Titanic and Avatar director James Cameron has delivered a damning assessment of the Titan submersible craft in a series of interviews following news of its destruction.
The Hollywood director, who is also an undersea expert, reached the deepest known point on Earth, the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, in 2012 using the Deepsea Challenger submersible.
Cameron, who said he was aware on Monday that an explosion had been detected by US Navy hydrophones, also said he had inside information from “the community” that the Titan had been rising away from the Titanic wreck at the time of its destruction.
