James Cameron ‘struck by similarity’ of Titan tragedy to Titanic sinkingBy Mike Bedigan, PA Los Angeles CorrespondentJames Cameron says he is “struck by the similarity” of the Titan submersible tragedy and the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The Hollywood director said many in the deep submergence engineering community had been “deeply concerned” about the OceanGate Expeditions craft that was reported missing on Sunday. OceanGate announced on Thursday that the pilot and four passengers of the missing Titan submersible were believed to be dead. Speaking to ABC News about submersible engineering, Cameron said: “This is a mature art and many people in the community were very concerned about the sub. “A number of the top players in the deep submergence engineering community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and they needed to be certified.
