[@carljohnson621]

Mike Brady explained why the "hard a-port" order was spot on. Because the way ships behave, once it starts turning, there's no stopping it unless you imput the exact opposite order, even at straight ahead. Think of it as a car on a very slippery surface. Once it starts turning, even if a very slight imput was made, all tires lose grip and it just keeps turning. The car is actually moving forward, but because it has no grip, it is turning on its axis. The only way to stop the rotation is to turn the wheel the opposite direction, then fight it until it continues straight ahead with no rotation. This same scenario could be applied here, although on a very large scale. If no hard a-port order was made, the iceberg could've scraped the ENTIRE ship, causing it to flood and sink in MINUTES. Almost immediately the ship would develop a very sharp list, over the course of a few seconds it would be obvious that it would capsize, minutes later off it goes to the bottom of the ocean.

The most chilling part for me is at 00:25 . I simply cannot imagine the horror that must be going on in the Chief Engineer's mind as he reads the order "Full Astern", considering they were going full speed ahead up until that point. He didn't know what it was, but he knew something horrible was about to happen... At least, the deck officers knew what they were expecting and when to expect it.

A cruise ship will generally never reverse or stall the engine once en route. A full astern after days of varying forward power levels and days from destination can only mean one thing. There is something unexpected and big right ahead. It could also have been another ship. No other situation would warrant the stress on the engine, propeller blades and driveshafts turning against the motion of the ship.

it takes 2 turns on the wheel to turn the ship. Hard to Starboard , hold for 45 seconds to a minute, then Hard to Port. or vice versa. He held the 1st turn way too long, and steered the side of the ship right into the iceberg. It would of probably been impossible to time the 2 turns in such a manner , to steer away from iceberg. But had, he not waited till the ship hit the iceberg, then went hard to Port, the ship would of just glanced the side of the iceberg, and not steered the ship right side right into the iceberg. It would of been impossible to of timed the 2 moves on the wheel, unless the crew was trained for an emergency like that. I love the Titanic, it was beautiful.

The critical mistake was to put the engines into Full astern, due to the central propeller being turbine driven it was just stuck or free wheeling in the current.

[@felinediscipline]

I love how Commanding Officer in the engine room immediately started calling out orders once he saw the Flight Deck(Command Room) calling for a switch from Ahead Full(Forward Full Power) to Astern Full(Reverse Full Power), his immediate response was due to the fact that such an action needed from the Flight Deck would only be necessary if a head-on collision was approaching. The engine obviously took too long to switch as realistically it would have taken 10 to 20 minutes before the ship even started moving backwards, in this film we seen the crew perform multiple different tasks to reverse the ship. The steering wheel was put on Hard Over(Wheel reached it's turning limit) They decrease the Steam Pressure from Full to Half(Slowing down the Forward Engine) Shutting the Dampers(Closing the furnace doors so all the Steam goes to the Engine) Holding(Prepare for Engine Switch) Activated Reversing Engine(Lever is pushed that stops the Pistons, than they started moving in reverse) Increase Steam Pressure from Half to Full(Speeding up the Reverse Engine) *Now the Engine is in Full Reverse* One problem is that it takes a while before the ship starts feeling the effects of the switch as it will still drift forward for a few metres. They basically switch from Drive to Reverse but it took about 50 people for it to be done. Cars only need the driver and the switch is done under 5 seconds.

[@christoffellner84]

I am not entirely sure if i understand this correct: This is what i know (from a book from 1996): The Ship had been on trials (of course) before it was officially allowed to take passengers on board. Among other things, a stop at full speed (which, basically, consists of whats happening in this scene just with all propellers: going from Full Ahead to Full Astern out of a sudden) was performed. If the authorities in charge would have not thought that the ship met the requirements (that, so to say, were measured in length of the ship rather than time to do it), no passenger would have been ever set a foot on that ship.

[@Arsaja]

Wow! you clearly know your stuff. But could you explain what does "Engine in Full Reverse" mean? Can the ship, like a car, travel in reverse? Could Titanic really back away from the iceberg?

@@Arsaja Yes it could, like present time, boats are capable of reverse movement, the problem with the titanic is that it's too big to start moving backwards quick enough to not hit the iceberg, so the crew resorted to going around it.

They were and are heroes! ❤ "Most of the engineering crew remained below decks in the engine and boiler rooms: some fighting a losing battle to keep the ship afloat by operating the pumps in the forward compartments as well as keeping the steam up in the boiler rooms, so as to prevent boiler explosion on contact with the water; and others keeping the generators running to maintain power and lights throughout the Titanic up until two minutes before the ship sank. It is speculated that their actions delayed the sinking for over an hour and helped keep the ship afloat long enough for nearly all the lifeboats to be launched."

Humans look for a simple explanation so they can console themselves there's a quick fix. Having read the investigations into this and countless air disasters yes there are key primary actions but also many additional actions that nudge the situation along until it becomes practically inevitable. For example there has been a super moon previously which therefore has pulled the tides gar further south than normal. But for that iceberg alley wouldn't have been as brutal, large or so far south that year. If the Olympic hasn't been damaged in a collision with the Hawk delays wouldn't have ensured to the build and Titanic's maiden voyage would have been earlier and the crew would have maybe been in more tune with the new ship and or on an entirely different schedule. And so on and so on. Ironically but for the wireless operator Phillips thee wouldn't have BEEN a radio to operate.
