Could be worse. You could be obsessed by some celebrity and spend an unhealthy amount of time worshiping said celebrity as if he/she is some deity which will make your life better.
a lot of people are.... it's partly why both of their movies were popular. i mean, they were both fantastic flicks, but it's history's most famous ship for a reason.
@@RoerDaniel im obsessed with this ship since i ve seen i photo of this when i was 9 now im 20+ still watching every weeek new content of titanic. I cant explain it too why.
@@terkukurpikat Not strongest but largest which was true and unsinkable by the media. The ship in todays world would be considered quite small compared to other cruise ships sailing today but still not necessarily small in length at 882 feet. Its just the height and width that would be smaller than today's large cruise ships
Fun fact: As a lifelong Titanic fan, Cameron said that the main reason he made the movie was so he would have an excuse to go on expeditions to explore the wreck. The fact that the movie was so successful was basically just a bonus.
When my grandfather saw Titanic for the first time, he warned people that he was going to sink. So they told my grandfather to shut up. But, he kept warning, but they didn't let him speak, and they told him to shut up. After warning for the third time that Titanic would sink, they removed my grandfather from the cinema.
Fun fact. If you take out all of the modern scenes in Titanic the total film time is 2 hours and 40 minutes, the same amount of time it took Titanic to sink. James Cameron is a perfectionist.
I’ve lived for 47 years on solid ground in the middle of a continent. Seeing this sink, knowing land was 600km and the bottom is 3.8km, watching the ocean rise up to swallow it, always scares the hell out of me. Yet I keep watching.
Same here. What a terrifying way to go right? I guess it's comforting to know all those pulled down with the ship lost consciousness after a couple minutes.
I feel exactly the same, the way the front of the ship slowly gets lower and lower into the calm water, and eventually it is gone completely and all is still. It’s haunting.
TheIronDuke W. This is also a very real threat but ok. Also you do realise how minuscule those are compared to an entire fucking ship sinking with no sign of rescue in the middle of the ocean right? Dumbass
Katherine P being in a car crash isn’t a threat to you if you don’t get in a a car, being robbed isn’t a threat if you lock all your doors and never go outside? Don’t you see how hypocritical his response was?
It makes sense to be slightly more stressed about threats closer to home such as car crashes and robbery, but what I think Black Bird meant is that they're worried about all the victims of the Titanic. I doubt they meant that they constantly think about the Titanic's sinking.
I've been obsessed with it since I was like 7, I've read a lot of books about, watched the movie too many times to count lol, seen so many documentaries on it, played games based off of it and I even remember going to an artifact exhibition that had actual pieces and items from the Titanic.
Anyone out there who is inexplicably obsessed with this ship needs to go to one of the Titanic museums out there! I went to the one in Las Vegas and it made me feel like I was on the ship. There are so many of us who feel so drawn to everything involving this ship. I think there's a part of those lost passengers that was passed on and lives in us somehow. When you go to something like these museums it's like something just clicks. Like a sense of "going home" or something. It was designed to look like you're on the ship and it's full of personal belongings and pieces of the ship. It was emotionally overwhelming and beautiful at the same time.
“Ship breaks in two, that looks good.” “People screaming for help and slowly freezing to death, that looks good.” “Funnels break and crush people, that looks good.” “Water crashes through glass dome on the grand staircase, which drowns somewhere around 50 people, maybe more...that looks good.”
@@taylorebenguard6998 Well he had to have some sort of plot in it i guess, and if you take away all the modern extra crap he put into the movie, the movie is the exact same length as it took the titanic to sink which is pretty crazy
When I was in the Marine Corps, I had the honor of being on a US Navy ship that was close enough to make a small detour to the location of the sinking en route back to the States. We stopped for 5 minutes and had a moment of silence but it was so surreal to be there and imagine what that was like. Hell, even just being at the site and thinking of the fictional movie that is Titanic if only to give me a sort of idea of what to imagine created interesting thoughts and painful emotions. All the time I think about just sitting there in the ocean. Whether or not in the boat or the water...it's hard to imagine. Hard to imagine in general but we also know that the Carpathia made it to the scene. However, they didn't know that so it seems even more eerie and surreal to think that even if you were in the boats, you would still be sitting there like everyone else. You're just a spec in the ocean floating there. THEN add in the fact that some are in the water and others or not. Again, we know how it ends but I try to put myself in that situation and it seems both hopeful and hopeless to think that someone might be coming or that the boats will be coming back to pick up those in the water.
I remember watching the old interviews of survivors and what got me was when the one man said how everyone in the water were crying, praying etc. Then as time passes and people were dying the silence that came over the ocean was deafening. My heart broke just imagining that horror.
It's crazy the effect this story has on people, I took my friend and her 10 year old boy to the Titanic Museum in Belfast last summer, the kid knew very little about it but yet spent hours studying every detail of the ship and it's demise in the Museum, he was completely captivated by it and his mum told me he wouldn't stop talking about how amazing it was to do the tour.
What fascinates me.. is that you get a team of people, investigating the wreck site.. and spent many years figuring out all the pieces, and from that.. figure out exactly, how the ship went down. Must be a difficult and long process, but damn its fun and interesting to do...
It's really interesting, because up until 1985 when the wreck was found, everyone assumed that there was one long gash in the ship and that it sank in one piece (despite witness accounts saying they saw it break in half). And when it was found, it matched the witness accounts. And then using computer modeling with physics, you can make an animation showing every step of how it sank.
If you think this is interesting, read aviation crash investigations! As a matter of fact, read the Columbia space shuttle investigation. It’s long but goes through excruciating detail of teeny tiny pieces and parts and basically works in reverse through the crash sequence and it’s all in layman terms so even an idiot like me can understand it with full comprehension
Cameron knows his stuff. In 2012, he made a solo trip in a submersible into the Mariana Trench., descending to 35,756 feet, where he stayed for about three hours until his sub started to show signs of failure. Mindboggling.
With all the air trapped in the stern, it makes me wonder if there was anyone still inside as it took that final plunge.. that'd be the most traumatizing last seconds/minutes of your life, knowing you're trapped and about to drown/get crushed.
At least, I suppose it must have been a painless death: Dr Robert Ballard - who found Titanic in 1985 - had first helped US Navy to find the wreck of USS Thresher; the nuclear sub lost at sea in 1963. That wreck was only bits of metal on the ocean floor, and Ballard said that the crew must have been killed instantly - they have probably felt nothing at all when they were killed! That shows that operating in a submarine is always dangerous - even in peacetime. Because the worst enemy is not hostile vessels - it is the ocean itself! The sub's steel hull is no match for the strenght of Neptune's fist! That also happened with the other US sub lost at sea; Scorpion: The water pressure had punched the aft part of the sub inside the bow section! The only good thing is that the crew probably had felt nothing at all when the hydrostatic pressure ended their lives.........
The men who were trapped did not suffer long. Imploaion probably happemed 10 -15 seconds after it actually left the surface. Its a horrible thing to die at sea. No matter how you go.
I believe some passengers were trapped inside their rooms near the bow of the ship. When the bow was going under, the pressure was so huge that their heads would literally implode.
For soem reason I always imagine someone being trapped inside the ship as it sank to the depths, in total darkness hearing all the creaking and crumpling as everything around you starts squashing inwards etc...total nightmare fuel.
Imagine waking up in your 3rd Class Cabin in the middle og the night, you climb down your bunkbed to feel freezing Cold water as you step on to the floor, you go over to look outside the porthole but see that only the top of the porthole is above the water line and you can really only see the Deep water below, After you finally make sense of the situation you realise that the Freezing water i now Up to your knees, you run to the Door but Because of the flooded Hallway outside you can't get it open so you just step back and accept your fate After a couple of minutes you Begin to hear the loud Roars and Creeks from the ship, the Cabin is Half full with water, the porthole is now completely below the water line and you know that the little room that you are in is way below the surface, there is No escape and that its just a matter of time, the loud Roars is almoast deafening until at last, the room is full with water, you take your last breath from the airpocket that quickly disapears and you slowly fade out The Fact that it likely happened is horrorfying!
You wouldn't make it very far. A huge number of people in the Costa Concordia were killed by debris, and that was a gentle tipping over. The water rushing in would smash you against the side of the hull and knock you out or kill you.
I think everyone wonders that. There wouldn’t have been anyone alive in the bow, that was totally flooded already. The people still in the stern would’ve died when it imploded due to the pressure, only a few moments after it sunk.
RU-vid comments mean next to nothing. You have far more comments on a gaming video or makeup video by some stupid youtuber. It will be forgotten. It was by the 1950's already when Walter Lord's book "A Night ro Remember" enlightened people as did the 1958 Hollywood movie. "and tells the story of Mans' folly.." Bad example. I'd say the Great Expression tells a far more telling story of Man's folly. Especially since it affected hundreds of millions worldwide.
The Titanic is the rare outlier of a shipwreck that will endure simply because of how preventable it was. It’s a story of sheer fucking hubris. An arrogant civilization that thinks they have mastered all there is and that god himself could not sink that ship. That same arrogance cost the lives of over 1,500 souls. That said, as one of the most well built ships of it’s time, it remained stable enough to launch all it’s lifeboats. No other ship, except maybe the Olympic, could have taken the damage it did and stayed alive for 2.5 hours. That same arrogance, just 2 short years later, would lead to slaughter on a scale never before seen in human history.
@@JohnDoe-vm2di Titanic was advertised as "Unsinkable as she can be.". It actually was said that not that many people had a religious belief in the ship. I got this from Historic Travels.
Wrong. History is always forgotten eventually. Guess what genius: Titanic was ALREADY forgotten in the 1950's. Most people living back then had never ever heard of her when Walter Lord piqued interest with his famous book "A Night to Remember." and the well-received Hollywood movie with the same name from 1958 had the same effect as Cameron's 1997 movie. The sinking itself was a minor even in the dramatic events of the 20th century so rest assure that while future history class for dummies always will include the two world wars, the Cold War, the Great Depression and the voting rights for women and the end of racial segregation, nobody will know about a ship sinking. The Vietnam War happened merely 50 years ago. How much about it do you know? Bet you know next to nothing. And somebody who knows next to nothing surely isn't somebody who knows how much people will forget or not about history.
There’s a journal entry we found while on a ancestral hunt a few years ago. It was from some dude who’s old and dead a shares my bloodline (I don’t remember how exactly he’s related to me or how many greats back that is). Anyway he wrote his thoughts on the titanic and how it would sink on its first trip. His reasoning was it was made of metal. And yes I know that that wasn’t a new concept around that time he was just an idiot. He also worked in concrete and wrote about how it was superior to steel for shipbuilding. I want everyone to know that his cause of death was drowning in a bathtub. I now understand where the stupid comes from in my family
This was disturbing to watch but heart breaking to know that people died inside that ship and also went down with the Titanic. RIP to all those lost soul's 💔😢
Maybe some found an air tight compartment and survived for a few days, or weeks, until the air ran out. Maybe, if the compartment was big enough, they managed to start a little society of survivors, who figured out how to make oxygen from the sea water. Maybe there are people down there today, who are the descendants of the original passengers. Oblivious of the outside world...... Lol. Makes for the plot of a really really bad B movie, doesn't it..... Lol
@@thomasfleig1184 All would've died on the way down, the pressure would've ripped them up and they would've literally imploded on themselves. If they somehow managed to survive that the initial hit onto the ocean floor would've killed them.
You know there was a fish swimming in the ocean that faithful night when out of nowhere a BIGASS ship passes by on its way to the ocean floor. I wonder what that fish thought?
What is creeping me out the most about this, is that there were people in there, trapped in a ship that was sinking, filling with water. While watching at this, I was asking my self, when was the last soul drowned, at what height was it over for them all? That one scene in the movie, where the mother reads a bedtime story to her children, laying on a bed with them and being fully aware, that they are going to drown, is so scary. The worst thing is, that there were more people on board, mothers with smaller children, fathers that never came back and quite obviously pets who were in the same position.
Yeah I only just found out the titanic had it’s only kennel, my heart broke a lot more for those animals than the people, whom were left even more helpless 😢
probably just a few hundred metres until a still living person might faint and black out into subconsciousness. pressure gets so heavy after short time. and it goes down quite fast, too. the bow took five minutes to hit the sea floor. a submarine takes two to three hours for the same travel down to the wreck site. at a depth of about 4km down the sea level, water pressure is so immense that even bones are crushed (bones contain small pockets of air to be lighter in weight, they're not solid)
@@the_rover1 and what about them compensates? Is them gone after 100 years or cause the pressure, or maybe there is some of them still inside the Titanic?
I have wondered the same thing. Not just the last person but all of them. I presume that they all drowned, but could there have been pockets of the wreck that was without water? And if so, could any victim see if hear what was happening? I know ocean water pressure is too much for a human body to sustain itself and that is why no bodies are found in the ocean floor with the exception of their shoes. It's so horrible to think about but I do wonder.
Mario Tschenet No bones remain because the salt in the water decomposed them within the first 5 years after the sea animals ate the flesh off of them. Sorry to sound gross but that’s the truth.
I can't even begin to imagine the dispair of anybody still alive and inside the ship after it dipped below the surface. Must have been absolutely terrifying.
They were killed instantly by the implosion. The walls of the hull probably collapses at about 1,500 miles per hour. Those people had no idea what hit them. Thankfully it was quick
Always wondered what it would have looked like/ sounded like on the ocean floor at the point of impact. Like being in a diving suit (obviously not possible at that depth) and watching the front of the titanic apear from the darkness of the ocean and slam into the ocean floor right infront of you. Creepy but fascinating
It would've been pitch black unless you thought to bring a flashlight. The impact would've sounded like a train collision, and the debris hitting the ocean floor would've sounded like gunshots. Does that help?
What gets me is how devastated the stern section is. I mean it literally imploded. How the deck peeled back as it landed and how the parts just planed off as it went down. The bow section pretty much landed in one piece, though that final plunge of water out of the hatch is incredible to think of. Likely water displacement. Thanks for this upload. I'm a rivet counter.
“Yep, that looks good. Okay, yeah…now the ship is sinking with all those poor folks still trapped inside. Yep, that looks pretty good. Badabing-badaboom.” A nice sentiment to a tragic event for all those who lost their lives on that fateful night.👍🏻
Imagine that harsh feeling of loneliness and despair as you begin to descend from the surface and the little light quickly fades. The monstrous sounds of metal bending and water crushing. Your head is in agony more and more from the pressure as you fall deeper and deeper into the darkness and void. Especially if you had your wife of child in your arms whilst decending into that darkness. Imagine the cramping fear and dread. JUST IMAGINE IT.
Realizing something that I've never thought of before. It would have been quite a sight to see the wreck when it was still new, just weeks after the sinking. You would see paint, shined metal, and a level of detail that was lost ages ago. You would however see bodies and carnage. When they show shoes and cloths, remember that was a body. The flesh and bone is dissolved over a long time but it leaves fabrics and especially leather shoes that would have been treated with chemicals. Everytime you see shoes remeber there were feet in those shoes.
@@donniemontoya9300 Hey genius. The bodies were all on the surface. No one below decks would still be inside when the massive wave rushed through the place. Those people also would not be dumb enough to actually stay below deck. Also, they didn't have time to put on their clothes as most of the bodies were second and third class passengers who WOULD HAVE BEEN IN BED. In other words, they were in sleepwear. All the clothing you find on the ocean floor is day wear, ie pants and outerwear. All the clothing on the ocean floor came from their luggage, you twit. Ocean water SLOWS degradation, stupid. Bone NEVER dissolves. That's why you can dig up bones thousands of years later.
blnstr Especially inappropriate regarding the fact that this is the scene of many deaths. Cameron is pretty flippant about what's happening-- he clearly doesn't appreciate the human dimension of the disaster. The music is disrespectful too. This isn't for entertainment.
Julia D he was saying that about the animation and how he wanted it to look. You people take this way to seriously. "Bada Bing bada boom that's what we're looking for." Oh no, he was being so rude to the people who died! Oh my gosh this is so unprofessional. He is very disrespectful! I mean like how stupid can people be? He's not rude or inprofessional. God this world.
Ive been obsessed with this story since i first heard about it at 10 years old..only one book existed on the subject...Walter Lords A NIGHT TO REMEMBER...Couldnt get enough of it
I remember watching a scene in 1984's Ghostbusters as a kid where the "Titanic finally arrived" and a lot of ghosts dressed in that era come out. I had no clue what Titanic was then, but now I'm intrigued by this ship.
I remember that-and take note that the movie was made a year before Titanic was discovered and the movie showed the "300 foot gash" in her side that everyone assumed had sunk her. In reality, if Titanic had a wound that massive, she would have sunk much more quickly than she did.
As an engineer I'd like to see those five single-ended boilers from the No.1 boiler-room and the two sections of the double-bottom (That formed the floor of the No.1 boiler-room) raised and preserved in a museum.
Imagine being in one of the cabins = watertight, and all you can feel is the growing air pressure as the ship sank. Maybe there's still a watertight cabin on the Titanic with passengers wondering where in the hell their breakfast is?
The water tights had no ceilings. That's part of why it went down so quick. They weren't designed with a ceiling. So was it watertight? Ehhhh. Once enough pressure hit the floor of whatever was on top of it, broke thru, it took the rest of the ship.
@@toddkurzbard THANKYOU! I swear to god I'm at the point of rolling my eyes whenever I see the words 'wAtERtiGhT CaBiNs'....the ship didn't even have adequate lifeboat provisions let alone a fucking watertight cabin feature
Those supposed explosions heard just before the ship broke up and sank may have been bulkheads separating under the extreme stress they were being put under, which probably explains how the ship separated into two sections so easily.
Am I the only one who gets, I dunno, "creeped out", the moment of the sinking starting at where the bow breaks off and starts it's way down? Maybe that isn't the right word. I mean, I'm envisions how huge and heavy all of it is, just cruising at a fairly good clip, BUT it's happening in pitch black water, and everything was so brand new, which is ridiculously terrible, then absolutely horrifying when I'm envisioning actual human LIFE going down with all of it as well. Really, I'm trying not to sound corny or anything, but things expensive and new, a long with dying, about to be dead, and already dead going along for the ride. But probably the absolute WORST? Being VERY ALIVE, say, in a cabin or room that water had NOT gotten to yet, while sinking miles down in absolute blackness. #NOTaGoodTimeAtALL !! 😱😱😱
Karl E Paul Imagine that harsh feeling of loneliness and despair. Especially if you had your wife of child in your arms whilst decending into that darkness.
I get what you mean, sorta. I have submechanophobia, which means Im afraid of manmade objects in or under water. I can be on a boat with no problems, but being in water near a boat makes me shiver.
What gets me is the bodies. When they eventually discovered the location of the wreck they discovered the two halves of the ship are about 600 metres apart, with a debris field in between. The debris field would have contained many bodies after the sinking, but by the time the wreck was discovered they'd all gone, consumed by the sea. You can only imagine what that debris field would have looked like a few days after the ship went down.
I get the same feeling. They say it was so heavy and travelling so fast the survivors were able to feel both halves hit the bottem nearly 2 and a half miles beneath them.
I wonder how deep they can do down into the ship. Like it would be so interesting to see the hallways in 3rd class and the small cabins. I bet there's still miles of hallways in the bow that nobody has seen since she sank. Such an interesting piece of history!!
Pretty sure there were still people inside when it went down. I think the same thing. Imagine realizing that the ship is sinking to the ocean floor and you're trapped inside. I'm pretty sure the pressure would kill you anyways before you hit the bottom.
@@BookBird2963 Yeah, but they probably went down the first 40 or 50 meters with the ship, and that is terrifying to think about it though, you realize that the lights are getting darker each second it passes, you realize that you can't breathe, lots of water get in your lungs, you start coughing and every cough it hurts like hell, coughing to only get more water inside of you, you start feeling the preassure, and then you feel like you are losing consciousness, and here is when you end the suffering, you become unconscious, and then you die, so yeah, those who went down with the ship had to suffer a lot for a short time.
Now, that is a lot of distance though, so they most likely died before they could have reached the sea floor, or at least near it. Scenario in bow section (opinion): Quite calm, very stable speed, but you start losing air every 1 millisecond, then you become unconscious. If you survived that long time, then congratulations, now it’s time for the aqua bulldozer (extreme pressure), then you die. Scenario in stern (opinion): Ahhh this is so uncomfortable, then short time later, extreme pressure, again, but you’re in mid water. That pressure injured you so much, that you are immobile. That implosion could have done two things, you got thrown away, or remained insine, but experienced extreme pressure. If you got thrown away, you can’t really swim up, since it’s very deep now, and you have little air left. Now if you experienced extreme pressure, you’re most likely dead. If you are lucky to have surfaced from the water in scenario one though, then you are very likely to have little energy left, and will become unconscious. Surviving in the ship while underwater already is 00000000001%.
No one would of survived more than 40 to 50 seconds when the Titanic went under because one the bow was completely flooded and two the stern imploded about 40 seconds after it went under the water causing the walls to collapse
The ship was totally destroyed in the sinking although it held up pretty well until about the last 10 minutes giving time to launch lifeboats, none of which were filled to capacity. Launching the boats must have been carried out in almost complete darkness as the ships lights didn't help much. There were no flood lights along the sides of the ship. It's a shame the Titanic didn't stop and wait until daylight to find its way around the huge icefield in its path. That's what the Californian did. That's one thing its captain did right.
It wasn't until late in the game when people finally started to realize the gravity of the situation and figured they better get out of here! :-) Does anyone ever think about all the widows and children made orphans by the "women and children first" rule? I read about one man who asked to accompany his pregnant wife into a lifeboat. Lightoller wouldn't let him go. He drowned. I'd bet that lifeboat wasn't full, either.
Well, the owner of the White Star Line, Mr. Ismay wanted to give the public a headline of how quickly the Titanic would have crossed the Atlantic, by arriving early in New York, in pushing the captain to go as fast as the ship could muster. Thereby sealing her fate, but if they had hit it head on, then they probably could have survived long enough for the California or Carpathia to arrive hours later.
Conjecture has always floated around about whether or not hitting it head on would have saved the ship, or slowed the sinking, but you can't blame the crew for trying to steer around it. That's human instinct. After that, everything turned to chaos and mismanagement. Stanley Lord did one thing right. He decided to stop and find his way around the ice in daylight. Why no one thought to turn on the radio to find out what was going on right under their nose will always be baffling.
What gets me is when you see footage of the ship under water, its hard to see or imagine how enormous it actually is. I'm sure if you were there yourself and see it with your own eyes, you would only then see the full scale of it
It's crazy that, even if you jumped off the stern of the titanic as the rear section disappeared into the water, you would be caught in its downdraft and get pulled right into the ocean along with it anyway.
Its like watching chernobyl disaster, or a black hole documentary. There is this feel of something omnious and fascinating playing its part during the event.
Amazing video thank you. I was very curious how far the pieces were from each other. Didn’t realize the back of the ship got destroyed like that either. Thank you.
Well done. It’s interesting, and a bit terrifying to think about sinking as free ‘falling’ for two miles. Next time you are on a flight, if able, look down at the ground when they level off, which in my location, is about at ten thousand feet. That’s a good idea of approximately how high the ship ‘flying’ was above land below. All boats/ships are really ‘flying’, and defying gravity. Sobering.
So cool to see the Downblast effect like that, so much physics that is so cool i never considered and learned something!! Lets Go! Yet, its always been there and makes sense!
