Titanic Director Warns of Dangers of Visiting Shipwreck After Making 33 Dives

James Cameron, the director of Titanic, warned of the dangers of visiting the shipwreck after making 33 dives to the bottom of the ocean while filming the movie.

The Titanic sank in 1911 after striking an iceberg, resulting in the deaths of over 1,500 people.

Cameron said that visiting the wreckage is "not like you can call up AAA to come get you" and that witnessing what "human beings have never seen before" is better than "red carpets and all that glitzy stuff." An enormous search mission is currently underway to look for a group of five missing Titanic tourists.

The missing OceanGate submersible, the Titan, lost contact with the mothership during its descent to the shipwreck on Sunday morning.
