'I knew Titanic submarine imploded on Monday and rescue was a 'charade', says James Cameron

Titanic director and submersible expert James Cameron said he predicted Titan's implosion days before the debris from the missing submersible was found, calling the search a 'prolonged nightmarish charade'. Mr Cameron, who has visited the world's most famous seawreck 30 times, said the tragedy this week has parallels with the the Titanic disaster, where the captain repeatedly ignored warnings about an incoming iceberg but carried on at top speed.

A remote operated submarine from a Canadian ship found debris on the ocean floor. But search and rescue officials say the men likely died on Sunday - before military planes using sonar buoys detected what they thought could have been SOS 'banging' sounds in the water. The US Navy said they heard a sound consistent with an implosion when communications were lost around two hours after they dived. The Navy passed on that information to the Coast Guard, an insider said.

A lot of people are unaware that James Cameron has dived to Titanic more than 30 times. In addition to being considered an elite deep sea expert, he also advanced the technology in order to do so. He designed his own submersible that took him into the Mariana Trench in 2012 which made him the first person to do it solo (and only 1 of 3 to have ever done it up to that point). So, if it sounds like he knows what he's talking about in this interview, *he does* -- Furthermore, Cameron is friends with Robert Ballard, the oceanographer who discovered Titanic.

Of all the people talking about this, James Cameron has given the best explanations of the situation

[SavannahCarnley]

James Cameron has safely done 33 dives to the titanic, this man absolutely knows what he’s talking about, he’s given the best explanation of the situation out of anyone else.

"Now there's one wreck lying next to the other wreck, and for the same damn reason."

Words of wisdom.

[corruptangel]

"Now there's one wreck next to another wreck for the same damn reason."

This is such a perfect example of history repeating itself because they didn't learn.

“I wish I’d spoken up…I assumed someone was smarter than me…”
Really sucks when other people feel that they’re the ones who have to be accountable for other people’s sheer stupidity and ignorance.

I am a mechanical engineer and I work with FEM to calculate structural Safety. Listening to him sounded like a work Meeting. He definitely understood the topic… kudos

[luckyburrito]

33 dives to the titanic. And he’s been to bottom of the marina trench where it’s 16, 000 pounds per square inch. This man knows what he’s doing and talking about. I’d dive with him anywhere anytime.

As someone who had designed pressure vessels for 20 years, I can honestly say that the only 'safe' construction is a spherical one, Cylinder external pressure stresses are a function of its length which immediately adds another failure portal. I agree with Cameron on that point.

3:34 - “Now there’s one wreck lying next to the other wreck for the SAME damn reason” - that absolutely nails this whole saga. May all of them RIP 😔

[IreZico]

Thanks to James Cameron being real and not bullshitting how great this ceo and company was. He calling out how dangerous it was and why it shouldn’t have happened.

[crylune]

For anybody saying that this man doesn't know what he's talking about because he's "just a movie director" - he manned a solo dive to Challenger Deep, deepest point in the ocean, about three times as deep as the Titanic wreck. He absolutely knows what he's talking about

[zeus]

Learnt more in those 3 mins from Cameron than the hours of news coverage and interviews from supposed experts.

[Da_Publick]

"Now there's one wreck lying next to the other wreck, for the same damn reason."
That's going to be the strongest statement heard about this tragedy.

[tbrown]

Out of all the days of this search, and out of all of the experts, authorities, and journalists, the most compelling words I've heard so far; "Now there's one wreck lying next to the other wreck for the same damn reason."

Hubris is a hell of a drug...

[valiantthor-]

One moment you are looking at the Titanic, the next second you are having a chat with the Titanic passengers.

[jumblyman]

He explains this far better than any other expert I've heard comment on this.

[shogrran]

Hes using every ounce of patience he has to not just plainly say "its stupid"

[sithius]

You can hear and see how angry Cameron is here, and I have to agree with him to be honest. What a disgustingly unnecessary loss of life.

[AJDaniels]

As a bladesmith, when he said "delamination", my heart froze for a second.
I've had knives splinter like glass because of delams.
No WONDER it imploded!
