‘OceanGate were warned’ about Titan sub safety, says Titanic director James Cameron – BBC News
Titanic director and submersible expert James Cameron has told the BBC that the deep submergence community had previously raised concerns about OceanGate’s vehicle, and had even written to the company saying telling them “you are going on a path to catastrophe”.
He compared the Titan’s tragedy to the loss of the Titanic itself and her crew in 1912, calling it a “terrible irony”.
“We now have another wreck that is based on unfortunately the same principles of not heeding warnings,” he said, following the discovery of debris from the sub in the ocean.
All five men on board were killed when the sub imploded.

A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

The fact it was known this sort of thing had a good chance of happening, but was not able to do anything about the matter other then discuss it amongst themselves, is a good reason for some sort of oversite. The time of running the industry as some sort of boys club are over.

A lot of people are unaware that James Cameron has dived to Titanic more than 30 times. In addition to being considered an elite deep sea expert, he also advanced the technology in order to do so. He designed his own submersible that took him into the Mariana Trench in 2012 which made him the first person to do it solo (and only 1 of 3 to have ever done it up to that point). So, if it sounds like he knows what he's talking about in this interview, he does — Furthermore, Cameron is friends with Robert Ballard, the oceanographer who discovered Titanic.

There is no sense in regulating an activity that small. No sense. 5 peopel dead may be a tragedy but is a drop. Way more than 5 people died in world that same DAY due to bad water treatment. Regulations should focus where they make SENSE

How preventable it was … Let that sink in.
This submersible should not have made it to the ocean if it was not safe or had any questions whatsoever about it's safety. You think astronauts go into space with "maybes and probably safe" ?

Wasn't right to allow that Technology to go down to Titanic – over & over again.
The individuals onboard paid heavily to go down on that Submarine.
You couldn't pay me to go down on that Submarine knowing what I now know.
