UPDATE:

James Cameron says BP turned away his offer to help with Gulf oil spill

James Cameron, who knows something about underwater disasters, floated a "titanic"putdown of BP, calling the embattled oil company a bunch of "morons.”

The award-winning director of "Avatar"and "Titanic" said Wednesday that BP had rejected his offer to help fight the massive oil spill spewing in the Gulf of Mexico, reports Reuters.

"Over the last few weeks, I've watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what's happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don't know what they're doing," Cameron said at the All Things Digital tech conference.

Cameron has done extensive work with robot submarines and underwater filming in his movies.

Earlier in the day he attended a conference with the Environmental Protection Agency and pushed to have the government get its own independent look at the leak.

"If you're not monitoring it independently, you're asking the perpetrator to give you the video of the crime scene," Cameron said.
