Finding shoes and no remains? That is chilling.

[@allPodd]

The vid emphasized that the shoes were found in pairs. It's hard for shoes to land back together like that if they just came off in the water. So they had to have fallen with their owners, and their owners disintegrated. D= It's creepy af to imagine the bodies that use to be there.

This is so sad and creepy when you realise that they were shoes and clothing being worn by people who died and their bodies literally vanished like a ghost or something and their shoes and clothing remain intact like they just disappeared (over time of cause). It’s very chilling. As a kid I was so fascinated with the Titanic and still am today. But I only cared about the ship and belongings. Now in my 30’s I have a better understanding for the human side of things. It’s really sad what they went through.

[@boodro2122]

I went to the Titanic Museum in Branson, I believe it was. They had a vat of water chilled to the temperature of the water the night that the Titanic sank. You could put your hand in it. It was so cold, it terrified me. However, I speculate that it wouldn't take long to become numb and succumb to hypothermia, so it may gave just been an initial shock, then numbness. I could only keep my hand in that water for a matter of seconds. It hurt.

[@astrius4125]

Yes, it's very sad if you look at it as an isolated event. But the truth of the matter is that more than 1300 out of 1600 men died because they weren't allowed in the lifeboats, compared to 100 out of 400+ women and 53 out of 109 children (and 52 of those 53 were third class passengers) who were given absolute priority. It's almost a cruel joke, even an insult that the media focuses on women and children victims when men lives were disposable and didn't matter; they were forced to sacrifice themselves in order for the former to be saved. So much for our male privilege.

[@ILOVEMARILYNMANSON89]

@@ILOVEMARILYNMANSON89 A "non-issue"? You're such a hypocrite. You think it's more important to focus on two specific people instead of the hundreds that died in the same way as these two. Most life boats were launched half-empty because of that stupid "women and children first/only" rule. That's the actual sad truth. Many more lives could've been saved, but you know, sexism. Most people died for the fact of being men, yet we cry for a woman and a child? Oh, please...

[@ILOVEMARILYNMANSON89]

@@astrius4125 the whole evacuation was handled horribly for everyone involved. The shoes just made me sad because of the way they were found and what it meant. The classism, sexism, and hubris ensured the greatest amount of casualties. I understand where you are coming from, but it all boils down to a horrible tragedy that cost lives when it could've been greatly reduced and dealt with way better. A lot men sacrificed themselves for their families, you should consider that as well.

[@amasion2882]

Women and children were evacuated first because it was presumed that adult men were more resourceful and thus better able to survive the icy waters if help/rescue arrived quickly. Many men REFUSED to leave the ship (even when offered opportunity) because they deemed it ungentlemanly, unchivalrous, etc. Most able bodied, healthy adults have better chances to save themselves than older people or children and infants. Women of that time probably didn’t have comparable survival skills as men due to lifestyle and gender expectations. The loss of life was horrible and unnecessary.

Cameron showed us moments like that in the film. When the elderly couple are spooning while water rushes beneath their bed.

Not everyone would be rushing for lifeboats, many resigned themselves to fate and seeing that evidence is sobering.

[@ms.annthropic6341]

@PaigeAnn Forrest No, it wasn't ALL fiction, if you wanna act so snarky you should do a little research first. 🙄 That old couple is based on real people, the Straus's who were coowners of Macy's department store. They were old and chose to stay behind so that there would be more room on the lifeboats for other people. People witnessed this. You know there were survivors, right? People who were there, who saw how people were responding during the crisis, some of whom survived, and then told others what it had been like on board once they were rescued. That's where the reports of what people said/did come from. Because yeah, there were plenty of people there who saw that everyone was in danger and likely to die and still did everything they could to save their own lives (sometimes successfully), because it's instinct. (I'm not saying everything in that movie is true. I'm just saying that there were plenty of little moments based on eyewitness accounts.)

No, the death of the Titanic is not the saddest story yet, in many ways this story is inflated by a Hollywood movie.

The ship with a huge number of people sank in 5 minutes. Virtually no one survived.

I've seen the documentary and I saw the shoes, what I didn't realize is that the shoes had feet and bodies attached to them where they now lay at one time. The shoes mark the location of where the people were for us to see all these years later as if they are leather grave markers. Reminds me of the shoes with feet still in them found along the coast in Europe. It took people a while to figure out that they weren't from a bizarre killing spree, but instead from a ferry that had sunk many months before. The fish couldn't get to the parts protected by the shoes and so the shoes with their cargo escaped the ship and finally washed up on shore.

Prior to this one the documentaries were searching for the Titanic and afterwards were about other things involving the Titanic.

[@ph3rtehHDawg]

I remember as a young child reading Robert Ballard's book on the Titanic and getting to the part which details his crew finding all these pairs of shoes laying in similar positions around the ocean floor. The picture that accompanies the section still haunts me to this day.

[@SharinaA]

Is that book is titled as Finding the Titanic ? I'm going to buy that book if its the same

[@ph3rtehHDawg]

@@SharinaA The book I was referencing is called 'Exploring the Titanic'. I haven't read 'Finding the Titanic' yet so I don't know the differences between the texts, but 'Exploring...' is a relatively short book fit for younger readers while still being very informative and not shying away from how tragic the disaster was. I first read it when I was around the third or fourth grade.

[@Jack-Hands]

Those two old people are supposed to be Isidore and Ida Straus. Isidore Straus was a wealthy businessman (he owned Macy's department store in NY) and probably one of the wealthiest people on board the Titanic. He and his wife Ida were 1st class passengers. Because of their 1st class status Ida was offered a place in one of the lifeboats. But because of the order "women and children first" Isidore wasn't. When Ida discovered that her husband wouldn't be joining her in the lifeboat (and would most certainly perish) she refused to enter. Saying: "We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go". After that they left together. Last people saw of the two was them sitting on a couple of deck chairs. Awaiting the end. Cameron changed this to them laying in bed, for dramatic purposes I suppose. If their real story wasn't dramatic enough.

They were probably eaten out of their shoes by crabs and cephalopods. Shoes aren't going to fall 12,000+ft underwater and land right next to each other. Those pairs of shoes were attached to people on the sea floor.

[@Concepcion30]

Yea, and what’s different here is there was no sudden implosion like what happened to the Titan sub. These were lifeless corpses just slowly drifting to the bottom of the ocean. These people were long dead before they had to worry about what the pressure at those depths would do to their bodies. However, because the corpses exposure to the pressure was more gradual, there would have been bodies or perhaps skeletons to recover if the people of 1912 were capable of doing so. Since the corpses had to remain where they lay, they slowly decayed leaving only shoes behind.

This is why it took so long to find the wreck, and why the Mount Temple found nothing at the reported position. It was pure luck that the Carpathia's course to the "wrong position" made them come across Titanic's lifeboats.
