Titanic Was Meant to Sink, Here's the Proof 

The Titanic actually sunk slower than it was projected to sink if badly damaged. So it actually performed better than anticipated.

This title is extremely misleading.

Bright side: The titanic was supposed to stay afloat, even with *4* of these compartments flooded, but the iceberg hit *5* of them. Also bright side: The iceberg grazed the ship, and the iceberg slashed a hole into *6* of these compartments, witch, you might've guessed, is *2* more than what it was designed for.

I'm not so sure Titanic was "meant to sink." What ship can survive more than 1/3 of its length opened to the sea? The ship was not meant to be run up against an iceberg that's hard as granite and extensively damage its hull below the waterline.

At least the titanic doesn’t look like a floating bath tub with decks.

Title: the titanic was meant to sink, here’s the proof Video: just facts about titanic Me: I’m stumped

Using the iceberg as a floating survival thing was never a consideration and would never have worked. By the the time the Titanic actually stopped the iceberg was probably half a mile or more astern in the dark. To turn around and look for it in the dark and then to somehow berth alongside an unstable jagged ice .... and then assuming that there was a flat area on it for over 1000 people to stand on. Nah never a thing worth mentioning.

2:54 "I made that part up." Dude you fricking made the whole script of the video up!

He will never end on why the titanic sunk I love it

100 years ago or today: All it takes is one simple mistake. Just one.

Why do people not realize that Titanic was THE safest ship in the world with the best technologies at that time, it was a chain of unlucky events that let her to sink, even ships today are less safe in some regards, no ship is designed to survive a side swipe because it's so rare.

well, technically by law the titanic had enough lifeboats, the sinking of the ship was one of the reasons the law was changed, it wasnt to save jp morgan money and it wasnt because it was deemed unsinkable but the actual laws at the time which supported the amount of life boats.

I live in Belfast (where Titanic was built) and we still have the slipway where it was built. We even have marks to show how long it was. And near the slipway is a giant Museum called the "Titanic Quarter museum." They're a great attraction to tourists.

4:38 Only 3 funnels were actual funnels connected to the boilers, the other was for ventilation

Imagine being a passenger on the titanic refusing to use your chance to get on a lifeboat only to realize later you gave up your only chance for survival because you didn’t believe the boat was sinking 😩

Ocean liners during the early 20th century served the purpose that airlines serve now. Cruise ships existed in the Titanics day but everything about a liner like the Titanic was designed around point to point transportation.

2019 : stay away from negative people 2020 : stay away from positive people

Pirates: just be glad they weren’t made of wood

And the largest ship in the whole world is sea wise giant an oil tanker

What do you mean "evactuating to the iceberg"??? That was never an option, they never went to the iceberg.

This is like comparing a skateboard and a tesla.

Ships don't carry radio operators anymore and when they did only large passenger ships kept a 24 hour manual watch.

Captain Smith carried on at full speed despite ice warnings because that was standard practice on all ships on all shipping lines, and they would only reduce speed when they physically sighted ice. The Titanic actually carried more lifeboats than it was legally required to. In those days, the number of boats a ship had to have was calculated by tonnage, not passenger numbers, and the reason a lot of boats went away not full was the strict “women and children only” edict of the day that was rigidity enforced by First Officer Lightoller in particular. The ship was never claimed to be unsinkable by either the builders or the owners. The press in those days were as sensationalist as they are today, and it was they that dubbed it unsinkable.

So, I guess I missed something, like why it was "Meant to sink"

The main hull structure of large ships -- including cruise ships -- is typically constructed of STEEL, not aluminum. Although superstructures are often made of aluminum or other non-ferrous materials to reduce weight and keep centers of gravity low, the basic hulls, keels, and framing are usually steel. The larger the ship the more likely this will be the case. Heavy steel is MUCH easier to work with than heavy aluminum - and WAY cheaper, too. Welding aluminum requires extensive preheating of the work area to fairly exact tolerances, and the heavier the aluminum the more complicated and drawn out the pre- and post-heating regimens will be. Heavy steel can often be welded with relatively simple arc/stick welding techniques that are much more forgiving of environmental fluctuations. As for the Titanic, it was constructed at a time when riveted iron construction was the predominant method of building ships. Larger ships were already reaching their practical size limit, however, and a shift from iron to steel as a building material was just coming into play. Likewise, riveted steel construction was reaching its limits, and welded steel was the nascent metal shipbuilding method on the near horizon. These factors also played a serious part in the Titanic disaster.

8:34 That picture is OLYMPIC!

By the time the severity of the situation was fully realized by Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith, the iceberg was miles away, so there was no way they could use the iceberg as a life raft. That was a plot device from the novella "Futility" (alternate title "The Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson published in 1898. Robertson has his ship the Titan, which is the largest ship of the day, run aground on an iceberg in the (surprise, surprise) North Atlantic and ripping its keel out, with some of the survivors evacuating to the berg before the ship slips off and sinks. Also it was the owners of Titanic, The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company or White Star Line, who in a cost saving move set the number of life boats to 14 main boats, two secondary boats and 4 collapsible boats with a total capacity of about 1500 for a ship that could carry 3200, incidentally in full compliance with British Board of Trade lifeboat requirements. Also in compliance with BOT requirements, there had yet to be a full lifeboat drill for even the crew let alone a briefing for the passengers about lifeboat stations or procedures.

wow.. that last part where they talk about going to visit it yourself aged REAL GUD....

Why is it as a titanic enthusiast for the past three years the majority of titanic videos from Bright Side are almost entirely incorrect. Titanic was also never doomed from the start, that’s just theory’s and are proven false.

This video contradicts itself,it says 5 compartments then later says 6.

7:44 Astute viewers also noticed that you previously said that 5 compartments were flooded ---> 3:27 :)

Some things to consider: * Using the iceberg that hit the ship as a temporary haven for the passengers is both an exercise in futility and poor decision-making. Engines were run during the damage inspection and by the time it was completed, more than 15 minutes after the collision, it was determined that the better decision was to make a complete stop and relieve the boilers' pressure as the incoming sea water would've made them explode, so going after the iceberg (any iceberg in fact) would've resulted in the ship sinking much sooner than the nearly 3 hours it stayed afloat. * That photograph is not from Britannic's explosion but the Olympic crash, it is of course not comparable to the ones that sunk its sister ships and no one was injured, the ship it collided with got sunk in WWI and Violet wasn't onboard the HMS Hawke, so in reality she survived 2 shipwrecks. * There are better uses for your money in my opinion for the Titanic "experience": The Harland & Wolff offices with its massive drawing room in Belfast are now a hotel and the restaurant of the White Swan hotel in Northumberland boasts the paneling, stained glass and ceiling from its sister ship the Olympic. You can also, as Molly Brown did, organize and use your money to realize Robert Ballard's idea of cleaning and painting the hull to make it last longer (and I mean a lot longer than the predicted century that will last) so not only you but future generations will be able to see it. By the way, if you want to know how much that same expedition to the Titanic cost before the study that calculated its rapidly deteriorating condition was published, it was $70,000.

Bright side: Uploads many videos on how and why titanic sank... Le Me:Sees titanic movie and understands everything😂

Bright side:”could you tell. me:”no 😅”.

My Mother and sister were on the last military ship that carried Military families overseas. They went from Norfolk VA to Turkey. After that they flew the families, that would have been 1961 if you are interested.

You might not have been able to have as much fun on an early 20th century ocean liner (especially if you couldn't afford first class ameneties), but if you overlook the chance of drowning if your ship hit an iceberg and the fact that it took a week to cross the Atlantic, I'd bet most people would find travelling on a ship a LOT more comfortable and pleasant than traveling on a plane.

There's more theories about how titanic sank than to how the world started.

this dude said 5 compartments flooded. few minutes later he says 6

I'm Never going into any Submarine to visit the Titanic wreck after the Titan Implosion!!!

The ships of the 1900s were more beautiful than the ships of today in my opinion. Titanic was so beautiful and Olympic too ❤️🖤🤍💛🧡

There was nothing wrong with the steel--it was tested in the 1990s the steel was found to actually be fine.. It was rivets that were sheared off. This was because the areas up where the bows become narrower and the turn of the bilge could not be machine-riveted. This meant hand riveting with iron rivets rather than steel. These could become very brittle and when she sideswiped the ice berg , those rivet heads sheared off, allowing the steel plates to separate. The rest of the critique seems pretty solid. Another thing not helping was that she took on a list, making loading and or lowering harder. On the side the ship was listing towards, the boats swung out farther than if the ship was fully upright making it difficult for them to be loaded. On the other side, lowering was made difficult because the lifeboats scraped against the rivets in the hull. Oh, and Captain Smith DID tell the lookouts to keep a sharp lookout for small ice, bergs, and "growlers" (a type of low-lying iceberg). It didn't help that the sky was moonless and the water was still.

If i remember correctly i remember the people that built the titanic stated that they used 5 start metal to build the ship so it would be unsinkable but they never stated that they ran out of funds so they had to use cheap and easily broken bolts to tighten the metals.

No, it was not a clerical error that the lookouts didn't have binoculars. Those would have made it harder to spot a 'berg, because you'd have to be looking straight at something to see it. Ordinarily, captains did not want lookouts trying to identify things with binoculars, their job was only to notify the bridge that they could see something. Scientists now believe they didn't see the 'berg because of light-refraction.

Some tidbits of information. But bizarrely, the video launches without warning or context into an in-depth examination of the difficulties of evacuating the passengers onto an iceberg using a gangplank and lifeboats, despite this never ever been mentioned before as a possibility, let alone standard procedure. And some of the real difficulties that prevented many of the lifeboats being used (once the ship listed too far the derricks could not lower them properly into the water) were ignored.

"Everyone knows that the Titanic was the largest ship of..." Me: I never knew 😕

Hang on, one minute you say the iceberg breached 5 segments and a few minutes later you state it breached 6 segments...

It was not “meant to sink” bro. She was built the same as every other ship, with the same materials as all other ships of her era. There had never been a disaster as bad as Titanic and there had never been an incident where a ship had more than 1/3 of her total length opened up to the sea. The fact that she stayed afloat for nearly three hours after hitting an iceberg that was 5 times heavier than she was and that damaged 1/3 of her total length is a testament to her strength and shows how much her crew tried to keep her floating for as long as possible. Titanic changed EVERYTHING in shipping. Before she went down, she didn’t do anything that was out of the ordinary and she wasn’t meant to sink.

Aluminium is not used on the modern ship hull building . It's steel only . Use of Aluminium is for internal not structural parts to reduce weight .

The one thing that the Symphony of the Seas can't steal from Titanic is its legacy and its amazing captain.

ok things wrong with this here video 1 6:00 the crew on titanic Never planed to put passengers on the iceberg 2 8:33 that is the Olympic 3 9:53 that is the Olympic once again 4 9:58 that is a picture of Olympics damage from the HMS Hawke 5 11:59 titanics first class tickets where only 150 dollars (about 1700 today 6 13:16 Captain Smith was doing the correct thing as back in 1912 you didn't stop until danger was spotted 7 13:25 Titanic was holding the correct amount of lifeboats the law in 1912 said it could have 8 14:23 why is it doing a downwards v break 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 9 14:25 back in 1912 getting the correct location was hard but they where still quiet arcuate 10 16:27 the wireless operator on the Californian was not fired

My dad worked for the symphony of the seas for 10 years as the ships Baritone Saxophone player

I can't believe that the Titanic was that large 😊😢😮

Titanic seems always the most legend ship ever.

The only reason the titanic was made out of steel because the iceberg wanted to steel the titanics life

The titanic was never meant to sink, even if it never sank it would be turned into a troop carrier or hospital ship like britannic and Olympic

They’ve built bigger and safer ships since titanic but personally the titanic was far more luxurious. Not a fan of how the ships look today.

There's also the Titanic museums in Branson, Mo or Pigeon Forge, Tn. They are modeled out of the ship and have an exact replica of the grand staircase as well as a replica of the deck. When you pay to get into the museums, you get a boarding pass with a name of a passenger that was on the ship.

did you know that the fourth smoke stack on the titanic actually didn't release any smoke. it was used as ventilations and also aesthetics cuz the designer didn't want three. the more you know.

i dont think an ice berg hit titanic i think titanic hit a ice berg

With the four collapsible lifeboats, RMS Titanic exceeded the Board of Trade requirement regarding lifeboat capacity which stipulated a vessel of 10,000 tons or more to carry 16 lifeboats with a total capacity of 9,625 cubic feet (272.5 m3), sufficient for 960 people. The original distress call was CQD which Titanic utilized and then switched over to the recently implemented and more recognizable SOS, becoming the first to send an SOS distress call. Operating a radio was a bit of a specialized field conveying administrative and personal traffic to and from shore. A vessel with a light traffic load would typically carry only a single operator working the better part of sixteen hour days. The radio on Titanic had broken down on April 14. Phillips and McBride spent their waking and sleeping hours repairing it on their own initiative. A considerable number of messages had accumulated which Phillips was trying to clear when advised by Californian's operator of ice with a very loud signal. The radio operator has been replaced by a facsimile machine through shore facilities or satellite. Functional radar for a ship was still thirty years away, orbiting satellites still forty five years away. Visual lookouts was the only warning system then, and to a lesser degree still used today.

"Titanic was meant to sink" Thumbnail: Modern cruise ships are made of *aluminium*

Hilarious! Made my day. Always nice to know that there are people out there who are denser than I am.

Can't believe they advertised for tickets to see the titanic. That didn't age well

Thank you for sharing this video 🤗💓

"The titanic was meant to sink" *Shows the titanic made out of steel and modern ships made out of aluminum* Gee, it's almost. Almost like.... The ships at the time titanic was made..... WERE ALL MADE OUT OF STEEL BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST COMMON BUILDING MATERIAL FOR SHIPS AT THE TIME. Funny how that works.

What is the difference between the Titanic and rockets? Rockets goes up, and the titanic goes down.

Whoa bright side I did not know this thx for the advice

It is interesting that there is an advertisement for Ocean Gate Titanic tours on the video.

I​ think​ i​ like​ to​ learn​ bright​ side​ MORE​ than​ school

If I ever win the lottery I'm spending $505,000 to visit the sunken ship

In two years it cost $250k per ticket to go actually be a major part of the titanic crash site vs just seeing it.

And today 2 years after the video is made, people should be amazed at the audacity of selling the dream of seeing the titanic last time. More than 100 years ago Titanic ship sank, few days ago Titan submersible also sank and with that sank any desire of seeing the titanic last time no matter how rich is the person. Some incidents are not supposed to be seen and associated with in any form. They only bring misery.

So when he showed the titanic belching smoke, he showed all smokestack being used, however, the fourth smokestack was just for venalation.

Even if they had more life boats they didn’t get all the boats off Titanic as it was. And that was in perfectly calm seas.

Offloading on the iceberg is a really bad idea. I saw a video of a boat dropping off 2 people on an iceberg and within seconds the iceberg rolled ontop of them. It made me realize that icebergs keep themselves perfectly balanced as it melts on all sides. Throwing bodies on a floating island is enough to make it flip. An iceberg is definitly not a boat

Jack & Rose 💔🥺

The total square inches of the hole(s) that sank the ship were less than your front door.

bruh that thumbnail Steel is stronger than aluminium Also why are we still on this topic it sank in like the 1900s

This is sooooo cool I love your vids

There is a titanic museum in Gatlinburg TN, ive been there a couple times, they have a place in It that has water in it that is the same temperature that the water was that night

I BELIEVE THAT TITANIC WOULD BE A NEVER ENDING MYSTERY TO ALL

After watching this...the ship never had chance. Too many things were set up for it to fail. Wow

A trip to the Titanic site will cost you your life 00:11:34

Great video!

The forth stack was for ventilation not exhaust.

No one: Bright Side:Changing the thumbnail

Too many errors in this video. The iceberg compromised 6 compartments not 5. The water tight doors made it sink slower not faster because the ship would have capsized instead. It wouldn't have lasted 45 minutes without those watertight compartments.

This video is very useful for me than school lesson.

Wow so knowledgeable Hats off to you

Fun fact: People discovered titanic that it break. They discovered it in 1985 september 1

99.99 of passenger ships are cruise ships not ocean liners. You cannot compare the two.

I so love the image of *Titanic* 🚢 over 100 years later gets more-evidence in fact and details. Plus better emojis, Science you name it. Even if my like only gets one I hope it lasts forever🙃

The RMS Olympic didn’t sink, It got rammed by the HMS Hawk. That means that Violet Jessop only was on 2 ship sinkings.

You do know aluminum welds are weaker than the parent metal ?

Known as the unsinkable Molly Brown she was in a number no previous shipwreck and Survived them all

Welded hulls vs riveted hulls is much more significant than the quality of steel the plates were made of. The plates didn’t fail, the rivets did.

I came to know the word "imperator" by Emperor Tamarins (Saguinus Imperator), who also, by coincidence just so happen to get their name from Wilhelm II

you know olympic was made out of the same steel and didn't sink even after 3 collisions -_-

May they all rest in peace

Violet Jessie actually survived only 2 because the rms olympic actually never sank it collided with 2 ships but it didn’t sink
