Titanic Sinking: New Evidence Found

[bailey9r]

I think it was the sister ship Olympic that was sunk, She had been hit by a military ship a few weeks before and insurance refused to pay because it was determined to be Capt. Smith's fault (there were three incidents, one into a tug, one into the war ship, and then ran aground which would make you wonder WHY they would then give the brand new Titantic to tthe same Captain) One week before both ships were side by side in Belfast so it was simple to change markings and wala mega insurance fraud!

[XtremeEmoBlack]

F.Y.I.

It didn't sink. It flew.Right off into space.

[XtremeEmoBlack]

the back part is empty, means no water from the ocean, and the front part was filled up of water from the ocean, thats why the ship was divided into two

[ginipiglover2002]

That'd be scary down there at the bottom of the sea. Wouldn't there be lot of dead people there?

[XtremeEmoBlack]

@ginipiglover2002 it is scary, but you need to be brave for this situations... if needed..

[SqwishSqwash]

IS NO ICEBERG! IS A HUGE GINORMUS WHALE

[TheStormchaser1]

@SqwishSqwash Moby Dick's, Dick.... Penetrated the hull of Titanic.

[xSmithy15]

it broke apart, was because her ass was so heavy... 30 thousand tons even... probs heavier... too much pressure causes it to split.

[mimo7772512]

Why Titanic sank:

1. The bulkheads didn't reach all the way to the ceiling, so it spilled over.

2. It may could float with 3, but not 5.

3. Iceberg.

4. Mr. Ismay made the unsinkable safe ship Titanic transform into a death trap.

[rdj9606]

1:00 ITS NOT TITANIC! gorsh

[TransmissionEpicts]

@rdj9606 Yep! That is either The Mauretania or the Lusitania I think.

[SatchmoSings]

This is masturbatory hype and anyone that looks at it in any other way is a loser-shithead.

[Giratina386]

0:58

That's not Titanic, that is her rival Lusitania. 

[jordanfuller10]

@Giratina386 They will never learn.

[GGBundy]

Is this the "Ribbons of Steel" episode? Because if it is, the program was interesting but in the end, it brought nothing new to light. Honestly I was disappointed. If that attorney really felt like he came across something sooo spectacular, then why the hell didn't he GPS mark the spot?? I'll tell you why he didn't......goose chase!!

[amadams100]

IF THE BULKHEADS WENT UP TO THE SHIPS DECKS THE TITANIC WOULD NOT HAVE SUNK!!!!!

[GavinGrier]

my garandpa found the the titanic

[GavinGrier]

my garand pa found the the titanic

[billy1212ist]

@finaltitanic247 Did not want the Olympic to come,because it was a sister ship.How totally moronic or you to say such a foolish thing.Obviously you believe anything that you are told.Dummy.

[snowboardingchicklet]

DanielleCulberson thats not the case bcause if u watch titanica which i had to watch in history class it shows the men who found the titanic and the bottom watch it!

[agwhitaker]

Hype, hype, hype....

Why rehash this topic?

Google Robert Ballard + Titanic

[WhopBobbaLuBop]

Hey Clown, what's this with a program promo? Do you think you're being ingenious? Stupid is a better term.

[AIDANDPIP]

at southhampton before the titanic set off on her maiden voyage she had a fire on board in one of the coal bunkers this also weakend the watertight bulkheads ...

[AKrossTheUniverses]

I think all this "new" info about how titanic sunk is a bunch of crap. The way we FIRST thought it sunk is the way it really sunk. Does everyone really think the EYE WITNESSES who were actually THERE were completely wrong about how they SAW it sink and how LONG they SAW it sink? I don't think so.

[g1a1r1y3]

@AKrossTheUniverses

Eye witness testimony is very unrealiable which is why forensics helps. Some saw the ship broke in two, others said it didn't- that's just one example from the disaster.

I have this documentary. It's mostly fodder, except the last 15 or so minutes. These guys found two hull pieces, far from the debris field, where the ship first broke in two on the surface. They also had an animation which shows the breakup consistent with physics, engineering, and the wreckage.

[coulie27]

@g1a1r1y3 I agree. Mighty impressive their conclusions -- really explains why people moved slowly to exit the ship and why some survivors didn't even realize the ship had broken in two. The animation seems to resolve the conflicting accounts, and one of the last mysteries of the disaster

[g1a1r1y3]

@AKrossTheUniverses

I recommend this documentary, but I'd skip all the way to the end.

[1100HondaCB]

The Titanic is two and a half miles down. The pressure is insane and a human would just be crushed long before that depth. The pressure is something like two double decker buses per square inch. Pressure=gravity x depth x density of sea water + atmospheric pressure. Gravity=9.8mss, depth=3900m, density of sea water=1300kgmmm, atmospheric pressure= 101000 pascals. There is also no light at that depth. It is black.

[CheerGirlz2007]

No ur ring the titanic would hav bounced off the ice berg if they hit it dead on.... It wood hav been better off

[PhallusKnifeFight]

@CheerGirlz2007 You are a genius. Pure genius.

[basketballshawn1234]

at 1:14 they dont say about the ship sank

[Abricialio]

1:00 That isn't the Titanic, that is the Cunard Liner Aquitania from 1914 to 1950.

[CJCody2006]

The original footage at 1:02 is actually of the Lusitania.

[1999tomnbmnb23]

how did they know that the ship is call Titanic?

[JoeCentraI]

@1999tomnbmnb23 Survivors, & it must have been in the newspapers in 1900's .. and the story probably was passed on to generations , it's common sense on knowing something so tragic .

[wompasdub]

god so fucking ridiculous I can't find this full show anywhere. history channel blows

[yhovanoskyramirez]

this is a reality of the titanic is an equibocado in this

[augustoblues89]

miss this ship leaves

[aNightmare1428]

I have that toy model at 0:24 lol..

[BoneHomer]

so how did the Titanic sink? Is it true that it hit a fish?

[RaiseTheTitanic1980]

I wouldn't believe too much what the History Channel tells you. Afterall, they cant even use the correct stock footage. At 1:00 thats the Cunard liner 'Lusitania'.

[pplperson1]

o gosh your right!

[Thewisedaz]

to be fair, at first glance they are pretty similar and the average person wouldn't notice. Probably costs money to air a photo of titanic but less for the Lusitania

[clickclocks]

I don't know much about the other ships. only titanic. Is the Lusitania still around today or has it sunk too or something

[RaiseTheTitanic1980]

'Lusitania' was sunk in May 1915 after falling fowl of a German U-Boat torpedo 8 miles off the coast of Ireland.

[clickclocks]

haha. it's not very good is it. two massive, almost identical ships sink in just 3 years over all.

[LordZirk]

don't forget Titanic's sister Britannic, she sank April1916

[agumon52]

The Lusitania sunk a long time ago

[kingvlad451]

lusitania has sunk because the german hits her a mine

[rweerakkody4565]

fuck the u-boat

[rogan200139]

i wonder if it's possible that God sunk is perpously before world war 1 was able to get a hold of it... A ship like that is better off hitting an iceberg rather than  getting blown to bits.

[Grillzor]

rofl

[aifammafiaaifam]

insurance job?

[CHESHIRECAT2222]

i am like a huge titanic geek i know everything that there is to know about it ask me and i can you give you an answer not a guess or a theorey

[etemon666]

how exactly did the titaninic hit and why didnt the crew just go straight into the ice berg, ok it would have dent but not sink

[jaiden123WET]

i read a document that scientists found a document and found that it had weak rivets that were realy cheap so the ships riverts were the blame

[aniu15228]

Rivets and actually the structure itself in certain areas, yes.

[MasterBattle2000]

Correct the iceberg knocked off all the rivets but if they hit the iceberg head on it would have sunk so fast

[Casscade009]

No, not really. Titanic had watertight bulkheads, as you know. A straight on hit would result in one, maybe two bulkheads filled, instead of five ripped up when the portround was made.

[MasterBattle2000]

@Casscade009

the head on thing was something i heard

[ltuomela]

@Casscade009 bad rivets..poor tinsel strength on the metal used..this is one of the main reasons for its demise..they came out like corks..they were faulty in x-ray of metal,fault cracks low carbon steal..basically they cut corners on what really matters on a ship..and that is its main frame and rivets..but hey the used the best material for ascetics..lmao..great wood,nice brass and so forth..fuckin idiots man..

[Somborac420]

@Casscade009 Your statement is wrong. At the speed they were going, a head-on would've been worse. If Titanic really HAD been designed for that, they wouldn't have yelled "HARD TO STARBOARD!" when they saw the berg. They would've said "it's going to be a head-on, nothing to worry about".

[auroreboreale]

@Somborac420 The error was to alter direction AND to reverse thrust. This latter process is very long to get efficient and the rudder is quite useless during this time. If full ahead had been ordrerd instead, turning would have been quicker and the collision even avoided. A frontal collision with reversed prop would have been very violent but less harmful for the hull. The comfort of passengers prevented to decide it. What they did was the worst possible choice.

[bsg4ever]

@Somborac420 Not neccessarily. The officers in charge weren't used to the technology of a ship like her so the commands given were based off of experiences on other ships, when the Titanic might actually have been able to withstand a front on collision. That's why the compartments that could be flooded without her sinking were located only at the front. Now, maybe it wouldn't have been a great idea at that speed, but if they would have slowed down a little or stopped, they would have been ok.

[Somborac420]

@bsg4ever Incorrect. The officers were given in-depth & extensive training followed by testing on Titanic's controls. A head-on collision would've been worse, she would've sunk in about 45 minutes.

[jamariooo]

@bsg4ever any 4 compartments could be flooded without her sinking, if flooded ones were at middle of a ship then maybe even 5 or 6 because ship wouldn't lean to front or back and water wouldn't spill over to next compartments like in film.

[Casscade009]

@Somborac420 Hard to starboard is a safety procedure. And remember from that time passangers come first, a head on wouldn't really be good for the company. There would be talk going on about the poor stability and manouvering....

[Somborac420]

@Casscade009 Again, your statement is wrong. If a head-on would've been the safest way, they would've let it happen. And according to you, it wouldn't have sank, so that would've been the perfect explanation for the damage when they got to shore. 

[ClubPenguinMovies123]

@Somborac420 actually, your wrong. A head-on hit would have been safer. Before you go commenting, do your research.

[Somborac420]

@Casscade009 Incorrect, a head-on collision would've been worse, Titanic would've sunk in about 45 minutes,

[kepochi1]

@Casscade009

that's what i was thinking when i watched the movie!

[travelsonic]

@Casscade009 "A straight on hit would result in one, maybe two bulkheads filled, instead of five ripped up when the portround was made."

Unless, as some speculate, the steel was so brittle that the shockwaves being sent through the hull because of a head on collision caused a lot of rivet separation further along the hull, and massive simultaneous flooding causing a sinking even faster than the HMHS Britannic.

[Jatycre]

@travelsonic The steel itself was not a problem area for the ship. As a matter of fact, several recovered pieces have been thoroughly tested, and they all came back as being good steel for that era.

The rivets, however, were a big problem. Particularly those in the front end. Most of the rivets in the front end of the ship were made by hand, with an improper slag/iron mixture. This is why so many rivets popped under pressure, and left Titanic so wounded.

[billy1212ist]

@Jatycre Yes 'good steel for that era',BUT,........NOT TESTED, in frigid waters.Tests done now,shows that it became brittle.Which would not be a problem,unless you hit an Iceberg.

[Jatycre]

@billy1212ist Not true. As I mentioned before, the steel was fully tested, when the replica rivets were tested. Several small sections of steel, brought up from the wreck, were tested. This is how we know that the steel was good for that era. It was good enough that it wouldn't have become THAT brittle in the waters of the Atlantic. It would've been strong enough to withstand an icerberg, and in fact, it was. That's why when the actual event happened, the steel was pretty much undamaged anyway.

[Jatycre]

@travelsonic .... That being said, even the rivets wouldn't have popped from shock waves. The rivets were tested as well. An experiment was conducted which tested replicated rivets for durability. In the experiment it took nearly 10,000 pounds of pressure to pop the bad rivets. A shock wave (even from a full on collision) wouldn't have that kind of force.

So if Titanic had hit the berg head on, it would've likely survived and not founder.

[nontrashfire]

@CHESHIRECAT2222 what were they cooking in the second gally when the sip left port?

[bradrich10]

On 1:00 Its The Lusitania

[legoblockdude]

maybe the titanic broke up on the way down

[masterchief1992HHQ]

well it would be kinda true not to be resqued by the sister ship of the one you were just on if it looks identical to it but would u say like the lusitania would do or would it scare the passengers then too? and also the Olympic being 500 miles away would mean a few days of waiting. and also the olympic had alot of bad luck in a number of incidences oh and they also used it in the first world war as a gun ship

[krazyknoxy]

one theory is that if the titanic hadnt tried to swerve away and had hit it straight on then they wouldnt have sunk. there was another ship (Californian) that was close enough to help the titanic and save everyone on it but they didnt help. only 705 out of about 2200 survived because there was only enough lifeboats for half the people on board and most lifeboats only went out half full. message me if you wanna know more.

[masterchief1992HHQ]

If only the Californian crew kept on their radio they would have saved the Titanics passengers... it was a shame though that the Olympic couldnt save the titanic but the ship was 500 miles away

[nsjcWWE]

ive heard somewhere that a lifeboat on the titanic only had 12 people in it with room of 65 people, how fuckin stupid were the ships crew

[kdraper2007]

many people refused to board the life boats, after all they were on the "Unsinkable" titanic. the men of the time would never take a seat in the life boats if women were still onboard the ship. this is why the president of the white star line was looked on as a scumbag after the sinking. as a gentleman he was expected to stay aboard till the women & children were safe.

[nsjcWWE]

soo the president did get in a lifeboat, in the 1997 movie (the most successful movie of all time) he killed himself, im a little confused

[Phantomrig]

Bruce Ismay Survived, by dressing like a woman and sneaking into a life boat.

[etemon666]

can you tell me the whole story?!

[krazyknoxy]

i am a Titanic expert (not literaly)

[Jonno71]

Thats the 'Lusitania' at 1:00

[crazycrazynight09]

how do you know?

[Jonno71]

Because I'm a Titanic historian, for some 30 years.

[a4o31]

and 1 its on its side and 2 its intact

[Jonno71]

The 'Lusitania' is now where near intact. She broke her back when she went down. However, most of the damaged seen on the wreck today was largely caused by the bomb/explosive when she was used as taget practice during WWII. Her superstructure has completely sheared off and now lays in an almost unrecognisable heap of metal.

[a4o31]

well i ment like it went down in one piece but ok :)

[CULAVE]

The Titanic was discovered by Ballard. the very day I was born.

[HomeE95]

im sure ducktape could of fixed the rip in her bow =P to bad they did have it back then

lol!

[harryhutton94]

the real reason for hitting the ice burg was they swerved to miiss a rubber duck and hit the massive ice cube floating in the sea

[JJwebkinz]

the titanic sank because when they were making the bottom of the ship connect tey used this type of meterial that gets really strong whne they burn it, but they used so much fo it, it made it weaker, so they had to hold 1400 PSI but it cracked at only 900 PSI

[pojngty]

lol him destroy him

[A2theO2010]

I was in the RMS Queen Mary.

[Hornet569]

cool

[mitchellboon]

which one QM1 ore QM2 ?

[A2theO2010]

the Queen Mary 2

[mitchellboon]

oke nice ;)

[lusitaniafreak3]

they found out what made her sink...a flaw in the ship....her expansion joint they say made a weakness.

[rdvd7]

i taped it from discovery channel :P

[6282makepeace]

if you have the full show could you please post it I am dieing to know what they found

[projet941]

does anybody have the documentary in full version ?

[jumpingjacker1]

what did they find!!!!!!

was it a piece of metal melted!!!

sounds familiar!

911 anyone?

oklahoma?

flight 93

pentigon.

so mant more....

[cwag123]

they found teh bottom of titanic proving that when she split she collapse into herself watch the vid of how i forgot what it was called

[DanielleCulberson]

u cant dive in titanic its impossible and u die.. it took 2 hours for it too sink

[cattyomuppet]

@DanielleCulberson it might have took 2 hours to sink but thats because there was a small gash in the hull when it hit the iceberg and the fact the ship was so big and heavy....it took 10 minutes for it to hit the ocean floor once it left the surface

[blade24700]

@DanielleCulberson Umm 15 hours lol

[kepochi1]

@blade24700

two hours and forty minutes you idiot

[GetsugaD7]

February 26 is my birthday =D

[caheera]

Um Well, thats beleivable but they couldnt ive into the water off a boat and see the ship geez.

[animeprincess010]

i want to watch it1!!!!!=(

[animeprincess010]

omg i cant believe u pppl the ship at the beginig is not titanic and they werent making it to be titanci. its just showing that person where he dived as he likes diving!!! lol

[SplinterCell45]

i wish i had seen this when it came on television but its too late

[homeric9]

Seeing the piece was awesome but Richie got the info from a member of the Ballard expedition. This production was more show than fact and Richie certainly wouldn't be my choice as a narrator given the way he comes across. The fact they use the Maure/Lucy footage is unacceptable and for the history channel to go along with that is disappointing.

[nickelplateone]

The damage to the Titanic was far greater than a rip across the side

[coulie27]

This discovery is amazing...  They found two whole pieces of the ship's underside, from port to starboard. They believe that the angle of the sinking was much lower (10-15 degrees as opposed to 30) and that it happened much more quickly, taking the people on board by surprise. It explains a lot... incredible discovery!!

[CakeyBob24x7]

omg are you ppl nuts?? don't you get it? the beginning clip is NOT the titanic expedition! no one can dive THAT deep into freezing cold water!Its probably the lusitania sinking footage, gets your facts straight!!

[starlandliu]

You fucking retard, the diver is showing his past videos on his diving experience. He is NOT diving into the Titanic but some other ships that he dived, get that right!

[9jea1]

this is a fucking fake, a human cannot scubadive so deeper(4000 m deep), the clip at the beginning of the video... that's a fucking fake, and if it is, the hole video is a fake as well... fucking idiots

[starlandliu]

Another one, you fucking retard, the diver is showing his past videos on his diving experience. He is NOT diving into the Titanic but some other ships that he dived, get that right!

[9jea1]

it might be, but the fucking video is saying, NEW PIECES OF TITANIC... and if that man is showing his last videos on diving experience... thats fake, in fact, i don't care at all ;)

[jbrian80]

Hahaha they used a clip of Mauretania/Lusitania (hard to tell with grainy video) Why they didnt bother using RMS Olympic movie clips?

[ajg2425]

wtf did they find?

[sanderrodijk]

nice!! take a look at my video's as well

[jewelxy]

dam!! i wanna no what happened!

[OperaVampirate]

Damn wish I would've known that. I'm curious now . . .

[charmedfan91]

o man i missed it. :(
