Speaking of the filmmaker James Cameron also talks about the film Titanic, a work with which he won several Oscars and became iconic for the cinema.

Cameron is one of the people who traveled to the wreckage of the Titanic. In a 2009 interview for Playboy, he said the inspiration to film the movie was because he wanted to dive into the wreckage.

The Titanic sank in April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg and it is estimated that more than 2,000 people were on board.

Experts point out that searching for the submarine that was heading for the Titanic is “like going to space” but in total darkness

With the filming of the movie, Cameron tried to finance the expedition. The first descent to over 3,500 meters was made in 1995 and the latest technology allowed him to have images to recreate the shipwreck.

Not all is said on Cameron’s dives, in 2012 he was trapped in a sea current for over 10 hours until he managed to get out. That year also saw him travel seven miles below the surface aboard his submersible vessel, Deepsea Challenger, the expeditions he conducted with it being used for special events. National Geographic.

Aboard his personal submarine, Cameron reached the Mariana Trench, considered the deepest point in the ocean.

This sub was twenty feet long and Cameron must have bent his knees and could barely move. In addition, the structure is made of special steel for cabin guns with the ability to withstand pressure.

Similarly, a synthetic foam was placed to prevent the effect of pressure on the seabed. National Geographic reported that there were several systems that served as backup, for example if the submarine’s 1,000+ pound weight did not drop when ordered, there was a galvanic backup release so it could take off.

These events are remembered before the disappearance of the Titan submarine with five crewmen who wanted to explore the remains of the Titanic last Sunday and whose oxygen was scheduled to end today.
