James Cameron wishes he'd sounded alarm over Titanic-bound sub

Critics had said earlier its carbon fibre and titanium hull would fail over time.

When he heard, as many in the industry had shared, that OceanGate Inc was making a deep-sea submersible with a composite carbon fibre and titanium hull, Mr Cameron said he was sceptical."I wish I'd spoken up but I assumed somebody was smarter than me, you know, because I never experimented with that technology, but it just sounded bad on its face.

The US coast guard said the submersible appeared to have imploded on its expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic at the bottom of the North Atlantic, but a conclusive investigation would take time.
