You may find the books I used in research of this video here - https://amzn.to/3CM41o7 & https://amzn.to/4hQqGOU , I have reviewed both the books on my website - https://sabinmathew.com/my-favourite-books/titanic-an-illustrated-history/ & https://sabinmathew.com/my-favourite-books/story-of-the-titanic/

Ill never let go jack!!

My theory is this, they could of cut out bulkheads and welded them to next bulkhead to stop the water cascading and saved the ship until rescue arrived.
@CliveWall-v8u6jThe 3rd propeller was not reversed and could not be reversed, it was locked in to the turbine that powered it
@badghostlive❤❤
@nadunSulakshana-ut5gkThey were NOT water tide compartments if water flowed into the next one.
@humbertothebeliever2443Interesting stuff
@dannyrichards-nb9shFreaking Brits and their rivets…they even used them on tanks.
@pickle_soup160very, very Good. the best video on the titanic in 100 years
@donis93-l7bThen why did the modern cruise Costa Concordia capsized
@VictorajasharmaGuruaribamThey knew the Titanic was gonna sink. Straight up.
But they ran that marketing fraud hard — telling everybody "God Himself could not sink this ship" just to sell tickets and hype the rich folks into buying in. Pure greed. No real safety checks, warnings ignored on purpose, everything rigged for the disaster while they cashed in on the "unsinkable" lie.
It wasn't some accident. It was fraud dressed up as destiny. Lives lost so the suits could make their money.
Same bullshit they pull today with all their "safe and secure" scams. Wake the hell up.
What "unsinkable" lie are they feeding you right now?
One of the biggest problems with the Titanic was it was rivited together ... rivits on a ship that big and weight is tantamount to being stapled together.
@BkHershI've never seen the sinking of the titanic presented this way!🎉
@JamesAlee-no9tqThey say god can't take it down so ....
@PCBOX-cs8zvThey had 2 hours to build rafts.
@daveryan6624How many ships get sunk by icebergs?
@antoniobacic567415:53 1914? 1912 was the sinking?
@DiverseFeitenvery few survived
@InsideTheHullThat means the captain made the wrong call. They should’ve collided head2head with iceberg
@MrCFreaksThis guys English is horrible
@henrypauley4877Great video!! Thank you 🙏
@realmoosenall that was useless against GOD
@edwardbright9434Hey y'all it sink because the other Mock GOD he caused that ship to sink
@edwardbright9434Lot of blame to go around but the captain of the ship is that for as reason. Add to this the fact that he was retiring after this voyage safety should have been an absolute priority. He believed they myth of the unsinkable ship he paid with his life .
@HowardEllis-xt9biLie.. jp morgan knew what was going to happen..
@Chris-d2s2oIt wasn’t the ”titanic”that sunk.
@jimmylionstar4163have you ever tried an artisan leatherwood honey from Tasmania? it is sooo unique
@maddyf1465What love to see is what would have happened if the much improved sister ship of titanic the Britanic hit the iceberg . Naturally with its bulk heads working and windows closed .
@haroldchase4120You actually got the breakup angle wrong. The ship experienced maximum stress at an angle of around 20° to 25°, not 45°.
@Airpods-o3xJews sank it. Im done with their greed and no sense for human life.
@atlhawks4200Ahh yes. Let's say the iron is of poor quality by freezing it with liquid nitrogen to show how brittle it is... In conditions it would never encounter. For a "Scientest" that one seems pretty dumb.
Bring the temperature down to 28-34 degrees, which would be the temperature at the time of impact, and then do your test.
The "direct collision" BS is absurd. The 50k ton titanic, hitting a 2 MILLION ton iceberg at about 25mph would have come to an INSTANT stop. The kinetic energy of impact would have been transferred to the hull and would have cause catastrophic damage. Boilers would have jumped from their mounts since only their weight kept them in place. This would jave caused a rupture of the main steam lines and led to an immediate loss of all power. Titanic would have been unable to contact any help as she would have just vanished. Only her last reported position would be a clue to start looking for her or any survivors. Speaking of, the force of the impact would have been like getting thrown into a wall at 25mph and caused several severe/lethal injuries. The impact would also have bent the keel and hull and breached multiple compartments as the hull crumpled like a beer can. Without power, the interior would be in complete darkness and its likely many compartments would be unable to be closed duento the hull's warp. (Like what happened on Brittanic when she hit a mine). Titanic would have sank very quickly, likely less than 20 minutes and in complete darkness. With most of the passengers asleep and with no interior lights, most wouldnt even make it to the boat deck. Total loss of life would be FAR higher....if any survived at all.
@sargepent9815The complete physics? The ship got a hole in the side and it sunk to the bottom of the Ocean. THE END.🤔
@ajcommunicationkidDetailed to a 4th grade level. The two drunken lookouts, one dead asleep and passed out, the other one eye open (or less) saw nothing until the impact. That's the how.
@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lfVery good explanation of the sinking.
@mhfisher35I never knew you can break iron if it's cold.
@llnam12The biggest question is why Captain Smith.eas running at full speed when icebergs were spotted in the😊 areas!!!!
@georgestone1485if your gonna have life boats, have enough for everyone.
@leemcmullanif the compartments were built taller too
@dieseltu1035Even with this new technologies a cruise ship can still sink… just look at the costa Concordia in 2012 😮
@jasonbailey1166what if they went full reverse when the ship started to sink? would the water still go over the bulkheads? or just more slowly?
@KevinVerhees-p9rAI slop
@Kirk1914Jim Cameron himself would be proud of this video.
@JoaoSilva22222If four compartments had flooded instead of five, those people would have survived.
One compartment decided the fate.
So in essence. They were better off ramming bow first into the iceberg than grazing alongside it.
@JohnSmith-n7r'can you tell' and all these questions...a re we 4?
who is this aimed at?
4 year olds, will not watch a titanic documentary, and everyone older as 4 is disgusted to be treated as such.
Do better
Great video
@thevitruvianman194:05 Some experts believe that "reducing engine speed" and ordering "FULL Astern" was a catastrophic mistake. A ship the length of the TITANIC will turn better the greater its forward motion. By stopping the engines and then reversing the propellers there was no longer a strong BURST of water going over the rudder. This limited the ability to turn the TITANIC. Had the order been "Hard to starboard" then remain at Full Ahead, perhaps the TITANIC misses the Iceberg. Perhaps we'll never know?
@jasona9Really. Still going on about this ship . It’s a grave leave it alone ffs. It’s becoming dull.
@Ghibliman-g8xYou know what didn't sink the iceberg you would see my ass standing on that till someone rescued me
