The Coal fire occurring and damaging the watertight bulkhead and in the same area that the Iceberg hit. The coal fire would have burned hot enough to damage the steel and a photo has turned up that verifies the external damage which means the owners knew about it and are fully complicit in the sinking. Officer Lighttower took a secret to his grave that his family recently divulged. In essence, the bridge crew steering the ship in the wrong direction then realized it and swung the ship the other way but it was too late. Even if the ship had enough lifeboats they would not have been able to get everyone off the ship. James Cameron estimates that it took some 15 minutes to get the boats loaded and into the water, so without more crew they would and did run out of time (Two lifeboats did not get properly deployed as the ship sunk). Since two lifeboats did not get deployed the ship sunk faster than the limited number lifeboats they had could be deployed.

My grandmother had lived in New York at the time, and was 12 years old when Titanic went down. When she was about 80 years old, I asked her what was the first big historical event she could remember in her life. Without hesitation, she said the Titanic. She said that was big news in New York, and that even as a child, she remembered it very well.

[@theshillneckedlizard8364]

My great-grandmother was also 12 years old at the time the Titanic went down. She died in 2002 at the age of 102 and she was also able to remember the event well. As she lived in Australia, it was actually several days before they heard about it and initial reports were that everyone had been saved, and the Australian public were horrified when it finally became clear how many people had died. Her own father was a bible-thumping Scots Presbyterian and used to rant about how it was God's judgement on the shipowners for saying it was unsinkable.

[@jonathan7379]

The spotters indeed saw the iceberg, but what is not told here is that the crew member responsible for steering at that moment (the captain was asleep) tried to avoid it, only making it worse. If hit just hit the front, only one or 2 compartments would fill with water. Now it was ripped in much more compartments, making the flow of water inside the ship much worse, eventually leading it to sink.

[@gabrielalvarado7849]

Mr. Murdoch saw it first, actually.

[@skab123]

And you too. What you didn't tell, it broke into 2 pieces before sinking.

[@TiffWaffles]

@@skab123 I think what Jonathan was trying to say was that if the crew member (whether captain or somebody else) didn't try to steer the ship away from the iceberg and it was a direct hit to the front that the tragedy wouldn't have happened. Yet, the same amount of damage would have been done to the ship even if it struck the iceberg head on. It still would have been a tragedy. The compartments would have still filled with water.

[@72Yonatan]

They could have saved at least another 600 people if they had properly loaded the 20 lifeboats which were available to them. 600 people died needlessly due to careless handling of the crew.

[@jaybrick8973]

They couldn't even launch two of the lifeboats in time what a tragedy

[@nothanks1239]

Captain Smith and Mr Andrews did actually call for the underoccupied lifeboats to come back, through a megaphone. They called for them to come back and eventually gave up about 10 minutes before the ship sank. Of course, none of the lifeboats returned to the titanic.

[@TornadoHarry]

It's not that the crew was carless. The passengers didn't know the ship was sinking at first and refused to get into the lifeboats. Then the refusal and suspicion turned into panic as people realized the ship was sinking, but most of the lifeboats had been lowered at that time.

They also required lifeboat drills which Captain Smith canceled. It was scheduled for the morning of April 14, 1912. Since the officers had not been trained in how to lower the lifeboats, it was chaos that night and the reason they didn't fill all lifeboats to capacity

[@Ekircher5]

1st, non of the ships designers claimed she was unsinkable, one of them stated that due to her compartmented design and double bottom, she was "practically unsinkable" which to most damage that normally befalled ships, she was. 2nd, the ships designers did not cut down the number of lifeboats, she actually had more life boats than were legally required. The laws that decided this were updated just 2 years before the Titanic sank. The reason they were not required to have enough boats for all on board was because the boats were only ever intended to ferry passengers from the sinking ship to a rescue ship. Not to support everyone on the ship floating in the ocean for hours. 3rd The reason the lifeboats were lowered half full was because the Californian was believed by the passengers and crew to be on her way to save them, she was only 10 miles from the Titanic when she sunk, they could see each other, so the crew decided that filling the boats to capacity wasn't important because help was right there. However, despite 8 distress rockets being fired and attempting to contact the ship via Morse lamp, the Californian never responded, and watched as the ship sink. I honestly expected better from natgeo but they basically just recited the 1997 movies version of events.

[@yusuf-6011]

So you're made opinion without evidence. Netgeo full of evidence, your comment rejected what netgeo say.

[@samreagan6292]

It’s important to remember that titanic barely launched all the lifeboats it did have, with the last lifeboat literally floating off the deck of the titanic during its plunge, doubling or tripling the number of lifeboats wouldn’t necessarily double or triple the number of people saved

[@xiao_feng]

Correct. Out of 20 lifeboats only 18 were successfully launched. It wasn’t easy to launch one took long time, so even if Titanic carried 40 lifeboats they still wouldn’t be able to save everybody in time before the ship sank.

[@Zaltic]

Rest In Peace to all the lost lives

[@COASTER_CHASER_1]

Part of the issue with the life boats is that at that time there were well documented cases of the life boats being unsafe. Life boats on ships would often sink or capsize out in open water. So one of the reasons the lifeboats were not full is passengers not trusting them. The woman and children was a miscommunication, while officers were told women and children first, if there wasn’t any present then they could load anyone but the command was miss interpreted. Tests have been done using the davit system the titanic had, and even it the ship had enough life boats there wouldn’t have been enough time to launch them all, and the last 2 that night were floated off.

[@sundayogundeji9654]

I’m sorry, but it’s not acceptable for a well-funded media company like Nat Geo to produce a video or documentary about a ship and use pictures of totally different ships. I understand if there aren’t many pictures of a particular ship and you instead use pictures of a similar ship. But 1) there are innumerable pictures of the Olympic class ships and 2) even if there weren’t, don’t use pictures of 3-funneled ships which anyone can recognize as being different from 4-funneled ships.

[@afmx4228]

The fact that they didn’t fell up the life boats to their full capacity is such an idiotic decision!

[@peaceforworld3427]

Many aspects to this. One of them is that people could not believe that the ship they were told as unsinkable would actually sink! They were resisting to leave the Titanic. Also there was fear of coming down over the ocean in a small boat. The lifeboats launched off the board initially were not filled upto the capacity mainly because of this reason.

Cutting the Lifeboat number in half just to make the decks love clean and elegant is wrong. Titanic had more than the law required at the time which was 16 lifeboats. It wasn't due to arrogance over safety it was just outdated maritime law.

The problem was that Titanic had many corridors, passages and stairs and not every was opened, so third class had it harder to exit their deck because it was lower and deeper in the ship. But it's true that there was no "preventing" third class passengers to rescue themselves.

RMS Carpathia was real hero there and it gives me goosebumps when i here about it

[@CharlesTheClumsy]

The ship was 269 meters. Not 266. The lookout crew were on the crows nest. Not on the bow. The distress signals weren't sent from the middle of the ship as the animation shows. One life boat only had 12 passengers. Far less than the 28 this video pointed out.

This video reminds me the love story on titanic between jack and roz dawson ..and the story of titanic will stay with our heart forever..

You are right DON'T even DARE...

God didn't have anything to do with this.

2:49 Finally someone that has the correct time for the launch of lifeboats. It was indeed 12:25, not 12:45

[@sjcobra84]

Safety should have been first priority. More life boats, survival boat testing and critical radio communication between deck staff. Only if these factors worked to full effect, this sadness could have been avoided. RIP to the people who died that night.

titanic: yeah we're unsinkable ocean: *no*

[@T3rry_0ff]

I'm back here because of the missing titan sub. I hope they make it back alive and safe. I pray for them 🙏🙏🙏

When it hit the iceberg you said it hit the right side. That’s correct but why didn’t you just say starboard?

[@gabrielalvarado7849]

Not everyone knows what it means

[@rennzx5026]

Are those actual photos of the event?

The wartime sinking of the German Wilhelm Gustloff in January 1945 in World War II by a Soviet Navy submarine, with an estimated loss of about 9,400 people, 5,000 being children, remains the deadliest maritime disaster ever. The 1987 loss of the Philippine ferry Doña Paz, with an estimated 4,386 dead, is the largest peacetime loss recorded.

[@joyceandrews1617]

They did not "cut" the number of lifeboats. The ship was actually carrying more than was legally required for a ship of that size and weight. At that time the number of lifeboats on a ship was determined by the tonnage of the ship NOT by how many people the ship could carry. It's also been proven that having binoculars would not have made a difference because the use of binoculars limits a person's range of vision so to see as much of the horizon as possible they would not have used the binoculars until AFTER the iceberg was spotted which would have been to late. Also, because of a minor error in determining the position of the ship 2 days before the collision that was never corrected when they sent the distress signal they gave the wrong coordinates so even if The Californian had heard the call they would have gone to the wrong lication and would not have found anything. The Carpathia only found the survivors because one of the lifeboats sent up a flair hoping to be able to see if a rescue ship was in sight.

The photo at 1:14 is a ship with only 3 smoke stacks. Titanic had 4

[@stephendavidbailey2743]

3:26 one of the collapsible lifeboats. Also, it's Titanic, not 'the' Titanic.

[@notgen94]

People: Come on were gonna be late to go on board the titanic!. Rich people: WAIT i gotta put on my Chanel clothes.

[@louisprestoey]

It wasn't ONE OF the largest ships of its time, it WAS THE largest ship of it's time

[@stevesmith1383]

LouisNU technically it’s both. It’s like how a square is a rectangle but not the other way around. So the largest ship of its time would also be one of the largest ships of its time, the latter is just less specific

[@garfield8829]

Honestly this is so rad, it helps so much with modern day safety of boats and corses.

[@AlanpittsS2a]

I wish people would talk about the things that have been robbed off of titanic or how subs landing on the deck is destroying it. Im all for removing items for history and people to see but there has got to be a certain level of respect that not all have and some of the items need to stay there.

[@keepitapostolic.]

It took a disaster for people to realize you need enough lifeboats for everyone on board?? 😤😤

[@rude5801]

Rest In Peace Michael 😩💔

1:11 That's the RMS Majestic, not Titanic.
