“A number of you know of the top players in the community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and needed to be certified and so on. I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night. And many people died as a result,” Cameron stated in an interview with ABC News.
The filmmaker, who has been on 33 deep-sea dives himself to go to the Titanic’s wreckage website, stated its “surreal” {that a} comparable incident has taken place on the identical website after over 100 years.
