@@ChrisBPlayz You can pick up "On A Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the RMS Titanic" through most retailers, but sometimes they don't order enough to meet demand, so sometimes Amazon will be out of stock. Don't go for first or second edition hardbacks, only go for the Third Edition (softcover), which has all of the latest revisions in print. If you would like to order direct from the publisher, Amberley Books (based in the UK), they usually have a good supply on hand. You can also pick up a copy of our latest book, "Titanic: Solving the Mysteries", which has some groundbreaking research in there on the time difference between Titanic's clocks and time ashore, and also about the timing of certain late wireless transmissions -- which has overturned a lot of old, often-repeated (but never thoroughly studied for accuracy) 'factoids'. This includes the late transmission overheard by the Virginian, which did not come from Titanic, which has been referred to elsewhere in these comments.
2 : 20 AM Titanic is gone. Survivors on the surface report hearing the ship breaking apart... ' * Pitch darkness * Water is freezing, you will die from hypothermia within 16 minutes * A ship that you were on literally just sank making all sorts of scary noises.. * Even if you are in a lifeboat you have to suffer from the cold, hear the screams and cries of people in the water slowly dying.. * And the ship is now underwater, continuously breaking apart.. Nightmare, this is the definition of a nightmare, RIP all those who died that night.
But one guy lived through that cold out there in the water because he was boozed up on whiskey! I always heard it made it 10 times worse? Makes you think if people drank like him maybe more would have survived..
@@sbphillips177 A ship is sinking in the middle of freezing nowhere, Not enough lifeboats = passengers know they will probably die since the water is freezing and you won't last long in it ( hypothermia ) In a disaster scenario like that, it has a huge impact on the human mind, and those passengers couldn't really think logically. Everyone was busy trying to stay on the ship a bit more and stay out of the water, I bet most of them weren't going " alcohol warms up the body and therefore....if I get drunk I could survive the water ? " in their heads, the priority is stay away from the damn water.
@@danieldoo1821 Agree 1000%..I was just infering that it was possibly a ticket to living if it did what I mistakenly thought it did..I thought the guy was just drunk and in a lifejacket in rhe water like everyone not clinging aboard anything and miraculously lived..someone miscomunicated what I read.I see someone wrote below the guy lived because he was out of the water..I knew something was off wirh that story.
"I did not wish to see her go down. I am glad I did not." -J. Bruce Ismay I think he's been unfairly villainized. He was an absolute wreck after the disaster and obviously cared about what happened.
@Buba Joe No, they were humans, with natural human-like fears. You can brag about what you THINK you would have done, but I am 100% certain that if you were in those boats, you'd be just as afraid of your boat getting swamped.
@Buba Joe I hope one day you get the chance to be on a sinking ship, in icey cold waters and get to back up your claims of bravery and heroism. Its easy to speculate when your feet are on solid land, warm and dry. Safe in your home. Not in the pitch black, miles from land in the frozen sea watching your beloved ship dissapear into the depths...
Joseph Bruce Ismay insisted that the number of life boats be cut in half to maximize deck space and insisted that Titanic increase her speed. He is the reason for the disaster, the reason the majority of people died, and he was a coward that snuck his way onto a life boat and got away with his life while the people he purposefully and knowingly put at risk froze and drowned.
This is the most accurate version of the sinking of the Titanic according to all the eyewitnesses, thank you! and as James Cameron said: "You can make the most accurate guess as possible, but you will never know what really happened there."
I absolutely agree. I'm sure we will never have it truly 100 percent right. Who knows, maybe it rolled onto its side more so than we think it did. Never know. But we can be pretty close though in terms of guessing.
Thank you. We tried very hard to get this as close to a 'bullseye' between what eyewitnesses reported and the forensic evidence on the wreck. We have a few things to tweak out, we hope, for next year, but what you see here is the result of a LOT of work and research on the subject over the course of many years.
@@reminiscer15 I always wondered why they don’t just debunk the theory by building another life size titanic and hitting and iceberg on the side and see how it goes down? I mean without people of course and on broad daylight. That would be cool to watch.
I actually prefer Cameron's film version as it is based off of eyewitness accounts. It was Lightoller who said the ship got to an angle of "about 60 degrees" -- Eva Hart who saw it break in half. Both Hart said the ship stood straight up, or, as Lightoller said, "absolutely perpendicular" Perhaps they didn't see what they thought they saw but the fact that it's based on eyewitness accounts adds an authenticity to it that the ever changing videos on how it "really happened" can't.
It's amazing that back then they could build such an impressive ship with no computer technology, no CAD software or anything. Just hand drawn blueprints and wicked smart people.
This has to be the most magnificent and yet most chilling recreation I have seen to date. Titanic in full sail, even with a few bugs, is awe inspiring. The collision scene short sharp and drives home how heartbreakingly vulnerable the ship really was. The final breakup was utterly horrific and terrifying. At this point I am of the opinion that had I lived to that moment in the sinking the ship ripping herself apart would have put me into cardiac arrest.
It looked like every other ship of its day, just slightly bigger. Olympic and Britannic were both about on the same scale, and they are not legendary ships. Human beings are ghouls. This was a worst fear for many people playing out on a pitch black night in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't have anything to do with the ship. By today's standards, she's plain. It's human fascination with disaster, suffering, and mass death. If she'd missed the berg, you'd have never heard of her.
@@ko7577 you can shut off the projector. I have an absolute love for history and respect for those lost. To have as accurate as possible a grasp on how an event happened does not make for a ghoul. It makes for someone desiring not to repeat history.
The thing that shocked me was the speed of the sinking after the water reached the bridge. Most of the ship was still above the sea, but just a few minutes later it was all gone. A nightmare, shall everyone rest in peace.
2:32:41 Pay attention to the B Deck windows. Those are going down extremely fast even at this point! You have to realise that once C Deck was going under, stuff sped up SO much.
Because during a sinking like the Titanic (damaged hull) there are usually 3 phases. The first is rush of water inside the ship which very fast until it subsidizes and slows down a lot when the air pressure inside the ship equalizes. The ship is then in a sort of "stable situation" for a bit in which she sinks but it's relatively slow and this lasts until the ship still has enough reserve buyonacy. When the water weight is enough to cause the ship to be to dense to float, it starts to sink again very fast plunging down into the sea
I was just going to comment on this. Even at around 2:05 with the band playing their final songs, the forecastle deck is still somewhat out of the water. It's amazing to think that in only 15 minutes it's broken in multiple pieces and gone. Such a quick death. Amazing.
@@ShawnieP512 Once the water started to reach those open public spaces on the upper decks it was going to speed up drastically. Up until that point the only way for the water to enter the ship is through the damage from the collision, and apart from the cargo holds and the damaged engine rooms there are a lot of tight corridors so not a lot of space for the water to occupy, it really speeds up once the water found other ways to enter the ship on the higher decks.
Thank you, Liam. I have to admit that seeing those last 5-10 minutes with the correct music playing and seeing the ship take its final plunge and break up and sink the way it was actually reported to have happened -- with the sound effects? It leaves me physically shaky every time I watch and listen to it.
@@atlanticliners question here: if this animation is based on the book, why a 19 degree angle is depicted before the break when the book says the ship was at a 30 degree angle when it broke?
@@GamePlayerZ1912 Very observant! Good question. We are continually refining our research and conclusions on the matter, and as we worked on this animation, we found reason to alter our previous conclusions somewhat. We still have some refinements to make, but that is the great thing about Titanic: serious study always nets more information.
@@atlanticliners tbh I really think a 30 degree angle makes more sense, as it accounts with the survivors, who said people were slipping off the ship. In anyways, I also found interesting the breakup theory, it's good to finally see a visible break that actually makes sense, Mengot's theory had it's hidden break issue, now I feel this one gets a more accurate view at it.
@@atlanticliners and also, to help with the research, I would recommend taking a look at the sparks leaving off the 2nd funnel as it collapses, it has been reported by a good amount of survivors, most noticeably Jack Thayer. And one more thing, the panic on the ship likely started at 1:32 AM and slowly increased throughout the rest of the sinking (because at that moment people would see the forecastle disappearing in the water and realize the ship was sinking), instead of starting at 2:17 AM like the animation depicts.
Wow, the breakup totally caught me off guard. I can now understand why some eye witnesses argued it sank in one peice. I remember reading an article in a Dutch newspaper around 1998 which had a comic like sequence of the sinking depicting certain movements of the ship during sinking which I have not seen in any recreations until this one.
I agree. In some angles, it actually does look like it's sinking in one piece. Especially from far away. Basically if you were very close, especially facing the boat deck, it would be very obvious that it broke in half. But if you were much further away and potentially even looking at the back of the ship, it would look more like it sank intact, maybe just losing some parts of it here and there.
The cinematography of this video is absolutely incredible. I personally prefer this video than the other real time sinking videos. Great work and thank you for posting!
What is more horrific is, All that ocean water flooding the ship, How heavy did the bow section get that it literally pulled the stern out of the lethal water into the air, and the pressure of that broke the ship into 2. Water, if it's in the ocean, can be a scary thing.
Right in the opening of this video I want to congratulate the team behind its creation. I have been fascinated by the RMS Titanic disaster as far back as I can remember, and the creators managed to provide the viewer with a perspective of the impressive size of the ship right from the early frames. No other animation or SFX representation of the ship that I have seen shows the scale of this vessel like this video. Seriously impressive! This is also the first representation I recll ever seeing in which the speed in which Titanic's deadly injury was identified. Every report or account I have ever read suggested it took much longer for SSmith and his crew to identify that she was mortally wounded. Not an extreme length of time, mind you, but longer than is shown here.
2:40:30 -- The Titanic seen from several hundred yards away: although the people in the boats would have _seen_ nothing much more than a silhouette, they would have _heard_ the splitting steel, the churning water, and the screams of the hundreds still on board the ship or in the water perfectly well: water is an incredible carrier of sound.
Water doesn't just cause sound carrying effects, it also act as a powerful echo generator, making the noise even more ominous than it would naturally be
If you've read what the survivors said, they could see plenty. No one said "It was so dark I didn't see when the ship sank" It may have been dark, but it was;t pitch black, like many commenters seem to think.
Their eyes would have been slowly adjusting as the power faded to an orange color. The 1997 movie shows super bright lights that suddenly snap out, but it was really a more gradual process.
I never knew Andrews ran like hell terrified up the grand staircase each deck from below to tell the Captain on the bridge that the ship is destined to sink. The film made him seem mostly calm. But yeah, the horror he must have felt once he saw 5 compartments breached with no hope of getting the water out must have been like a fist grabbing his heart.
@@thweepz your wrong tho. No one was really that low in the ship at that time because its only cargo and the first people to know of the water would be Boiler Room 6, 5 and the "mail clerks". They did not die early because they were spotted on the top decks as well. And also, people are not really trapped in the ship. The bulkheads do not have watertight doors on the ceilings or something. All they have to do is go up a deck higher, so they wouldn't have died earlier. The mail clerks dragged the mail one Deck higher when water reached the mail room (9 mins after collision), then even higher when water reached the next deck
@@thoji215 maybe I’m wrong about the internal. I always thought that they would have to travel through some of the doors to get up to the compartments that had an outlet to the upper decks. That’s what they did on the britannic during shift change so I thought the same would apply for Titanic.
Amazing animation thank you, also just wanted to point out in the voice over of captain smith where he orders Murdoch to close the watertight doors and Boxhall to inspect the bow for any damage, in his interview in 1962 Boxhall stated that Smith did not ask him to inspect the ship, he did it almost immediately after the ship hit the iceberg of his own accord and then reported back to the captain. Other than that this has got to be the most accurate I’ve seen and so very detailed. Thanks again for uploading :)
To me it seems that Boxhall was very busy during the whole sinking. First he inspected and checked the Mail Room, later he was engaged with computing the position of the ship for the distress calls, getting and firing the distress rockets, trying to contact the ghost ship by morse lights, then commanding lifeboat no 2 and entering the Carpathia as the first lifeboat, reporting to Captain Rostron. I wished that Captain Smith would have been so engaged rather than paralized.
Yes, this animation is highly accurate and phenomenal, but,..it depicts a true event, a real life tragedy, I admit the way it is made is awesome, but what it portrays, it's utter nightmare. RIP all those who died in the worst maritime disaster for a passenger liner..
I watched your prior video when it came out. But this newer one left me speechless. It's very moving. Especially the sound and having actors voice the parts that you've added. I've never seen anything like this. You're recreating what happened to people so others can understand what they went through in real time-idk how to explain it-told you I lacked words!
OMG! This was incredibly done. I watched it all the way through and the timing is just... wow. You actually get a sense of what the people were going through right from the beginning. It gave me goosebumps. I felt like I was there. My heart broke as I watched the water rushing in. Thank you for posting this. You guys did an awesome job!
The sound effects and vouces are very haunting. I started watching this unexpectedly, late the other night, and I couldnt stop. An amazing and fitting piece of work that sat with me for a while afterwards. RIP to all those that lost their lives that night.
'2:20AM - Titanic is gone.' Still the most haunting moment is the last - perhaps the only moment unchanged from the original sinking animation/video, but still, by a country mile, the most poignant, and the most haunting.
I think your version of the break-up is by far the most accurate as this is in fact how most survivors actually said it happened. The fact that she broke twice not once . Very nice animation !
@TheRealLoganYT eh if they pull their cards right with modern technology and engineering, her second life will be life she never had. Carrying her legacy out, and hopefully one day she would have the chance to travel the stars.
Blown away by how amazing this animation is and how much work went into its making. Absolutely heartbreaking and terrifying 😢 I cannot even begin to imagine the fear of everyone that night. May they all rest in peace.
@Jolly Jumper I 100% agree. It’s the metal groaning that really gets me. Especially at 2:38:45 - 2:39:04. It’s like the ship is fighting: trying as hard as she can to stay afloat, and screaming in anguish in the process. Just horrifying.
This was honestly amazing. In my opinion the best real time animation so far. You and the authors of On a Sea of Glass did perfectly in researching and making this.
Stunning. No big-screen musical score, no stern crashing back overdramatically, Best of all, no Jack and Rose. This should be the go-to video when looking for a TITANIC sinking video.
Thank you! This is so much better than the THG Titanic: Final Plunge video that depicts Boat B landing on the Boat Deck sideways, the stern at a very shallow angle when the 2nd funnel falls, and the Stern going down sideways. This is now my go-to Titanic real-time sinking video.
It seems ever since the Titanic: Honor and Glory RU-vid channel uploaded their Real Time Sinking video, more and more of such videos have been popping up on here. I’m sure Vintage Digital Revival would love to recruit those folks so they could contribute their talents to the Titanic: Honor and Glory game that VDR is making.
@@michaelmurray7199 Agreed. Maybe it would put an end to my confusion. I'm following THG and Titanic Animation, now we have this one (which is THG but somewhat looking different). I like the idea of a low-angle break, but I also like the stern having the port list increased during the sinking, sideways as Joshua put it, then vertical, then disappearing. I think this detail is based on Joughin's testimony. Many dismiss it because of alcohol, while on the same accept other parts of his testimony (as it seems to me). As a creator (team) of these animations, you have to make decisions that do not please everybody. What I would like to see is, how the sinking angles changed from the collision leading up to the final plunge. I like the cameras going back and forth, no doubt, but I would like to see a timelaps side-elevation, which could show e.g. first propellor blade surfacing (counting in a list), and at the same time the water level at the bow, etc., or the ther way round, when the water reaches the side bow anchors, what was the sight at the stern?
@@harvestercommander3250 Yes, and I believe that was Joughin, and some seem to not believe it since he consumed alcohol, but on the same side believing him that he heard the ship buckling (first signs of the break-up) as he was in the galley (?) getting himself some water (!). Sounds to me like cherry-picking.
What can I say? You guys have created a definitive work here. A leap in quality compared to what came before matched only by that original pioneering video made five years ago. A masterpiece. A special thank you to all the historians working on the project, bringing a standard of excellence that is so, so necessary in this genre. If this is the future of historical content, much less ocean liner content, I am here for it 100%.
There's at least 1 huge error, saying the last message was sent from Titanic at 2:07 AM. That's factually incorrect. The last signal sent from Titanic was around 2:17 AM. That's a pretty big mistake.
@@raiders7294 Please see the response I made to your other post for updated information. You may also want to have a look at one of our other written works, "Titanic: Solving the Mysteries", which really breaks down the last signals in a lot of detail and helps to dispel some old myths. I hope this helps!
White Star did make this claim, but not without qualification. A promotional leaflet from them stated "as far as it is possible to do so, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable".
Yes plus they show the great liner splitting into 3 and not 2 which we've actually known for a long time but other animations don't show,in fact the middle section separated into 3 on falling to the Ocean floor so two obviously big sections then the big pile and another two I think..
It's scary how fast the final plunge is, as soon as the water overflow onto the bridge area/A deck, it only took about 10 minutes for it all to be gone.
Very fast, yes. About five minutes from the 'slight but definite plunge' where Titanic came back up on an even keel and Collapsible A was swamped (at 2:15) to the final disappearance of the fantail (at 2:20).
@@atlanticliners it’s utterly horrifying. I really do appreciate the work you and all the others have done. I have a question for you though, and I’m not sure if you’ll be able to answer it. It’s totally fine if you can’t for legal reasons, but is this sinking theory going to appear in the final version of Titanic: Honor and Glory?
As I said, the video is a masterpiece, congratulations again to the whole team. But all the people who comment, deserve a round of applause too. The comments are full of respect, experiences and very interesting stories. They are an inexhaustible source of information. You are incredible!!
This was so sad to watch. One can only imagine the chaos, confusion & agony those people suffered. Even the survivors had to suffer PTSD afterward. Most of the women & children lost the man of the family. This video aptly depicts the real life struggles in this tragedy.
Captain says "how much time" andrews replies" an hour....2 at most... and all this, will be at the bottom of the Atlantic.murdoch gulps.captain in utter shock turns to Bruce and says "well I do believe you'll get your headlines mr.ismay"
2:42:19 That guy yelling while steam yeets him away. Found it funny to even add that to this animation. Personally sinking ship accidents are one of my personal biggest fears, there is no quick death and there is no promise of surviving even if you fight to the death to survive, just pure luck that you need and grit to fight tooth and nail to live.
This is so good,im feeling like I'm on the ship right now. Titanic had such a short life,and the passengers had so much to live,the sink of titanic never fails to make me cry.
The animation looks so much better now, with sound fx and the band playing its quite chilling to watch. Thank you for this Levi, Tom, J.Kent Layton and the other authors and historians involved! Also as the description says this video is best watched in 4K if you'r internet can stream it.

I'm a history PhD. I've studied a number of disasters, tragedies, and wars. Nothing evokes in me the awe, dread, and then sorrow I feel anytime I watch or read about the Titanic. I appreciate the quality and care put into this series.
What is amazing about this animation is that not only does it show the latest theory of titanic’s breakup, it also shows the danger of a cold front mirage. Mirage usually happens in desert where rising hot air distorts vision on the horizon, however a cold front mirage can happen in the North Atlantic and distort an image. Titanic’s lookouts could have spotted the iceberg with a naked eye, which was why it baffled historians until one realized the iceberg was hidden by a cold front mirage until it was too late.
This was of the most fascinating things I have ever viewed. The graphics were so well done I continually found myself almost lost within the experience myself. An entirely engrossing film. If I could add one bit of hopefully constructive criticism, asking you to receive it only I that intended manner, it would be this - if you ever adapt of change this in the future, I’d ask that perhaps you adding a little chime, or something, whenever graphic text appears. The experience is amazingly transfixing. As a result, I often found myself wrapped up in the excellent visual detail that I missed (or nearly missed) the text. Several times I had to back up in order to not miss something. That’s all I would ask. Anyone interested in the sinking of the HMS Titanic would very much enjoy this. I’ve already told about a dozen friends and family know about this… two of which are watching it right now, and are immersed. Again, you did one incredible job keeping this story alive. Very very well done. 👏🏼
I should note that the _Titanic’s_ prefix was RMS, which stood for “Royal Mail Ship/Steamer.” HMS was used only by ships of the Royal Navy; at the time, it stood for “His Majesty’s Ship.”
I frankly always assumed the scene of a woman slipping and dangling off the side of the ship in the Cameron film was just for dramatic purposes, but I guess I was wrong, as I also remembered it was featured in A Night To Remember
The woman dangling off the ship happened as she tried to get into lifeboat 10. She was pulled into A Deck, and it is thought she came back up onto the Boat Deck and got into the lifeboat after all.
@@billwormstedt9494 Surprised they didn't just lower the boat to A deck and let her get on from there rather than waiting for her to walk back up to get on again. Would have saved some time too, every second counts.
This and Historic Travels made me get the book On A Sea Of Glass, a lot material that every Titanic nut will climb in and never get out. Notice in the sinking diagram with the break up the rear of the bow rose up ever so slightly due to the bending of the keel shoving the decks upwards.
The old lady Rose in "Titanic" was accurate when she commented about the forensic video recreation "The experience of it was some what different". I worked in NYC on Sept 11, stood one block away and witnessed the WTC south tower come down. All I could think was this has to be like sitting in a lifeboat watching Titanic. Like Rose, for me the sight and loud sound of the tower coming down, seeing jumpers, the dust cloud, can't be appreciated from a video, the experience of it was definitely something others will never know.
@@captnemo8069 wow you saw it fall. Just knowing thousands of innocent people died during that is insane to me. Could you imagine. I remember listening to 911 calls of people stuck on the top floors them saying they can feel the buildings swaying and then they fall. The people having to choose to burn or jump. Horrible, tragic day that certainly was. It’s unfortunate we experience these tragedies as often as we do.
This is absolutely awesome. Thank you for giving us such a realistic look to this scene! I can't imagine the horrific situation on board. The screams from from the poor people inside or on top of the Titanic and then suddenly... deadly silence when everything was gone. R.I.P. all of them. 🕊️
Omg! Thank you for this! Been waiting since live stream! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ It looks incredibly impressive. Just beautiful. Sad, of course, because it’s Titanic. But spiritual at the same time. Thank you all!
I did not know the rearmost stack fell back on the stern when she began her final plunge. This whole video is heartbreaking thinking of all the humanity lost as she went down. I cannot imagine what Captain Rostron and the crew of The Carpathia must of thought when they came upon the area. The thought in their heads must have been they'd see a foundering ship, but not ship? The true hero of this whole thing has to be Rostron.
@Dianne B. Dee: You are right. Captain Rostron was a religious man. He truly believed in God. He even said that God protected Carpathia in at least 4 occasions on their way to Titanic, as they almost hit themselfes icebergs. He was right.
@@legioner9 "god" had nothing to do with any of it. It was a maritime accident that cost over 1500 people their lives some of whom were cruelly locked below to drown just because they didn't have money..
@@mediamain6 no one was locked, in Cameron's movie it's depicted as door closed locking people down for plot convenience and dramatisation, no one was locked and all doors were open. Even then the doors only locked crew spaces and there was still 2 easy escapes, either travelling down Scotland road towards the grand staircase or just ascending from the 3rd class dining room into the stern deck. The reason more 3rd class people died is because on its 5 days at sea they didn't explore the ship so they didn't know how to reach the boat deck
@@franciscosansalone Actually there were employees of white star who worked on titanic, survivors of the accident who gave testimony saying so. It also stands to reason that was done to keep the numbers of people on the upper decks manageable rightly or wrongly. I'd argue wrongly. And which class would they get away with doing that to? Certainly not the first class.. There are even submersible videos showing locked stairways.
The BAND Were Great people As they played till the very end JUST to calm people down You can see that the people working on the band did a great job with nearer my god to thee....i actually shed a tear GREAT JOB
Apart from the chills this gave me I noticed just how many details cameron put in the film. Like Andrews telling the stewardess to put the lifejacket on.
WOW 😳 ! Love! Went back and watch the one from last year to compare! Y'all have come a long way on the breakup! Instead of TITANIC just holding on for a couple of minutes, it just - "Foom!" - in half, and kinda went "James Cameron" style, (instead of sinking sideways)! Totally different and totally Love it!
Thank you for this! Kind of put things in to perspective. As a native Haligonian I've been to the museum several times as I am fascinated by this and a lot of your Mariner content so great job!! Also there is a graveyard in Haliax with many of the lost passengers and there is one stone in particular that says either J. Dawson or Jack D. (Can't remember which) but people leave things like old keys, coats, flowers etc. It's pretty cool!
Wow, this is stunning, and very frightening. I've seen a lot of simulations of this incredible voyage, but this one really scared me. Great job of capturing many different angles and some shots that put the audience on the deck, very effective.
Excellent animation gentlemen! I'm currently reading "On a Sea of Glass" during down time at work. The book and animation complement each other quite well. My only gripe I have is the sound of the ocean. It makes me think of a river bank which for myself gets annoying by the end...but that's just me. However, I do understand the need for some background noise so everything isn't just silent. Again, brilliant job lads.
You guys spent time and detail into this, good job! Especially with the horrific sounds of the ship moaning and passengers screaming send shivers down my spine.
2:05 Sorry, I can’t resist a little joke. It looks like someone is dancing on the top of the iceberg. Other than that, it looks wonderful. I know it’s not Titanic: Honor and Glory, but it should be.
When the crew sight the iceberg, * Me hoping the ship won't hit it, That the ship will avoid it, sail past, and the passengers won't even know that some iceberg was nearby...
Every time I watch anything related to the Titanic and I see that iceberg, I keep hoping against hope that they will miss the iceberg even though I know it’s never going to happen..
@@TheSuperSaiyan4Gamer What if the Titanic had never hit the iceberg, then 1,500 people wouldn't have froze to death... Jeez I really wish a time machine could be made, so that I can go back in time to Titanic's era and warn them "Designed to be unsinkable? Bullsh*t. If it's man made, it WILL sink in the worst case scenarios." * Proceed to explain to them I am from the future, and make them watch an HD video of the wreckage on an iPad Pro ( or whatever Apple calls the new iPads of 2021 ).... They would take it serioiusly. * Also force the White Star Line to have enough lifeboats on the Titanic before it departs Southampton... History, so many tragic and disastrous events, and some of them, like World War 2, could've been prevented. Sigh.
@@danieldoo1821 and even with enough lifeboats, there won't be a big difference since they don't have enough time to prep and load more people onto it.
i absolutely love this, Tom! :) It’s so nice to have an accurate real-time sinking animation that i can actually agree with. *(also, those exterior shots of the ship at night are giving me T:AOOT vibes)*
We worked very hard to get this right. We have some refinements to make, but this is the most accurate blend of eyewitness accounts and forensic data that is available, and what you see is the result of decades of research on the subject.
This is great thank you for making it, watching it with my 10 year old cousin who is interested in the Titanic. Only thing is we are having a problem with the captions not being on long enough for us to read out loud so we are missing some information, we don't want to pause and unpause because it slightly takes away from the real time aspect. This is otherwise a cool learning tool for her to get a sense of titanics final hours

I really want you to make a documentary about the survivors on the Titanic, the Titanic sank, you made a very accurate the sinking of the Titanic, and I have a dream that you made the film, or at least a mini-series on HBO, "Titanic" well done! sorry for the curve English, so I'm Russian and I love the Titanic, like you.
I would love to see a Titanic miniseries in the style of the Chernobyl miniseries ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s9APLXM9Ei8.html that would be amazing
@@IsaacNg28 There were a lot of cranberries and untruths in this Chernobyl TV series, but they made a really good, even the best TV series about Chernobyl, even though we were supposed to shoot this TV series, but, alas, we didn't even intend to do it. The special effects, these mesmerizing scenes, the unreal soundtrack, I'm sure if they take it and together with their team make the HBO series "Titanic", it will really be the best series based on real events, and true stories of eyewitnesses and survivors.
It really started to speed up significantly once the bridge went under at 2:15 AM, the most famous stuff on the sinking like the breakup and the funnels collapsing all happened in only about 5 minutes.
@@GamePlayerZ1912 Wow for a ship made more than a 100 years ago it held up pretty well! Before I thought that the first funnel collapsed like 30 minutes before the second one
Omg did you actually put in BOTH splits?! She split in 3 not 2 & it looks like you put both in! Bow & stern are the mains, but the tiny middle section was not found until after the movie was made.
Actually, she breaks into four sections. The initial break divided the ship in two, then the forward tower was formed and dislodged, and the aft tower formed after that, but didn’t completely come away. You can see it’s still attached to the stern, but it looks like it’s hanging on by a thread.
This is by far the most accurate animation. I always wondered in Camerons Break up scene that the sudden break isnt really logical for metal. I learned how metal and steel behaves until it breaks. If you pull wood, you get this sudden break, but metal is like rubber for a time. You can pull it, and release it and it goes back to his original form. If you pull it over a point, it stays, but still no break. If you pull it further, than it breaks. But the 2nd thing: What caused the stern to move up almost straight? In many underwater animation, you can see that there is still a connection between stern and bow, because of the double bottom. But i am not really sure that the bottom can drag the weight of the stern back up.
I guess obviously he changed a few things for entertainment purposes and dramatic effect and I thank him for doing that. Otherwise a few think would seem a little boring for most viewers 🤔 still he did an incredible job 👏
@@xenomorphlover Of course, he did an awesome job in this film, when you see the film for the first time today, you will never think this was made 1997. But this is the difference between a documentation and a movie. Many people get sick of the love story going on. But then, watch a docu and you will be fine.
The most realistic Version of the Breakup i have seen yet, your Video is getting it right where other videos fail and are just unrealistic. You show the breakup as a slow Process of Death and this is what happend back then according to the Documentation Titanic Answers from Abyss from 1999. This video is perfect sir, great work.
Dear lord, I just realized the time from the breakup to the stern fully submerging is 3 minutes, yet every time I watch this animation it seems like double that time, I was watching this in real time the day of the sinking and when the breakup happened I actually felt that it was taking longer than I thought, yet it was only 3 minutes, just goes to show how amazingly realistic this single animation is and how the human mind works when watching something like this.
I mean there were many icebergs in the area and they had gotten reports, but they didn’t do anything about and had full speed ahead and without the binoculars that was locked away it would be harder for them to see the berg and also there was no moon or any waves that night it was so flat and calm so they couldn’t see waves splashing into the icebergs so it would be very hard to see the icebergs anyway
@@Chorze_ they maintained speed because it was standard procedure. in fact, almost everything the crew did that night was “by-the-book” in one way or another. so if you’re looking for something to blame for that tragedy, blame the great number of outdated regulations.
@@Chorze_ not many at all when they heard about the iceberg warnings they change the direction of the ship they thought they where safe now that's why they put the engine's in full speed
I would say that was supposed to be a dramatization to emphasize how quiet the night was once the engines shut off; but being that this is supposed to be a completely accurate representation, I have to agree with you.
It’s crazy to think that from 11:40 (basically midnight) to 2:20 (basically 2 hours) that ship and the passengers went from normal life, to absolute hell on earth.
Awesome vid ! Definitely love the way the break up was done . I’m glad you showcased the other portion of the stern collapsing after its separation from the bow. Other animations just show it break apart and either the stern sinks capsized or it goes almost vertical and sinks. Eye witness saw the stern go up almost vertical and right before she plunged she stood up some time then rotated as she was goin down . I loved that part. Definitely loved the details of the ship up close and far and the noises the vessel made. But the break up part is by far the best Thank you for the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That is very true, excellent observation. However to create this particular depiction, we took decades of experience researching the disaster (and in particular, years of work on the breakup of the ship) -- comparing eyewitness evidence and forensic data available on the wreck -- and came up with something that more accurately depicts the ship's final few minutes than has ever been made available before. It is not perfect, and we have some refinements in mind for the future, but this is as close as we could get for this year. We truly hope that you enjoy the video.
@@atlanticliners Thank you for your answer! I think the difference often lies in the angle, how high the bow raised before splitting, and whether the split occured in plain sight or below the waterline (explaining why so many eyeswitnesses were contradictory and said it sank intact). The 1997 film for instance made the angle very sharp and a clean break which couldn't have been missed by eyewitnesses (it made it more dramatic and visual for cinematic purposes I suppose). One thing that always confused me was the following, the baker who was later rescued, who was on the bow during the sinking, and said he barely got his hair wet when the bow finally went under, would have provided a perfect account of the break up and final plunge. One more analysis was made recently presenting a version of the break up that is very different to any other theory established up until now. I wonder what James Cameron would this of this one haha. What do you think of this new break up theory? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E_5yCoFuuww.html
@@Nurembergwarcriminal Hello. No, the breakup shown in the 1997 James Cameron film was not accurate in many ways; even James Cameron has made public statements on the matter in the years since. Quite simply, much has been learned about the way the ship came apart since 1997, and we also have greatly furthered our understanding of what eyewitnesses reported. The depiction you see in this film is the most accurate amalgamation of our up-to-date understanding of each of those two points (wreck forensics and eyewitness statements). We do have refinements in mind, but at this point, this is as good as it gets. Thank you for your question!
Rest In Peace for all those who didn’t make it and also those who did but were faced with a tragedy when you were looking for a new world/ beginning 🌌✨😇
Another worthy video aded to the original TitanicHG video. Tom Lynskey is 2 for 2. The more realistic lighting in this one makes it even more haunting - also the still ocean and new moon starry sky, which is key to the whole experience, is done well in this video.. One observation - the background ocean sound affect sounds like small waves on a beach - I don't get it.
Can't wait to see on the 14th of April 2023 at 9:30 PM. EDT the sinking of the Titanic in real time once again. Those lost, people & animals that night should NEVER be forgotten 💖🙏R.I.P.💖🙏 I'm sharing this event info with as many as possible!!! Thank you and buds for all your caring & hard work.
