How An Extraordinary Weather Mirage Sank The Titanic

[@Foxweather]

To hear more about the incredible weather conditions that fateful evening from Titanic author and historian Tim Maltin, check out his interview with FOX Weather's Angeli Gabriel: www.foxweather.com/lifestyle/titanic-weather-thermal-inversion-mirage-optical-illusion 🚢

Wow! I was listening to his description of how light bends with the different temperature bands and thinking I've heard this effect before. I used to be a radar technician in the Canadian air force and had been taught about anomalous propagation which is the bending of radar energy so that it more closely follows the curvature of the earth thereby returning echos that are outside the usual range of the radar. It creates returns that make no sense as they are not synced to anything.

nice explaination

This guy is good

[@PaulJonesMusic]

From the perspective of the California and misjudging the size of ship they were seeing and the morse lamp issues, it still doesn't explain why they didn't act upon the rockets being fired.

Ocean is full black at night visibility is 0 so can't see anything they hit the iceberg without seeing it .

This guy would make a good politician

Music is way to loud. Ideally completely remove it or turned it way down it's hard to hear what he says let alone focus on understanding

[@strechinpick]

Weather has little to do with Californian coming to save the Titanic’s passenger. Captain Lord should have checked the radio and should have investigated. He knew the titanic was near, he knew there was ice. His crew said the titanic looked “queer” and they observed rockets!

Thumbnail is not Titanic.

[@lalaLAX219]

It’s a painting from 1913 showing how one artist imagined the Titanic disaster may have looked. He didn’t have easy access to all the photos and blueprints like we do today, so he used some artistic license on the technical aspects of the ship. It’s still supposed to be the Titanic, though. P.S. KZbin won’t let me share the link here, but you can look up the painting on the website of the National Maritime Museum (Greenwich, London) for more info. It’s called ‘The steamship Titanic’ by Harry J. Jansen, 1913.

Cant even watch with the music... wtf

[@michaelbujaki2462]

5:45 That has got to be the most inaccurate professional depiction of Titanic that I have ever seen.

[@xwinwinwinx]

The drawing on screen at that time stamp? Please can you inform a less knowledgable person why it is inaccurate?

[@gokulgopan4397]

​@@xwinwinwinxif we get too much into accuracy, the topmost deck doesn't have that much cowl vents. The next deck below (A Deck) was partially closed at the forward portion, the next deck (B Deck) had thin windows with irregular spacing. Several other small details too. It's easier to understand when you compare actual photograph of Titanic.
