The Sinking of the Titanic - You Are There

[@moreththerogue6218]

This brought back so many warm memories. I watched this show whenever I visited my grand folk's farm back in the 60s. It never came on in my area. So us kids would grab blankets and home made fudge and camp out right in front of the old black and white tv.

[@shirtless6934]

The program is riddled with factual errors. The Titanic was not launched into space. It was not known as the S.S. Titanic. It was the R.M.S. (Royal Mail Ship) Titanic. Although the Titanic may have been attempting to reach New York on Tuesday evening rather than Wednesday morning, it was not attempting to set a speed record for transatlantic travel. The Titanic was not traveling to New York directly from Southampton. It stopped at Cherbourg and then at Queenstown before continuing on to New York. Bruce Ismay was not a member of the House of Lords. The Astor character was wrong about British superiority in shipping. The White Star Line was owned by the International Mercantile Marine Trust, which was under the control of the American, J. P. Morgan.

[@titanictx883]

It was Olympic's (Titanic's Sister) transatlantic crossing time that Titanic was trying to beat, according to the deposition given by First Class Passenger Elizabeth Lines. She claimed to have overheard the discussion between Bruce Ismay and Captain Smith in the D-Deck Reception Room on April 13. It wasn't uncommon as the sister ships Lusitania and Mauritania would also challenge each others crossing time.

[@videonovelties9551]

There is one noticeable blooper: At the beginning of the show Cronkite states “…with its launching, man has taken another step forward in his conquest of space.” "Space"? Perhaps the word “launching” threw him off.

[@elrjames7799]

Walter alluded to Titanic being the fastest liner (erroneous), and the video gives Murdoch as 'chief mate': actually the chief officer was Wilde, Murdoch was the 1st officer.

IMDb says Hayden Rorke did four episodes of You Are There. Titanic, Pearl Harbor and two others. His Filmography implies that he was never lacking employment. I thought I saw him in some SciFi movies but I'm not seeing any listed.

[@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1ui]

This is a recreation made for a tv series, “you are there” that was popular in the 50s on CBS. They re-enacted historical events to make it look like a news report, when really everything is scripted. There were no reporters on board the real titanic, video footage would be impossible to film in the real lighting with that technology, and TV didn’t exist in 1912.

[@easyivan1976]

[@tom8181]

half empty life boats ? why?

[@1slvrwlf]

Because most of the passengers that could have used them didn't think the ship would sink, and a large number of third class passengers were locked below decks and had to fight their way to the boats, which were mostly gone by that time.

[@ordrazz]

Captain wanted camera time, so he shoved a lady passenger away...lmao ..... this is so funny because of all the inaccuracies..... & the reporter calls the captain "Captain Kirk" is hillarious...... shows how little research mainstream media did back in the 60s
