Cameron has completed 33 dives to the wreck of the Titanic.
In a press conference that began on Thursday at around 8pm Irish time, Rear Adm John Mauger stated that the debris discovered hours earlier by search teams was pieces of the Titan and that this discovery was consistent with"the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber".The announcement came after days of speculation over whether the men on board the sub were still alive, with the depleting oxygen levels a major talking point.
"I knew that sub was sitting exactly underneath its last known depth and position. That's exactly where they found it." The director also revealed that many in the deep sub community, not including himself, wrote a letter to OceanGate calling for them to certify before taking people down to the wreckage.
