6-13 In Search Of... The Titanic (Part 2 of 2)

Season 6 Episode 13 Part 2

Hosted by Leonard Nimoy and broadcast weekly from 1976 to 1982, In Search Of... is the greatest mystery documentary show ever. I grew up watching this show, enjoying the spine-tingling presentation of quasi-fact and dramatic synthesizer-heavy music of Rinder and Lewis.

I am not selling this material, neither am I interested in buying bootlegs. It is currently commercially unavailable, so I am joining with others to make evaluation of this excellent series possible.

@MsDoctorWhoFan1 no way !. If you have a source please state it, so I can research it. Interesting comment and thank you for telling me.

@snakes3425 also the loud noise was from objects coming free from their holdings.Before the ship broke in half, the ship tilted bow down, the objects fell and crashed down into the bow.

@starquant the fire supossedly started after the ship left from Southampton. it wasn't put out untill the day before collison.

Not everyone testified, especally third class survivors.

Why did the Titanic sink, the rivits in the bow section were faulty and installed improperly, and the iceberg popped enough of them to create a series of slashes running the length of six compartments, which were flooding at different rates, and the pumps could only keep the water down in Boiler Room #5, until a bulkhead, damaged by a coal bunker fire gave way

What did you expect they were going to use the Titanic..

Hello, they did have witnesses. The head of White Star, second officer, and the radio officer.. Here the best part. There were 700 people in the life boats. They did see a model sink. By the way how could 700 witnesses be wrong?

I'll tell you why the Titanic sank. The White Star cut corners. 1 cut 40 life boats out. so the first class didn't need to see them. 2 the biggest problem that is they had to reduce the water tight doors,

[samtim83]

why bother having witnesses? when they jst make up there own stories.

I wld be more inclined to believe some one that was actually there, than some square with a toy model that wasn't//

Even though eyewitnesses reported the ship broke in half when she sunk, the British inquiry decided that she did not break in half. It wasn't proven until Dr. Robert Ballard discovered the wreckage in 1985. It has disputed how high in the air Titanic stuck up when she sunk

@Myuutantobasuta

I'm actually surprised. The Break-Up, even though not confermed, was still a possible theory prior to the wreck being located so why the expert never brought up the idea that the ship broke apart is actually very odd

(blasted 500 word limit)

Lightoller is believed to have over heard Hitchens say he turned the wheel the wrong way, as well as Ismay say he convinced Smith to sail on at slow ahead which caused the water to flow in faster then sitting still. his family didn't reveal it owing to the fact Lightoller was a war hero for helping evacuate Royal Army and French Army units during the Battle of Dunkirk in 1940 and Lightoller himself didn't want to put other survivors out of work

@starquant

True, the problem though was this in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries two different ways of giving turning orders existed: Tiller (Sailing Ships) and Rudder (Steamships) in Tiller you turn the wheel in the opposite direction you want the ship to turn and that was what Murdoch and the officers on duty were trianed in, when Murdoch ordered hard a starbord he ment Turn the wheel left, Hutchens though for a few brief seconds turned the wheel right.
