'Titanic' director James Cameron, who has visited the famous underwater wreckage 33 times via submersible, .
Says he knew days ago that the crew was no longer alive.

And the first thing that popped to mind was an implosion, James Cameron, via the BBC.
Cameron blames the Titan sub's parent company OceanGate, for cutting corners.
He says that the company "didn't get certified because they knew they wouldn't pass.".

I wouldn't have gotten in that sub, James Cameron, via the BBC.
Cameron says that OceanGate was warned by people in the deep submergence community as well as the Marine Technology Society that they were "going on a path to catastrophe," the BBC reports.
Cameron went on to say there was a "terrible irony" in the Titan disaster, likening it to the sinking of the Titanic.
We now have another wreck that is based on unfortunately the same principles of not heeding warnings.
