James Cameron has also spoken to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, saying how he feels “heartsick” from Thursday’s news. He said that when he heard on Monday that the Titan had lost communications and tracking data simultaneously, the only scenario he could come up with was “an implosion, a shockwave event so powerful that it actually took out a secondary system that has its own pressure vessel and its own battery power supply”, referring to the tracking system.
Cameron said that once he heard from the deep-submergence community that a loud noise had been picked up on Sunday, he told everyone that “we had lost comrades and I encouraged everybody to raise a glass in their honour.”
