New information about the Titanic tour disaster chilled the blood
In 2018, filmmaker Rob McCallum advised Rush to stop operating the submarine until it could be reviewed by an independent agency, warning that it “potentially puts his clients at risk”, according to emails received by the BBC.
In his correspondence, McCallum told Rush: “I urge you to exercise all care and be very cautious in your testing. As much as he appreciates entrepreneurship and innovation, he potentially puts the entire industry at risk. The tests will determine if the vehicle (Titan) can handle underwater travel; be careful and safe.” he gave warnings.
Rush responded that he was “tired of industry players trying to use the security argument to stop innovation.”
Rush, CEO of OceanGate, said in his reply messages: “We often hear the unfounded cries of ‘you’re going to kill someone.’ I take it as a serious personal insult.” he used his statements.
McCallum told the BBC the correspondence ended after OceanGate’s lawyers threatened legal action.
THE DIRECTOR OF THE TITANIC WAS WARNED
Titanic film director James Cameron also announced that he had warned OceanGate, the owner of the Titan submarine, of the risks.
Cameron noted that he wrote a letter to the company saying they were “on a road to disaster.”
“THEY FOUND THE SUBMARINE EXACTLY WHERE I SAID”
Cameron, who had dived into the wreckage of the Titanic 33 times before, claimed that he suspected a possible disaster when he heard that communication with the submarine was cut off, saying: “The first thing that came to mind was the explosion.” saying.
Explaining that there was a “terrible irony” between the Titanic sinking in 1912 and the Titan’s disappearance, Cameron said: “They found the submarine exactly where I said it was.” he said.
