'Titanic' director James Cameron told ABC News that “many people in the community were very concerned about this sub”
The director, who said he has made 33 dives to the wreck and has spent more time on the Titanic than the ship’s actual captain did, expressed that he understood the engineering challenges behind building a submersible.
“It’s absolutely critical for people to get the take-home message that deep submersible diving is a mature art,” said Cameron. “The safety record is the gold standard, absolutely, not only fatalities but no accidents… Of course [what happened to the Titan is] the nightmare that we’ve all lived with, we’ve lived with it in the back of our minds.”
