The movie director said one of the passengers aboard the Titan, French dive expert Paul Henry Nargeolet, whom he called “PH,” was a friend he had known for 25 years. “It’s really quite surreal.”Ĭameron said submersible diving is a “mature art” and noted many people in the deep submergence engineering community wrote letters to OceanGate Expeditions, the company behind the mission, pleading that what the company was doing was “too experimental to carry passengers.” “For a very similar tragedy, where warning signs went unheeded, to take place at the same exact site, with all the diving that’s going on all around the world … it’s just astonishing,” he added.
And many people died as a result,” Cameron said in an interview with ABC News.

“I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet, he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night. “Titanic” director James Cameron said he was astonished by the similarities between the ship that sank in 1912 and the Titan submersible that imploded with five people aboard. The family thanked everyone involved in the dayslong rescue effort and extended condolences to the families of the others who died. Nargeolet led several expeditions to the Titanic wreckage site, completing at least 35 dives in submersibles and supervising the recovery of at least 5,000 artifacts, including the recovery of the "big piece" - a 20-ton section of the Titanic’s hull - according to Experiential Media Group, where he was the director of underwater research. We will miss him today and every day for the rest of our lives." The statement added: "But what we will remember him most for is his big heart, his incredible sense of humor and how much he loved his family.
When you think of the Titanic and all we know about the ship today, you will think of Paul-Henri Nargeolet and his legendary work," they said in a statement. "He is a man who will be remembered as one of the greatest deep-sea explorers in modern history. Nargeolet was an “extraordinary father and husband,” the family said.

The family of French dive expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet say they will remember him for the rest of their lives after he and four other people died in the Titan submersible accident. “Was everyone aware of everything that was going on? Was there anything that was missed during any kind of inspection?” “Were all the safety procedures followed as closely as possible?” Paschall said.
While Nargeolet knew the risks of traveling in a submersible, Paschall said, he wanted to know more about how the company that operated the boat, OceanGate, had maintained the vessel and whether it had kept passengers properly informed. Paschall also recalled Nargeolet as a “really incredible stepfather” - someone who was respectful, loving and funny. “He put so much of his life into that ship.” “And that especially goes for the Titanic,” Paschall said. He was just so comfortable out there and in any ocean and any lake or whatever it was. The ocean, Paschall said, was Nargeolet’s “home away from home. Paschall described Nargeolet, who had led several expeditions to the sunken passenger ship and supervised the recovery of at least 5,000 artifacts, as “the world expert on the Titanic.”
