  • @MasterBattle2000 The britannic is not comparable to titanic disaster because it had a huge ass piece blown away by a mine.

  • @FlaviusConstantius Yeah other docu's have done a better job than this one (it was nice to see Bernard doing narration though as he was captain in the movie) , especially regarding Ismay's role. It turns out the policy back then was to move faster through ice fields and, in fact, the titanic was not going top speed. The other thing I did not like was the scale model sinking. While the dimensions were correct, the material and weight balance was not.

  • The plastic to water ratio is not ture calculations to steel V water. The first demo doesn't show the rise and breaking in the center. The steel stacks weight v the water in the bulk heads caused the tention to the center of the ship to crack and break. The steel stacks weight could have kept the titanic from flipping over and kept it steady until help arrived. The model is bogus.

  • @rickietube1 You're welcome--I was thinking the same thing until I found out what the Titanic's pumps could handle--I was amazed by the amount of water that came in through such a small area of iceberg damage!

  • @galoon good info, thank you.

  • @rickietube1 The capacity of Titanic's pumps was negligible compared to the seawater coming in. Titanic's pumps could expel a maximum of 1,700 tons of water per hour, but it was coming in at a rate of about 25,000 tons per hour; in other words, 15 times as much water was coming in as was being pumped out. The pumps bought them maybe a few minutes of time; no more.

  • The experiment did not take into account the tons of water that could have been removed by the pumps until the power was lost.

  • Oh really?

    RMS TITANIC Inc.

    preserves their profits by grave robbing

  • @fuschiadea You are aware that the experiment failed. They proved that what Captain Smith did helped the ship.

  • First off, where did somebody get the idea that keep that watertight doors open would save more lives? Seriously, the people who built the thing were not dumb. They did the best they could for such an era.
