NEW YORK — Renowned Hollywood director and Titanic researcher James Cameron has compared the tragic loss of the submersible Titan to the very thing that may have led the Titanic to its own demise, overconfidence that led to disaster.
Cameron, who famously directed the Oscar-winning blockbuster Titanic, told ABC News on Thursday he noticed parallels between the 1912 sinking of the British passenger liner and the demise of the submersible designed specifically to visit what remains of the sunken ship.
Cameron said he is especially surprised how the modern-day tragedy unfolded, given how much diving occurs all over the world with no incident. Cameron described an eight to 10-story structure with overhanging metal -- essentially a"twisted mess." "This is a mature art, and many people in the community were very concerned about this sub," he said."And a number of the top players in the deep submergence engineering community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and that needed to be certified, and so on."
