Titanic supervisor James Cameron knows the risks at the mercy of those who dive into the depths of the sea.
– Then we go to one of the most unforgiving places in the world. You can’t just call the rescuers there, the director warned of the New York Times in an interview before his dive in 2012.
Cameron’s name has come up in the case of the now-lost submarine, as he is known for his knowledge of the sea in addition to his steering work.
The famous director has been fascinated by the sea since he was a little boy. Cameron has visited the Titanic wreck more than 30 times.
He has owned several submarines, and has told that he knows “almost everyone” in the deep sea world, except for the people in the oil industry.
In 2010, Cameron assembled a group of marine experts to advise the US administration on handling the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
It is worth thinking about alternatives
Cameron has not yet commented on the disappearance of the Titan submarine.
The Titan, owned by OceanGate, has been missing since Sunday morning. There are five passengers on board.
US and Canadian authorities are searching for the vessel, which is expected to run out of oxygen on Thursday. The searches have so far yielded no results.
Even though the director has not commented on the ship’s disappearance, some of his earlier comments are startlingly close to the shocking event.
It hasn’t been long since the last comment.
Cameron released a documentary film in February Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron. In the film, he tries to answer the questions and considerations often asked by fans.
Fans have wondered, for example, whether both Jack Dawson’s (Leonardo diCaprio) and Rose DeWitt Bukater’s (Kate Winslet) the characters could have survived if they had climbed onto a wooden door floating in the sea.
Thought games like this are valuable, Cameron says in the documentary.
– If nothing else follows from it, it will at least make you respect what those people had to experience, Cameron says.
