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.
