serious money down to go to these interesting places – and I don’t want to discourage that.”

He told reporters on Thursday the debris was consistent with "a catastrophic implosion of the vehicle." British Titanic explorer Dik Barton paid tribute to the work of his friend Nargeolet but noted issues raised with the design and maintenance of the craft. "Everyone's wise after the event, but as we're hearing before, unfortunately there were many red flags flying here," he said. He said sonar buoys used in the water for more than three days had not detected an implosion. The Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg on its first voyage, killing more than 1,500 people aboard.

June 22 (Reuters) - Movie director and submersible maker James Cameron said on Thursday he wishes he had sounded the alarm earlier about the submersible Titan that imploded on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage, saying he had found the hull design risky. He is part of the small and close-knit submersible community, or Manned Underwater Vehicle (MUV) industry. I wish I'd spoken up, but I assumed somebody was smarter than me, you know, because I never experimented with that technology, but it just sounded bad on its face," Cameron told Reuters in a Zoom interview. The sub imploded," Cameron said. The five who died mark the first deep-sea fatalities for the industry, Cameron said.

It's likely too risky to try recovering the remains of Titan's passengers, an ROV expert said. The search for the sub near the Titanic has already cost millions; recovery would cost even more. The five passengers on the Titan sub were British billionaire Hamish Harding, French submersible pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions Stockton Rush. The Titan submersible had made three previous trips down to the wreckage. But shortly after the vessel vanished Sunday, key questions began emerging about the design and operation of the Titan.

Industry experts say they were the first known fatalities in more than 60 years of civilian deep-sea submergence. But even as industry leaders braced for increased scrutiny, they said it was difficult to forecast what sort of changes may come. While acknowledging the loss of life aboard the Titan, Ketter said "the facts are the facts" when it came to the experimental path OceanGate chose to take. "It's not that the regulations would be irrelevant, but they probably wouldn't be the biggest forcing function on the industry," Manley said.

The co-founder of OceanGate on Friday defended the company's commitment to safety. Guillermo Söhnlein said the Titan submersible was put through a "very robust" development program. Development of the Titan "certainly led to successful science expeditions to the Titanic," he said. "I think one of the issues that keeps coming up is everyone keeps equating certification with safety and is ignoring the 14 years of development of the Titan sub," Söhnlein told the BBC. The development program was indeed "very robust," Söhnlein said, "and certainly led to successful science expeditions to the Titanic."

Cameron, who is also the director of the Oscar-winning movie “Titanic,” has shared his perspective on the “catastrophic implosion” that killed five aboard the Titan submersible on its way to tour the Titanic wreckage. The youngster would also track a then new deep-sea submersible named Alvin. “It was such a golden age of technological exploration,” Cameron said of the time. Cameron told NPR in 2012 that there is a connection between what he does professionally in films and his personal life as an explorer. “But it has problems, because there’s no second take!”Record breaking explorationAlong with his exploring, Cameron fell in love with the technology that makes deep-sea diving possible.

CNN —Wendy Rush, the wife the executive who piloted the submersible that has been the subject of a desperate search after it went missing during a dive to the Titanic wreckage, has a personal connection to the ship. The couple were fictionalized by Lew Palter as Isidor and Elsa Raven as Ida in the Oscar-winning 1997 film “Titanic,” directed by James Cameron. Wendy Rush, born Wendy Hollings Weil, is the great granddaughter of the couple’s daughter, Minnie Straus Weil. Isidor Straus was a co-owner of Macy’s and the story of how they perished captured the attention of those interested in the story of the Titanic. “On the night of 14 April, after Titanic had hit the iceberg, Isidor and Ida were directed to lifeboat eight.

CNN —James Cameron, who directed the hit 1997 film “Titanic” and has himself made 33 dives to the wreckage, offered his thoughts Thursday after it was announced that a missing Titanic-bound submersible suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” killing all five people on board. Cameron added he thinks “we’re also seeing a parallel here with unheeded warnings about a sub that was not certified.”A desperate search and rescue mission had been underway since the submersible went missing Sunday. “These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans. Speaking of his deep-sea dives to the site of the Titanic, Cameron told Cooper, “You feel the presence of the tragedy and I think that’s the lure. In 2012, he talked to the New York Times about the dangers of deep sea exploration.

“We’ve never had an accident like this,” James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of “Titanic,” said on Thursday. Mr. Cameron, an expert in submersibles, has dived dozens of times to the ship’s deteriorating hulk and once plunged in a tiny craft of his own design to the bottom of the planet’s deepest recess. In an interview, Mr. Cameron called the presumed loss of five lives aboard the Titan submersible from the company OceanGate like nothing anyone involved in private ocean exploration had ever seen. An implosion in the deep sea happens when the crushing pressures of the abyss cause a hollow object to collapse violently inward. If the object is big enough to hold five people, Mr. Cameron said in an interview, “it’s going to be an extremely violent event — like 10 cases of dynamite going off.”
