A mysterious expert in submersibles was interviewed by the Coast Guard during the Titan investigation. His name is redacted, but we barely get into the interview before it becomes obvious who it is.

    1. Haha! Reminds me of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry’s therapist reveals confidential information about another client who may or may not have created Star Wars.

      I didn’t realise Jean Negulesco became interested in submarines after filming Titanic in 1953. In fact I thought he was dead.

      Hopefully, this expert witness won’t need to be called for his advice in a couple years to discuss his film Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

    4. So this mystery person worked on a film called Titanic and ANOTHER film called The Abyss… Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

      It’s a bait and switch. They interviewed Leo. Who knew he did so much research before playing Jack. He really committed to that door float scene.

      This is a terrible redacting job. A good redacting job would have redacted the fact that he made a film and all that so you couldn’t figure out who it was.

    7. Sucks we’ll never get a good Jim Cameron movie ever again since he’ll die having only made more bland Avatars.

    8. lol why even redact it? 🤣 Two lines in and it’s already screaming who it is! Might as well have just dropped a pic of the Titanic as his profile pic.

    9. You would think Tobert Ballard, the guy that actually discovered the titanic would have been called or an actual submarine engineer. Not sure I would say a film director would be an expert

      Sometimes I have to teach a class on HIPAA and what violations look like (and what they don’t look like).

      Even if you redact a patient’s name, you should not discuss details of their care if other information could give away their identity. Maybe a disease is so rare that only five people in the world have it and only one of them lives near you, for example.

      I’m going to use this as an example of how redacting a name is not always sufficient.
