Reporter who survived submarine stuck under Titanic propeller \u2018thought it was the end\u2019<\/h1>\n

Stories of daredevils who have taken the 12,100-foot descent down to the bottom of the ocean to view the Titanic are\u00a0coming to the surface\u00a0<\/a>and detailing their experience of being seconds away from death.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In September 2000, Guillen, 63, departed from Halifax, Canada to make the dive down to the bottom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Titanic sank, it broke into two pieces, the bow section went straight down. The stern did a somersault,\u201d Guillen explained. \u201cAnd 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
