Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron, who wrote and directed the Titanic film, said the search mission for the underwater vessel since its disappearance on Sunday was a “prolonged, nightmarish charade” that gave the families of the passengers futile hope.
Cameron, who wrote and directed the 1997 Titanic film, said the search mission for the underwater vessel since its disappearance on Sunday was a “prolonged, nightmarish charade” that gave the families of the five passengers futile hope, the Associated Press reported.“That was just a cruel, slow turn of the screw for four days as far as I’m concerned,” he told BBC News on Friday. “Because I knew the truth on Monday morning.
“For the sub’s electronics to fail and its communication system to fail, and its tracking transponder to fail simultaneously — sub’s gone,” the director said. Cameron, an unofficial oceanography expert, has made over 30 dives to the Titanic wreckage site in his lifetime and has collaborated on several documentaries about the ship.
