#nbcnews #titanic #submersible
Well, not being able to swim would probably not have come up.
poop deck
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I think it sat on the bottom of sea until it imploded, ?RIP Lads,
The sinking of the refugee ship by Greek coast guards killing 78 people was a catastrophe.
This submersible debacle was just an avoidable accident.
When you see someone disregard safety standards and try to bypass safety protocols, run away as fast as you can from that cowboy.
Sounds like a Covid standard
yea right, you all wanted to claim something down there on the Titanic and needed a reason for all that machinery so close to a historic landmark. I see right through the charade =D
we do not belong in the ocean!
This man could not swim…wow. Ok well it’s never too late to learn. Might be good to do that, you never know when you go on these kind of excursions you might need to know how to swim.
Yea I’m sure he’ll get right on it
@Alejandro Gonzalez I know…
It would not matter from that depth.
@Matty Nelson that is true…
Was the wreckage fairly close together or wide spread?
People ask why even go down there? Why do anything. These people will be remembered forever and even if they made it back they still would be removed as the few people that got to see it up close and go there. If you don’t understand then you must not care about going to mars either 😂
I dont care to go to mars,,whats up there , that is better than what we have on earth?waste of money.
Dr. Michael Guillen looks so shaken up and he has all reason to be and should give his soul to Jesus Christ if he had not done so before. The Russians are serious engineers and seldom make mistakes. The non insurance of the vessel is an indication of a no no. These 5 cannot sue because these passengers all sign their death certification. The death was sudden and painless.
♥️Thank you Dr Michael Guillén, for this interview “♥️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m so sorry As a Doctor I’m disgusted.
The Russians should be asked to assist with exploring the area where they saw so called debris.
This is the time that individuals come to know that regardless of their arrogance and wealth they still remain toilet dependent creature who can’t buy oxygen or safe life
Quran10:11 If Allah were to accelerate the ill for the people, as they wish to accelerate the good, their term would have been fulfilled. But We leave those who do not expect Our encounter to blunder in their excesses.
Quran10:12 Whenever adversity touches the human being, he prays to Us—reclining on his side, or sitting, or standing. But when We have relieved his adversity from him, he goes away, as though he had never called on Us for trouble that had afflicted him. Thus the deeds of the transgressors appear good to them.
These guys messed up with the bounty of their Creator given to them over other creatures. How many are sleeping with empty stomach, with diseases ,homeless, they could have stood for their help, but they accumulated wealth, prevented from their fellow needy human beings but the Almighty Creator is ever the Master Plotter against the unwise toilet dependent creatures and He removed them willingly from all their wealth, and showed them that they can’t even buy a milliliter of oxygen with all their accumulated wealth.
But if they were amongst the wise ones with monotheism faith they would have been saved like Prophet Jonah, Yunis in QURAN21: 87 And Jonah, when he stormed out in fury, thinking We had no power over him. But then He cried out in the darkness, “There is no god but You! Glory to You! I was one of the wrongdoers!” 88 So We answered him, and saved him from the affliction. Thus We save the faithful
Quran:64:2 By that is exhorted whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allah—He will make a way out for him.
3 And will provide for him from where he never expected. Whoever relies on Allah—He will suffice him. Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has set a measure to all things.
Quran31:33 O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of Allah is true. Therefore, do not let this life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding Allah.
Quran31:34 With Allah rests the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Allah is All-Knowing, Well-Informed.
what a hero
Leave TITANIC alone…. It’s a cemetery 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦 do not disturbed them
Wow I can’t imagine
Imploded the moment contact was lost 😓💔
Rachel Maddow looks strange here…..
This man cannot stop crying….. i mean cry me a river already lol
The doctor makes a very good point ocean gate makes tourisim sub’s and not research subs
Hเรียนนักข่าวNBCไห้ส่งขอความนี้ไปถึงธานาธปัตดีเมียนม่าด้วยนะคะฟีดอย่าไปเชื่ออะไรกับพวกคุณนายกทั้งหลายเพาะเดียวจะทำไห้ม่านกับหนูผิดใจกันเรื่องธุรกิจพาสเตอร์ริ้งนะคะเดียวไห้เรื่องทางนี้เสร็จก่อนแล้วจะไปช่วยท่านนะคะและจะแนะนำไห้ประชาชนของท่านทำธุรกิจต่างต่างด้วยนะคะฟีด
The passengers know the possibility of death, yet they still pushed thru it. Like many people wants to enlist their names to go to planet mars in the near future. 🤷♂️🤷♀️
Well, Stockton is dead. No more tourists visiting the wreck.
Hes said all this about 20 times in the last 2 days already 🙄🙄🙄
Strong under current waves are already mentioned hundred years ago by prophet Muhammad PBUH who has never stepped on ocean isn’t that enough evidence for a wise individual.
Quran24:39 As for those who disbelieve, their works are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty assumes it is to be water. Until, when he has reached it, he finds it to be nothing, but there he finds Allah, Who settles his account in full. Allah is swift in reckoning.
24:40 Or like utter darkness in a vast ocean, covered by waves, above which are waves, above which is fog. Darkness upon darkness. If he brings out his hand, he will hardly see it. He to whom Allah has not granted a light has no light.
I wish he would have asked him how they got his vessel free from the propeller.
Nobody needs all this attention! 4 billionaires took a huge risk & dies instantly in that unsafe vehicle! How about the 600 migrants that perished because of someones greed? What about all the students that have been killed by crazy men with AK47s? Where’s the news coverage on things that actually matter? Move on!
This sub probably wasn’t tested for possible weak spots or compromises
I wish people would just stay away from Titanic and let her rest in peace.
Facts
Me TOO! QUIT DESECRATING IT’S GRAVE and let it rest in peace.
Cheap thrills, not so cheap!
Just like they need to leave the tombs of the ancient Pharoahs alone.
This man is amazing, so strong, thank god the 5 men on board of Titan had a quick death
We should leave Titanic alone for now.
My God, carbon fiber! I’m terrified of carbon fiber handlebars on my mountain bike. Using a laminated material like this is just plain insanity. You can’t cycle carbon fiber with pressure like this and not have compromise that is not evident at the surface. So sad.
No wonder it shattered under the water, the CEO basically signed everyone’s death certificates
Why didn’t they buy a real submarine? With all that money that some people had
The CEO didn’t care basically
If you like to submerge there in an oil barrel, no one is to have a say on it, they chose to do it. if it’s right or wrong, i don’t care. They made their own decision to do it, so why talk about it? They are gone, and that’s it. End of discussion.
He feels a kinship with those who died in the wreckage? Could it have been foolish risk- taking? When I hear “Russian made” it sounds more serious and safer than this Titan project. Something from Campers World, and a game controller?
This poor man has done interview after interview for days! He looks exhausted and is probably suffering from ptsd having to talk about his experience over and over. In one of his interviews, he started crying. I hope the media leaves him alone for a while, he needs rest and some relaxation. He is such a nice person for doing all of these interviews because he said he wanted to share his story so people could understand what the people on board were probably going through if they were alive. My thoughts and prayers go out to him, the victims family and friends, and everyone involved in trying to do this rescue mission.❤
They had a kit , wrong they should’ve been down there
What is a implosion look like?
An inwards explosion. Squeeze a wine glass firmly, it seems like it’s not going to break under the force of your grip…then boom… it shatters.
Poor dude looks like he still has ptsd from it.
Very interesting information so sad to hear so sad and horrible horrible way to die
When greed and both stupidity cost them their live.
And a romantic fascination with the macabre. If the Titanic were just some barge that sank and only a few people died, do you think there would be these people willing to spend a quarter of a million dollars to view it in person for a couple of hours? Answer: NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT
James Cameron said in an interview that one of the things he heard in his small community of deep sea explorers was that the last contact they had was that an issue had occurred and they were dropping ballast to surface.
It’s also reported that US navy recorded a sound consistent with implosion of a small sub at that time. So it seems pretty obvious that Monday morning they knew the sub was gone. I recall someone on news at that time making serious complaints that the public sector isn’t acting like this is urgent and the private companies are ready to go full rescue mode but they’re being held back by the slow public side.
Media seems to have driven the narrative in the absence of the US releasing this information. As a result we had 4 agonizing days of misplaced hope and media banking some nice profits.
Pretty f’d up.
The military hearing the explosion was public knowledge on Monday. The media just wants to drive narratives like you said. There are various YT channels that specialize in military or boating stuff that we’re reporting it.
Just like covid,the vax, The Red Me di a. drove the narrative…too bad there is no watery graveyard for them,,maybe one day soon,they’ll be silenced.
This interview is the MOST INTERESTING and INFORMATIVE 🥺 aside from his experienced the actual what happened to the TITAN.
Also he compared the Sub he used to ride back then to the Titan, to the design, company and the purpose of the vehicle.
GOD SPEED SIR
Well surface ship MUST have heard the implotion, they use hydrophones for communication🤷🏼♂️Just another point that OceanGate is NOT playing by the book
– nor by the Numbers 💯
No, 3000m down where they lost contact, they imploded. And they had no sonars on the “mothership” who chould register an implotion of that smal can as it was. In a nano second, they was as smal as a thing you can lift up in your hands.
You wouldn’t pay me to go down there in that sardine can!!!💯👏👏👏👏
This guy saying it was quick and painless.. thats stupid.. just because the sub wouldve busted up in an instant, doesnt mean they drowned in an instant… if they didnt get knocked out by any of the equipment or parts of the sub, they still more than likely wouldve been aware of having to breathe in water for their last breath i believe..
You don’t seem to know anything about humans imploding
@flouncymagoo7025 you are correct, I don’t know anything about humans imploding as I have never experienced it or witnessed it.. 👏 but I thought they are saying that the sub itself imploded due to the pressure of the water, no?
The 2 miles of water weight above their heads instantly landed on them, turning them into red slush.
@beaverheadedbeaver really? It’s just hard to picture water doing that.. is it kind of similar to like the force of a waterfall type thing? Like if someone was standing at the bottom of a large waterfall and it was falling on their head? I mean pressure wise..
Ignorance and arrogans and think your money is your savior, talk about a wakeup call for othere woke 1d10ts out there. If we just can send Biden’s and all the old dollar elit banksters in an oil barrol there…
so articulate wow ❤
Wow this guy stated facts. This person knows exactly what he is talking about
So they gonna blame NASA and Universities who helped build Titan.
How did he get out of the submarine he was stuck in?
The pilot was able to free it, and surface safely.
Its unfathomable how much money they received for all those trips and they didnt use any of it to make the vehicle as safe as possible.
That is always the story of greed.
Dr. Guillen has given so many interviews, and this has been so difficult and emotionally taxing on him. He looks like he is exhausted. I hope he gets some good rest and a chance to recuperate from all of this. Thank you, Dr. Guillen for doing all if the interviews. You educated so many people.
Is that even real?? It is soo quick they didn’t even felt it?
How long before he starts crying again. This guy falls apart in every interview.
for the guy who change his mind.Shd take the 250k n do charity help the homeless
GM I know that company is out of business now no one would never go down there again God made man to be on the earth not under no water not me from Barbados
imagine , thats how long it takes 2 and ahalf hours to get down there , those 5 people lost connection after about 1 hour so they didnt even get toi see anything so sad and out of no where. boom.
Lives had to be lost before people will learn out of this horrible expedition that went so very wrong. Let the Titanic rest forever enough suffering happened on this cursed ship
Life Is Death, As Death Is Life 🧬.. Let Us Not Ask Why, But Why Not 🤔 Embrace ❤ Such Bravery To Live This Journey Called Life ♻️. Heartfelt ❤️🫂 May Their Souls Journey Forever ♾️
If you build a sub, why not drop it like 500 times up and down the mariana grave 10000m without humans and see if it have what it takes, why playing with this, i can’t understand the ignorance.
Props to the “Russian” MIG Pilot driving this sub!
Thank you for this video, so far this is the most informative interview 🙁 I wish they find peace 🙁 I can’t believe they’ll join the lost souls of the titanic, I will include them to my prayer 🙁
This doctor has made a few interviews until now and every time he illustrate more about what has happened to him during his mission while drawing theories about what could have happened to the passengers. Really impressing to listen to somebody who witnessed such tragedy.
Down at 4000meters 4 inch steel bends under pressure you can hear it when your on boad unfortunately they used carbon fiber which doesn’t have properties
Both Mirs are decommissioned. Mir 1 is in Museum of World Ocean and Mir 2 at Shirshov Institute.
4 white people in a sub die. The world stops an mourned.. The Genocide in Congo happen now, Dosnt make the 5 news..
Amazing explanation
Off topic – but is this news anchor the guy from Ms Rachel’s Up and Down song?
Russia best technology for submarine safety 🦉🐻🍀🇨🇮🧐
So sorry to all family’s 😢
I really understood what the Doctor was describing. Wow this is so heartbreaking, I just can’t imagine going on one of those subs. So basically the sub would have to be perfect going down and even then it’s other problems you could face. 🙏🏾😢
That area is haunted (imho) and people keep trying to explore that wreck with disregard for their life . I can imagine the eerie beauty of the Titanic but it’s not worth losing life over.
This has to be the clearest explanation i’ve heard and kudos dr.michael, rip to the five perished soul what a freak accident that was just waiting to happen.
Thankyou for your information ❤ 🇦🇺
Thank you so much for this interview and insight. I’ve been so disturbed and heart broken for the crew, especially the young man who had his whole life ahead. This helps explain a lot.
Me too, and to think he did it to please his father on fathers day,sad,I can just imagine the pain,horror, and heartache this father had for his son,knowing that they both would die in the depth of that ocean,what a horrible realization for all of them.
They didn’t even know they were dead yet. Crazy!
Im sorry, but im sick and tired of this man, taking interviews, everywhere and making it about himself. Ive seen him atleast 10 different places, exact samestory.
I get it, the stand is that people see, what it is like, to be in that “kind of” situation, but dude, you are making this about you. And it is fd up in my opinion.
I have so much respect for Dr.Micheal Guillen , he is just a very lovely human being and very genuine, thankypu for your wonderful Interview. ❤
If the vessel reaches the Titanic which is about 4,000 metres deep, more than 4,000 Tonnes of pressure is exerting on all sides of the vessel. Let’s say a moderately heavy tank weighs 60 Tonnes. 4,000/60 = 66.7. So there are 66.7 tanks trying to crush the vessel to powder.
I believe that it is harder to explore the deepest ocean than it is going to the moon.
I’m the guy that got out of the submarine and got the submarine free from the propeller. This guy doesn’t know anything about pressure. He just wants his 10 minutes of fame
This is the best video online ive seen and I watched a bunch of them .. good job all around especially the guest
This is all computer program.
Plus the iron sheik is dead !
RIp
I heard on another news channel that they radioed in dropping their sandbags, indicating that they knew exactly what was happening.
This expedition SHOULD NOT have gone ahead at all🤔🥺
What a waste of lives?!! Can’t explain the sadness I feel for the family 😢
You couldn’t pay me enough to go that deep. I’ve been 100′ down in a small sub, not a mini. I could stand in it hunched over. And it was close to shore. The pressure isn’t as great at 100′. It was unnerving.
How dare the Russians have anything to do with the word “peace” on any of their vessels
This is sad news we all pray for the families but don’t you realize Biden is destroying this country and the mainstream news media is helping him . wake up.
Wow
Thank-you for putting it all into perspective 🙏
JUST WOW
Thank you Dr you are so brave
Dr Micheal u have a heart the spirits felt that but they want to rest in peace 🕊️
