It's pretty hard to argue with James Cameron. This guy not only talks the talk, he has walked the walk. He knows what extremely deep undersea exploration in submersibles is all about. Stockton Rush should have paid attention to what James Cameron, Bob Ballard, and many other top experts in the submersible field had to say. Unfortunately Rush was a cowboy who thought he knew best. He paid the ultimate price, and sadly he took others with him.

Dr. Ballard made a excellent point. For reference, municipal water systems in the USA (and probably elsewhere) typically operate in the range of 40 psi* / 276 kPa to 70 psi / 483 kPa, although pressures can be lower or higher depending on circumstances, including the topography of the system (BTW, I am a civil engineer and a lot of my career has dealt with the design of pipelines, pumping stations, water wells, and storage tanks for municipal water systems). Even these pressure can be dangerous if uncontrolled. For example, 60 psi / 414 kPa on a 12" / 305 mm closed valve or blind flange (a type of pipe end) exerts a total force of almost 6,800 pounds / 30,200 N. This is more than three times the weight of my first car, a 1973 Mazda RX-2. Now, compare this to the pressure 12,500 feet down in the ocean: approximately 5,500 psi, which is about 100 times what your municipal water system operates out. It's also equivalent to one Chevy Tahoe for every square inch of surface. Pressure in municipal water systems are bad enough from a safety standpoint, but deep ocean pressures are two orders of magnitude more dangerous. * psi = pounds of force per square inch

You can see a therapist for that. His comparison of this to Titanic is ridiculous. Titanic was a passenger liner who had a reason to be on the ocean that night. Every person on it was traveling somewhere. Some were moving to America to start a new life. Others were on honeymoons, business trips, and yes, a few just wanted to see it (not many, though, 6 days even on a nice ship in those times wasn't altogether pleasant). The people who went down to glare at a rotting corpse that people like Cameron have romanticized had no reason to be there. They were not just going about their lives when they plunged 2.5 miles down into the North Atlantic. If we really want to learn from history, let's learn to let the Titanic go. It has no purpose to humanity anymore. Romanticizing it for 111 years is why those people went down there. Cameron is the one that didn't learn from history. He's already romanticizing this and setting up parallels for another movie. You can almost see him salivating. This was just a greedy company who'd already been sued for fraud trying to sucker billionaires out of money. That's all it was. It wasn't for "science" or out of a love of deep sea exploration. It was a CEO con artist trying to get richer. And it killed himself and four other people.

And in 60 years no research sub has been lost and no one has died. There's a reason professionals may seem a bit obsessive or "focused on obscene levels of safety" to quote a recently deceased CEO that seemed to have the opinions about safety that he himself refuted pretty dramatically, of course with the added benefit of "manslaughtering" 4 others so the whole thing can't even be funny and has to be tragic and ruin families and take beloved members of society away. A really fked up part of me hopes the hull monitoring system alerted Stockton and obly Stockton to what was seconds from happening so he may have at least ended his existence with a brief moment of self reflection... Rumours about an emergency ascent having been started do seem to persist as unverified as they are.

yep but then without that pressure, they're as vulnerable as we are in the deep sea and die instantly. I remember reading that blob fish only look the way they do in photos because of the insane decrease in pressure when brought to the surface; I believe they are deep-sea dwellers.

I really feel for the 19yo and all the families involved who were likely worried and had no say in whether their loved one took the plunge down to darkness. The old heads were experienced but there’s reports the young lad had mixed feelings. It’s one thing to feel comfortable and fully commit to something, but obviously a whole other when you’re inexperienced and unsure where anxiety thrives. I know they say the death was quick but you have to realize that they were already nearly 2 hours in and falling down about 10,000 feet before they lost contact (because of implosion) The Titan drops like a stone to the darkest depths with a single glowstick to illuminate the dark. Rest easy my friend. 🙏🏻

Well said James Cameron. It is basically a suicidal trip, because they are ignoring all the risks and mitigations people have learned to do over many years.
I'd had very similar thoughts along the same lines that Cameron spoke. It was a preventable disaster, brought on by arrogance and pride like the disaster of the Titanic itself. You have to mitigate the risk, and take nothing for granted. Sadly now we have two gravesites at the bottom of the Atlantic, face to face.
James is absolutely furious, as he certainly should be

Both never conducted safety measures and both heeded the warnings of the people that are very crucial to prevent loss of lives and affects everyone.

This awful tragedy sounds like it could have been prevented, and that is very disturbing. While this occurrence could lead to improvements as Bob Ballard was saying after Titanic went down, so often, with disasters, its after the horse has bolted.

The carbon fiber was a major cause of this accident. Carbon fiber isn't meant to be used the way they used it. It's great at flexing under pressure, but it's not meant to retain structural integrity under constant high pressure. It will rupture like a balloon. Carbon fiber is a flexible material, that is not a good material to be used if you want structural integrity.

I wish people would stop saying they have a problem with the design or the material used. There's nothing wrong with carbon fibre material. The issue is the pressure at 12,500 feet under the ocean. Carbon Fibre can and has made deep sea exploration feasible for the consumer and let's not forget that the Titan was also made with Titanium end caps and those were experiencing the same pressure the carbon fibre was.

I very much PRAY that they really did implode on the way down. It seems like the Coast Guard knew they had imploded a few days ago and its not the 1st time we've been lied too about a Sub. Thresher imploded yes, but almost a day after it sank. There were still guys on board banging on the hull and the USS Seawolf heard them do it over 3 dives. Sad stuff

I don’t know why but I have a feeling it wasn’t an instant death.
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

Ive read comments deriding Cameron as "just a movie director" but its clear the guy has educated himself on deep sea exploration. Inagine a fellow who follows all his passions...in Camerons instance filmmaking and the sea. History calls those people polymaths. His inclusion in this discussion is not onky valid its necessary.

Actually, implosion probably occurred 1 hour and 45 minutes into this tragedy.
I saw an experiment where they put a metal barrel underwater and it started to crumple within 4 meters. Now imagine the pressure the Titan went through, being that deep. It had to of been an instant death.
Exactly, Rush could have gotten it certified and then do upgrades. I understand being experimental, just not with other lives, paying passageners at that. They knew the risk but also had to be under the impression that it was relatively safe enough. Paying a quarter of a million dollars for a ride.
Hope post this incident people wont do such crazy thing, may the souls of the people involved in the incident rest in peace 🕊️
