Titanic Disaster Interviews (1970) 

Wealthy people who could afford private doctors and had a better standard of living tended to live a lot longer back then, things are far more equal these days. If you were an average Joe born in the 1880s, you could expect to have lived until you were 45-50, and have a life of back breaking labour 12 hours a day after an hour's walk to work, a Poor diet, if you had bad eyesight you lived with it, if you had a bad tooth you either paid a barber to rip it out or do it yourself. Infections or injuries that required medical treatment, forget it unless you paid for a private doctor or surgeon, no antibiotics, anti inflammatory or blood thinning tablets. And being involved in hard labour, work injuries were common, you couldn't work you couldn't earn, you begged borrowed or stole, or stumbled around crippled and died in pain on a bench somewhere. No compensation, no benefits, no pensions, no nothing. All these and many other pitfalls were largely avoided by the wealthy. Tracing my family tree back to the early 1700s I can find dozens of relatives who died in their late 40s, and dozens of child deaths " under 5 year's old. Out of about 200 names from 1800-1920 close to 50% died before they were 50 year's old, and about 25 before they were 5. Then as we progress through the first part of the 20th century infant deaths quickly slow down, life expectancy increases by 10-15 year's over the first half of the 20th century. It's now at about 80, but this is purely an average but a high % make it to this age, compared to just 2% back in the late Victorian time

Really? I MET people who were born in the 1800's.

@@YortOK That means you are also really old

@@alo_molinas No it means you're very young. I'm in my early 40's and met great grand parents.

Why is that amazing? There are countless audio and filmed interviews with people born in the 19th century.

Watching this in MAY 2024 thinking of wow 🤯

Because there was no tv, no video games. They read or played games together, or just had conversations.

BECAUSE EVERYONE EXCHANGED STORIES AND JOKES ONLY IN PERSON, never on some internet bs.

Today children don't even know how to write their names in cursive or write an essay with paper and pen and that's no exaggeration. It's traumatic how much society has changed since I was a child (I'm 48). Remember, my age and older didn't grow up with even TV, or Cable (what was available was weak at best if your parents Even allowed it in the house), smartphones, computer, iPad, or streaming music or movies, or video console games (didn't really exist before 2000 & I was married with 2 children, a FT job, & when 2000 came around, i had no time or desire for this internet thing. But we knew how to tell stories, we knew how to listen to others, we knew how to entertain ourselves when nothing like today existed and Even our phones Hung on a wall inside your house and weren't movable and so we learned from our parents and grandparents how to listen, and sit still to hear what we now call podcasts today but they told them over an AM/FM radio that had to plug in a wall and has to have an antenna that got signal to relay that storytime to us plus our great ancestors told us fascinating probably half false or embellished stories that I think we thought were hiring back then but today we listen with an easy so pitched on their story in fear that we may never have that again and it's happening. Storytime isn't what it used to be. I know we can't go backwards but if we could, I would not allow technology into my family's lives. Actually I didn't, it was society that put those things in my families lives and eventually ours and now we can't live everyday without these ridiculous gadgets that destroy us but help us on the way to destruction, how peachy is that?!

Because the older generations were way more intelligent! If they wanted to communicate they had to write it down on paper. Of course you would be able to have amazing storytelling skill back then! They're only form of entertainment really was reading books. Reading books makes you outstandingly intelligent.

I could listen to my grandparents for days. I wish I had a lot of them still. I wish I listened more.

Henry Ford are you- are you being serious?

Henry Ford according to you some random page with a bunch of links is comparable to an actual education? You sir are a fool. People like you will be the first to perish should something ever happen because you are so involved in what might be.

@Henry Ford What do you believe?

Just like how i didn't believe my mom when she told me that my great grandpa was a municipal president in our province. Not until my brother went to the municipal office and saw our great grandpa's picture.

Henry Ford go.to.hell. You are extremely disrespectful

Here we are now almost 108 years later

As I post this, tomorrow is the 45th anniversary of her passing.

Craig Gibbons 98*

Edith Rosenbaum was pretentious, but she's one of the few Titanic survivors whose accounts you can trust with certainty. A lot of other survivors were so old and senile in their interviews during the 70s and 80s, that they were incoherent at times, but here she was at 90 giving a veritable account of what happened.

@@Zenigundam she!? Are you blind. It's a bloke and he is an actor. Jesus people open your eyes

The 2nd gentleman was, wasn’t he?

They all died probably, they let the rich on the life boats first.

@@OneBadAssMoMoyes he was you’re right!

3rd class passengers probably would’ve been in the lower levels of the ship, meaning they probably would’ve had a lower chance of surviving :(

That probably because they're all dead...

Have to agree fully.

She’s Irish/ lived in America

⁠@@jxkee0228She was American.

Why it was film from 1970. Really nothing special. You must really like the 1939 film from the Wizard of Oz!

You're amazing.

still amazing​@@dontcare563

The gentleman agreed with her.

Meh, to be fair, eyewitness accounts are some of the most unreliable forms of evidence. She could very well have never heard any music. But it doesn't mean there wasn't any. Or she could have simply blocked it out, forgotten it. Plus she specifically said she doesn't doubt the band played or that the others who said they heard it, just that it wasn't playing "as it went down." The other guy said he didn't hear music but saw them standing about with instruments in hand... Just differing perceptions of an uber dynamic and chaotic situation.

No way would music be soothing to people who are about to either freeze to death or drown. You mean to tell me someone said "oh God there's no more life boats left! We're going down with this ship." But just then someone else replied "well at least the band is playing some very nice music."

Her eyes looked like they were tearing up as she was talking about locking the 19 trunks and leaving them behind forever, only bringing the 19 keys with her 😂 It seemed like she was more upset about losing whatever was in all those 19 trunks than she was about anything else that happened that day 😂

​@@Grey-ln1bzif you go through a traumatic experience your brain does weird things, sometimes recalling the most mundane detail can recall all the feels

She might still be alive but very old now

@@alejandroperez-yy9ym What was her name?

Yeah, fair call, say she was 30 in the interview, so born 1940, would be 84 today 😮

Think it was the ship hitting the iceberg

🤣👌​@@HuwEvans.

They didn't have enough lifeboats either!

​@@AhJodie And painful part is that it was negligence of a nearby captain of a ship called HMS Carpathia,, who saw Titanic's distress signal but failed to evacuate them. So absurd.

@@conversationovertea7457 You're thinking of the California. The Carpathia raced to Titanic and picked up the survivors when it arrived.

How did it go?

Gwenith Emily How was it?

Gwenith Emily - good choice!👍🏻👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🥰🙂😌🥰

Edith Russell was way ahead of her time. Very Cool. May god bless you wherever you are.

Did You do it right ?

And why are you angry I thought she is man when I first watch video relax bro

Idk how y'all saw a man. Smh

Derrickonater which I have done at the end of my masterpiece. Never seen before footage. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x0muIGMtDJM.html .

People may scoff at this, and that's okay because even I am not sure exactly what I think about it. For decades, I have had a recurring sense that, in another life, I was aboard the Titanic. I don't know in what capacity (passenger, crew, etc.), and I don't know whether or not I survived. I just feel as though I was actually there.

If you are really interested in first-hand accounts, there are transcripts from the hearings that took place afterwards that fill a very thick book. It is very interesting.

Thank you for posting. Titanic now heading toward iceburg

Henry Ford ARE YOU OKAY IN THE HEAD

@Alex Compton Pretty cool!

Henry Ford I have identified the people involved in this scam at the end of my masterpiece. Their bloodlines are still using the fake news to dupe useful idiots called liberals but not limited to liberals. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x0muIGMtDJM.html

bishreksual girl the globalists use liberals as useful idiots and the fake news assists them. Check out the end of my masterpiece part 6

@@onyxopal9244 helped build a hoax ship. This woman speaking in this video is clearly a man and the acting is terrible. I worry for humanity. We get hoaced to death and the sheep still don't see it.

Rosenbaum.

You'd be surprised at what you can accomplish in life if you are born wealthy and never have to work :)

​@@destructionman1 Or if you're brilliant like John Paul DeJoria or Starbucks founder like Howard Shultz.

​@@destructionman1if I was born into $ I'd help people. The best feeling in life is to help others imo

Some 3rd class passengers (most of whom were 'poor') were, indeed, saved. Not as many as 1st & 2nd class, but some. The gentleman with the thick glasses was 3rd class.

Cap

Oh I though he was a man 😱

@@ahmedsaed698 how the hell does she look like a man 😂

Laughing so hard!!!!

@@ahmedsaed698 a woman's voice?

@@ahmedsaed698 nope but you’re an idiot

The pig now resides at Greenwich maritime museum .

I agree

Hey, she cheated death twice. She earned her eccentricity!

Apparently in her last years she was a very mean resident of the hotel she lived at in London. She’d threaten to sue anyone who bothered her, even those who delivered her food or mail. She also rarely let housekeeping in, and died in utter filth. Maybe because of some cognitive decline or just because she didn’t give a damn at the age of 95.. Edith Russel still lived one hell of an eventful, remarkable life.

Joseph Beierschmitt really I didn’t know that.Maybe she had PTSD and paranoid after the incident 😕

ssscyborg1987 don’t take it the wrong way, but she seemed like a woman of immense swagger and haughtiness, given her wealthy background and prominent occupation for a woman of her time. She was a 33 yr old first class passenger traveling solo, after all. Very intelligent and for the age of 90, when this documentary aired, had a remarkably vivid memory.

He did a bad a job. Lol.

@@MartinAthletics how is that funny

@@MartinAthletics bruh what they hand made it

They sank the Olympia it’s twin for insurance

Because the footage was recorded in February 1912, the enclosed promenade was quite literally a last minute change at the end of March 1912

krimskrams that's not her

Why so mean? People cannot help how they physically look. People can help the way they act towards others though:( seems like she was from upper class.

@@cynthiaharrell2144 She was. She was a very remarkable woman, but as we all see, she comes off as alittle shrewd.

krimskrams I'll get you my pretty!

Ur daily shitpoaster i think WWII made up for the discrepancy a little

and 8 keys for all her trunks! She sure as heck didnt travel light 😮

me too; she's a babe

She's really beautiful isn't she

I heard his Name was Rosa Augustine

Woman? Uh no way.

she'd be an old woman now

"I'm a lift boy." (Meaning, he was employed as an elevator attendant, I think.)

@@nickdaniels4385 Lift operator.

Thankyou for asking this

@@nickdaniels4385 Yes you are right as we British call it a life while americans call it an elevator

@@Waterford1992 We call it a 'LIFT'...

Britney Spears

Arthur lewis

@@chrisblair3445 believe it or not, Arthur was actually my great grandmother’s grandad! I never got to actually meet him as I’m only 16 but I wish I would’ve had the chance.

@@elreydelmundo06 he would have had so much insight about the tragic voyage on this legendary ship

@@chrisblair3445 absolutely, what I would give to have even one conversation with him.

A stuffed pig. At least, I think it's a stuffed pig (I can't tell for sure).

"Woman"?

For entertainment

Yes, still alive and living with santa and the elves

OlympIC… She was damaged in a collision with HMS Hawke in September 1911, and was repaired and returned to service in November 1911. At that time, Titanic was far from finished, there was no finished ship to switch Olympic with. As for insurance, well, it would have been a bit pointless considering the fact that Titanic was underinsured.

No it woman

One day u will work it out the difference

Shut up you idiot!!! Disgraceful

@@mattcall7467 😂😂

Sorry, but how can you be so confused?? The difference is obvious.

Well. They were not "allowed" to cross dress back in the day, so this is a man who transitioned without telling anyone.

One day u will work it out.
