No One Talks About the Shipwreck More Tragic Than the Titanic

[@Gryphonisle]

The Titanic took over 90 minutes to sink, mostly upright, lights on and orchestra playing. The Lusitania, by contrast went down in 15. The Empress of Ireland, and most other wrecks were also quick and rolled over or otherwise got the job done without glamor. I would argue the Titanic became famous, because it’s sinking was so tragically civilized, and so elegant in its horrific finality.

[@caelyclifford6133]

My great grandmother saw the lusitania sink. She and her brothers got more people from the town and jumped in their boats and started dragging survivors out of the water and later went back to get more bodies so families could have closure.

[@natesaxon2817]

To me, there's a lot of reasons (beyond the movie) as to why the Titanic is a more talked about shipwreck. Firstly you have that it was a hugely technological ship for its time and was made very famous back then for being called unsinkable and for luxurious it was, with a lot of wealthy people of 1912 having tickets for the ship. Then you have how it went down, the fact that the moon wasn't out so the iceberg wasn't visible, the image of the propellers being lifted from the ocean and the ship breaking in half. It's iconic stuff. Then you have what ultimately was poor handling in the event of it sinking. Not enough lifeboats for everyone, and of the lifeboats on board, none were filled to capacity.

The Titanic was never called unsinkable before it sank. It was the tabloid story of its time, and people just made up whatever they wanted to about it. It's like them calling it the triumph of the sea and everyone loved it and it was in every headline. In reality, it wasn't even carrying full passenger capacity and was a non-story. That's why there's no actual footage of Titanic leaving anywhere. They always use Olympic footage because it was the first ship to come out and the actual headline. By the time Titanic sailed later on, no one cared. If it hadn't sank, you'd have never heard of it.

Yes he skipped the details on this one. The accident was caused due to a faulty rudder on the Vector which caused the ship to steer a zig zag course; as it was dark the crew of the Dona Paz couldn’t tell which direction it was going until too late as they could see alternating port & starboard lights approaching

[@HR-wd6cw]

I think the reason nobody reaely talks about some of these is some of them were totally avoidable (the Titanic was to a point, but ones like the Sultana was avoidable if the owner of the ship had spent the extra money to fix the boiler correctly, and we know basically the events that took place as a result of his actions). The Titanic is still a bit of a mystery to some (at least, the very details and other theories as to how it could have been avoided, which I think is what makes it the most talked about shipwreck, plus everyone knows about it obviously due to its popularity).

[@wrongturnVfor]

Nope, it is just what the media chooses to pick up on and run with. Titanic was also totally avoidable. The radio room was busy sending and receiving passenger messages and after informing captain once about iceberg warnings didnt bother again, The captain ddint explicitly tell the radio room to keep him updated and mentally thought he would divert south if another warning came. There too greed doomed the ship. Not to mention in the greed of winning the blue riband titanic skipped the lifeboat drills that were supposed to be held first in the lake where they tested the dinghys, then before departure and then at sea. All were missed because hey she was unsinkbale right? They were running behind with the launch and then wanted to go as fast as possible on sea so they never did them. which is why it took the crew so long to lower them when they were needed and they were half filled because they literally didnt know how much weight they would be able to carry. It was literally a disaster caused by human vanity and greed

I’d also include the MV Sewol where they over loaded the ship. When they realized it was going to sink instead of telling people to abandon ship, they instead told the passengers everything was fine and to go back to their cabins which they did. It’s so sad to see videos and text messages they sent their families right before they died. Also the fact the captain and crew saved their own lives while needlessly killing all the passengers.

Bright side wouldn't be bright side without inaccuracies lol

[@xhalfe7212]

One of my great grandpa's was on the Sultana Steamboat

[@seano906]

i knew Dona Paz will be in the list. btw, it sank during the night not day.

[@johnl.wblairjr5387]

The empress of Ireland's captain was Henry George Kendall and it only took the empress of Ireland 14 minutes to sink

[@ThingsWeAllDid]

To think that some poeple conplain over a spilt drink or something.. these people suffered much worse

[@bradychase7416]

Okay but like a spilled drink is kinda sad

[@bradychase7416]

Just kidding

[@HansRaphael-gt1dr]

Dona Paz is also called Asia's Titanic

[@Boeing.797]

It was December 20th 1987 not September 20.

[@timbunker4061]

This narrator is trying way too hard to emote. 😂

[@cameron-di5sq]

If I recall correctly the Arctic Disaster is more tragic then made in this video due to what happened on board rather than it sinking.

[@gabzeswone8049]

I agree, several important events were not featured. Like the crew members sent out to rescue passengers from the Vesta, as they neared the Vesta, the Arctic took its daring dash to shore, leaving them behind. The men that broke into the liquor cabinet and killed several. And other horrible events.

this captain has one too many unfinished side quests

[@Militarycollector07]

what about estonia

[@gyatto_yt]

Probably the most famous shipwreck of all time, the Titanic, wasn't, in fact, the scariest or the worst in history. On April 27, 1865, the Sultana Steamboat carried more than 2,000 people instead of the regular 350. So, there was a broken boiler, an excess number of passengers, a lack of lifeboats, and not the best river conditions. At 2 am, the broken boiler, unable to withstand the load, suddenly exploded. It didn't leave many survivors, but it was not the only disaster at sea.

[@A-Microwave]

literally the first ship mentioned in the video was the sultana

[@pembaonlinemedia]

I know the worst boat disaster. I was in the local boat with other two pasangers traveling about 2 km distance. From nowhere the water started to come inside the boat. In a matter of seconds we were floating with life jackets. Another passenger boat came and took us. I lost my phone and my trust on local boats.

Thanks

6:28 Some corrections: The sinking of the MV Doña Paz was dated on December 20th instead of September, and it happened at night time. The Doña Paz sank for 2 hours, whilst the Vector went under for another 2 hours.

[@johnpurdy3336]

Ya they don't seem to do much research in these videos unfortunately.

[@BNuts]

And the collision didn't happen 'for some reason,' it happened because the ships were uncertified, the crews unqualified and partying on the bridges while they left the navigation to a single inexperienced intern. There's also the _Sewal_ , which capsized because she was overloaded with passengers, and cargo that was not secured in any way, and she was turned too sharply. Making it worse, very little effort was made to rescue the passengers, who were instructed by a recording on loop to stay in their cabins.

[@robertyoung3992]

[@Doncroft1]

Lancastria, Principe Umberto, Wilhelm Gustloff, Dona Paz... There have been many ship disasters far worse than Titanic. So many. Most people don't know.

[@davinp]

The Sasitina was severely overloaded

[@robertyoung3992]

Sultana

[@SwiftieGurl_2213]

That’s so sad but I think the titanic is so famous cause it wasn’t unsinkable and everyone thought it was unsinkable but that last one really shocked me about how no one cared and about how selfish it was from crew members

[@blakethompson-pouncey3807]

The Sultana was repatriating Union POWs. Not just prisoners. You're doing these lost souls a disservice. Get your facts right, Bright Side.

[@linus98765]

Still prisoners. Don't get so dramatic.

[@robertyoung3992]

Also missing was the SS Andrea Doria sunk off the coast of Nantucket, MA on 25 July 1956 after colliding with the MV Stockholm in heavy fog, out of the 1,706 passengers and crew 1,661 were rescued she sank 11 hours later at 10:20 am the collision was 11:20 on the 26th of July. 51 died 46 on the Doria and 5 on the Stockholm

[@brucestuckey7316]

The Dona Paz caught fire and sank on December 20 1987

[@magnusesophagus8195]

Very nice research and compilation admin! Kudos!

[@ozgamerab8780]

At the time of the Sultana, it was impossible to record a video, because the first video was recorded in 1875.

[@windlesstitan6825]

The worst ever is actually the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff in WW2, taking more than 9000 lives.

[@valentinelapukeni3978]

Nah but how did those Ferry Le Joola survivors even make it after 4 days🙌 superpowers definitely exist!
