“Huge Pieces Of Titanic Started Falling Down On Us“, Scientist Tells Mike Graham About His Escape

Scientist and author Dr Michael Guillen joins Mike Graham to discuss the time he was trapped in a submersible when visiting the Titanic. He says in September 2000 as the Science Editor of ABC News, even with a fear of the water, he went to visit the Titanic wreck and found his sub caught in a current and pushed into one of the shipwreck’s propellers. “Huge pieces of the Titanic started falling down on us and I was watching all of this through a little eight inch porthole“, he told TalkTV’s Mike Graham. Watch and find out about his dramatic escape from the depths of the ocean. Hopes were fading for the five men on board the missing Titan submersible as the 96-hour oxygen supply dwindled and experts warned the chances of their recue were decreasing all the time. More ships and expertise were scrambled to help find the missing deep-sea vessel, which lost communication on Sunday while about 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck off the coast of Canada.
