I really appreciate that he recognizes that it should not be a tourist attraction. He's absolutely right saying it's a graveyard.

She did a great job interviewing him- she didn't interrupt his incredible story, and her interaction came across as authentic and not at all canned.

I can feel this man's PTSD from here. What a terrifying and emotional lesson he has to teach. Kudos to you, sir. ❤

I admire his courage and empathy and his willingness to share his story.

His empathy while stating the facts is very admirable.

Such an empathetic person. He was very truthful and quite frank about how the Titanic wreckage site isn't a place of recreation, but a site to be respected. You can see his pain and concern, agitation, all in his eyes and hear it in his words..

A human being with a scientific mind and an empathetic heart.

The russian pilot saying “no problem” is one of the most bad ass things i’ve ever heard

I really like his message: the Titanic site is a graveyard not a Disney attraction! Well said!

This is probably one of the best interviews on the loss of the submersible Titan. Much respects to Michael Guillen!

Leave the Titanic alone..let it rest in peace and all of the victims who passed away.

Michael's interview is by far the most moving and the most unnerving, he knows exactly how it feels to be stuck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and survived it. I'm just so sorry those five folks onboard Titan were not as lucky as he was.

Thank you to this interviewer for actually letting him talk and tell this amazing story

He is right .. this is not meant for Tourism

This is the best interview I’ve seen thus far on the Titan. I have a lot of respect for Michael putting it all into perspective.

I have seen 3or4 of interviews with him. I respect his sharing his experience. He seems very compassionate. It seems it has been hard for him to share this so many times. Hopefully others will listen to him and learn from his experience.

Excellent guest and much respect to him sharing his story but more importantly his utmost respect to the souls who lost with the Titanic. It’s not a spot to take photos and videos. It’s a sacred resting ground.

Michael, I truly appreciate the humanity and professionalism you shared in this video. My condolences for how deeply this Titan tragedy must be for you.

“have respect for the nature” Absolutely 👏 as humans we overestimate our ability against the nature

hearing him tell his story is breaking my heart 😢 the amount of compassion he is having for the original victims, the most recent victims, and for himself, does not go unnoticed! thank you for sharing your story ❤

This guy is extremely genuine. I wish him and his family the absolute best!

Well said Michael. You've offered a thoughtful, sobering reminder about the dangers of deep sea exploration and I especially appreciate your respect for those lost souls from the Titanic so long ago. More quality reporting like this please.

I love this guy. He needs to write a memoir about this journey. ❤

Stopped and said a prayer at the bow of the ship, you gave respect, and in turn you guys were returned to the world of the living.

I like his honesty he is very right. It is not a tourist attraction, it’s a gravesite, we should all be respectful of that and let those poor souls rest at the bottom of the sea. I personally don’t think anyone should go down there, unless it’s professionals doing it for important research that needs to happen.

Thank you Michael for giving a realistic insight into this horrible situation. I'm sorry for the trauma it is causing you to relive. My prayers go out for those now in danger.

The respect between the two of them is very obvious and appreciated, that mutual respect and authentic conversation makes for the best interviews. Heather doesn't interrupt his stories and asks questions related to his personal experience, Michael says her name during the interview multiple times and listens to her questions as though he's speaking to her instead of a potential audience, just lovely interview etiquette on both their parts. I'm tearing up a little listening to Michaels story, being afraid of the ocean myself, that sounds like hell.

His empathy while stating the facts is very admirable.. A human being with a scientific mind and an empathetic heart..

i’ve never heard of this story. i appreciate his willingness to share

The ocean is merciless, and she will take whom she wants to take and always wins. Don't treat her like she can be bought and owned.

I like what he said at the end. I was telling my brother today even it was 100% FULLproof. I still would never go down there. The bottom of the ocean is horrifying.

Am sorry you went through that Michael..but it goes to show how important it is to respect such places and see them for what they are.Its not a tourist attraction...it's an actual graveyard

Excellent interview with an amazing guest speaker. He did the best job of explaining what’s going on with the search

She was the best reporter I've seen on any channel about this . Because she lets him talk and gives him time .. 👍👍

This was a great interview and hearing the perspective of someone who experienced a little similar to this current situation gives me so much empathy for them. I can only continue praying for them. This is heart wrenching.

What a fantastic interview. The best I've seen. He put so much feeling into this and he did it empathetically and she didnt interrupt once.

Incredible interview - really hits home to the reality of the situation. Also lovely respectful interviewer - she gets that she's dealing with someone going through PTSD rather than hunting for soundbites

Michael did a fantastic job in his interview

What a wonderful, respectful, knowledgeable human being you are Michael. Thanks for sharing your wisdom regarding this difficult, tragic situation

Michael is such a kind, compassionate person....this cones through during his interview...very traumatic experience 🙏

Just a heroic guy with a fascinating story. His vessel had more capabilities than the Titan Submersible. I am a medical scientist and I would not take that risk. There are too many factors which cannot be controlled---like underwater currents, debris & junk, etc.

Like he said, you have to respect the dead, the spirits, and the ocean. It's not a game or a tour, at all.

This lady is a great reporter, asked the right questions, not interrupting, and very professional Thankyou From Australia

He told that story very well 😩🙏🏽I hope those men make it home this is terrible

U have to be insane 2 take a trip like this... the ocean is hands down the most powerful thing on planet earth. It has claimed COUNTLESS lives. These folks go down 2.5 miles to do what ?? And pay $250 K to do it ??? Life is precious ! Respect the ocean !!!!

From an internet stranger, I appreciate your doing this interview and your message so much. You're right that it's important and thank you so much for sharing it.

An amazing insightful and empathetic interview. Appreciated the reminder to be respectful of nature and to respect those who lost their lives on the Titanic.

Not sure how this company has existed all of these years. Those that have returned from these expeditions should count their blessings. I enjoyed him sharing his story and experience. Much respect that he reiterated that the Titanic should be treated with respect! Glad he made it out and prayers that he takes care of himself. I could not imagine his trauma.

Thank you, Sir. This interview could not have been easy for you. We appreciate your time and compassion.

We need more voices like that. What a great scientist he is. I'm so impressed for what he said. Bravo, sir.

Thank you for telling your story Michael. I appreciate the HOPE you shared.

It is a cemetery and it should be respected for those fifteen hundred lives lost

I would assume the Titanic is haunted. 1500 souls rest down there. It's not a tourist attractions. Best to leave them alone.

That must be such a euphoric feeling to come out of a situation like that.

I wish the CEO could see his colossal FU. I feel bad for the 19 year old whose life was beginning.I truly appreciate this man's story.

This is the only guy that speaks sense

Incredible story. Great interview and very touching, eloquent, and gripping message.

The situation has stressed him so much, he cares so much

Thank you for sharing! The lack of respect for life and the dead is disgusting. This is a graveyard, not a tourist attraction.

Viktor the Russian sub pilot is super cool did not panic i hope he is living a great life.

This was a deeply moving interview. Bless you Michael, I am so glad you are here and I can't begin to imagine your trauma x

Respect for Mr. Guillen 🙏🏽

He is so right, the place should be treated as a sacred ground, not a holiday site. Respect the place.

What he experienced to cause his emergency was currents at the bottom near the ship - this OceanGate tourist sub was only an hour and a half into the journey when it lost coms. Suggests to me that even if a current hit them it wouldn't cause a collision into anything seemingly. I think we will learn it was a catastrophic failure bound to happen due to insufficient design/materials/testing. In other words directly due to Oceangate negligence.

he nailed it, it is not a Disneyland ride.

i 1000% agree with Michael Gullien, the wreck of the Titanic is a grave yard and should and must be treated as such. It is sacred ground, not a place for tourist trips.

I really appreciate Michael Guillen sharing his experience, giving voice to the lost scientist. Since he already spoke on many other networks as well he should stop before he goes into depression.

Heather seemed genuinely involved, and conducted a precision yet sensitive interview. Excellent.

It is a graveyard, not a tourist attraction. Titanic tourism needs to be halted out of the respect for the deceased and the danger in going down there.

I could feel his pain. Hearing that they prayed for all those souls was deep. Wow, it's unbelievable.

I loved this reporter, she respected his words, did to interrupt, his words are important.

This made me shed a tear. The sinking of the Titanic seemed so tragic. 😥

This was a HARROWING story, thanks for telling your experience.

I like this guy! Glad he made it through!

🩵🙏🩵🌊🤍🌊🌱🌻🌱🌷🌾🏃‍♂️ My heart felt everything he said And such Professionalism shown by the Lady my hat off to her for NOT Interrupting Michael story . . .. My 💔 is hurt for the 19 year old that was Unsure about going 😳 in that tank for the Respect of FatherS Day . May they all Rest In the Power of LOVe My condolences to all involved 🙏

What an amazing story teller. He needs to write a book.

Much respect to this gentleman. ❤

Imagine how easily the blade could’ve pierced the submersible . Could’ve gone all the wrong way with just the force of the tide

Thank you for sharing your story, Michael. This is the best interview I’ve seen thus far.

Imagine being stuck in a tiny capsule and knowing you're going to die and all them millions you have can't save you.

Mr. Guillan's description gave a great interview here. His experience must have been terrifying. I applaud his attitude that about the site of the Titanic being a graveyard, worthy of prayer, reverence, and serious contemplation. He's clearly reliving the trauma from 20 years ago as if it was yesterday. Thank you, Mr. Guillan! The site of the Titanic is not a "tourist attraction"!

It's been 23 years but he feels like it was yesterday.

This guy knows the terror of this situation I am praying for a miracle for these five souls

Frightening. I dive and I can't imagine being in that vortex of the ocean.

Like the tone set by this news lady. Appreciate him sharing his experience. It IS a graveyard. 🙏

He's right it's a graveyard not a tourist attraction. That was really disturbing experience for him.

From Free Diving about 30 Meters. I've been caught in under water currents which pushed me away a few meters. I can only imagine how strong the currents are at 3000 meters.

Thank you. This is an exceptional, intriguing, terrifying and emotional interview. Calm and ease to Michael Guillen after recounting such an frightening experience

Really appreciate him saying "Titanic is a graveyard." True, and often forgotten.

So moved by Mr. Guillen's immense compassion and willingness to share his very terrifyingly earned wisdom to really drive home the point that we cannot mess with the forces of mother nature.

It is time to leave the titanic alone….let those souls rest in peace! RESPECT

I’d want a friend like Michael. What a human?!

Thank you for sharing your experience, sadly it’s too late for those poor souls who lost their lives on the Titan but I hope they never allow other manned subs to go down there. Rest in peace to all those that died on the Titanic and the Titan, my deepest condolences.

Yes. Leave Titanic alone. Leave the wreckage and the dead.

“Visiting the titanic is not a trip to Disney world”

Thank you Dr. Guillen, for taking the time to share. I know nothing about deep water depths but I have seen “recoveries” (on youtube) to bring body up, way deep down, where someone was shockingly alive. It can happen. For that 19 yr old, I hold out hope.

Your story is very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Thank you for sharing this traumatic experience and the message!

They stopped and PRAYED.

I can feel his connection to these 5 souls. ❤❤❤❤❤
