MacInnis, who has been to the Titanic site four times and is a close friend of one of the passengers aboard the missing Titan, stated that a hull failure is catastrophic and cannot be survived.
However, he added that the second two disasters can be managed.
MacInnis himself experienced being trapped by the Titanic and was able to break free more than 30 years ago.
The missing submersible had five passengers onboard, including adventurer Hamish Harding, founder of investment group Action Aviation, and French maritime expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet.
Three of the crew are likely newcomers to deep-sea diving.
If the submersible had merely lost radio contact, standard protocol would be to immediately surface.
MacInnis expressed that he was "stricken" when he learned the Titan was missing.
