Stories of daredevils who have taken the 12,100-foot descent down to the bottom of the ocean to view the Titanic are coming to the surface and detailing their experience of being seconds away from death.
More than 20 years ago, Michael Guillen was the first correspondent to travel in a Russian submarine to the Titanic wreckage site in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Canada.
Guillen, also a physicist, survived a chillingly similar ordeal to those currently lost on the submersible. On Sky News, he revealed that a horrifying incident while under the wreckage left him close to dying.
In September 2000, Guillen, 63, departed from Halifax, Canada to make the dive down to the bottom.
“When the Titanic sank, it broke into two pieces, the bow section went straight down. The stern did a somersault,” Guillen explained. “And so it exposed it when it landed on the bottom, it exposed the propeller. So when we toured the bow, there was no problem. There was a moment of silence we had just for the sake of the victims there.”
