OceanGate: Titanic director James Cameron's Australian outburst as he slams sub disaster: 'Entirely preventable'


Cameron said the OceanGate Titan Submarine tragedy in June 2023, which killed all five people on board, was 'entirely preventable' and left a mark on submersible tours.

Cameron made the comments at Fremantle's Maritime Museum in Perth on Sunday, at the launch of an exhibition showcasing his record-breaking 2012 solo-dive to Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench - the deepest part of the Ocean. He said the OceanGate Titan Submarine tragedy in June 2023 - which killed captain Stockton Rush and all four adventure tourists on board - was 'entirely preventable' and destroyed the trust of the public. It collapsed in a matter of milliseconds, instantly killing British billionaire Hamish Harding, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet and UK-based businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman.
