Canadian filmmaker and deep-sea explorer James Cameron said Tuesday that the implosion of the Titan submersible that killed five people last month was an extreme outlier in decades of safe exploration.

The “Titanic” director told reporters in Ottawa that faulty engineering was to blame for the incident, which happened as the submersible was on its way to visit the site of the ship’s wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean.
