James Cameron calls for regulations for tourist subs after Titan disaster

No need for regulations, just set a price floor please. Only billionaires allowed.

Don't waste tax money on this. If some rich idiots want to unalive themselves in a can to see some garbage at the bottom of the ocean - let them.

Nah. Let the rich morons off themselves.

I am calling for even fewer regulations. Negative regulations.

I am calling for less. No billionaire should be stopped from going on an unregulated submarine.

To be clear, it wasn’t a “tourist sub”… so maybe the first regulation should be defining exactly what that is,

Didn't they ignore a bunch of regulatory bodies by claiming the passengers were experts and not tourists? I think throwing more laws at it won;t do much, unless they close similar loopholes.

Its international waters. What regulatory body is Cameron proposing has jurisdiction to enforce any regulations?

I mean ok

But also has an air of "won't someone please think of the billionaires"

Like, if some dipshit builds rockets and is offering trips to space for a million dollars and you tried to go to space through this clown and idk, not NASA... that's kinda on you.

But yeah, sure. Preventable deaths, etc.

In the aviation world, an experimental aircraft may not be used for "compensation or hire". The only exception is that a kitplane manufacturer is allowed to give demo flights.

They are operating in international waters. Who would oversee these regulations?

I for one welcome more of these "catastrophic failures" if it means more billionaires will lose their lives. Worthless sociopathic assholes

The only disaster was that they didn't manage to squeeze a few more billionaires on board.

Ribbit

James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron!

Only the gooberment can protect us from rich people getting killed private subs. Plz take more of my tax dollars.

At this rate, I can see a billionaire stepping on a lego and saying legos need to be regulated.

he is an expert on submersibles

@zencat I have Thalassophobia, so for me there's no better regulation than that.

I like Alien more than Aliens.

"And, by the way, watch Avatar: The Way of the Water today on Disney+!"

Are there that many tourist submarines in the world? Would this even make a difference?

Interesting. What has ja rule say to this?

Noooo, don't do it pleeeease.

Stick to making crappy movies you out of touch dinosaur.
