The Royal Geographical Society in Ottawa played host to acclaimed Canadian filmmaker James Cameron on Tuesday in a new summer exhibit that features the "Titanic" director's submersible 'Deepsea Challenger."
The exhibit entitled 'PRESSURE: James Cameron into the Abyss' is "aimed at inspiring the exploration and conservation of the ocean."
The opening of the exhibit on June 5 came shortly before the world was gripped by the disappearance of the 'Titan' submersible.
An international search effort led by the U.S. Coast Guard that included Canada raced against the clock to locate the OceanGate Expeditions’ vessel and the crew aboard before it was announced that a debris field had been found and the crew had perished.
Cameron says a good friend of his perished in the incident.
"P.H. Nargeolet – who is a legendary submersible pilot, fellow Titanic explorer – so it's an emotional shock, it's like a gut-punch you don't expect it because you don't expect an implosion to happen because that's what you spend all your time and finite element analysis in your computer simulation and everything else to prevent. But they obviously didn't do that, they didn't approach it with the same rigour and discipline, unfortunately," Cameron said.
