Titanic wreck diver says missing explorers will feel 'buried alive'
Former ABC News Science Editor Dr Michael Guillen broke down in tears after discussing the likelihood of finding the five passengers on the missing sub alive and touched on his own near-death experience when he went to visit the Titanic wreck site.
Speaking to This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby and Dermot O’Leary, he explained: “You lose track of time down there.
“But it was somewhere between a half hour to an hour but it seemed like an eternity, because every minute you are down there, stuck.
“You are literally buried alive in this tin can, there is no other way to put it. Not buried alive underground, but you are buried alive in the water.
“It stretches out for an eternity and you lose any sense of time but it was somewhere between a half hour and an hour, I say the better part of an hour that we finally sensed that something had happened.”
