Titanic Documentary (Date Unknown)

[shelzo]

You knowwwww

[NeedleintheGrooves]

By all accounts it was a remarkably clear night tanrat7, brilliant conditions, surprising for that time of year, probably made them overly confident.

[NeedleintheGrooves]

I think blame can be placed on many shoulders, there were a lot of oversights and a lot of pigheadeness. Not enough lifeboats, travelling too fast, warnings ignored by several people not just the captain, possible design flaws... Such a tragedy that thankfully led to far tighter regulations to prevent the same mistakes being made again.

[iamaddict1]

is that the captain's fault why titanic crashed on the ice or it is the route that has many ice ?

[jeffbrister2004]

@iamaddict1 many things contributed to the sinking. captain smith's disregard of ice warnings, the ship's thin and weak hull (which also lead to the breakup), lookouts having no binoculars, etc..... even 1st officer murdock's orders to try to avoid the berg contributed to the actual collision.

[iamaddict1]

@jeffbrister2004 Cool bro , Thanks for the History :)))

[tanrat7]

i cant believe Cameron didnt write Edith Russell into Titanic movie. She was such a character.

[Benjaaa1997]

@tanrat7 Well, i don't know if it's true, but i believe it was foggy?

[kikyouthekillermiko]

It's crazy 200 years from now young people would think that Jack and Rose were real people on the Titanic... thaks James Cameron!

[jayjomae]

@kikyouthekillermiko The character of Rose was based from Rose Abbot also known as Rhoda Abbot. In the film, she was one of the upper class passengers but in real life, she belonged to the third class passengers. Also in real life, she was with her two sons Rossmore and Joseph, who unfortunately died in April 15, 1912. Rose Abbot was the only woman passenger who survived in the icy water when a life boat went back for survivors.

*I learned this from a documentary titled "The Real Titanic."* c:

[JojoplusBo]

there is No feeling in the females voice presenting the news in this video. Her commentry lacks  emotion ....she may as well be reading a cake recipe!

I wonder if she actually absorbed what she was reading, Titanics Peril....1500 deaths???

Edith Russell seems to be a character, although she had gone through such a frightening experience along with other survivors,I would have liked to have met.

rip to all that lay with Titanic

[vickychickkk]

aw this is so sad :( but tres interessant<3

[jimsed1964]

Edith Russell and her pig are featured in the film A Night To Remember:-)

[MrZygoticmynci]

What's the deal with the pig? Why did it mean so much to her?

[YouthInAsia0]

@MrZygoticmynci Her mother gave it her as a good luck charm.

[krissyxoxo94]

just for being 17 I want to know everything about the Titanic...

[GeneralColdNipples]

@krissyxoxo94 i will tell you alot of information i know. Theres something about maybe 1000 people know the true reason titanic split. she split because of weight and she had 2 expansion joints. They are small 6 inch slits from boat deck to i think d deck that allow the ship to flex a tiny bit in heavy weather. i was behind the ground staircase and the other right where she split. Hows that! ( : ll give u more

[godseesnocolour]

i thought the woman interviewed first was a man in drag

[MrDestroyer3000]

@godseesnocolour me too lol

[KingOystar]

may they all RIP!

[mrhaymack]

Did the pig survive?

[priyahthewhite]

i think the worlds modern sense of humour is now sick and twisted enough to accept a family guy special of titanic :)

[ProductionsThatFSU]

8 people disliked this... must have been al-quada members whose grandparents organized the bombing of the titanic

[masterchief1992HHQ]

is the man at 1:12 by any chance Frankie goldsmith?

[midnight1963]

4:49 oh baby, no underwear .. sex-EE

[Melanieiom]

This is useless, theres no real facts as the source is un named :/

[YouthInAsia0]

Edith Russell was a hilarious lady.

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

Fascinating! I love that woman with the pig's story..shes sort of funny in her way..

[aprilleonatew]

That's just pitiful that hardly anyone on the steerage deck could be saved because they weren't allowed on the upper decks. Just horrible.

[masterchief1992HHQ]

is the man wearing glasses by any chance frankie goldsmyth?

[jeffbrister2004]

i like the lady in this video lol. she seemed to have all her wits about her, so i don't have a problem believing any thing she's sayin.

[aka04041994]

thats wrong the total amount that night was 1523

[Messylin]

"I'll never let go, Pig! I'll NEVER LET GO!"

[MarkyMalarky]

yeahhhh 1,512 perish and she's worried about a buckle.

[skystreak19]

@MarkyMalarky Hey you never know, that buckle may have been say, a magic buckle!

[frequencydude]

@MarkyMalarky she didnt say she was worried about it. shes just telling details of what happened

[onehotminutex]

@MarkyMalarky um, you do realize the ship was believed to be unsinkable, it was a new modern day structure for the times... she like many others had no idea that the titanic would be a disaster, thats why so many people hesitated to get in the life boats at first... they thought it was a false alarm or much to do about nothing...

[MarkyMalarky]

@onehotminutex but of course! :D

[MrDunkJunk]

I think people should shut their mouths about the survivors.

Don't judge, because nobody knows what they went true at the time!!!

[captainjjb84]

3:40 who is that Survivor? Lawrence Beesley?

[Snorgteez]

that old woman deserved to die on that ship

[MrDunkJunk]

@Snorgteez  Well that's not a very nice thing to say is it?

[01HILARYKEEGAN]

Edith Russell's character was portrayed in the 'Night to remember' movie of 1958- the only decent film made about the disaster!

[fourzones]

@01HILARYKEEGAN well, people are entitled to their own opinion as to which film they consider to be more decent, but objectively speaking james cameron's titanic is more visually accurate, he built the entire grand staircase

[01HILARYKEEGAN]

@SexySoccerBabe851 I'll give u that lol but do watch 'a night to remember' -feels more like the 1910's and is accurate to a fault- peace from Ireland :)

[SexySoccerBabe851]

@01HILARYKEEGAN Ok? Peace from America, person who I don't know

[MastersoftheOpera]

In 2012, 100 years will have passed since the Titanic disaster (1912 - 2012). So much time has passed & so much has changed. Technology was so primitive then, phones, cars, planes - were new inventions. The ocean liner Titanic was weakly built, despite its sturdy look. Today's ocean liners & cruise ships are PERFECTLY safe. If only the 1900's folks could see our ships! they're unsinkable

[Stepzeta2slash]

r u saying that ships today are unsinkable?? that's the same thing they thought about Titanic,,,

[DavidTheCatholic]

don't listen to him, nothing has changed, any ship today would fall to a ice berg, the titanic would have been a lot stronger than ships today.

[lamujermaslinda]

@Stepzeta2slash and I guss they were wrong.. right?

[DavidTheCatholic]

No kid, you are way off, the titanic is very very strong. was strong sorry. But technology changing hasn't changed a lot in boats, it has changed the engines, but if a ice berg hits it will go down just like the titanic son,

[LightenUpMcGraw]

@MastersoftheOpera - Ain't no ship that is unsinkable, no way no how, not then, not now, not ever.

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

@MastersoftheOpera nothing is unsinkable,even today.

[bobinflorida12]

what did the old guy say about the first & second class at 6:29 ?

[MarkyMalarky]

ok 1) it's Edith Louise Rosenbaum Russell and she was the chief consultant/foreign correspondent for Womens Wear Daily. 2) what she's holding is a porcelain pig that when the tail was wound up played the Maxixe which is like the Brazilian version of the tango. Russell died in 1975.

[elliekate39]

wow i did not know the story of the band playing as it sunk wasnt true! In 'Titanic 1997' they played as water was meters away , bad to let that slip through, especially when the woman seems so upset by it

[tanrat7]

@elliekate39 it always seemed ridiculous to me that they would play music while the ship is sinking. Im not surprised its not true.

[Chorda72]

But it is true.

If you find here at Youtube the clip entitled Titanic - what they saw, you will hear the other version of that legend. A woman in that clip described things exactly as it's shown by Cameron

[tanrat7]

yes and also being a 1st class passenger, she would have got into a lifeboat earlier and may not have heard the music playing later on in the sinking

[DavidTheCatholic]

Lol it is true, they played music to calm the people

[tanrat7]

yes maybe but according to that lady it was a "ghastly and horrible lie" that music play as the ship went down

[DavidTheCatholic]

@tanrat7 There was music, as it was

going down the music was playing,

not as it was about to go under, but as it

started.

[bunnykins110P]

This obviously by her nose Jew woman has the NERVE to speak about the LOSS of her 19 trunks, I had 19 keys blah, blah. And try to mention the people that did not get picked up to board the life boat. So nasty and typical.

[joedgillis]

you are without any doubt a complete and worthless moron.

[bunnykins110P]

@joedgillis Can you seriously stomach the thought of a woman speaking of the loss of her lugguage from a boat like the Titanic?? Are you serious ? How many people lost their lives due to people like her that were "concerned" for her material garbage? Try to find some compassion why don't you, 1500 died on the Titanic, right? How do you think they would feel listening to her rambling about her lost lugguage? REALLY!

[joedgillis]

this woman may not be pleasant, she may be arrogant,she may have lived a privilaged life. this woman is however a survivor. i would not invite her around for tea! But for you to insult and demean her because of her Jewish faith ( which you assign her) that is wrong. jew, catholic, muslim all died in the ice waters that night. the sea did not discriminate . how many died in WW2 to give us this freedom of expression we enjoy here. i for one respect them.

[DavidTheCatholic]

?? haha, funny guy. Freedom of speech, you believe that shit? Governments today are worse than governments in ww2

[DavidTheCatholic]

at an old age like that you'd expect this selfish piece of trash woman, as she is, get over her stuck up self. She has no compassion for the many that died.

[downeysprint09]

dude, whats your problem?

What do you got against Edith Russel?

So what if she was rich and in 1st class! That doesnt mean she didnt care for the people that died! Do you know her story of how she brought her little 'musical pig' with her into her lifeboat?...Well, she brought the pig and later when everything was quiet, she played the music from her pig to calm the children in her lifeboat.

So dont call her a selfish piece of trash! You call yourself a catholic, yet you judge others! wow...

[halyie]

@downeysprint09 i know!!!!!!!!!!!!1 these ppl act as thoe they met with her wtf

[downeysprint09]

exactly, people need to be more reasonable

[frequencydude]

@DavidTheCatholic how is she stuck up, selfish and a piece of trash? if it were you out there in the middle of the atlantic that night maybe you'd hang onto your teddybear or whatever else. would that make you a terrible person? any sane person would.

[LUCKY19891]

Thats probably one of the things which she remebers most vividly from that night, im sure she was well aware about the number of people who died etc, don't be so quick to judge her

[rritter234]

@bunnykins110P

Bravo. you are absolutely right about this woman. Thank you for your comment.

[LUCKY19891]

Um I thought she seemed kind of remorseful about that, like she actually thought that she'd be comning back to her room.. P.S. lay off the whole jew bashing adolf

[Uberdude25]

Great interview

[SWgoaliegrl96]

what was tht lady holding during the interveiw? it looked like a guinea pig, lol.

[mikeangie17]

kinda looked like a puggle and it didn't look alive lol, so its either a stuffed animal pug or an actual stuffed dead animal uck!!!

[Trancemaster2052]

Invaluable interviews, especially now that all of the survivors of the Titanic disaster have passed away.

[ole78aol]

not true Dick wad, this is the closest to the real true facts we can get about the titanic. These are great interviews. and we learn from these people so if another boat goes down, we can know how to survive.

[Trancemaster2052]

@ole78aol What the hell is your problem asshole? Maybe you misread my comment, I said they were INVALUABLE interviews. Invaluable means "extremely useful; indispensable". Perhaps you need to buy yourself a dictionary instead of insulting people you don't even know.

[sugoiking]

i wonder if that pig is still here now a days.. O.o'' if it does.. then i want it, but i know that it isn't gonna come in a cheap prices!

[Raksoo1993]

It is the Lusitania or Mauretania on 0:18 to 0:22. Look at the chimneys...........

[krehall]

Funnels <-----

[1814Brandan]

From 0:18 - 0:22, that is either the Mauretania or Lusitania, not the Titanic, or even the Olympic!! This same footage was used in the UK film "A Night to Remember".

[AdArmand]

I wish James Cameron had written Edith Russell and her magic pig as the leads in his TITANIC movie, instead of Jack & Rose. She's dramatic, hilarious and eccentric... the movie would have been so much better if she was the star!

[tanrat7]

@AdArmand that is so true! lol

[tanrat7]

@AdArmand thats so true that it would have been better if she was written as a lead in Titanic it would have been hilarious

[LightenUpMcGraw]

@AdArmand - That would have been an exciting movie, a love triangle between her, her ninteen keys and her pig, yup you should take up screen writing. You want to go to a real party, I have a pig ya know, oh Jack you poor poor man, brush your teeth first.

[joedgillis]

@AdArmand totally agree she is great. love her wit and straight forward charm. some of the anti semetic insults directed towards her on here are enough to make me ill. some sick people on here.

[kkallebb]

@AdArmand Actually, Edith Russell is depicted in the British movie "A Night to Remember," running to her cabin, long after most of the first class passengers had taken to the lifeboats, exclaiming "My lucky pig, I must have my lucky pig."

[gezkah]

well most ppl died and f they ddnt get on a life boat fast they were gonners, they were men and hred by the ship, probaly paid well, they had too much pride not 2 go dwn with the ship

[steViaHerbs]

eph...............huhuhuhu...j­ack!

[BarryDennen12]

Millvina Dean wasn't a real survivor, she was just a freeloader.

[geneshi]

how do u know

[novelomania]

Who is he??

[fingustis]

RIP

[gezkah]

its not, they relly did, they didnt know what else to do, they the obvisously when down with the ship

[FordMustangGTV8Mario]

when i hear it right than must be the movie from James Camaron false then its a lie that the band played when the ship went down

good movie thanks

[clueless1791]

My bad- I've just watched the rest of the clip and realised it's a toy pig

[clueless1791]

Is that a guinea pig on that woman's lap?

[kkallebb]

That woman was named Edith Russell. She was a fashion journalist.

[Mariane251188]

muito foda!

[CalvinistMorena]

It's sad that the more time goes on, the more survivors from Titanic will have been younger and younger when it sank.

[zimfromBM]

the only one left was like 10 weeks old when it sunk.

[CraziiCassie1028]

and she just passed away. no more survivors. =[

[megaroofsys]

very intresting thanx for posting

[sweeetra3]

"but when they threw that pig, i knew it was my mother calling me"

WTH

[EurodanceKing]

it was probably a gift or something from her deceased mom.... people have those thoughts when they cherish an item that a loved one left them.

[mayituck]

Its a little hard to understand that men speaking

[Gnickk]

Hardly.

[novelomania]

Who is he?

[OppaHappy]

Wait...She had a pet pig and now it's stuffed or something?

[Gnickk]

No no, it's not a stuffed pig. It's just her lucky pig.

[EurodanceKing]

it was actually a music box and when you turn its tail a song plays

[shellspacebabe]

I found this very moving I believe the lady is Edith Russell? when she speaks about locking her windows and locking the 19 trunks with 19 keys her face and eyes showed how sad she felt, I dont think it was about material possessions but was symbolic as with the pig thrown into the life boat

[Thecurious58]

But why is it a lie...but perhaps after her or before she went down.

[Thecurious58]

It's so tragic. I mean it happened for a while ago. But you still have empathy for them and feel for them.

[jenniferlm21]

so no music was playing?

[Zebonka]

I think she means as the ship was literally going down, in the last 5 or so minutes. At that stage it would've been almost impossible for a band to be playing; the deck would've been visibly descending into the ocean, the angle would've been increasing, and likely there'd be too many people running around for the band to get anything done.

[hell0funkys]

No, not while the ship was going DOWN. only when it was partially leveled, then they stopped so that they could get the chance to survive.

[AdArmand]

What she means is that by the man throwing her pig into the lifeboat, it was like a message from her mother urging her to save herself.

[AdArmand]

That woman is flat out hilarious. "19 KEYS for 19 TRUNKS!" James Cameron wasted so much in the Titanic movie not showing some of these more interesting characters!

[Sweetchinmusic666]

man that boat going down must have been awful.....just terrifing

[shelzo]

LOL love the graphics...

[Zebonka]

Say, that interviewer was kinda hot.

[Ifinallysignedup11]

was?

[Zebonka]

Well this is pretty old. Imagine how she'd look now.

[novelomania]

She died in 75 and she sounds amazing! Except for the Ismay Enigma...

[EurodanceKing]

I agree... If this was the 60's or whatever year it was we'd all find her attractive

[zepps88]

she said she was 14 years old when she was on the titanic, which means she was born in 1897 or 1898. i doubt we would find a 62 year old attractive...

[grcfl1]

This is excellent video on Titanic survivors, primarily Miss Edith Russell. Do read "A Night to Remember" by Walter Lord, or the film version of it as well for more data.

Fascinating and rare video. Thank you.

[arnauskaiter]

very interesting story about the "pig baby" :)

i guess, there are not much people, who will understand, why she told about her saving in such a strange way. and why women and children first. Titanic story revealed many social problems, that is dead duck.

[ChiLoves1]

To elmer123c.., a Swiss-US, parternship claimed to had build a $500 million, replica of the Titanic and have it said for the 90th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking.

[raynewriter]

the boats werent fully loaded, and there was a man that put both women, choldren, and men in a life boat... he was taken by the ship,

[Maxobillion]

"Not real diamonds but diamonds."

[EurodanceKing]

lol that was funny

[xather13]

she's very funny! it could be a monty pythons act

[elmer123c]

i wounder y dont people built another 1

america has alot og new technology

[loyalqueen]

it would cost way too much money.

[penisstuckonglue]

if you wanted a ship identicle to the titanic it would cost so much and green peace will be angry oh dont burn coal it would be amazing if any1 ever did but i would think it would be built by the irish

[Zebonka]

If we could get an accurate copy of the Titanic, I reckon instead of burning coal we could kill Greenpeace supporters, crunch them up into little chunks, and burn that instead.

Everyone wins.

[penisstuckonglue]

yeah cool idea it may just work ha well if i could ever make enough money in my life time i would pay to have the ship built but i wonder would it excite people or freak people out that the ship is identicle to the Titanic like a ghost ship or summin

[hell0funkys]

You're a fucking freak, get a life loser.

[Zebonka]

Show some respect to your superiors!

And get a sense of humour.

[hell0funkys]

Fool, i am showing all the respect you deserve, you unprincipled swine!

[bubbaUK]

there is currently only one survior of the titanic at the moment in 2008...and this survivor was less than one year old when she was rescued from the ship

[Wofumpf]

Two months

[murielsartre]

There's a BBC audio recording from 1970 of Ms. Russell describing what happened. I can't access it from the U.S. But she says they had snowball fights with the ice at first!

Can you imagine?! Snowball fights. In any event, Edith Russell was a hell of a lady. She reported from the trenches in WWI. No fear!

[cocoacute]

interesting!

[slipknotfan591]

what amazes me is that one month later they were still finding bodies.

there might be more up north but they might be frozen solid or massively decomposed..or gone

[condorito29]

are you for REAL?

is this just your opinion, or did you read some expert saying that this kind of thing was possible.

imagine finding a frozen person buried in a hunk of ice in greenland.

my....GOD.

[xGolfinhox]

AMAZING!!!!!!♥ ♥♥ ♥

[sarahjoy88]

she is fantastic!

[ragemanchoo82]

I forget the name of the survivor with the pig, but she is featured in A Night to Remember. The pig shown here in this documentary was her "lucky pig". She either gave or willed (I forget which) the pig to Walter Lord, the guy who wrote Night to Remember. I think Lord's family still has it.

Its interesting how full the lifeboats are in most of the illustrations. One of Aaron1912's videos shows when they were launched and how many people were in them.

[memzehni]

....this might be Edith Russell (?)
