Oscar-winning director James Cameron has revealed that he knew about the implosion of the Titanic sub within 24 hours of its disappearance, raising concerns about the secrecy surrounding the rescue operations.
Cameron, famously known for directing the 1997 movie Titanic, disclosed that he received confirmation from colleagues soon after the loss of communication with the mother ship that there had been a loud bang at the same time they lost contact with the submersible Titan.
Upon hearing the news, Cameron said he knew exactly what had happened and that the sub had imploded. Mourning the loss of some friends, he informed colleagues via email that the vessel was on the bottom in pieces right now.
The disappearance of Titan, which was being used for a scientific project to explore the depths of the ocean, has raised questions about the secrecy surrounding the incident and whether more could have been done to help the crew. The fact that Cameron had knowledge of the implosion so soon after it happened only adds to the mystery.
The incident has also highlighted the dangers of exploring the ocean’s depths and the importance of taking adequate measures, both to ensure the safety of the personnel and to keep people informed about rescue operations.
As the search for the missing vessel continues, it is hoped that the information surrounding the incident will become clearer. In the meantime, the world mourns the loss of those onboard Titan and sends condolences to their families and loved ones.
