The look in his eyes though. I don't even know if he realized help was there. He may have been so delusional, it wasn't even a reality. I heard somewhere that they had to be very careful getting him out or he could have died on the way to the surface! Oh....and how about the divers there to recover bodies and a hand reaches out. Had to scare the hell outta them!
@@jasonhaynes2952 Yeah, that definitely makes sense. I can't even imagine what he was going through. That's crazy. You're right, he lost his mind, at least temporarily. I don't know what the hell I would do, or how I would act. I probably would have thought about making a go and try to swim to the surface. As crazy as that sounds, I wouldn't expect to be acting sane. Also, I couldn't even imagine being the diver who stumbled upon him. I probably crap my pants if I saw a a hand from the presumed corpse, that came to life. Underwater zombies! Terrifying.
On 07 December 1941, at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, the USS Oklahoma capsized after multiple torpedo hits. There was no way to get to the men that had been at their action stations deep below the decks. The men were heard banging on the bulkheads, so they knew there were live sailors trapped. Months later , in 1942, salvage operations began at Pearl Harbour, but the Oklahoma was considered at total loss. Apparently, divers entered the ship, and found a large air pocket in the engine rooms.The men were all dead . Found among them was a calendar with 'X's counting the days till they would be rescued. The last 'X' was 23 December 1941. So it took 16 horrific days for those abandoned men to die. Jeez.
I don't think k so. I know they tried cutting into the uptur ed hulls of some ships but apparently this didn't happen here. Also there were no scuba divers then . It was a big bulky helmets with air hoses, so ship penetration was limited. It was SO deemed unsafe. Blown apart , twisted metal, live ordinance, e t. I read the divers on the USS Arizona suffered mental trauma from what they saw.
@jaysmith3361 they couldn’t get to these men because the ship got pressed up against the hull of another one making the wall they would need to cut through inaccessible
Look up here on RU-vid "Memoirs of WW2 Vet Attempts to Save Sailors from Pearl Harbor Wreckage." They interview a welder who was part of a crew that attempted to save sailors that were trapped inside the ships, and he talks about hearing the knocking.
Pearl harbor was allowed to happen so we could go to war. Those sailors died to serve the american propoganda effort, they should be grateful to be able to sacrifice themselves for the American cause
In order for an implosion to have occurred, there had to have been areas of the stern where the water couldn't leak in fast enough to equalize the pressure, and quite possibly didn't leak in at all... So many of those who died in the implosion may not have even gotten wet before they passed away... hundreds of feet underwater.
@@njmommy609 If you watched the video, you would see that there actually WAS an implosion that occurred on the back half of the titanic… I would explain it again, but I feel like I already covered it in my original comment.
It is a disturbing thought but at least there deaths were more swift and painless then those who had drowned and or was hit with Hypothermia in the freezing atlantic
Ok, just imagine being that recovery diver for a minute. You're looking for dead bodies, underwater, in total silence, in a pitch black shipwreck.....and a freaking HAND pops out and grabs you. Holy hell.
Imagine walking, or swimming through a pitch dark passageway two or three decks below the main deck between pools of oil floating at the overheads, paper and other stuff floating about when you turn a corner and there's multiple bodies scattered about like mannequins. THAT is what divers encounter when entering a just sunken wreck to retrieve bodies.
@Jens Nobel damn.. that's a great story thanks for sharing this..& also..I think your decision to interpret the story as a cautionary tale is very wise..👍
He's right.... The word "suffering" implies time passing being conscious of that time and 'suffering' over time... Hence the 'ing' suffix.... They would have died in less than a second or less than the time the human brain needs to make sense of anything and send signals like pain or shock or terror etc etc etc..... Hence.. They would not have 'suffered'.... They would have died in a single second and..... They literally would not have even even realised that they had died....
To compensate for the freezing water, at least the air in a shrinking air pocket would get quite warm really fast - the ship was sinking quickly enough that adiabatic compression could generate *a lot* of heat. Combined with high air pressure (hence more oxygen and easier burning), this could have actually caused some of the people trapped in the air pockets to catch on fire. Burning to death inside a sinking ship doesn't sound like a pleasant way to go.
They would have suffered for less than a minute. As the boat was sinking at around 5-6 meters per second, that is 1 armosphere of pressure every 2 seconds. In under a minute, the crushing pressure alone would have killed them. Long before they hit the bottom, or ran out of air.
"They wouldn't have suffered" Idk sitting in a boat that i know is going down while in a room with ice cold water pouring in & no life boat in sight sounds like suffering
Also, slamming on the ocean floor and knowing that that's the end for you and all you can do is sit there hearing the strangest deep ocean and metal noises. Basically he'll without the fire.
He’s talking about the implosion. All that water and metal crushing the air pocket with you in it would have essentially vaporized your body in an instant.
Imagine the feeling of being trapped inside an air pocket on the Titanic's stern for 30 seconds after the final plunge, in a complete dark room, realizing (by the fall of the structure and the awful noises it must've made) that the section broke free from the bow and everything is already underwater making its way to the bottom. Then, in a second, the whole thing implodes with you. Dude, it's terrible. I can't even imagine the terror that those who couldn't escape from the stern's interior must have experienced while sinking and being torn apart with the ship's structure.
I think this may have been the fate of the Electricians who manned their post at the electrical boards in the generating room deep in the stern section of the ship. Non of them survived.
Also, they say the ship reached the ocean floor in only 5 or minutes so. So in 30 seconds, it could have gotten like upwards of a half mile under the surface. Just eery.
Gosh, this reminds me of those poor, innocent souls in Sept 11. Hearing the building collapse, some were still on the phone and their screams and cries were recorded. Please, do not listen to those 9/11 tapes. I should not have.
@@thepoppyman844 did you watch the whole video? I'm talking about the guy that survived in the sunken ship for 3 days before being found by a diver looking for corpses.
@@kimpeater1 Music is unnecessary lol. But this music in particular does not fit the content in the slightest. It was probably just free stock stuff to use or something.
Ironically, those Titanic victims in air pockets who died in an underwater implosion, experienced a very similar death to the five men on the Titan submersible, which imploded in 2023.
@@thefrase7884 It's not 'coincidence' - coincidence has nothing to do with it. The implosions in Titanic and the Titan submersible (111 years apart), are exactly the same phenomenon, caused by exactly the same forces.
Even if there were air pockets, I think we forget that the water was absolutely freezing. They would’ve died of hypothermia pretty quickly. Even stuck in a dark air pocket.
Um no hypothermia would take minutes if not hours to kill you. These people in the stern of the ship after it sank were all killed 30 seconds if not less after it went under the water, so unless the hypothermia killed them instantly I would say most people died due to drowning or the implosion itself. Now the people who got off of the titanic and we’re unfortunately sitting in the water is a different story
Wouldn’t the pressure of the water be crushing that’s millions of pounds of pressure they would have never made it to the bottom maybe somehow in the beginning but after it landed no…
They were indeed braver men then we will ever be.. Boggles my mind to think what my grandfather had seen, done,been a part of that he never told us, he told us less than more.. What he did tell us would have been the slither of the icing on a iceberg.. Brave men.
Being inside of one of those air pockets could have been one of the best ways to die. Instead of freezing or drowning they would have been instantly crushed. Although, I suppose that could be quite scary knowing you are sinking inside of a ship.
I think sitting in a pitch black room while the ship breaks in half and then sinks again which would shake you around like crazy might actually be worse. And if i remember correctly the stern of the ship started spinning like crazy as it was going down in the waters. So you probably would have died from getting ragdolled before the pressure caused an implosion. But that's just my guess. So going on that i think freezing and drowning might be the better options.
@@myd64the stern imploded within 20 seconds of leaving the surface, that would have killed anyone left alive instantly. I’d reckon in the darkness they wouldn’t know if they are underwater or still in the surface, I’d reckon it was a quicker process d than being in the freezing water slowly knowing life is leaving and your powerless to stop it
@@12pagani Didn't know it imploded that fast. Both ways sound horrible to die. Even if the implosion happened so fast, the time before the ship sank that must have be horrible aswell, knowing you can't get out anymore and are done for sure.
What is even more creepy is that many victims that were recovered are buried just outside of my window in Fairview Lawn Cemetery. I can see them while I type this.
@@SFFireSoul it asks, could anyone have been alive inside the ship after it sank... victims could not be recovered from inside the ship after it sank. Point made.
Wow, the survivors of the Titanic actually felt and even heard the implosion. I didn't even know that would be possible. Always learning something new. Thanks.
I have a feeling some people on Titanic couldn't stand the thought of jumping overboard just to freeze in the ocean and they preferred to stay dry and relatively warm as long as possible even though they knew it probably wouldn't be long until they drowned in their cabin. What a living nightmare to endure that was, especially for someone traveling with their children; a truly horrific "last experience" on Earth that ended with the entire family dead. What would a parent tell their children as they waited to drown?
Probably just lie to them, honestly, and say everything would be okay. Or if they didn't want to lie, maybe "everything will be over soon"...which was technically true
@@sterlingcampbell2116In the movie they had a mom reading bedtime stories to her kids since they were trapped. Once that door breaks down there's no softening the reality of the situation unfortunately.
He was incredibly lucky... Still, I feel a bit bad for him, because his community blamed him for having survived thanks to black magic, and he still has horrible nightmares. He has his wife, so I assume he has more people and family that care for him and would've been overjoyed when he was found alive.
A British sailor in a round the world yacht race got rescued once way off southern coast of Perth and he survived in his upturned yacht in an air pocket for 89 hours and he survived. The rescuers were thinking it would be just a body retrieval but they heard banging from inside and he was still alive inside.
I would guess that the 1500 passengers left on the stern would've experienced something very similar to the individuals who were inside the World Trade Centre when it came crashing down on Sept 11, 2001. HORRIFIC. No movie will do it justice.
I believe the aft most room on titanic was on c deck (located in the area of the stern that hung over the sea) it was the steering gear and hydraulic room, used for steam powered steering it was the room directly below where everyone was standing, aft of the third class smoke and general room.
@@Napp28 exactly. To me there is nothing worse than knowing you're about to die at some point...a few minutes an hour...and you have no control or chance to stop it.

The guy trapped in the ship 100 feet below the surface, in the dark, freezing, for 3 days, gives me the shivers and a feeling of dread and horror. I would have gone insane. God bless that man, I hope he doesn't have PTSD and nightmares, but I'm sure he does.
This happened off the coast of Nigeria. The man, Harrison Odjegba Okene, was a chef on a tugboat and yes, he did suffer PTSD and swore never to go back to the sea again(He said in an interview). 😂😂 Somehow, I believe years later he trained with the divers that saved him and he became a diver too.

My work office is on the site where it was built and some boarded in Belfast, like Mr. Andrews (who liked to set clocks on sinking ships) I have lunch in what used to be the ticket office. If I have a bad day, I walk down by the pier where they boarded, and remind myself it could be worse. Then I go back to the office to remind myself, it could be better.
@@leod-sigefast 4 first class passengers and 6 second class boarded on 2. April 1912 in Belfast. Quite a few workers also boarded there. Oh, and guess who one of the first class passenger's was... Mr. Thomas Andrews, you know, the ship builder. I've seen the photo's and videos of people boarding in Belfast and it leaving the docks with at least a hundred people on the decks waving. Some of them probably got off in Southampton, like press and such. Google stuff before you try to 'correct' people.
Sinking when its pitch black, and in that kind of the endless Atlantic, AND with a gigantic ship making horrific sounds and the size of it just making you scared shitless is something crazy.
A lot of people wouldn't even realize this, but the poor man who was trapped then had to go through 60 hours of decompression before he could return to the surface.
At least at that point he was out of the boat and safe. I'd trade 60 hours of decompression for that! I assume they put him in a decompression chamber on the surface for the duration?
@@R0B690 Look up saturation diving. 60 hours is probably correct. For saturation diving depths, decompression takes approximately one day per 100 feet of seawater plus an additional day. Might even be more than 60 hours with the additional day required.
I have been a Titanic buff since I was a young kid, after reading a book and watching the 1953 movie. I have also met a Titanic survivor. It was approx 1970 and I was about 10 years old and I went to the hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan with my parents to visit one of my grandparents who was Admitted there. I don't remember all the details or the persons name , but at some point I was introduced to an old woman in a wheel chair, whom I was told that she was a Titanic survivor. I think I talked to her for a minute or 2 and asked her a few questions. That was one of those childhood memories that you never forget.
You say its 1 of those childhood memories you never forget... at the same time you tell us you forgot her name 🤣 and the details are very vague which suggests you've forgotten quite a bit about it and are only going based off what other people are telling you lol
*conveniently can't provide the few details that would verify his claim* *Literally describes the portrayal of the late "Rose" from the modernized adaptation of the movie* Fucks sake, why do you people feel the need to lie about the weirdest shit?
To these poster's who think I am just making that encounter up...... oh well, you can believe what ever you want, I know it happened. Why that woman was in Michigan and who she was, I don't know. Actually I don't think I ever asked her what her name was, and I don't remember if it was ever mentioned. All I remember was that it was in a waiting room at the hospital and I just talked to her for a very brief time and I believed what the adults told me and the woman I talked to. Excuse my 10 year old self for not being an investigative reporter and not documenting the occasion. Considering that it was 50 years ago and I was a young child, I think is pretty good that I remember the details that I do. We did not have cell phones with cameras in those days(no cell phones at all). Lets see if when you are 60 years old you remember every detail of some brief chance encounter that happened when you were 10. I'm not even sure exactly how old I was at the time. As I stated in the original post, my best estimate would have put it at about 1970 and me at 10 years old. So, think what you want, that is about all I have to say about the matter.
every 33 feet increase in depth, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. At 100ft the pressure therefore is 5x at the surface. Passenger liners don't have watertight compartments like warships do so that pressure will force water into any compartments that have air. So in my opinion, any people inside the ship would have had no more than 15 - 30 seconds before they would drown. If water could somehow NOT enter a compartment then very soon the outside pressure would crush it like an eggshell, instantly killing anyone alive. I think anyone trapped would have actually died a more quick and merciful death than those in life jackets floating in 20 degree water.
@@Biffbop It's a way to make television, production choice. I guess it's a way to make some filling to documentary. Like music in some dramatic part of a nature documentary. But it's easy to overuse it and I don't think it suits over something like this. I think it shows that the person making this video doesn't trust that the content itself would be interesting enough without some background music, which is a shame, because what he had to say and present was fascinating. That's why the music is kinda like some daytime small TV documentaries and especially reality TV shows use that kind of vapid, empty, plastic sounding background music. It's filling, padding. I think he can grow as a RU-vidr and a channel, maybe not have to rely on music that way. Because the content in the video, it doesn't need music.
I was born in Southampton. Almost every school child is taken to the Titanic museum and regular memorials are held. It’s fascinating to visit the hotel that most first class passengers stayed in. The train line goes straight into the hotel from the dock. This video is really interesting. Thank you. 😊

My fiancé and I are spending part of a day in Southampton on our honeymoon to England/Ireland. What is the hotel and museum? Only going to take the train down from London for part of the day to see the docks (mayflower and titanic) and memorials, would love some other suggestions that are a fairly quick sight see and within walking distance!!
I couldn’t imagine being rescued like that man. I’d think I was hallucinating. I wouldn’t believe it. There’s no way. Not after so long. Not after being so deep. I feel like the feeling would be..explosive almost. Like a burst of anxiety and fear and unsettling feeling. There’s something actually scary about being that deep underwater alone, all your crew mates dead around you, and suddenly something living starts entering the space your in after three days. That’s horror movie materials. “What is it? Is it real?” My gosh.
There was a big debate during the Seoul ferry sinking whether some of the kids were still alive and could have been saved due to air pockets but the government wouldn't let the teams who wanted to try to check do it. I would LOVE for you to do a video on that tragedy
that was a nightmare. there are some haunting videos taken of those poor kids as the ship was sinking. the adults were so to blame, that they died with the kids doesn't make it better. just nightmare fuel stuff.
There may well have been survivors in air pockets on the MV Sewol as it was still on the surface more or less, wheras the Titanic rapidly sank in deep water to high pressures. The MV Sewol bobbed upside down on the surface for hours. In South Africa a similar incident happened and I think 3 men survived in a small air pocket for almost 48 hours and were rescued. But again that craft was still basically on the surface. That is part of why the parents of MV Sewol are so upset, the Korean government just sat there and did nothing, they did not send anyone to check the ship while it was still upright and listing; and when the ship inverted they refused to send in any divers. Only after 3 or 4 days did they send divers and by then it was too late.
@@mikesully110 it wasn't that simple. you are right to place hella blame on the korean government, however it wasn't just the politicians who failed. the s.korean coast guard basically refused to help anyone, the captain of the first coast guard ship to arrive, announced that "everyone" got off the ship, did not mount any rescue operations and basically wasted its time forcing armatures who were trying to rescue people away from the sinking ship, they made this decision after sending a few men on board, who found the captain and crew of the ship while it was sinking, the captain and crew told the coast guard that "everyone was off" and insisted they flee for their lives basically convincing the coast guard not to search for passengers, the people the captain and crew of the ship knew were trapped inside the hull. so you have the cowardice of the ship's crew, the coast guard who knew there were probably people still aboard and who didn't want to risk people to search the ship, the teachers of the kids who refused to let the kids try to flee the ship because they were ordered by the crew to "stay put" and the politicians who even when informed there were people still trapped on the ship refused to take rapid and forceful action to try to save them, instead simply telling the coast guard ship to "do what they can safely" which the coast guard ship decided meant "sit around and watch every die" because the captain of the ship didn't feel like risking anyone's life to save the passengers. the whole thing was a monstrous disaster, and then when the company which owned the ship realized that they were likely liable for all the death and destruction due to their illegal modification of the ship, the flew into action to convince the government no investigation was needed and no one was to blame, WHILE THE SHIP WAS STILL FLOATING and the kids were fighting for their lives, the coverup was underway to gaslight to parents of those children. The whole situation was disgusting from top to bottom. note, those armatures who came to the scene that the coastguard was trying to chase off? those people saved almost everyone who could be saved from the disaster without rescue divers or equipment. while the coast guard tried to chase them off and their government tried to tell everyone no one was trapped on the ship, and if they were they were long dead
@@arizona_anime_fan I visited the mausoleum where a lot of the kids' cremated remains where placed. Just walls and walls full of them, brought tears to my eyes seeing their ID cards and there was just so many.
During the Pearl Harbour salvage operations they found out about few tragic cases were people had survived for days inside the sunken warships but weren't able to be found and rescued in time.
Yes i remember this, they were banging with tools to let them know they were alive, would stick their hands out, but couldnt get to them in time, they all died, smn
I served a tour at compacflt boathouse giving tours at pearl. Your correct, the best account of what happened is in the book "Descent into Darkness." On the West Virgina Sailors survived sinking, they had access to water and food. They marked days on the bulkhead, the last day marked was December 24, 17 days after the attack. The book is one of the best accounts I've ever read.
Thank you for video.... former diver here. There would not have been an 'implosion'. That can only happen if the structure is completely airtight like a submarine. Air trapped in Titanic would easily leak and equalize pressure as depth increased. A cabin has a door that doesn't seal airtight. The porthole also would bleed air as would ventilation ducts. The loud noise heard by survivors in lifeboats was very likely heated boilers exploding due to contact with ice cold water, or they could actually implode as they were water and airtight. Even the bulkheads designed to prevent sinking were not airtight. They were actually open at the top. If someone was unfortunate enough to be trapped in an air pocket, they would experience a very gruesome death. Titanic is in 3,800 meters of water. Pressure increases 1 atmosphere every 10 meters. So at bottom pressure is 380 atmospheres (14.7 psi) = 5,586 psi. The air is compressed and is only 1/380th the volume. Air in the lungs of soon to die survivors would also be 1/380th the volume. Person would have died long before settling on the bottom. The lucky sailor trapped under 100 feet only had 3 atmospheres of pressure. He needed to 'decompress' as he was brought up to allow Nitrogen gas to come out of solution in his blood to prevent getting the 'Bends'. His decompression was several hours over 2 stops. If a Titanic survivor was somehow found alive on bottom and brought up to surface, his lungs would explode if he held his breath going up. Air in lungs would then expand 380 times in volume. His decompression would be measured in weeks over many stops along the way.
Salvage Diver for USN or personal? Only curious as my Dad was a Deep Sea Diver for the USN back when they wore the Mark V suits. He went through a few decompressions. It was also the reason he was forced into early retirement and died relatively young. ⚓️
Harrison, the survivor, is insanely lucky. He heard sharks feeding on his friends bodies. He originally was in a different area but moved to that pocket. Because he heard sharks. Watch the story or read about it. Its epic. His name is harrison.
And he's now a certified diver after being terrified of the ocean after the incident. The diver who rescued Harrison was the one who presented him his certificate 🙏
An instantaneous death from inside the ship seems kinder than getting off the ship and slowly freezing to death in the water...it makes me think of that scene in Titanic where a mother is reading a bedtime story to her children, having presumably realised they wouldn't be able to get on a lifeboat. I wonder how many people did that and resigned themselves to death :(
Saw a program recently that said the people that died in the water, did not live long. The water was so cold that they could not move to keep themselves afloat, so drowned very quickly. Apparently of all the people to jump into the water, only about 40 actually got pulled from the water by rescuers.
@@martyzielinski2469 after the sinking, yes. Durring, there were more than five that technically went in the water and got out, but by and large, those ones got out immediately, and were pulled into the boats before they rowed away. Five or six were picked up out of the water once the one lifeboat decided to go back and see who might be left
i always said years ago, they should of ripped off all the doors on the ship and made make-shift rafts..could of saved 100's more, just put a few doors together
@@FordFalcon1962nBlue eh, to make enough could have taken too long and too many hands. Remember, the crew didn't even have time to lauch every lifeboat, and for almost the entire first hour, they were still trying to figure out just how dire things were. Very likely, to make more than one or two rafts could have taken more time than Titanic had. Either way, it would have taken crewmembers away from the lifeboats, at a time when they were sorely needed - both to work the lifeboats, and to keep at least a shred of order among the passengers. Maybe a few more could have been saved that way, but sadly, not hundreds
“They wouldn’t have suffered, nothing bad would’ve happened” Except the part that they’re trapped in an air pocket on a quickly sinking ship knowing they’re going to die 💀
No word of a lie just the other day my wife actually asked me why the titanic sailed away from the survivors. I had to do a pros & cons list as to why we're married after that
Wait.....I need to know more here. What on earth did she think happened? Did she think the titanic just pootled on out there to the middle of the North Atlantic in the middle of the night, ditched about 1500 people in the ocean and just......left off on her merry way to New York? Wha....the.....I.....good grief. I need to go and lie down now.
The last surviving crew member addressed this very thing at the end of the documentary called 'Titanic, a question of murder', that I consider to be the best short documentary on the subject. His closing statement as he ruminates on the disturbing question was," You see there were bulkheads all over the place and there were a lot of pockets of air." "A lot of the people never left their cabins as she sank. And they must have died IN their cabins. And they must have had a lingering death." "It was almost like murder, wasn't it?" I highly recommend finding that documentary. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uYWz4SAwZp0.html
@Jens Nobel riveted steel hulls wouldn't have got 20 meters of depth without the pressure causing water intrusion making air pockets to small and flat against the too to utilize..I doubt anyone lasted long
They need to do a complete forensic investigation of the Titanic. Send rovers all through the wreckage, and every cabin, and photograph everything. Especially the hull area that struck the iceberg. There is still millions of dollars of personal property in the cabins and on the ship.
They did a complete scan of it you can look it. As for recovering, it's so brittle now the chances of it collapsing are higher now. Also the families of the titanic victims see it as a graveyard or resting place. They don't want people touching stuff in the ship.
That man who survived 3 days in that air pocket in pure darkness is ridiculously lucky to be alive. He had better bought a winning lottery ticket after that and lived the good life to forget about his trauma!

Let’s not talk talk about the fact that an implosion literally shreds the human body into micro-sized chunks. I guess they didn’t live long enough to suffer, but their corpses did.
@@Angel-tw3ko Well, I think you completely missed the actual content of my post. Additionally, I prefer reality to fantasy. Religion, sheesh, what a mess. Every single one thinks that they are the only correct one, and everyone else is wrong. Seems to me that if there really was a creator (personally, I don't believe there is one, but there could be) [IMPORTANT PART HERE] _AND_ that creator wanted us to worship him/her/it (really? can create a unimaginably vast Universe but is so insecure that worship from us tiny ants is demanded?) then there would be no guesswork. We would KNOW beyond any doubt which religion was correct. The holy book would have real truths, like how to cure diseases (yeah, try and cure illness like the old testament tells you, bet it don't work), or how to reach world peace or any of a million actual truths. Nope, we get impossible to verify fantasy. Keep it.
Depending on how long it took for the titanic to sink all the way to the bottom people could not have survived more than I imagined an hour. As the water gets deeper the water will compress the air pockets to the point where there is too much oxygen and nitrogen and it actually becomes toxic to humans. Not to mention if any of them were in water they would’ve become hyperthermic very fast.
Thank you for creating such interesting and informative content. My 8 year-old girl has a new found fascination for the Titanic and we stumbled across you and this has only fuelled her passion further. Thank you from England!
I know this video was made before the Titan incident in 2023, but him saying "if you went down to those depths without a sub, you'd be crushed" now has an even darker meaning
Yeah I was just thinking that. The points he's making is at the point of implosion it would have been a quick death but overall I'd say that's a fairly terrible way to go.
@@Tommo1983ful I don't know about terrible. Compared to floating in freezing water surrounded by screaming, drowning, people, until you died, bracing yourself against a bulkhead for half a minute until you instantly were killed wouldn't have been so bad.
30 seconds is a life time when your in a situation and your life is flashing before your eyes. It’s more than enough to put dread in your heart knowing what’s coming but there’s nothing you can do about it.
Exactly. Like, no disrespect to the iploader but its seems a bit odd to not understand that level of dread and imminent death on the psyche. Even if suicidal it's a horrible way to die.
At 12,500 feet water depth (depth of Titanic wreck), there's approx. 5,569 pounds of pressure exerted on each square inch (psi) of an object there. Even though our body IS for the most part filled with fluids similar to water itself, that kind of pressure, especially changed in a matter of minutes (time for the rear hull) to sink to the bottom, would have been both excruciatingly painful and ultimately fatal, even without the compartment being fully flooded (no air). What air in the "bubble" at the surface, would have been compressed 378 times what it was on the surface, and roughly that fraction (1/378) its former volume. So they "MIGHT" have survived for a few seconds, even a minute... but beyond that... NO, and what a TERRIFYING way to go.
Same with the Bismark. Some went down but no one was alive when it hit the sea floor. Now merchant ships all over the ocean during WWII I bet some men were trapped, hit bottom and had no escape. Just as bad as being burried alive.
The problem is there oxygen in our body, the fluid doesn't matter, there's oxygen present, a person could survive in the ship while sinking, up until the human body is crushed by water pressure, you'd be dead before the ship his the bottom.
I understand your answer to this question, but no one who was INSIDE Titanic as she sank survived for very long from yes 1. The huge air pocket which was around the stern while the bow had none, 2. the depth and three tons of water pressure Titanic sank in, and 3. the implosion that completely destroyed the stern as it descended and spiraled down to its grave, while the bow went down like a torpedo since it was already filled with water unlike the stern during the break-up. So yes, any survivors who were trapped inside Titanic as it sank, most likely died from the impact with the sea floor, and their bodies vaporized afterwards leaving nothing but the remains of their clothes, from all three circumstances the ship sank in.
Amazing how an accident gets older at the same rate the person talking about it gets younger and unanswerable questions are hypothesed in shorter amount of minutes...its a real thing.
Line of succession. In the 1930s white star line merged with Cunard ,their former rival. however , white star line had lost many of its ships and money with the sinking of the RMS Titanic and Britannic and ww1. The RMS Olympic (the older of the three sisters ) was scraped in 1935. With the loss of ships ,Cunard held a majority of the shares in the joint company. eventually they bought it completely outright. years later Cunard was bought by Carnival.
Ironically ,the only surviving ship that was built and used by White star line that still exists (not on the sea floor) is the tender the SS Nomadic which is drydocked in Belfast outside the Titanic museum. The museum itself is built over the drydock that Titanic was built in at the old Harland and Wolff shipyard. The SS Nomadic carried 1st class passengers to the titanic before she set sail for her madden voyage.
there's also evidence some sailors survived for a week or more in an air pocket on one of the sunken battleships at pearl harbor, but they werent rescued, and died sadly :(
@@garytodd5605 coz it was incredibly difficult to cut through the inches of steel plate on the hulls of those ships and once you put a hole in the air pocket roof the air rushes put and the water flows in and those men drown.
@@garytodd5605some were rescued. When you start cutting a hole in their air pocket, it quickly becomes not an air pocket. Also, the fumes from the cutting torches killed a lot of them.
The Titanic is a tragic yet fascinating story. It never ceases to arouse curiosity after 100+ years. I can't imagine the level of panic and distress of everyone, especially the captain and those who knew they had to go down with the ship. Those who lived and lost their loved ones were scarred forever.
It is truly a beautiful ship too. I first gained interest in the subject at 2nd grade but despite the morbid nature of the disaster I was more fascinated with the architecture.
Titanic gets a lot of attention. Whats even more shocking is in the history of humanity an estimated 10 million ships have sank and only 8% of them have ever been found and recorded. Just imagine what treasures and tragedies are on the seabed undiscovered. But since I think Titanic is eroding underwater and slowly vanishing in just over a 100 years I can't imagine many really old lost ships will be found.
Drowning or being crushed by pressure? Take your pick! Some of those poor, unfortunates, I believe, died a very painful, excruciating death.. Just my opinion/observation...
With the sounds of collapsing, crushing metal, things crashing forward, and decks turning into bulkheads and vice versa. I think I would have preferred to jump to my death from the poop deck than die like this in a collapsing compartment had I been there, or I would have shot myself. I'm sure some who possessed pistols aboard considered doing that seeing what was happening to others in the water.
I can recall my dad, a U. S. Navy veteran who had been at Pearl Harbor during December 7, 1941, mentioning that several ships had capsized in the shall harbor area. For several days, there could be heard distant thumping and knocking on the hulls of survivors trapped inside. Navy welders tried to access the hull, but of course, this is the most durable and nearly impenetrable part of a ship's steel. After a while, the thumping became less frequent and at last . . . it ceased.
My uncle Ron served in Vietnam and he was a river rat. When his pt boat got hit by an rpg it sanked and he was the only one to survive sadly. He was an engineer so when they were hit he in the bottom of the ship. He survived because when the ship sunk he found an air pocket in it. He stayed there until night fall and swam out and made it back to base.
Alone in the dark for 3 days, sitting 100ft at the bottom of the ocean? Man, I'm forever keeping my phone topped up. You never know when you might need it to see in the dark.
Oh my goodness, that man who lived inside that pitch dark air pocket for 3 days! I don't think my claustrophobia and fear of deep water would have allowed me more than just a few minutes before my heart just stopped beating. Hearing the noises that would be a part of being down where he was, had to of been horrendous! And that blackness! Bless his heart!!
Of all the people that suffered that night the ones that I think about the most are the ones that we're stuck in a room somewhere when the ship went down. I can only hope that their death was quick and they didn't feel their brains exploding before they died or anything like that. How claustrophobic in dark would that be
they surely did, just like people that being captivated live for a few seconds, long enough to be able to look at their body lying beside them while there heads been cut off and go into a mental shock of what they see.. it been proven over and over as well.. read the book about the experiments the Japanese did on the Chinese in the Second World War ll .. is the worst you can ever read about and they studied human suffer and death in detail. I can't remember the number now.. but the place was called Factory 3.. something ... in the book China Awakes one of the world's most sick man that were part of academic team leading the research was interviewed in that book...
@@SimplicityForGoodHe’s talking about before the implosion and even when it implodes you’re dead instantly so heat wouldn’t matter. The people stuck inside had a better death than those who froze to death.
@@nextbigthing2917 every case is actually different... sorry to be frank, but you are talking about generals while ew talk of specifics.. oranges and apples just don't give the same result
Happened at Pearl Harbor, the harbor is shallow so they were pulling guys out for awhile but the ships were so heavily armored they were hard to cut into and lots of the guys in the pockets ended up dying anyway from starvation etc
So staying in one of the airpockets was literally the quickest and most painless death you could have had on the titanic… let that sink in for a moment. Damn that’s tough.
I went ocean fishing with my pop once. If my memory is correct, the depth was 400ft. We took Styrofoam cups and attached them to a weight and fishing line. When we pulled the cups back on the boat, they were miniature versions. It was very cool.
Good to know! I honestly thought I was going crazy because two years ago I had one of my dreams interrupted suddenly by another dream, this one about a family of four (a father and mother with two daughters all second class) who went on this voyage. The reason it was so strange was because I felt in the dream like I was there witnessing events unfold. Shortly before the sinking the younger daughter (around 8) fell into a coma (I can’t specifically remember why I like to think she may have been knocked out) and when the ship did start sinking I watched as the family became separated in the chaos, I followed the mother who carried her daughter (still in a coma) throughout hallway after hallway but only found shelter in a massive Steel compartment that was full of air. The two went in and I followed. I can still remember feeling the effects of the ship splitting and sinking into the depths but the compartment wasn’t affected. It was really dark and cold, and I saw for the next three days as the mother started to run out of air and making a decision to end it. I heard a clanging sound hit and the last thing I saw before waking up was the little girl asleep. Obviously such a thing as you presented would be impossible, but the experience still haunts me to this day
He has done a few interviews, On the one I seen he stated that he still wakes up screaming on a regular basis because when he sleeps he finds himself back in that sunken tomb, With all the horrible sounds Especially when the sharks was in the adjacent cabin eating on the corpses that just hours before was his mates and crew members, I can't even begin to imagine what kinda hell that would be on your psyche.
