Is it quarterbacking, when the person is also a quarterback?

James Cameron has (purportedly) designed and built submersibles, and has made the dive to the Titanic many (edited) times.

I take his pov less as a second guessing game, and instead providing an informed opinion, in part because this event will have repercussions for everyone else who is using submersibles.




It is not even informed opinion. His remarks can be basically put into textbooks and lecture slides as fact. At this point he is basically authority on this kind of public commercial dive. OceanGate basically building something and selling it to the public even knowingly it will fail. And this whole charade of finding 30mins interval alarm were just a total waste of taxpayers money. I hope each and everyone in OG get sued to bankruptcy. Anyone with enegineering qualifications and decided to work there were juat irresponsible.


Several? He made 33 dives to the Titanic site.
