Titanic: Death of a Dream (1994) A&E Special - Part 1

[chocchipcookiegirl]

It's heartbreaking to hear that heaps more people could have been saved...or that the whole incident could have been avoided.

[Ping4PongWolfie]

What is the name of the song in the biginning of the movie?? PLEASE?

[applefan2151]

I love the violin music at the beginning.

[devendrapratapsinghs]

I Love Titatanic

[sparklycupcake246]

Ok I swear that the guy telling the story ( the one we don't see) is Duckey from NCIS

[mallikahd]

@sparklycupcake246 A narrator ;) And you're right, it sounds like Ducky!

[mallikahd]

@sparklycupcake246 Oh, it IS Ducky! David McCallum plays Ducky on NCIS. :)

[shaylie6422]

Love this documentary. It's unbiased, unlike most of the other ones.

[sssinfullyyours]

How the heck did Milvina knew what happened that night when it says that she was born on 1912?

[1Historygenius]

@sssinfullyyours The story was passed down by her mother who survived.

[TheYuuzhan]

Now I am not sure if it is true or not, but I remember seeing a child form documentary of this. I don't remember what it is called, but it has some historian guy named Doug Deeper in it...

[TheYuuzhan]

1912 Forever...

[Fin12]

Brillant Documentary, so sad

[Redrover8431]

@missbieber13forever Watch the documentary called Titanic:The true story(2001)

[foureleven86]

Why couldn't old man Parkinson narrate the whol documentary?? Lol

[lorileeky]

@foureleven86 I love the way he talks..

[HatesStupidPeople194]

lol that edith brown is just too cute..

[Loals]

35:20, aaah, mr Plinkett, how nice to see you made it in here.

[btomimatsucunard]

I remember this documentary! I used to watch it when I was about 5 years old. :)

[Gaaraguy13]

This is easily one of the best documentaries I can remember, we recorded it on vhs when I was a kid and I used to watch it all the time. You are a gigantic bro for putting this up.

[RFKFANTS67]

I love Brittanic, Titanic and Olympic and can't forget to Mention Cunards Mauretantia, Lusitania and Aqautania and German liners Bismark and Imperator..damn shame non of these survived to get birthed like Quuen Mary 1 in Long Beach Ca.

[missbieber13forever]

Whats the name of the real rose and jack on the titanic ?

[TheLusianPopa]

@missbieber13forever  they re fictional

[RFKFANTS67]

@missbieber13forever Jack Dawson was a name of one of the "coal gang" I think? As for Rose? I don't know?

[fishboi121]

lol i was watching this at school! today awsome docymentry

[kevin122341]

where are jack and rose?

[Marino12Jones]

@kevin122341 Those are characters of the movie, they're not based on real people doing the same events

[7biwr]

What's the music in the background from 6:12 to 7:12

[7biwr]

Can anyone tell me if these documentaries are on DVD . I have them on video but I don't want to further spoil them

[TK42100]

@7biwr

Yes it is. Both episodes, along with the doc "Beyond Titanic", are part of the "Titanic: The Complete Story" You can find copies on Amazon. Its a bit pricey, but the content, the information presented and above all else the survivor interviews make it a good buy IMO

It totally agree with you also. My Grandmother recorded this for me on VHS when it first aired in 1994. I wore the damn thing out :)

[TheLaughingGnomes]

such a tragic disaster , the story of the sinking of the Titanic never fails to move me

[nini261291]

the accents are sooooo lame...but the documentary's awesome.

[shelzo]

It's funny how nobody stopped and thought - "hang on, now WHAT IF she sinks? Only 1/3 of the people will survive!".... bloody nit wits. Never say never.

[sycamorebridges]

What's the name of the piece of music from 0:00 to 0:19?

[weathereyes]

Ruth sounds a lot like how the old Rose sounded in the movie. This is such a great documentary!!

[jarco20]

0 dislikes!!

[bradyischamp]

why no mention of unsinkable molly?

[jrtm1000]

What caused Titanic to hit an iceberg and sink was poor management and protocol. That is the most simplistic way to put it. Lifeboats would never have needed to be used nor would the ship have struck an iceberg if the operations were managed properly. So much attention was paid to Titanic's size and grand fittings that the arrogance and the conceitedness of those that invested and designed her would not even contemplate something as simple as managing a pair binoculars.

[bradyischamp]

such a sad story. RIP

[jeffbrister2004]

why wouldn't they build the ship with watertight decks? on top of e deck. just doesn't make sense.

[LostWhiteStarLiners]

@jeffbrister2004 When you do that you limit easy passenger access to different areas because you basically have all these sections divided up by steel walls. So the mentality was to keep these compartments limited to the lower decks so the passengers on the upper decks would have free movement without having to find their way over and around these huge bulkheads.

[jeffbrister2004]

@LostWhiteStarLiners well for example if you put watertight decks below e deck.... you're only inconveniencing third class passangers, really. these people wouldn't be the type of people to complain about that kinda thing, anyway. if they had put watertight decks just under where 2nd class passengers were living i think that would have been ideal.

[DAVERUKY]

@jeffbrister2004 they wouldnt do that as they thought they didnt need 2,they thought the ship size made it unsinkable....aparently god himself could not sink this ship. lol - think god thought ill show them whose boss.

[TK42100]

@jeffbrister2004

LostWhiteStarLiners summed it up nicely. Also bear in mind that when Titanic was built, Pirrie, Andrews, Carlisle et al. expected the worst case scenario for Titanic was collision with another vessel and/or submerged objects. Both were very common causes of sea disasters at the turn of the century and even before then. What they didn't anticipate was the type of collision Titanic had with the iceberg or the damage she suffered because of it.

[pierre1920]

What is the name of the music ? 34:25

[robertfoy100]

1:29:33 - 1:30:23 James Cameron took one look at that story and said "there's no way we're putting that in".

[robertfoy100]

Titanic was a conspiracy by the British to be horrid to everyone. Oh no, that was James Cameron's ludicrous film.

[CunningStunt777777]

At 0:55:10 that historian, whom I respect (and have seen a lot), makes one hell of an assertion. There is no guarentee in life at all. It is not certain that had Murdoch simply ordered hard over, and left the prop-reversal that it would have avoided the berg.

[BunWackettBuzzard]

@CunningStunt777777 It would of helped, but I have serious doubts it would of missed completely, may of missed the first two water tight compartments, leaving only the others fill...which would of kept her afloat.

[DaniellaaKarlsen]

1:23:20 <- Norwegian? xD

[oldgringo2001]

Why are documentaries being replaced by reality TV?

1) Reality TV is cheaper to make

2) Reality TV attracts a bigger audience: morons.

[virtualpilot31]

@oldgringo2001 Documentries are best!!!

[tehXade]

This ship was Built in england it was not built in irland or usa, go look it up on google for yourself :)

[yocuzz100]

@tehXade Wrong, wrong, wrong. Were you listening closely to this Documentary? It clearly mentions Belfast, Ireland. They're even playing Irish music at one point. Type in "Building The Titanic" right here on Youtube. Look for "Lost Worlds: Building The Titanic (2007) History Channel". That Docu will give you the details from the Irish engineers on the drawing board to the crew looking at the infamous iceberg in fear.

[eimr5679]

thats weird you all mention how great it was how wonderful it was and several times where it was travelling to and how great americans are but really no one ever metiones that it was built in Ireland

[womobewo]

great documentary

[salasrcp90]

those faggots on the Californian could have prevented this catastrophe but they were to fuckin lazy to do anything. fucking assholes 

[kayper54]

The Allison's behavior is the most mystifying of all to me. I understand that they were frantic for their missing baby, but to actively decide to allow their 2yo daughter die because they couldn't find their son is baffling to me. Whatever grief and horror I might have felt in that situation, I couldn't bring myself to sacrifice my daughter's life. I might have to live with unbearable pain with the loss of my husband and son, but my daughter would still deserve to live.

[Chrliesangelsman]

@kayper54: very well said..... I couldn't agree with your more...... 

[TRUEUNITED]

Mr Thomas Andrews was a hero a true Legend.

[TRUEUNITED]

Bruce Ismay was a fucking Prick, i still believe he is the one responsible for everything which happened that night.

[mspumba24]

I have a piece of coal that was on board the Titanic. It's like one of my most prized possessions.

[krugerfuchs]

@MsClaireLouLou they weren't switched

[TJae1]

thnxs ~ U just savd me 50 :)

[lostindiancamp]

I think the thing about Titanic-other than it sank on it's first voyage-is how many people could have been saved it they had insisted the lifeboats had been completely filled. Three small children is the same weight as one grown man.

[rippoxxx]

@MsClaireLouLou LOL do ppl really believe that stuff?? poor people...

[babybre212]

Funny because I heard bad words in 1:02 and 1:03.

[becca5star]

its funny how in 1912 everything was promising. now at almost 2012 we are all dismal and possibly looking towards the end of the world lol

[xdonnix]

@becca5star what goes up must come down

[Carbon657]

I just heard the news about this tragedy today, I will do whatever I can to help the survivors and the familys of the dead at this terrible time.

[KevinVancouver2]

@Carbon657 That is lovely - you are only about a century behind the times.

[bibi5027]

@Carbon657 you heard yesterday? OMG and where you was before its happened in 1912

[leianog]

@Carbon657 Please tell me you're trolling..

[Lionstar16]

I've just realised ... the guy narrating is David McCallum, who plays Ducky in NCIS!

[philster611]

@Lionstar16 And interestingly enough he played Radio operator Bride in " A night to Remember" in 1958. Which was about Titanic.........

[spiderfinger]

A great documentary about "Titanic" hosted by Ilya Kuriyakin himself. Could it be better!? Thank you!

[HenshinHotties]

@MsClaireLouLou Where is this documentary? I would like to see it

[pucksterz12]

Sad because this tragedy was completely avoidable and didn't have to happen. A "fuck it" attitude and kill.

[eugene680]

First of all, the Titanic was such a beautiful ship to be in. Suppose you were a first class passenger and of course paid a crapload of money, how long are you willing to stay on the ship to get your moneys worth? Just asking because Ismay was in such a hurry to get the ship to NY.

[megamuffin15]

I guess it never really mattered how many boats there were. The ship sank in 2 hours, didn't even have enough time to launch the 20.

[Pinkosity]

I wish the narrator was my English teacher he has quite a way with words!

[nvn007]

@Anjaani311 @LostWhiteStarLiners

Another reason is because they want the people who drowned along with the titanic to RIP with the titanic

[virgiliofi]

OK! I really need your help guys! I want to know the name of the song that start at minute 34:23 Please help.. Thank you. Nice documents btw, and thank you very much for sharing with us! :D

[TravisDrago]

i'd give her an hour maybe 2 not much more.....those words I'm sure in many of the officers minds were...that's how long I have left to live

[MsDoctorWhoFan1]

Titanic is not the Olypic and was not a conspiracy. a thousand people died.

Olympic did not have rooms like titanic's, indocumentaries they show rooms, and the original photographs what they had looked like.

[RIESOR]

Muy buen documental es lo bueno de saber inglés que uno le entiende, pero deveras muy buen documental.

[SpokaneGirl85]

It's sick how they treated third class.

[SpokaneGirl85]

The collision would have been avoided if they didn't ignore the ice warnings and if they had enough life boats. But ismay was too selfish and the men in the macroni room told the Californian to shut up.

[bahamutskingdom]

@Anjaani311 The largest reason for not bringing it up, is it is considered a grave site for the ones who perished when it sank. (Though they have disturbed and taken things many times over) It should be left where it rests. Even if it was brought up, the contact with the air would damage it even more and at a higher rate of speed.

[LostWhiteStarLiners]

@MsClaireLouLou That "documentary" (I use the term lightly in this case) is nothing more than an attempt to cash in on the success of Cameron's Titanic film. It came out in 1999 or 2000 if I remember correctly. Please don't put any stock into it because it's all hogwash. There is actual footage and photographs of the Titanic's name on the bow of the wreck and there is absolutely no "MPIC" to be found. What you saw in the other show was CGI.

[vcamnowaa]

@LostWhiteStarLiners Also in the other documentary did they look at the serial number on the propeller? To make sure it matched the titanic's? I'm pretty sure they did and they found out that yes indeed the serial number matched the one that was in the picture :D

[LostWhiteStarLiners]

@vcamnowaa Im not sure which documentary it would have been in, but yes, they have matched the number 401 on the propeller blades to period photos, proving the ship's identity.

[horsewithnoname12345]

@LostWhiteStarLiners If you do your research, you'll know that the olympic had it's propeller's damaged to they placed Titanic's blades on her. They also changed all other identifiable details Everything had to be switched from one liner to the other and visa-versa.

[TheZoostudio13]

@MsClaireLouLou You really believe that?

[cattyomuppet]

@Anjaani311 its rust if you pulled that up it would just disintergrate...and besides its a grave site you cant just disrupt it

[jacob0584]

@Anjaani311 plus it would be kinda of a disresepctful thing to do. it's there as a reminder to those souls who lost their lifes on the icy cold night. It would be like pulling up the USS arizona out of pearl habor. It would be disrespectful.

[Stilla23]

@Anjaani311 The Titanic is a Grave site



[LostWhiteStarLiners]

@Anjaani311 Because Titanic is so rusted away now that any movement would most likely result in 90% of what's left just turning into dust.

[tdmac]

I like that "BLACKPUSSYPUNISHER" is a connoisseur of only high-quality, thoughtful documentaries. Me too, BPP... Me too.

[Stephanie19885]

@tdmac hahahaha I was thinking the same thing.

[MaeganG1803]

I think that in commemoration of the legendary ship, an exact replica should be produced, but not sailed. It could be a place for historians and others. A ship that allows people to get a glimpse of the marvel, beauty, and sheer elegance of one of the most luxurious liners ever made. To this day, bigger ships have been made, but none as luxurious as Titanic.

[kluise1]

Wow that was one of the best Titani documentries I have ever seen. Thanks for the upload. Having suvivors talking and accounts just brings the tragity into the human light. Thanks again!

[riddlergirl77]

great documentary!!!!!!!! thanx......

[48alfaone]

You do all ya can in life, but in the end its all about Luck, (many cross the road & nothing happens, one turns their head & is killed).

[diannetodd1]

This ship always captured my attention and this is the best documentary i have seen thus far. Thanks for uploading this video...GREAT JOB!!!!!

[BLACKPUSSYPUNISHER]

HOW COME A&E DOES NOT SHOW GOOD DOCUMENTARIES LIKE THIS ANYMORE? All they show now is 'Reality T.V. Garbage"

[alexlvsport]

@BLACKPUSSYPUNISHER

Man i wish. Now all i have to chose from is Billy the Exterminator, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and Parking Wars WTF so much for Arts and Entertainment more like Shit and Boredom.

[BLACKPUSSYPUNISHER]

@alexlvsport-I agree with you.

[slotuck]

I have this on VHS. Great documentary ! One of my favs !

[HeathMichelleMatilda]

thanks for uploading this!

[KayBeeEee1983]

The propellers didn't "burble" the water. There were only 37 seconds between spotting the iceberg and hitting it. That wasn't enough time for the stokers to reverse the engines.

[MsDoctorWhoFan1]

Second, why the titanic is not reallly the Olimpic, the propellers could not have been physically removed as they had weighted tons and put on the Olympic.

that conspiracy is an insault and degrading to the people who died.

[KayBeeEee1983]

This video gives the impression that Cap'n Smith never had a bad experience at sea. In reality, he had been the captain of Olympic when she wrecked the year before titanic.

[SpectacularSunset]

Thanks for the upload! This was very educational!

[goddaor]

Thanks for uploading this this is great

[1Historygenius]

Look! It is the greatest Titantic documentary ever!

[MDkid1]

You truly are brilliant, you know that? This is my favourite Titanic documentary and its marvelous that I can watch it now in full, without having to pop in my dvd!

[23456789Alexis]

If I was a new Titaniac, I would wonder what has changed over the years between the production of this 1994 masterpiece & 2011 in the kind of evidence.

[KayBeeEee1983]

@23456789Alexis I think it's been determined that the Titanic broke at a smaller angle (around 11 degrees) than the vast majority of illustrations depict. They also determined that the iceberg didn't make one long gash, but instead made numerous dotted indentations along the hull.
