The director is shocked by the similarity of the two stories.
James Cameron has directed many iconic blockbusters. Among them is a disaster movie about the sinking of the Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Cameron himself went to the sunken liner more than once to repeat his appearance in his photo. He saw the ship so often that, according to him, he spent more time on the ship than his captain did that fateful evening. But the story of the bathyscaphe “Titan” so horrified Cameron that he did not stay away from the comments.
The director called the bathyscaphe a toy for adults, the unsafe use of which was known to some engineers. They contacted the company and explained the risk of exploiting it. However, no one in the organization listened to their advice.
“And now exactly the same tragedy is playing out, with the warnings not heeded. Also in the same place!” Cameron admitted to ABCNews.
“Titan” stopped communicating on June 18. Inside were five people who wanted to see the ship that sank in 1912. The wreck of the bathyscaphe was discovered three days later, 500 meters from the Titanic, resting on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Experts believe that the device exploded inward due to pressure at depth. Conspiracy theorists believe some sort of curse is to blame, as the company owner’s wife is a descendant of an elderly couple who died on the Titanic. She was also featured in a James Cameron movie.
