Surprisingly, nobody who was on the poop deck at the time (Thomas Patrick Dillon, Frank Prentice and possibly Charles Joughin) said anything about the sound that the ship made as is broke apart. The closest thing to that was Joughin's remark about hearing iron buckle while standing under the aft expansion joint at some point before heading aft.

The sparks are possible, they have to be under the very top deck to not be visible to anyone also to prove my point more is that heavy wires have a large number of volts going through them so when they break they COULD have sparks

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

I also want to point out that if a boiler explosion happened, we would have seen that in any of the boilers found in the aft end of the exposed areas on the bow section or in the debris field. All the boilers found in either location are intact so a boiler explosion is unlikely.

[@MrChickennugget360]

unless the boilers that exploded were in boiler room 3 or 4 which are not exposed. only 1s which are on the ocean floor and 2s which are in the bow section and exploded. the collapse of funnel 2 is supposedly why people think their was a boiler explosion and that was in 3 or 4s room.

[@cherirutherford7435]

That or due to the boilers exploding in the small parts that would be left from the boiler had decomposed over time

[@brickworks.]

This may be true, but I do still believe that the titanic broke underneath the 3rd funnel or just after it witch caused a small boiler explosion. My theory is also backed up by survivor testimonies.

[@THEMENPRODUCTIONS]

I think the explosions people heard were just the ship breaking up, because all boilers were put out so I don't get how they would have blown up.

[@GenericOceanLinerHistorian]

@@THEMENPRODUCTIONS True, but they would have definitely still been hot. A rush of cold water against the hot steel of the boilers could crack them. Not sure if they would explode though, because as you said, they were already put out. All of the steam was vented at that time as well, right?

The more popular is that the submerged bow sinks first to the ocean floor, leaving the stern to float for several minutes longer. The forward stern was filled with water, causing it to rise again in the air until it completely sinks.

[@randomuser9883]

I think the stern would’ve started to instantly drop forward due to the sheer weight of the triple expansion engines.

[@toranziancentralnetwork]

The giant engines would have INSTANTLY caused a weight inbalance, leaving the stern to be pulled down by the head. Not to mention the break caused many watertight seals and bulkheads to break and twist, leaving them open for water to enter.

[@georgebrankov2143]

@@toranziancentralnetwork According to the sources of this theory, the air in the still unsubmerged aft compartments caused the ship to hold for 10-15 minutes like a plug until at some point it began to flood, also the rear half was in a vertical shape and this ensured the ship's frontal balance.

I still don't understand why those who came up with their own theory made some of the lights on the Titanic light up after it split apart, survivors claim that in the final seconds all the lights went out until the Titanic plunged into the sea

[@KiwiKiwf]

Testimonies of some still recalled having lights on after the break, those were the emergency dynamos, or lights, they would stay on for 30s or even a Minute

[@MrKillswitch88]

There was still residual pressure within the system as it doesn't all escape at once unlike compressed air and the dynamos would have retained some spin for a short period of time allowing for the lights to slowly dim off rather than going off all at once. In some rare instances modern systems have acted the same as the case was with the big quake in Japan back in 2011 where parts of the grid went out of synch then gradually flickered out and one can still find videos of this happening here on YT usually from around the Sendai area.

I honestly agree with the low angle breakup, in “Part-Time Explorer” 5:10 even though it doesn’t make sense for the whole superstructure to completely fail at such a low angle. It can be the only way for nobody to think the ship split in two at the time.

[@GenericOceanLinerHistorian]

I think the reason people didn’t think it split was because it was so dark. It was a moonless night and the sea was so calm that you couldn’t see anything other than the stars, the lights of the ship, and the reflection of both in the water. Since the power went out only a few moments before the break-up, the survivors would also be subject to night blindness for a minute or two, and the ship would have broke by then. The people say that they heard a boiler explosion, but many people believe that they were only hearing the hull and superstructure fail and come apart. You do have a good point, but I also don’t think the structure would fail at that angle.

[@titantanic7255]

I believe the weight of the titanic on the back end is just far to great. The fact all that water is holding down the front and the back being lifted out of the water causes far too much weight displacement. I believe the low angle split happened just that, because it was a low angle split and just tore at the first sign of overload on the back.

most people are forgetting that the fourth funnel was actually a dummy funnel, and the last boiler room was under the third funnel. so, when the titanic broke apart boiler room #1 (which was the last one) would have been instantly swamped. thus, with no steam to power the ship it is unlikely that the power would remain on for very long after the breakup.

[@thelearningmethod]

Good point.

[@voteme462]

@jenniferphillips919 I know it had uses. I was just trying to prove a point

[@Cleptro]

This is simultaneously true and false. The fourth funnel didn't vent steam from the boilers, this is true. It was used to vent steam from the kitchens and galleys, as well as being used as a chimney for the only actual fireplace on the ship. It was stated by several passengers, however, that some lights remained on during and even after the breakup. This likely signifies that someone had started the emergency dynamos under the fourth funnel (it's other use was as an air vent for the engine room), which could run on less steam than the ship's main engines and so likely did keep certain lights burning until the very end. There was also the oil lantern on the ship's mainmast that likely didn't go out until it was submerged. So certain lights, especially dim deck lights, staying on is actually probably accurate.

[@Thepaekboy]

Alright, there’s no way the bow would explode in the zigzag theory 6:32

[@edwardrhg]

I believe the stern rose to about 30 degrees and it broke right in front of the 3rd funnel by about a foot. As the stern falls and hit the water, the funnels fall in opposite directions. The double bottom breaks, and the bow section takes a small bit of the stern superstructure off. The stern lists to port a bit, then the broken part of the stern tilts down, making the back go up. Then it goes down after settling for about 2 seconds. Edit: After a lot of research I revised my breakup theory. It is very similar to ADigimonFanatic.

[@West_Coast_Gang]

I belobe it was at 30 degrees, snapped behind the 3rd funnel, but also in front of the third funnel, resulting in three bits

3:55 “How do the funnels fall in opposite direction?” The answer for that is extremely simple, the speed of the break up somewhat pushed the 3rd funnel to collapse ahead of it, the funnel was stressed due to the break up anyway. The 4th funnel fell behind it and you already know why.

[@itzdylan7665]

I just randomly made up a theory. The keel fails in the same place as everyone says it did, the hull then fails as well, due to the stress from the unsupported weight, the ship breaks just behind the compass tower, the forward tower becomes unstable breaking off, the aft tower also breaks off, the ship then performs a top cant, causing the forward tower to seem to cave in. Due to the top cant, the forward tower is forced into the deck of back end of the bow, which crushes the compass tower, it somewhat weakens the back-end of the bow, which causes it to collapse upon impact with the sea floor. This also helps explain why we can't find any remains of the compass tower. The bow finally breaks off from the B deck, and it heads for the bottom. The Aft tower also broke off during the top cant. The fourth funnel fell as the stern settled back. The forward and aft tower float out of the water momentarily, they then sink. The stern gains a list to port as the Fourth funnel falls over to port. The ship then goes up to around a 70 degree angle, it then turns 180 degrees as it sinks beneath the waves. Some things may be somewhat stupid, but I literally just made up most of that in my head.

[@xxdeckxxdumanyan7413]

Aft tower should detach from the stern underwater.In the wreck that part is close to the stern.Which means it was last thing to detach from the stern.While Forwars tower is so far.The only way it could end up being there that it detached on surface.

[@garygemmell3488]

Your mistake is revealed by "The keel fails in the same place as everyone says it did, the hull then fails as well, due to the stress from the unsupported weight". The hull failed first at an expansion joint. All ships of any substantial length are built with expansion joints to allow for slight movement in rough seas, otherwise ships would be breaking apart at an alarming rate. They also have weak spots where large open areas are built. The keel, by design, is the sturdiest part of the ship. It is it's backbone. No ship whose keel is compromised will last for very long. The weight of the unsupported stern section as it rose out of the water caused the expansion joint to have pressure put on it in a manner it was not designed to handle. Once the failure began there was no stopping it. The keel itself failed when it could no longer support both the unsupported stern and the combined weight of the now fully flooded bow section trying to drag the still buoyant stern down with it. Estimates are that the fully flooded bow section weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 90,000 tons. More than the entire weight of the unflooded Titanic itself. Naturally, neither one of us was there to see it. That is why I prefer to use science, physics, and some knowledge of how ships of this size are constructed.

[@3_Circles]

@@garygemmell3488 I'm not sure if this is implying a James Cameron style split, but the keel, while very sturdy and designed to not violently implode, is not meant to have the strength to pull essentially a third of an ocean liner while bent at such a sharp angle. I think the expansion joints went first, but the sudden bending of the hull due to loss of structure would cause a massive spike of weight (similar to how dropping something on a scale causes it to read much heavier initially), enough to crumple the keel or dramatically send parts of it into the ship. That would leave something like B deck pulling the stern down, which to me sounds a bit more reasonable.

[@garygemmell3488]

@@3_Circles The only way to know for sure, short of actually being there at the time, would be to examine the both halves of the ship where the keel came apart. That will probably not happen in my lifetime. The exposed keel sections are buried in the silt and exposing them would be a herculean task. The keel is not made of one long section, but a series of smaller, reinforced sections riveted and\or welded together. When it snapped it probably did not do so cleanly. Steel is meant to flex and regain it's shape, but when it is stressed beyond it's breaking point it can take on some really weird shapes. Sometimes it will snap relatively cleanly, other times it will tear and leave jagged edges, and sometimes both will happen. The two things I believe happened is that the bow broke free when the hull rupture reached the keel and that the stern came back on an even keel and then went down. Exactly how it happened and how long it took is a matter of conjecture. I've never been one to come up with a theory and then try to make the facts fit the theory like so many of these "experts" try to do.

[@3_Circles]

@@garygemmell3488 These theories came out because Roy Mengot, a historian, disproved James Cameron's theory and then made a theory of his own, which is the backbone of all these theories.

[@edwinquintero8950]

[@CaptainACT_Official]

Here's my theory: Based on survivor testimony, they said they heard a loud bang come from the ship, and then the power goes out and the ship splits at the base of the third funnel. The bow heads for the bottom. As soon as the stern hit the water, it settled back for a brief moment, then lurched violently to port, and down a bit. It put extra stress on the deck plating, and it twists the foreward tower off, and the foreward tower collapses into the sea. It proceeds to annihlate the B, C, D, E, F, and G deck plating on it, and snaps the foreward cylinders of the reciprocating engines off. That's my theory, its okay if you disagree with me.

[@trentonking8054]

That's an interesting theory. It sounds like you are talking about the sinking of the Titanic, which happened on April 15, 1912, after it struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean³. There is a lot of debate and controversy about how exactly the ship broke apart and sank. Some witnesses said they heard a loud bang before or during the breakup², while others did not. Some experts think that the ship split between the third and fourth funnels⁴⁵⁶, while others think it split between the second and third funnels⁷. The discovery of the wreck in 1985 showed that the ship broke into two main pieces, but there were also many smaller fragments scattered around⁴. Here is my own theory based on some of the evidence: The Titanic was traveling too fast for the icy conditions and did not have enough time to avoid the iceberg. The collision caused a series of small holes along the starboard side of the ship, flooding six of its sixteen watertight compartments. The ship began to tilt forward and to starboard as more water poured in. The crew tried to launch as many lifeboats as possible, but there were not enough for everyone on board. As the bow section sank deeper into the water, it put enormous stress on the hull and deck plating. The ship buckled and split near the aft expansion joint, between the third and fourth funnels. The bow section detached and plunged to the bottom, dragging down some of the debris with it. The stern section briefly rose up in the air before settling back into a horizontal position. It then began to flood rapidly from both ends, causing it to tilt backwards and to port. The remaining funnels collapsed one by one as the stern section twisted and tore apart. It finally sank in a corkscrew motion, leaving behind a trail of wreckage. That's my theory, but I could be wrong. What do you think? S

I have no clue of how the breakup occured. But i think it was far less dramatic than what we have seen in movies, documentaries etc, since so few of the survivors claimed to have seen or noticed the break up.

[@traindude432]

its bc the ship’s steel could not support the excess amount of weight and at a certain point it broke up with the bow (never know it was in a relationship)

[@ThatIsALakeSir]

@@traindude432 due to the fact that there were so many metal that materially stressed,most of the connections (top to bottom break is double hull, bottom to top is aft tower) broke (the double hull would likely break 10 seconds after the initial breakup itself while the aft tower breaks connection from the bow and falls 5 seconds later from the stern) and the bow sunk to the bottom The stern was pulled when the double hull was still attached which led it sinking likely a minute later, in 30 seconds or 2 whole minutes. If the connecting parts broke off immediately the stern would float more time,

[@Dorito_Crusher101]

I am pretty sure only one survivor said it was how it was in movies, I honestly believe that it broke when fully submerged or it v split.

[@oh_non11111]

My theory: Ship is splitting just forward of the 3rd and 4th funnels, the 2 towers fall with the 3rd funnel, because of the weight of the 4th funnel, falling, the A Deck portion port of the 4th funnel gets crushed, the stern does a spiral motion while taking the final plunge.

there are chances of sparks happening during the break up its just ethier nobody saw it or there was just a tiny bit of sparks it is a chance also the cause of these sparks might be like a small bit of left over power or something like that still left in the ships hull but the sparks on elrond are to extreme and im pretty sure the lights do flicker just for a tiny second before going completely black then the break up happens and most things about the funnels or things refusing to sink is because of how most animating things work so yeah and another thing just a little thing to ask which theory is your fav? my fav personaly is titanic: Honor and glory (2020)

[@jak4sdoogo958]

On a sea of glass and top-cant are the ones that are plausables, my theory is kinda a mix, hard to explain, but its the down top break, pretty slow, not so violent has some others, bow pushs stern to 45*, lights and funnels still remain, separetion, likes fo off, funnels colapse, the on AFT or id remember which was falls, stern plunges, and its gone, if theres anything to say, say, im open to change my mind if i need

[@mattigamer12]

Here is my theory of how the titanic split: -At 2:16, the lights went out due to malfunctioning wires and the ship went into darkness. The wooden deck then proceeds to bend and stress at 24°, the ship then lists at 8° to starboard then the upper decks start to separate and the lower decks start to mangle onto each other. Due the the immense stress, the ship then lists abruptly to 18° to starboard and then splits into two. The break zone was behind the third funnel. The stern lowers to an angle of 9°. The bow lists to 30° as it is heading for the ocean floor. The bow lifts the stern and then the stern detaches at 73°. The stern lowers to 61° at it detaches but rises up once again to 88° before sinking into the Atlantic Ocean. I don't have a special CGI to do that but I can show that in flipaclip.

[@tajniak4335]

One thing often forgotten is that initially many of the survivors testified that Titanic went down in one piece. Therefore the breaking up couldn't be very spectacular - likely happened underwater or at least partially underwater, because otherwise the witnesses would see it. If it went anything close to Cameron version no one would be confused.

[@Wolfric_Rogers]

In a way, yes. I believe that water was up to the engine room skylight when the breakup occurred, putting the whole break zone below the waterline. It accounts for a number of people seeing water get over the whole base of the third funnel before they saw the stern settle back or the ship just suddenly seem to disappear as the last lights went out. Frank Goldsmith: “By now, the ship was tilted way down in front(,) and when the ice water reached the back stack, something exploded. I started crying and my mother wrapped her arms around me and pulled me to her breast.” Edward Buley: “She went down as far as the after-funnel, and then there was a little roar, as though the engines had rushed forward, and she snapped in two, and the bow part went down and the after-part came up and staid up five minutes before it went down.” - Boat 10 Joseph Scarrott: “When the third funnel had nearly disappeared, I heard four explosions, which I took to be the bursting of the boilers. The ship was right up on end then. Suddenly, she broke in two between the third and fourth funnels. The after-part of the ship came down on the water in its normal position and seemed as if it was going to remain afloat, but it only remained a minute or two and then sank.” - Boat 14 Samuel Rule: “Just before she disappeared, there was a rumbling inside the ship like an earthquake. Then the stern settled back a bit, and she went down so slowly and quietly that there was no suction or commotion in the water at all. I think the noise we heard was that of the boilers and engines breaking away from their seatings and falling down through the forward bulkheads. At the time it occurred, the ship was standing nearly upright in the water, with her stern in the air and the forward part as far as the after-funnel underwater.” - Boat 15 Robert Daniel: “After the last row of lights went out, I noticed that the great hull lurched slightly, like any water-logged craft, and shortly afterward the bow began to settle slightly more on the starboard side, where the plates had been torn from the bow and where the gaping wound in the ship’s side must have been. Then she sank gradually until the four funnels had almost been hidden by the rushing waters, and a moment later, she went down without creating the great suction I expected she would make.” - In the water

The boiler explosion theory was the most realistic to be ever seen. Although her stern were to be a little bit more mangled. And the stern wouldnt just slip forward it would go backwards.

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

Wow, since your last video, people have seemingly come out of the woodwork with theories on how the ship broke apart. Like, a lot...

[@Qdicadvsdiebte]

I wonder if the split happened underwater after it submerged, like the water pressure broke the middle section apart and imploded the stern and it settled, because we have a few survivor reports saying that the ship did not split.

[@Wolfric_Rogers]

But we have more survivors saying that it did split, and some of them specified that the break area itself was underwater, but not the whole ship. Some people said that water got as far aft as the fourth funnel before there came a rumbling sound and the stern righted itself without the bow.

[@Matthewplayz609]

Love your theory 😃

[@caseytrex3512]

2:51what I think

[@jameseb89]

I think it's interesting there are a lot of theories about how the Titanic broke into pieces. My theory is that it partially broke while on the surface and completely broke on the way down to the ocean's floor. The reason I think that are because amongst the survivors, most people said the ship did not break before it sank while some people say that it did. Those who say it did where actually much closer to the ship. So if it was a partial break, it wouldn't have been visible from a long distance because it was dark. Also, the stern imploded as it sank. We know that because nearly every survivor said they heard an ear-shattering sound, several seconds after the stern went down. If the bow sank first and the stern stayed on the surface to fill with water before it sank, then it wouldn't have imploded. So I think the ship started to break and the weight of the bow pulled the stern down with it and then once at a certain depth, the stern imploded which caused the bow to detach completely as well as 2 other chunks of the ship to come apart as well (which is why there are 2 other huge chunks in the debris field).

[@jpenir]

Actually most people asked about the break up DID say it broke up. I think 20 people were directly asked if the ship broke in 2 and 16 of them said yes. So I think you may want to amend your statement that says amongst survivors most people said the ship did not break. It's actually the opposite.

[@bradenbigham9875]

that would explain why there were some lights on after the breakup...

[@Potato_power12]

well actually there r three parts of the ship at the ocean floor because when the third funnel collapsed it pulled down a chunk of the stern

[@gemmawho1616]

I love this pls keep playing the music in other videos pls 🎵

[@ravensrevenge7245]

Message to the captionaire. the sparks are possibly from the electrical room. or water that snuck its way into the boiler. If the third funnel fell toward the break point, it would have likely been caused by the damaged/destroyed bottom funnel. Also there's gravity and water pressure in play here.

[@theversiaproject9421]

the different slpit theories are very interesting. i personally think there was something of a third part that got shredded up probably between just before the third funnel and in between the third and fourth, including the vastly underrepresented aft grand staircase.

Hey wolfric, I made my own theory how the titanic breakup happened. The video is on my channel at the shorts section. I based it on your zig-zag break theory, but the zigzag actually happens undervater after the crack that we see in the movie too. (Sorry for bad english lol)

[@idioticchildno.0171]

With my experience of reading several books and barely understanding a thing because I was 5-6 years old I can remember that the Zig Zag theory has one piece of evidence, and it’s from an illustration of an eye witness account, and after doing some digging, I found out the Eye witness account even claimed the illustrations were false. Besides, this theory is mostly based on Air Pockets in the Bow Section, and since the bow was well underwater, I don’t think air pockets would’ve kept the thing afloat during the break. Yes I made this comment to argue with somebody, the entire Titanic Community is all about arguing.

[@Wolfric_Rogers]

Are you talking about the 'Jack Thayer' V-break sketch that was actually drawn by a Carpathia passenger? In terms of the zig-zag theory, a survivor did actually draw a zig-zag when she described the breakup, her name was Robertha Watt.

Regardless of how the breakup actually occurred, just imagine being on the ship when it did break apart? In minutes, you knew you were gonna be in the freezing water, and with all the boats gone, how slim your chances were at surviving long enough for the boats to return , that is, if they even would return. From what I understand, only a handful of people were actually saved from the water, out of the over 1,200 that entered after the ship went down. I can only imagine what must've been going through Captain Smiths' mind, knowing that as Captain, the welfare of those people was his responsibility, and knowing the ship was going to sink, and that most of them would die, and there was nothing he could do about it.
