James Cameron's Insight on Submersible Implosion

TL;DR Summary
James Cameron, the director of "Titanic" and an experienced deep-sea explorer, says he "wouldn't have gotten in" the submersible from OceanGate Expeditions due to safety concerns and the company "cutting corners." The submersible, called the Titan, imploded in the North Atlantic and killed all five people aboard. Cameron expressed frustration over the tragedy, which he said could have been avoided, and criticized OceanGate for not getting certified and using insufficient materials to build the vessel. The Coast Guard found debris fields that have been identified as the Titan submersible, but the prospects for recovering the passengers' bodies are unknown.
