James directed the 1998 film Titanic that won 11 Oscars and has become a deep-sea exploration expert

director James Cameron has revealed he has been "struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself" after"I am struck by the similarities to 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," James told ABC News on Thursday afternoon, claiming that "wrote letters to the company saying what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers".

"I understand the engineering problems associated with building this type of vehicle and all the safety protocols that you have to go through," said James. "And I think [it] is absolutely critical for people to really get the take home message from this [that] deep submergence diving is a mature art from the early ’60s… and nobody was killed in the deep submergence until now."An undated photo shows tourist submersible belongs to OceanGate begins to descent at a sea.
