‘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.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Brilliantly said by Jim. Everything that I’ve also thought. Infuriating that Rush decided to ignore all of those completely valid and relevant points. That’s arrogant rich people for you though. RIP to his victims.

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.

More to the point why did outlets like the BBC spend a week reporting nonsense when it was KNOWN the submersible imploded upon it's decent?

James Cameron is a treasure. I’ve always admired how seriously he takes the safety of those he dives with.

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

Funny thing is that Stockton suddenly lost his disdain for "old 50-year-old white guys" when they were plunking down the $250k. INCREDIBLE CON MAN.

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.
