The whole concept behind OceanGate’s Titan submersible, confirmed destroyed in a “catastrophic implosion” on Thursday days after contact was lost, was a “horrible idea,” said director James Cameron on Thursday.
While Cameron is known for his work on films like The Terminator, Avatar, and Titanic, the director is also a deep-sea explorer. Cameron is one of a handful of people to have visited the so-called Challenger Deep, the deepest-known-point on the Earth’s seabed, almost three times deeper than the resting place of the Titanic.
