From Nola.com comes the completely incredible news that Feds meet with ‘Titanic’ director James Cameron on oil spill

Federal officials are hoping film director James Cameron can help them come up with ideas on how to stop the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The “Avatar” and “Titanic” director was among a group of scientists and other experts who met Tuesday with officials from the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies for a brainstorming session on stopping the massive oil leak.
The Canadian-born Cameron is considered an expert on underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies.
“Avatar” and “Titanic” are the two highest-grossing films of all time.


They’ve forgotten to include “The Abyss” which would clinch the deal that Cameron is by far the best expert out there.
