Movie director James Cameron says he knows how the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 can be found.

In a Reddit AMA today he said, in some detail, that success depends on if the pings being investigated in the Indian Ocean are in fact from the missing plane.

Cameron, the man behind “Avatar,’’ “Aliens,’’ and “Titanic,’’ described himself as a “deep-sea explorer and dedicated environmentalist.’’

With credentials like that, it was not hard for the writer, director, producer to expand on his jet-finding plan.

Cameron isn’t the only person from the entertainment world to offer their help in the search. Last month, Hole rocker Courtney Love pointed us all to what looked like debris.

When tragedy strikes, stars aren’t far away. You haven’t forgotten about Kevin Costner’s invention to clean up the 2010 Gulf oil spill have you?

Of course, Cameron did put that pretty big qualifier on his plan.
