Titanic director James Cameron has commented on the recent loss of the Titan submarine that had dived down to explore the wreckage.
“As a submersible designer myself, I designed and built us up to go to the deepest place in the ocean three times deeper than Titanic,” said Cameron. “So I understand the engineering problems associated with building this type of type of vehicle and all the safety protocols that you have to go through. And I think [it] is absolutely critical to really get the take-home message from our effort here is [that] deep submergence diving is a mature art.
The Titan submersible — owned by OceanGate, a company based in Washington — originally set out on a trip to explore the wreckage of the Titanic on Sunday, shortly after it entered the water at around 8 a.m. EST. Since then, the submersible has been missing. Earlier on Thursday, the U.S. Coast Guard revealed debris consistent with the submersible was found near the wreck of the Titanic. All five passengers are presumed dead due to the vessel’s implosion.
The people on board the Titan included pilot Stockton Rush, the head of Oceangate; Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a French underwater wreck expert; British entrepreneur Hamish Harding; and father-son Pakistani nationals Shahzada and Suleman Dawood.
