New York Daily News: The Gulf is drowning in oil; a "titanic" solution is needed. Enter director James Cameron. As the government scrambles to find any viable solution to the massive oil spill flooding the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, officials hope Cameron, director of big budget adventures such as "Avatar" and "Titanic," can generate an answer. Cameron joined a group of more than 20 scientists and engineers Tuesday who met to discuss solutions.
