James Cameron's Warnings Ignored Again: Titan Implosion Compared to Titanic
TL;DR
James Cameron, director of Titanic, compared the implosion of the Titan submersible to the Titanic disaster, stating that warnings about the vehicle's structure went unheeded. Cameron designed a submersible that traveled to the Mariana Trench and followed rigorous safety protocols. The Titan, however, was driven with a PlayStation controller and ignored warnings from the deep submergence engineering community. The submersible was carrying five passengers, including the founder and CEO of parent company OceanGate Expeditions, when it imploded.
