TITANIC - FINAL MOMENTS -

[@jus10lewissr]

The sounds of people added in (good job, btw) made me think of a guy who had survived the sinking of the Titanic. He said he couldn't handle being anywhere near sports stadiums and wasn't able to take his kids to a single game, no matter how much they begged and pleaded, because the loud roar of the crowd up in the stands sounding just like the people screaming in the water once the ship finally went under.

[@IloveCruiseShips1912]

One of the best final plunge animations in my opinion. Thanks for the idea about the forward lights going out during even keel so some think she broke when all 4 funnels stood. Keep up the good work :)

[@billvanek5570]

The first break did indeed come while all 4 funnels stood. The people knew it by the sound and the stern's movements; the peoples' thoughts had nothing to do with the forward lights going out. At the first plunge: "Now, without warning, she seemed to start forward, moving forward and into the water at an angle of about 15 degrees. This movement, with the water rushing up toward us was accompanied by a rumbling roar, mixed with more muffled explosions. It was like standing under a steel railway bridge while an express train passes overhead, mingled with the noise of a pressed steel factory and wholesale breakage of china." And seconds later, just before the funnels fell: "She continued to make the same forward progress as when I left her. The water was over the base of the first funnel. The mass of people on board were surging back, always back toward the floating stern. The rumble and roar continued, with even louder distinct wrenchings and tearings of boilers and engines from their beds. Suddenly the whole superstructure of the ship appeared to split, well forward to midship, and blow or buckle upwards. The second funnel, large enough for two automobiles to pass through abreast, seemed to be lifted off, emitting a cloud of sparks." Lady Duff Gordon confirms the early breaking: "There was no excitement aboard the Titanic. We were probably a thousand feet away. Suddenly, I clutched the sides of the lifeboat. I had seen the Titanic give a curious shiver. Almost immediately we heard several pistol shots and a great screaming arise from the decks. Then the boat's stern lifted in the air and there was a tremendous explosion. After this the Titanic dropped back again. The awful screaming continued." All of this happened before the Big Plunge to high angle when all the lights went out, which was just before breaking in half. The first breaking is what caused the lights to go out soon afterward: flooding the last operating boilers in Room 2 would have stopped steam production, and the electrical generators would have run out of steam in a minute or less.

[@IloveCruiseShips1912]

@@billvanek5570What I meant was that they would mistake the lights in the bow going out as the bow disappearing or starting to break away. The reason the lights would have gone out in sections is because water short circuiting the electricity would have cause them to go out in sections. I think The vessel wouldn’t have been able to buckle at a low angle then rise to a high angle and break. The first testimony was Jack Thayer, however this was his 1940 interview which isn’t reliable because of memory fog as he would have put the second funnel and break together while in his 1912 account, he said the second funnel fell, then break. The other account is from Lucy Duff Gordon. However, Lucy Duff Gordon didn’t testify and break and most likely heard the sound of the even keel, (and it’s cause) and the ship would have looked like it was dropping because of the plunging. Other survivors also testified explosions and some testified break such as Constance Willard at this stage but I think they most likely mistook lights going out in bow as break and the sounds as the breaking instead. I don’t see how it would buckle at a low angle either due to strength of materials. Sorry for any offence, no offence meant

[@billvanek5570]

@@IloveCruiseShips1912 Again you say (twice) that people would mistake lights going out for the bow breaking off, and I'm saying that that's a ridiculous connection, and nobody was silly enough to make that connection. People knew when it broke because of the sounds, not the lights of the bow slowly going out. "We had gone about a mile when there were two big explosions and the Titanic split in two..." A mechanical failure in Euler buckling mode does not rely on the strength of the material, but is more related to its length compared to its thickness (that is, its slenderness). A structure as strong as the keel obviously held the ship together for a long while, but it could easily have failed in buckling, which would have caused two pieces of keel to spring out of line and then tear away their remaining connections in tensile tearing mode. That's exactly what is seen of the two pieces on the ocean bottom. There is more evidence of such buckling that I could go into if you like. The ship did rise to a high angle after breaking, so it is our task to figure out how, and not to explain it away. Clearly, the raising of the stern could not have been via cantilever if the keel pieces were broken out. But I'm not talking about lifting it in cantilever like a fisherman lifting his fishing pole. The key to understanding the 2nd rising is the plunging of the bow: the Big Plunge went forward and way down. It pulled the buoyant stern behind it--the same way you could pull a load in a wagon using a rope. "As the Titanic plunged deeper and deeper we could see her stern rising higher and higher" "The ship was gradually turning on her nose--just like a duck does that goes down for a dive." "She went down as far as the after funnel, and then there was a little roar as though the engines had rushed forward, and she snapped in two." I cannot understand what you mean by "heard the sound of the even keel", so I can't follow what you're saying. Lady Duff Gordon would easily be able to see the ship's movements as the plunging and breakup began, because it was lighted, and the lights would have reflected off the water as well, readily showing any departure from horizontal.

[@IloveCruiseShips1912]

@@billvanek5570 Please could you explain the evidence about the buckling?

[@billvanek5570]

@@IloveCruiseShips1912 Picture for yourself a line of dominoes, or wood blocks, or bricks, side by side in a row, sitting on your kitchen table. Put force on each end, crushing them together. At first they won't move, but eventually a few of them will jump out of line to the side that is unrestricted (that is, not toward the tabletop). That's buckling. Now assume that it is two blocks that fold upward, away from your table. Draw it on paper if you have to; that helps a a lot. When partially folded outward, the two blocks are touching each other at one corner each, and so that corner would be smashed in compression (as the front end of a car looks after it has hit a wall). The other sides of the blocks (adjacent to the blocks which haven't dislodged) have pulled away from one another by the tabletop, and are "hinging" at the corners that are still touching up above (not at the tabletop). Now turn the paper upside down, and look at the stresses that are at work (considering the weight of the two displaced blocks). You'll see that out of the 6 contacting corners of the 2 blocks, 5 of them broke in tension (pulling apart) if they had been joined by sheet metal. The only corners mashed in compression would be the two where the 2 blocks were folding outward---which, in the Titanic, would represent the tank top at frame 25. Everything that you can see in the photos of the 2 keel pieces is pulled apart in tension. That throws people off, because they are (rightly) thinking about the compressive stress state at the keel during the extreme loading. But buckling is not compressive smashing (which a strong keel would not do); it is the jumping out of line of a few pieces, and the actual failure of the molecules is in tension in 5 out of 6 locations.

[@nathanashmore2131]

I’m new to the Titanic community, so maybe there’s things I’m not yet aware of. But from what I’ve read survivors say about the sinking, added all up together it looks like the Titanic sank gradually, maybe bodily, and towards the end had a breakup that occurred in several stages. In particular, there’s Thayer who said the water came up to the first funnel and then the superstructure split open, while in contrast you have others describing the ship standing on end with some saying she sank to the fourth funnel before busting in two. I can only imagine a prolonged and chaotic breakup and people just seeing different parts of it. There’s also that one account (can’t remember the name of who it was) saying she went up and then down and then up and then right down again, like the stern was rising and rocking several times in a tumult. All the KZbin theories I see just have a nice and simple “rise > break > drop > plunge” concept despite witness testimony appearing to contradict it. And there’s the usual “the first funnel fell, then a minute later the second funnel fell” sort of thing like it’s nice and straightforward, when it instead seems like the funnels were all intact at the beginning of the break and the two forward funnels fell almost together. Everything seems to be happening everywhere and all at once. And there’s the port list being portrayed as only a few degrees, but people on deck said it was so severe that it felt like the ship was going to tip over, enough for the crew to tell the remaining passengers to go to the starboard side to steady the ship. I don’t know if I’m missing something that leads people in this community to come up with this fairly consistent, simple, and clean portrayal of Titanic’s breakup, but it doesn’t really seem to be matching what witnesses remembered seeing. This isn’t a call out to this video specifically. This just happens to be the moment where I wanted to say something. Okay, maybe I’m not so new. I fell down the rabbit hole. But I’ve only been around for a few months.

[@DannyDraws1912]

I totally understand what your saying, when u leave the community for awhile and come back alot changes. Me and plenty of others over the past few years have studied survivor accounts and the wreck and tried to align them with each other. We have found that the last moments during the final plunge were alot faster then originally thought. It accounts for those who didnt see the 1st funnel fall or seen the 2nd fall first and also accounts for those who didnt see the ship break at all. We have also discovered that the break up doesnt have to be messy, yes the break up was messy but not in the way were whole structures were evaporated, We came to the conclusion that the Forward and Aft Towers cant come off at the surface as the FT wont end up as far east as it is along with the Double Bottom. And the crew tellling the passengers to all go to the Starboard side to straighten her up was at about 1:50 - 2:00AM, not the plunge. During the Plunge it was noted by many that the ship evened out her port list and settled on a Slight Starboard List. And we account for those who see all the 4 funnels there during the break up with the forward and Mis section of Lights going out at diffrent stages confusing them. The forward section at around 2:07AM and the Mis Section at about 2:16AM. And Thayer actually said that he saw the 2nd funnel all with a mass of sparks and steam escaping and then the ship Buckling, which he more likely described as the break up.

[@billvanek5570]

Nathanashmore, You are more correct than all of the break-up videos. The videos are indeed simplistic when they show just one breaking. If you read all of the accounts, you will see that they fit together in this outline: 1. First plunge: water comes quickly onto starboard boat deck. Ship begins to increase past 10 degrees forward pitch. "The ship took a slight, but definite plunge...and the sea came rolling up in a wave, over the steel-fronted bridge, along the [boat] deck below us." 2. First break: somewhere between 10 and 20 degrees, the first breaking occurs, per Jack Thayer's and Lady Duff Gordon's accounts. The stern drops, raising the bow several feet for a momentary surfacing at the starboard boat deck. And all of this happened in seconds, not minutes. "Now, without warning, she seemed to start forward, moving forward and into the water at an angle of about 15 degrees. This movement, with the water rushing up toward us was accompanied by a rumbling roar, mixed with more muffled explosions. It was like standing under a steel railway bridge while an express train passes overhead, mingled with the noise of a pressed steel factory and wholesale breakage of china." 3. Second plunge: the boat deck goes under again. Forward funnels fall. The ship plunges forward and down, which pulls the buoyant stern under, so the stern rises to a high angle, during which the last lights go out (due to the first breaking causing the loss of steam less than a minute earlier). This second plunge is the "Big Plunge" that everyone talks about, and mistakenly runs together with the first plunge. "It seemed as though the stern of the boat, fully lighted up, stood up in the sky, suggesting one of our skyscrapers, so high did the outline mark the skyline. It then seemed to shoot or dive into the sea." 4. Once the Big Plunge stops, there is no support for the stern, so the 2nd breaking occurs, with the stern crushing down to horizontal, the "towers" forming, and the back end of the bow (or the forward tower sitting loose on the back end of the bow half, as I believe) showing enough for people to have seen it pointing downward. The final parting occurs. "She went down as far as the after funnel, and then there was a little roar as though the engines had rushed forward, and she snapped in two." 5. The stern floats freely for a minute or two, while flooding through its broken end. It floods enough to tip upward almost perpendicularly, with 100-150 feet sticking up, and 200-250 feet below the surface, for half a minute as it makes a 180-degree spin. Then it plunges down (3rd plunging that was spoken of). It's this wide variety of movements that caused so many differences in testimony. Most people today interpret the differences as contradictions, but they were simply observations at different times. (People often got the timing wrong, though.) Therefore, the reality is "both/and", not "either/or": did it break at low angle, or high angle? Yes; both. Did it break up quickly, or slowly? There were both quick and slow periods. Was it a top-down breaking or a bottom-up breaking? Both. [The ship] "went down and then up, and then she busted in two and went down again." Three plunges: "There were about fifteen of us [together on the stern] when she took the first plunge. After the second there were only five of us left." This same man, a little later, with only 1 companion left, at the final plunge: "We made the sign of the cross" and "I went down with the ship…"

Amazing work mate. Although you did miss one crucial piece from the animation. It was reported at both inquires into the disaster, that around 20-30 seconds after the stern went under, there was what people described as an underwater explosion, as we now know that would have been the stern imploding after going under with alot of air pockets still inside. I don't think I've actually seen an animation that takes this into account but none the less Danny, amazing work my friend :)

So it makes more sense that he gets washed under during the even keel for a couple of seconds

that's right, Harold Bride didn't mention anywhere that he was pinned down by the dinghy, he only said that he later ended up under the dinghy, so maybe he already fell onto the overturned dinghy when he grabbed it incorrectly and fell off along with the folding dinghy, maybe even injured his leg in the fall, since he mentioned That his leg hurt​@@DannyDraws1912

As First Officer Murdoch attempts to get Collapsible A to the davits, which have been swung in, a crowd rushes the boat; a Senior Officer (Chief to 2nd) draws his gun and fires it twice; the targets of which remain unknown to this day. As the boat deck nears the water, Sixth Officer Moody shouts to cut the falls, as a crewman separates the aft falls from the collapsible, Moody reaches for the forward falls, attempting to unhook the block from the boat. Suddenly, the ship fully evens out and Murdoch and Moody are last seen working to free the boat from the deck, as the sea rushes onto the deck; knocking down anyone still on the deck in its path. Collapsible B floats onto the Starboard Side, and Lightoller claims to have seen the two officers go down. The Forwardmost Funnel’s base implodes, and the wires snap; except for two on the starboard; giving it a pull to that side. Both Collapsibles are washed clear.

[@billvanek5570]

rhyusbrand8311, actually there was no rope cutting prior to the starboard boat deck flooding. “I was swept away from where I was right against the collapsible boat...whilst all this was going on she was going under water and it seemed as if thousands of men were dragging me under with her, when suddenly her (the forward) nose on which I was seemed to suddenly rise from underneath the water, and I and a few more that were close by cut the ropes that held the boat to the falls." "The Titanic gave a lurch downward and we were in the water up to our hips. She rose again slightly, and I succeeded in cutting the second rope which held her stern. Another lurch threw this boat and myself off and away from the ship into the water." It was the big wave of water first, then a momentary rising that allowed them to cut the ropes, then a second flooding that broke the boat and turned it upright, so that it was upright and swamped.

Let us pull away.’ The other passengers agreed, and we pulled away from the Titanic, and after that we stopped rowing for awhile, and she was going down by the bow most all the time, and all of a sudden there were four sharp explosions about that far apart, just like this (the witness indicating by snapping his fingers four times), and then she dipped and the stern stood up in the air, and then the cries began for help.

A small (well, how to say a small) correction, after the ship leveled off on an even keel, the bow of the ship rose slightly out of the water for 5 seconds, take this into account

[@DannyDraws1912]

This is a debated topic which me and other have looked into recently. This rising that they seen isn't the ship actually rising but is the ship listing back to port by a degree for a moment after the even keel which causes it to look like the ship rises slightly. This was accounted by passengers such as Eugene Daly at Boat A who then saw her take a sudden drop.

[@nyt3Hara]

@@DannyDraws1912 It's called energy, am I right? the wave swept across the deck lowering the nose, but not flooding it from the inside with water, which is why the nose slightly returned to its angle of inclination, in which it was before the wave

@@DannyDraws1912 How many degrees from starboard to port would it have listed during the listing? My research suggests it was on 1 degree starboard list after even keel. How many degrees would it have briefly listed to port again?

[@DannyDraws1912]

Guess we shall just ignore dozens of survivor accounts then example Eugene Daly "There was a terrible crowd standing about. The officer in charge pointed a revolver and waved his hand and said that if any man tried to get in he would shoot him on the spot. Two men tried to break through and he shot them both. I saw him shoot them. I saw them lying thereafter they were shot. One seemed to be dead. The other was trying to pull himself up at the side of the deck, but he could not. I tried to get to the boat also, but was afraid I would be shot and stayed back. Afterward, there was another shot and I saw the officer himself lying on the deck. They told me he shot himself, but I did not see him." This is just to name a few, there is dozens of accounts of an officer shooting himself late into the sinking, to much that it cant be ignored.

[@nyt3Hara]

did he shoot himself because he realized that if the survivors reported this, he would be imprisoned, did he commit suicide because of this?​@@DannyDraws1912

My question is how the emergency dynamos would stay on for 20 seconds after the steamlines broke? You'd think without steam pressure, they'd go out immediately.

[@DannyDraws1912]

On first glance we thought that too, but judging you can still generate power once the dynamos are spinning we put forward that the emergency lights stay on for 20 seconds post break up due to the dynamos spinning down, as they wont just stop after the steam lines break.

[@brianwhitford6086]

@@DannyDraws1912 Ah! That makes sense. And it's so simple too. They would keep spinning freely until friction ultimately takes over after all the steam is gone. I d9nt know why i didnt think of that before. =3=; That raises another question, though. How did you estimate the number of seconds the dynamos would still be running before they powered down?

I'm reasonably certain all funnels fell before she went under. One testimony isn't all u should go on. By that logic she didn't break up either

[@DannyDraws1912]

Well actually, There is no accounts that say that the 4th funnel fell, and there isn’t even a logical reason for it to either as it’s structure was heavily more reinforced then the other 3

[@IloveCruiseShips1912]

@dylancloud97 The 4th funnel was built very differently from the 3rd funnel. It was built much stronger and the guy wires were only their to help with Stability. None of the Titanic's funnels fell because of the guy wires snapping. The wires snapped because the funnels were falling. Even if the deckhouse formed, which I think it did due to Fred Scott's Testimony, it would snap nearly all guy wires but based on my research, due to its design and how well built it was (that the funnels probably fell partially submerged but based on my research, only 40%) it wouldn't fall. Their is also evidence of this on the wreck, if it fell, the deckhouse would have been crushed and mangled. However, it isn't, so that would help suggest that it fell late. The damage to the first class smoking room was probably caused by the implosion. Unless the stern crashed back into the water, then the 4th funnel falling would be quite unrealistic. I doubt it even fell at the surface. If it fell at the surface, it would end up further from the stern but it is quite near to the stern so it probably would have disintegrated during the descent. It was built quite strongly so it couldn't have fallen unless the stern crashed back. It would require less force than the mast so if it fell, the mast would have fallen. While the 4th funnel was fake, it was quite structurally stable. Plenty of survivors said it stood long after break. These include Jack Thayer, Ida Hippach, Edward Buley, George Crowe, Samuel Rule, George Symons, Frank Evans, Fredrick Hoyt, Thomas Dillon, Ruth Becker, Patrick Dillon, Thomas Ranger, and John Collins. If it falls during or after break, it dismisses countless survivors. For example, Jack Thayer literally said that he saw the fourth funnel in the water still standing as the stern rose up.Ida Hippach and Edward Buley said that they watched the remaining funnel for several minutes.Thomas Dillon said that the funnel didn't fall until the ship actually went down.George Crowe, when asked, said that it remained standing after the stern floated back.John Collins said it was still visible when the ship turned over and went down. The reason everyone says it did was because it was shown in several popular theories. While scources like OASAG are great scources in my opninion, they went with the funnel collapse in break as it is the general consensus of what happened. Apologies for any offense, no offense meant.

2:20 is the general accepted time that she vanished from the surface, but it's far from exact. It's not as though people were staring at their watches, timing it as the stern disappeared precisely at 2:20:00 AM. A major way we know she sank at around 2:20 is due to found pocket watches on victims that stopped when in contact with the freezing water, but not every watch read the same time.

[@TK42100]

Just curious, what account of Thayer’s mentioned the fourth funnel reaching the water and not toppling?

[@IloveCruiseShips1912]

His 1940 testimony mentioned it. Jack Thayer - 'It seemed as though hours had passed since I left the ship; yet it was probably not more than four minutes, if that long. There was the gigantic mass, about 50 or 60 yards away. The forward motion had stopped. She was pivoting on a point just abaft of midship. Her stern was gradually rising into the air, seemingly in no hurry, just slowly and deliberately. The last funnel was about on the surface of the water. It was the dummy funnel, and I do not believe it fell.'
