Video Overview & Insights

With new evidence as to why the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic sank, uncover the real truth behind the biggest maritime disaster of our time. Discover the untold story of the Titanic's demise and the lessons learned to prevent future tragedies.

This was an excellent channel 4 documentary. Why in god's name has it got an American ascent dubbed onto it?

it was 1912 ffs - Olympic was built before her and had a long career. Get over it and let the ship RIP (rust).

The case of the Titanic was the first case I briefed. We had to explain the jurisdiction of the lawsuits filed and why they were allowed to sue where they did. I'm proud to say I was the only one in my class who could answer that question. The answer was Titanic went down in international waters which belong to no one. Therefore, White Star had collateral in Ireland and the US, so they could choose where they wanted to sue.

Titanic's design was fine, it's the captain's navigation that was bad!

As usual the British blamed the IRISH!!! Would she have stayed afloat a little longer with counter flooding? Maybe not closing Ll the watertight doors? It must be nice playing with toys in your bath tub and "solving"it...

J.P. Morgan built and SUNK it to enslave the American people with income tax by ushering in the central banking system. He bought a ticket and refused to sail along with his wealthy friends who were for abolishing of tariffs to tax.
The men stopping this includes j.j. Astor but they were tricked aboard and died

I know that the macroni operator Philips died as a hero and sinked with the RMS Titanic but I dont understand why they spending so much time on passenger messages so late at night ? ( I guess that the almost all passengers goes to sleep around 21.30-23:00?

@Nicosshalagalaniss

Bogus theories. Titanic well built ship. Hitting an iceberg going so fast is what did her in, not how she was built.

@scook5599
@

The real lesson to be learned of the disaster, is we should be humble and prudent. Instead the people in charge were proud and did not respect the warnings of ice in their path. HJaving the illusion the boats were not going to be needed ever, caused too few of them to be on the ship. Besdies the crew did not practice lowering the boats and when disaster struck they did not even know how many people each boat could carry. If properly used about 400 morte qould have survived.

There is no mystery on the sinking. The sinking came at the negligent of man period😮

If the Titanic had hit the Ice berg head on it would not have sank !

@jamesbryan7377

What sank the Titanic was one stupid comment Made by Edward John Smith ! And that was ! Not even God could sink The Titanic ! Those words doomed the Titanic , before it ever left the dock ! That is my opinion and I am sticking to it ! Because I Truly believe it is what doomed The Titanic ! Because Almighty God will not be mocked !

@jamesbryan7377

I don't understand how they could possibly attest to seeing a growler at 1.5-2 MILES at night, in the pitch blackness. They didn't have any sort of forward flood lights or any kind of forward facing lighting whatsoever. 2 miles is a LONG distance. Especially a moonless night with calm waters, I call complete BS on that 2 mile claim. No matter how skilled you are.

There were twenty lifeboats as four of them were 'Collapsibles'.

Always wondered if she would have stayed afloat if she hit the iceberg head on instead of sideswiping it.

@travisohaver42090
@

Isn't it a fact though that lookouts do not use binoculars constantly - they use them when they've spotted something to examine it. Plus, what difference would binoculars really have been at night...

Now for the lifeboats - yes, there weren't enough for everyone but what most of these videos seem to miss is that they were still launching the boats as Titanic was in it's last moments - the Collapsibles.

Plus, the ship was listing, so even if they did have enough boats onboard for everyone, it's very unlikely that they would've even been able to launch them all. A lot of the boats would've just been extra debris to cling on to, or for some stronger passengers to climb into...so they might have saved lives in that way, but no way would they have had time to launch all the boats had there been enough.

Oh and not to forget the time wasted by primadonna 1st class passengers who refused to get into the boats as soon as they were told to.

All the theories are wrong, I am afraid! Yes, the ship sank, it was meant to sink on it's maiden voyage, World War one was about to happen, and the three ships were actually fitted out at the last minute as auxiliary cruisers, in case of war. Germany was building them at the time, and some were already at sea waiting for war to be announced. German young men were fleeing Germany to escape the draft, as they feared war, men of marriageable age. Some took their new brides with them, many, expected to send for them when they found work. If one looks at the passenger list, look at how many passengers were from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The ship officers heard four explosions, torpedo or shell explosions. Where from? A passing German Auxiliary Cruiser, German records were found in the nineteen nineties suggestion this was true. A German Liner passed the Titanic, as it was sinking, passengers saw it's outline in the dark night, by starlight. JP Morgan was in on it, as he wanted to buy the Shipping Line. The coming war would make him rich hiring out a fleet of Troop Ships to governments. The Californian, his ship was waiting to transfer the passengers at sea, hiding in the ice field. It had a cargo of 3000 blankets, why? The Iceberg was a convenient excuse, perhaps, an unexpected bonus for an Insurance scam. Eventual pay-outs were doubled to fourteen million pounds, why?

@marasam3143
@

This video is pure BS. The ship was not made of inferior materials. It was not poorly designed. It was not a chain of events. The fault lays with Captain Smith. It should not have been proceeding at "full steam ahead" through a dangerous and well-known ice field. It is as simple as that.

@paulburley7993
@

It is a sequence of events that creates a disaster, but in the end Captain Smith, went full steam ahead after being warned about icebergs, he also acknowledged it was a dead calm night with no moonlight, so seeing the lapping white at the bottom on the icebergs would be difficult. THIS caused the collision. All the other issues would not contribute, if the Titanic had slowed down and they paid attention to the conditions. They cannot say they were not warned about the icebergs, since they had 5 messages and the final message gave co-ordinates.

@kenn1936

Did you forget to note that Captain Smith caused the problems and the wreck on the Olympic?

@HagbagSlayer
@

Everything seems wrong!! The layout, the lifeboats (only 16), the binoculars, the captain ignoring the
iceberg warning forecast and the lack of training everyone in case of emergency!!! They were too complacent the fact it was known as unsinkable ship!! 😢

@jolandaverheijden8774

With benefit of hindsight you can say they should have slowed down or been more diligent with the ice warnings but to me, the Titanic tragedy was a true accident, where things just happened to come together the way they did. You could probably have made the ocean crossing 500 or more times and never had any problems. No real different than driving to work everyday for years but then on one particular day you'd have an accident

@jimmyhuesandthehouserocker1069
@

I don't believe there were any design oversights or material flaws. The accident was so severe that no ship could have survived or at least not back in 1912

@jimmyhuesandthehouserocker1069
@

Why would they want to contain the water? They needed a way of removing the water. It was a doomed design from the start. And piloted by a sub par work force.

@richardcoffer4758
@

The rivet issue is redundant. Although the Foecke and McCarty metallurgy research team found that an external pressure of 9,000 ft lb was needed to make a Titanic bow rivet fail (due to wrought iron impurities, etc), versus a steel rivet tested to 20,000 ft lb, the Ship's estimated kinetic energy before impact was 2,070,000,000 ft lbs. Thus the full strength rivet would've still failed: merely deforming momentarily (due to superior ductility) rather than fracturing instantly.

@elrjames7799

THIS IDIOT SAID HE BELIEVES TITANIC WOULD OF SURVIVED IF THEY HIT ICE BERG HEAD ON AT 25 MPH WITH 90% OF PEOPLE IN BED SLEEP OR ON THERE FEET....WOULD OF BEEN A DISASTER. AN MOST LIKELY SUNK EVEN FASTER. HOWEVER HANDFUL OF PEOPLE WOULD OF WENT OVER BOARD CLEARING MORE SPACES FOR THE FEW LIFE BOATS🤷
