Titanic director James Cameron has claimed he knew the missing OceanGate submersile had imploded and its occupants were dead on Monday.
The filmmaker and deep sea expert told CNN he figured out the tragic outcome days before it was officially announced by the US Coastguard and he felt watching the desperate search and rescue mission was "futile". Cameron said that as soon as he'd heard the sub had lost contact with its mothership, he got in touch with some members of the deep-sea diving community that he's friends with and was told the vessel had lost communication and its tracking at the same time.
Cameron told CNN's Anderson Cooper that this led him to work out the tragic fate of the five men on board, which included a 19-year-old Glasgow student.
