As a massive search continues for a missing tourist submersible with five people on board near the Titanic wreck, US journalist Michael Guillen recounts his harrowing experience of being trapped in a similar vessel during a dive in the same spot back in 2000. "I was the first correspondent ever to report from the wreck of the Titanic. So, naturally, I was excited," Dr Guillen, who at the time was science editor at America's ABC network, told BBC Radio 4. He recollects that - together with diving partner Brian and Russian pilot Viktor - they went down in a small...

In response to a reporter’s question, Trump said he’s paid for other soldiers’ funerals.

The Miami Marlins have suspended Manager Ozzie Guillen for five games, effective immediately, the team said Tuesday. Guillen sparked a firestorm when he told Time magazine recently that he respected Fidel Castro for being able to lead Cuba for six decades. "I respect Fidel Castro," Guillen said in the article. "You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that son of a bitch is still there."

CINCINNATI -- Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen apologized Saturday for telling a magazine he loves Fidel Castro, two days after saying he gets drunk at the hotel bar after every game and has been doing so "for 25, 28 years. It doesn't change." Guillen told Time magazine he loves Castro and respects him for staying in power so long. When Guillen read his comments Friday, he said he felt sick because he knew how people would react. The Castro comment also prompted the team to issue a statement denouncing the Cuban dictator. "There is nothing to respect about Fidel Castro....

Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen took to Twitter Monday to defend his slamming of actor Sean Penn, an advocate of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Guillen, a Venezuela native, criticized Penn for his Huffington Post column last week in which the actor said the socialist leader was not a dictator. The Oscar winner added that the US Government was lying about Chavez and said calling him a dictator is "defamation, not only to President Chavez, but also to the majority of Venezuelan people, poor people who have elected him president time and time again."

You can add Sean Penn to the long list of people who have been called out by Ozzie Guillen. The outspoken White Sox manager called Penn a "payaso" (clown) and "izquierdista estupido" (stupid leftist) on Twitter Friday for his praise of controversial Venezuela President Hugo Chavez. "Oh my God, Sean Penn defended our President Hugo Chavez," Guillen, a Venezuela native, tweeted. "That's easy when you [don't] live in Venezuela and have money. LOL...shame on [you]." Penn appeared on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week and was asked why he continues to defend Chavez. "Every day this elected leader...

Major League Baseball tapped the brakes Thursday on Ozzie Guillen when it levied separate penalties against the White Sox manager for two incidents. Guillen accepted a one-game suspension that he served Thursday night and an undisclosed fine for the "internal actions" of reliever David Riske, who hit St. Louis' Chris Duncan in Tuesday's game after warnings had been issued to both teams. But the suspension paled in comparison to the attention given to MLB's decision to fine Guillen and order him to attend sensitivity training for using a derogatory term for homosexuals directed at Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti. "The commissioner...

On Tuesday to reporters, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen referred to Chicago Sun-Times columnist and Around the Horn contributor Jay Mariotti as a derogatory name for a homosexual. Angry with a recent column by Mariotti critical of Guillen's handling of recently demoted relief pitcher Sean Tracey and upset with Mariotti with columns of the past, Guillen said to reporters when referring to Mariotti before Tuesday's game with the Cardinals, "What a piece of [expletive] he is, [expletive] fag." "I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same...

After snapping a four-game losing streak, the Chicago White Sox head to Detroit on Monday to begin a three-game series with a team that reminds the world champions of themselves at this time last season. The Tigers started 5-0 before losing 5-3 to Texas on Sunday, but have hit 17 home runs and are tied with Cleveland atop the Central Division standings. Detroit has posted 12 consecutive losing seasons and hasn't made the playoffs since 1987. "The worst thing you can do is call them a fluke," Chicago first baseman Paul Konerko said. "That's what people were calling us a...

According to broadcast reports, an indictment will be handed down in the Imette St Guillen case. Until this week, 41-year-old Darryl Littlejohn was just a "person of interest" in the brutal slaying of Imette St. Guillen, 24, who was raped, strangled and suffocated by someone who stuffed a sock in her mouth and wrapped her face like a mummy in clear plastic packaging tape, suggesting that her killer wanted to freeze the pained expression on her face. Also, the killer chopped off her signature long, black hair before disposing of her body along a road in Brooklyn on Feb. 25....

Littlejohn: No DNA But Fiber Match In Imette St. Guillen Caseby Jim Brogan Mar 9, 2006 He has a criminal career that has spanned more than two decades and featured colorful aliases, such as John Handsome, Darryl Banks, and John Blaze. He once reportedly robbed a bank of more than $60,000 as Blaze -- during a blizzard.

New York -- A graduate student who was raped and strangled and then dumped along a desolate road was seen arguing with the bouncer now being questioned in her brutal killing, a law enforcement official said Tuesday. Imette St. Guillen's killer had also stuffed a sock in the 24-year-old's mouth and wrapped her head with packaging tape before dumping the body, the official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because no one had been charged in the case. St. Guillen, a student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, was last seen alive early Feb....

A racially tinged comment, uttered by an apparently inebriated Imette St. Guillen, may have sent bouncer Darryl Littlejohn into a murderous rage, detectives now believe, according to police sources. Just before Littlejohn was ordered to escort St. Guillen out of The Falls, a SoHo bar, on the night she was raped and killed, she told him: "That's why all you black people are in jail," witnesses told police. The remark came after a brief, contentious discussion with Littlejohn, police sources said..

Police Investigate Whether Fake Cabbie Is a Suspect By ADRIENNE MAND LEWIN March 3, 2006 — - She was brutally raped, suffocated and mutilated, then dumped in a Brooklyn lot wrapped in a blanket. Now experts believe whoever killed graduate student Imette St. Guillen probably did it before -- and may strike again. "This is one of the unusual kind of Hollywood-type cases that we don't see too often, which is why it's so extremely frightening to us," said Pat Brown, a criminal profiler and CEO of The Sexual Homicide Exchange. "Most serial killers -- and I do believe this...
