James Cameron, director of the blockbuster Titanic and a deep-sea submersible designer himself, likened the Titan tragedy in which five people died this week to the sinking of the ill-fated ocean liner because of the safety warnings both received prior to their disasters.
He told ABC News that the wider submersible engineering community had been specifically concerned about the OceanGate Expeditions vehicle, the Titan before it went missing on Sunday.
