[Titanic Breakup Failures #4] Titanic Hull Sagging, Sinking

[robloxTVification]

its kinda bad if it sunk that way cause they wouldn't have enough time to release the life boats and it would have let 1,657 people die i was just guessing it woul be in the 1,600's

[thomas99999killall]

the deck of the front part peeled off underwater

[TheAmessz]

I love this sinking.

[landirizaldi]

what is that titanic made of from paper or armor

[Rapidnadion]

@landirizaldi Plastic.

[RobloxTitanicMan2]

@landirizaldi You can buy ịt it is a kit model.

[MrDogboy2468]

At the beging when it finnaly went down it was almost correct

[spartan4821]

how deep was that water?

[Rapidnadion]

@spartan4821 About eight feet or so.

[DjmixerPL]

She didn't sink like that, but it still looks awesome ;D

[ZachGriff11]

I wondered how it looked from under the water.

[Rapidnadion]

@ZachGriff11 We've got some underwater footage of our intact Titanic sinking on our channel page.

[iMagicBananas]

How to sink a cruise ship: Give it an italian captain.

[CutlassGuy99]

when she sank to the bottom I actually had thought u hit the bottom right away, cause it looked like her bow crumbled like that of her sister Britannic, but it was just ur models bow upper deck popping off

[MrWhatsrossable]

this is how she actally sank

[drosera88]

@MrWhatsrossable I've heard that two actually. Some witnesses reported that after breaking, the ship jackknifed or 'sagged' causing the bow to briefly surface. Seems plausible considering that the ship likely didn't break at such a radical angle as is often depicted in movies and pictures.

Also, your forecastle came apart.

[AcepilotC172]

That's interesting and the theory fits....does anyone really know how far back those compartments flooded.

[crazybonesarecool22]

That wud be a cool sinking

[zcschott]

thats not how it sank!!

[Rapidnadion]

@zcschott Maybe try reading the giant block of text before the sinking portion.

[ConstructionCentral]

@zcschott its it actually a survivor said it bent inwards and went down

[iownyouinface11]

@zcschott yeah i though it would break apart because the back of the titanic looked like it was bending and breaking apart.

[legoman8271]

@zcschott read title

[Jacomelo117]

i have the strangest interest in watching boats sink...probably cause my childhood was filled of boat wars in the tub. XD

[Balditanic]

I started the project sorry for delay!!

[XOPAUXO]

well, to make ur day happy, Jack Thayer, one of titanic survivors told that titanic bow raised above the water after the ship broke off.

[brooksandjohnduff]

there is something wrong but i cant put my finger on it. :\

[93100rc]

@Rapidnadion

Could u do one of the titanic's sistership Britannic?

[subzero5297]

This is how titanic actually how it sank couse the researcher or Dr. found out the bottom of the ship wasn't pressured

[pianoprodigy987]

@subzero5297 no that theory was later proven to be faulty in 2009. the weight of the emerging water at the breakup wouldnt have been enough to compress the decks as much as they anticipated

[subzero5297]

@pianoprodigy987

yeah i know but there's one thing im wondering about the ship.... why did the brak up place start's between funnel nr3 and nr 4?

[pianoprodigy987]

@subzero5297 well i think it is because the angle hadnt been high enough yet to cause a structure failure. and by the time it was, the other funnels had allready submerged in the water, making the breakup point underwater, less than likely

[Jeremy1988100]

so how do you get it after it sinks??

[Rapidnadion]

@Jeremy1988100 Check out our "Raising the (Model) Titanic" video to see us recover one of our sinking Titanics. It's pretty simple. :)

[procksomaterman]

@Rapidnadion 1/350?

[DragonMaster61693]

@ZachGriff11 I know that. It's just fustrating seeing people say the Britannic hit a mine or was torpedoed. Cause we dont really know what caused the ships sinking. What's prevent divers from finding the truth is that the "Firemans Tunnel' is blocked. So until they can get passed there, the Britannics sinking is still a mystery.

[ccmattyfilms]

0:48 the deck sorta comes off

[Master22Productions]

she might have sank like this! /watch?v=D7q4OnnHGQ8

[drewsky684]

So of all the ways the titanic could have sank, how typical/likely is the way that it actually sank?

[Rapidnadion]

@drewsky684 The forces at work on our model in this video are unlike anything the real Titanic would have encountered on the night she sank. This is nothing more than a modeling fail, which we posted because it's (hopefully) still interesting to watch. :)

[titanicfan65]

@Rapidnadion 0:46 Bow deck ripping up! :-o

[ZachGriff11]

Looks like it had been torpedoed.

[DragonMaster61693]

@AlostheVampirePrince  There is no proof that a mine sunk the Britannic.

[ZachGriff11]

@DragonMaster61693 There is also no proof it was torpedoed either.

[amazman123]

THUMBS UP IF USAW THE CROWS NEST FALL AND THE BOW DECK ALMOAST COME OFF UNDERWATER

[AlostheVampirePrince]

This is how the Titanic's sister ship, Britanic, sank. Not to ship builders, the suffix tanic, brings nothing but death. Titanic hit an ice berg, britanic was struck my German mines during WWI

[hillbilly2341]

this is actually how it sank

[Rapidnadion]

@hillbilly2341 This model is a halved vessel, secured by a rubber band at C-deck and flooding catastrophically amidships due to the artificial sagging action caused by the rubber band. This is not at all how Titanic actually sank.

[hillbilly2341]

@Rapidnadion the ships double hull took on water and made a sag and break if you want you should rent the documentry history channell made in 2005

[Rapidnadion]

@hillbilly2341 We've seen that one. We've watched most of the Titanic documentaries from the last decade live, actually. What we're saying is that this sinking may present an exaggerated view of one possible breakup condition, but under no circumstances is this "actually how it sank."

[Rapidnadion]

@hillbilly2341 Our previous comments seem a little harsh in retrospect. Thank you for watching, and for weighing in. Sorry if our responses were terse. :)

[rhysicus]

@Rapidnadion Someone mentioned above that the titanic Broke in half because of a Sagging effect. This is not accurate, as has been proven, as her bow section sank deeper, she began to "Hog" which is where the either end of the vessel moves and causes huge sheer force stresses on the hull, because of the Expansion joints she was built with, these sheer forces caused the steelwork here to shear, which caused her sinking. Great video Rapidnation, I have been looking for something like this for ages

[Maxik43]

It could have happened.

[hongrand]

looks cool

[MultiRaZoR47]

0:47 the crow nest falls

[sierraxr4icosie]

"You sunk my battle ship"

[LooserLVG]

Oh yeah The really really greaty video

[LooserLVG]

Oh yeah The really really greaty

[LotCSpartan]

it would have been cool if in real like it sank like that

[titanicrul]

That looks like the early drawing of titanic's break up.

[Rapidnadion]

@titanicrul A lot of folks have compared this video to the Thayer/Skidmore drawing - this particular sinking was quite a happy accident in that sense. :)

[TheDavid20011]

how do you get it back

[Rapidnadion]

@TheDavid20011 Check out our "Raising the (Model) Titanic" video!

[MACJpan]

snake

[Masinfira1]

Hi! Actualy the titanic sank like that ... I know it souns weird but realy it couldnt break up at high angle :-)

[Facebook3682]

@Masinfira1 I know right! The break up started at a 11 degree angle then at 30 degree double  bottom fails and the top decks are mangled!

[Masinfira1]

@Facebook3682 Thanks!! It's good that a man that makes good videos with titanic sinkings (with breakups this year) agrees with me ;-) before year 2010 i thought it sank like in the James Cameron Movie .....

[Rapidnadion]

@Masinfira1 That wasn't us on that last response, it was Facebook3682 ... just to be clear. :) And no one knows how Titanic sank. Personally, we do favor the low-angle breakup theory, but until there are more expeditions and more information is uncovered ... every breakup theory is just that ... a theory. It helps to remember that.

Glad you're enjoying this video!

[GR8TM4N]

If Titanic was hit by a torpedo, this is probably what would have happened.

[lsteer100]

this seems a probable sinking situation

[checker2233]

wie viel geld kostet so ein titanic modell

[MDCAngryWalnut]

How many models of the titanic have you made???

[Rapidnadion]

@MDCAngryWalnut We've built five overall. We do recover the sinking ones after every sinking, so we don't have to build a new one for every video.

[Facebook3682]

@Rapidnadion I want a model! :D Btw, great video!

[Rapidnadion]

@Facebook3682 Click the link in the blue box at lower-right at 1:01 to see how this one was made - you can do it yourself, with enough patience and time!

[Rapidnadion]

So nice to see an intelligent, reasoned conversation happening as a result of this video. It's very refreshing!

[13295n]

well it end as the titanic did

[gibb1991]

I just watched a recent History Channel special that speculates that the Titanic actually did sink this way. I cross-section of the hull was found that showed evidence of being pulled apart, instead of being crushed together.

[mimo7772512]

Well....... Atleast it's not intact? xD

[Danieltitanic1912]

Actually Titanic did break up like that according to the evidence from Titanic's Final Moments Missing Pieces documentary film explanation, but, I don't know which one is correct, Robert Ballard or the other one

[1BoyAwesome]

looks like Lifeboats 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 and 16 won't be launched.

[TimeLordParadox]

Nice. Didn't one of the survivors descrive Titanic sinking this way? With the bow breaking the surface before going back down again. Doubtful it happened but this video just reminded me of that.

[Rapidnadion]

@TimeLordParadox Yes - brought up by an earlier commenter. The survivor's name was Jack Thayer, and the artist who rendered the sketch was Skidmore. It's a fanciful drawing in which a lot of liberty was no doubt taken, but some people really cling to the idea that the bow somehow popped back up.

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

@Rapidnadion well, what if the bow did come up? would that brake all the laws of physics?

and if the bow didnt come up, what Jack Thayer saw?

[Rapidnadion]

@aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa (Michael here) If you're asking for my personal opinion, I think Skidmore sketched the Titanic that way to convey it was broken, and nothing more. It was a quick sketch that took many liberties (not least of which is the fact that the ship looks nothing like the Titanic). I would be very surprised if the bow re-emerged from the water during Titanic's actual break-up, as I can envision no force which would act upon it to cause such a thing.

[TimeLordParadox]

@Rapidnadion If the shallow angle theory of the breakup is true then this might get some credibility. It's possible that the stern could've pushed the rear of the bow lower then the front as it went down. But like you said in an earlier comment, I can't think of a scenario like this that could've caused the bow to pop back up out of the water.

[TitanicMatthew]

@Rapidnadion Actually i'd call this an epic WIN, considering they just recently discovered on the actual wreck evidence that shows it breaking up EXACTLY like this way, 'Sagging' Its been said that it was probably the WRECKAGE of the Grand Staircase Thayer saw rise up after breaking loose from the dome. ^_^ bit of Titanic trivia, but yeah i'd say this breakup model is closer to what REALLY happened. search for "Titanic Final Moments Missing Pieces"

[mrspongebobsqurepan]

@TimeLordParadox ya the who of titanic survivor draw the way it sink out on a lifeboat

[MDkid1]

wow that was the best one yet....totally creepy if she had actually sank like that. The forecastle deck totally ripped off!

[JohnnyEggzTheII]

It's like the sinking of the HMS Hood!

[Rapidnadion]

@FBfan477 Yes; this model's boat deck is removable, so we lost that once (wasn't secured with a safety line at the time) and had to recover it with a crab net. You can see our intact Titanic model hit the bottom in our "Model Titanic Sinks WITH ONBOARD CAMERAS" video. Pretty hard impact!

[starwarsfandude]

I was watching Tom and Jerry at the time I was watching this, and the episode name was ''The Unshrinkable Jerry Mouse''' xD

[afromanparker]

do you guys have the model attached to a string *besides the insulated wiring* or do you have to go down and get it each time, or do you use the wire to pull it up?

[Rapidnadion]

@afromanparker There's a safety line (50-lb.-test fishing line) attached to the bow, and one to the stern. That's what we use to bring the sections back to the surface.

[friedmanism2]

actually, this looks really sick. its as if seven torpedos hit her hull between the third and fourth funnels

[Rapidnadion]

@friedmanism2 Actually, it kind of does! 

[ReptigloRand]

I been trying to make one off u  pictures and it works!!

[ReptigloRand]

@rapidnadion preety cool mr smaraty pants is a sport

[Rapidnadion]

@RandomLandYT Hah! That should be our tag-line.  Thanks. :)

[YansiEvre98]

That is one of the sinkign theories but in the theory it happened underwater..

[ReptigloRand]

It looks like the bow came apart

[Rapidnadion]

@ReptigloRand Yes - the fo'c'sle deck is removable on our model (we kept it separate so we could still access the forepeak), and the buoyancy of the foremast and deck itself caused it to float right off in this video. We have a safety line attached to it, though, so it wasn't lost.

[Rapidnadion]

@FBfan477 This is actually the 1/350 Academy-Minicraft model, and the kit only cost us about $50 (eBay). As for the breakup zone, we designed it without copying the design from another model; check out our website in the video description for a whole bunch of build photos in the Titanic section.

[webkinz831]

I love TITANIC!!!!

[flametitan100]

I belive the artist's impression of what Jack Thayer saw split like this sagging.

at 0:48, What made the bow open like that?

[Rapidnadion]

@flametitan100 You're right about the Thayer/Skidmore drawing. Re: 0:48 - the Fo'c'sle deck is removable on our model, so we can access the forwardmost bow compartment. The buoyancy of the plastic deck and foremast caused it to lift right out of its mounts. We have a safety line attached to the deck, so it wasn't a problem; it happens often.

[flametitan100]

@Rapidnadion I remember reading it being removable. I thought it had to do with that.

[YellingDingo22]

Ever have fish get in the way?

[Rapidnadion]

Not yet, thankfully! :)

[MrPokemonlover926]

dude i love your videos and i love Titanic!

[Rapidnadion]

@MrPokemonlover926 Thanks!

[Amorstopineed]

@Rapidnadion I really like your Hobby! and millions of people are watching this! but i wonder if the victims would be happy about that O.o but i think this got nothin to do with the death of thousands of peoples

[Rapidnadion]

@Amorstopineed Yeah; we try to confine these videos to forensic recreations of the sinking, from different viewpoints. No disrespect is intended, certainly.

[Amorstopineed]

@Rapidnadion its so funny, i got the same model. maybe its a bit smaller. but i also want to scupper it, but;

i got no lake or something else in my near. so i tried to scupper it in a basin, but it was too small. another problem was, that the 2 halfs of the model are not closed. the gap was to long, and it scuppered to fast, and that really dont look well. Now, i paint the hull again, with the red coulor. i only need a bigger waterbody!

[Rapidnadion]

@Amorstopineed Yes; deep water is unfortunately a prerequisite for sinking videos like these. You might try filling an abandoned dumpster with water! That'd work, though it might be ... gross. Maybe it's not a great idea after all. :-/

[Amorstopineed]

@Rapidnadion ;) do you get your models back?

[Rapidnadion]

@Amorstopineed Every time! Check out our "Raising the (Model) Titanic" video.

[Amorstopineed]

@Rapidnadion yeah, sry, i missed the linc

[Brianexe43]

keep working on it, until you get it right :D

[Rapidnadion]

@Brianexe43 Absolutely. :)
