4:10 pm
was the ship able to maneuver in the last hours before it sank. didn't attempt to buy the coast guard to tow it result in a cap sizing one week after these questions still remain unanswered. we reached out to the coast guard for clarification. our interview request was denied. the greek authorities appear to try to control what is being reported. so to hear if all across our camp close to athens, where the survivors happen from the time of filming, many of them had completed their registration process and were able to exit the facility. we were told by the authorities that asylum seekers we recommended not to come out and talk to press by phone. we managed to get in touch with ali survivor from combined a syria. ma'am. we spent 5 days on the ship, special a lot on the 6th day during the night. we were told by another ship all and then we capsized oh,
4:11 pm
hello. push to ground level and about 30 minutes later because god came to rescue asperger condo has them or they've got a new number. them with little evidence available, it's difficult to establish what exactly happened. and you say they do not want to rely on the investigation by the greek authorities along the spitting manual makeup at doing that. but we're demanding that this time the justice system properly investigate and find who is responsible. you know, if i money touring, should be established and that should come from a difference and independence institution that the spectacle will not approach it double. gotcha, and excited. they don't let me send you more. deb hughes without transparency campaigners for your disasters like this will only keep happening with many more dying, etc. returning to our top story, we can now speak to mike again, he's a scientist and journalist 23 years ago. he made history as a 1st correspondent to report from the wreck of the titanic during a dive in
4:12 pm
a similar vessel to the titan. welcome to the w, mr. gan. like many others you how that hope for a rescue of the tight and can you share your thoughts today or yes, absolutely. you know, it was not the outcome we wanted, but it was the outcome that was consistent with the evidence right from the get go . nicole, it was clear to me just from the evidence. we don't have time to get into the details that they, they had suffered a catastrophic loss. here's the thing. i went down in the titanic, i got stuck for more than 30 minutes. seemed like an eternity. and i was just so worried that these poor souls were having to suffer a long and hard death. the one consolation to one consolation is, think about this. they were only one minute, one hour and 40 some minutes into their dive. so they were excited, they were about to get to the bottom, they didn't quite make it to the bottom. and then this is catastrophic compression event happened. and it, they didn't even know what hit them. so as i think about it,
4:13 pm
i just so thankful that they didn't have to suffer a long, cold, painful death. it was instantaneous. they weren't even aware of it. yeah. and this must be heading very close to home for you having experience something come up there. yeah, so yes, absolutely, because when we got stuck in the propeller of the titanic and i was in a russian vessel that was originally designed for scientific research. so it was a very serious special design for very serious purpose as opposed to titan, which was designed for tourism. but my submarine is a 3 man sub it was me, a diving buddy and a pilot. we got caught in the blaze of the propeller of the titanic because of a fast underwater moving current that just drove us in there. and it was really because of the skill of our pilot. he was a former russian dig pilot, a person used to dealing with life and death and you know, keeping his cool under pressure that i'm here talking to you today because when you're down there 2 and a half miles below the surface of the atlantic ocean,
4:14 pm
you can't call a towing service like you can if your car is stuck in the mud to pull you out. if it hadn't been for victor, my pilot, i would not have survived it. i would have joined the other people who were down there, lost their lives and the titanic and forever for that i am forever grateful. what are the lessons that we can, we can draw from this terrible tragedy to things nicole that i took away from my own experience. number one, the ocean is a very dangerous place. it's not a playground. okay, so this notion of tourism needs to take into consideration the danger of the ocean when i, the night before i drove, i looked out over the north atlantic, the last thing the people who died in the titanic. so i wanted to see it with my own eyes. it's a restless beast, just waiting for you to make one mistake. it will swallow you up, you'll never be seen again. and 2nd, this is not just the sight for of shipwreck. this is where more than a 1000 men, women, and children breed their last. this is their final resting place. it's a great side, it's sacred ground. so if we're going to continue with this tourism,
4:15 pm
i really urge people to take those 2 things into consideration. the sheer danger of it. this is not a joy ride. there's a not a disney land destination and the sacredness of this site. we shouldn't trespass it slightly. i assigned to some journalist michael again, thank you so much for your view and for sharing your story with us. thank and call us the news, but stay to for our business. awesome. see you at the top of the next hour by the people in trucks insured when trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away. the families for these correct only demonstrators.
