'Titanic' director James Cameron says 'there was no doubt' the lost OceanGate sub had suffered a 'catastrophic event' days before the tell-tale debris was discovered.
"Titanic" director James Cameron sees"terrible irony" as OceanGate also got"warnings that were ignored"to try to find out how and when the OceanGate Titan submersible imploded after diving to visit the famous shipwreck. An official told CBS News the U.S. Navy detected a noise consistent with an implosion shortly after the Titan first lost contact Sunday.
He also designed his own sub, built in Australia in conjunction with the National Geographic Society and Swiss watchmaker Rolex, which he used in 2012 to. That dive took him to a corner of the seafloor 35,876 feet below the surface — much more than twice the depth of the Titanic wreckage site. Cameron said remarks from authorities and information from OceanGate about there being 96 hours' worth of oxygen on the Titan, and the banging noises detected by surveillance planes scouring the search area, had only fueled a"prolonged and nightmarish charade" giving the families of those on the sub false hope.
"We now have another wreck that is based on, unfortunately, the same principles of not heeding warnings," he said, calling it a"terrible irony.""OceanGate were warned," Cameron said."It's not lost on me as somebody who studied the meaning of Titanic… it's about warnings that were ignored. That ship is lying at the bottom of the ocean, not because of the nature of its steel or the nature of its compartments, but just because of bad seamanship.
