Amazing work Jack!

Titanic:- Enough Time. Less Lifeboats😢 Lusitania:-Enough Lifeboats. Less Time😢

The fact she sank so fast makes it so terrifying. Awesome job, too.

The thing that has always stuck out to me regarding the sinking was the weather: It was a bright, sunny, and beautiful day off the Old Head of Kinsale that afternoon, with many locals like the Hendersons out on picnics, only to witness the horrific events in the distance. This video really helped show that sad juxtaposition.

This is unreal. Great work

I've been reading Diana Preston's 'Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy' and she does a really job in explaining the physical sinking, as well as passenger reactions and actions. This animation seems to really fit everything I've read, and it's done in such an incredible way. Even the funnel soot explosions as their tops went underwater (and several people were sucked in and some out!) was animated. Great job!

Going down in the muddle of the ocean has to be the scariest feeling you could imagine.

..Apart from the horrific visuals one after another. .the sounds also were so terrifying, bone-chilling & haunting...Can't imagine what a nightmare those poor passengers went through that day in the real sinking....Breathtakingly realistic animation by Jack Gibson..Jack is with THG... ..The Lusitania model creator also earns a special respect from us cause the rendering is done beautifully with historical accuracies...Love you guyz from the bottom of my heart...Please get these stuff going... . 👌🏼👏🏼🤘🏼👍🏼💙🙏🏼🥺

Whenever you feel like a failure, remember you could of been like the Lusitanias lifeboats

My hats off to the creator, This is the first time I have watched a Lusitania sinking animation and genuinely got a idea of the hopelessness and despair of the passengers as their ship ship sank so fast out from underneath them. To a point the soundscape was at a level where it made me feel like I was there

Your use of perspective, sea conditions, gravity, physics, and well research facts, makes this the best computerized simulation of a sinking. That's not to say some of the recent "Titanic" sims aren't as good, but this employs every true applicable condition on the liner and above the liner. This is above anything produced to date. "excellent" doesn't say enough. I have studied "Lusitania", "Titanic" and especially "Andrea Doria" enough to call myself an authority on the liner sinkings. This sim is superior.

🎥”I hope LUSITANIA will someday become a brand new Hollywood/British movie production in this 21st century! Because LUSITANIA deserves to be popular today as her old competitor TITANIC and LUSITANIA needs more appreciation to remember her tragic time on the Southern Irish coast since May 7th 1915!” 🎥🎞🍿LUSITANIA⭐️🚢🌅

109 years ago today 1915-2024!

WOW! Just WOW! The graphics are getting so realistic nowadays that it feels like we are observing the ship in 1915. I wish you could make more of this video's like an alternate reality where Britannic makes her maiden voyage after the First World War.

The animation is great but in my opinion, it is the incredible sound ambience that sells this as a masterpiece! You can hear the panic and tension and it makes it all the more real. Bravo!

This is truly incredible! Out of all of the Lusitania animations I’ve seen, this one is far superior. The animation is superb and the cinematography is exquisite! But what takes the cake for me is the sound design! It has so much depth, and gravity, particularly from 17:36 to 18:11. When ships stern shot out of the water, combined with those sounds, I sat there with my mouth open, and chills ran down my spine. Whoever did the sound design, 11/10! Truly incredible work Jack!

Holy guacamole this is just FREAKING AMAZING!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!! WE’RE ALL VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

OUTSTANDING!!! Well Detailed And Well Accurate. I Call This Video A "Ture Blockbuster Original Masterpiece." And It Deserves An Emmy Award.

This is beautifully done. The animation, the sounds, the shot composition. Top notch! While I'm not very knowledgeable about Lusitania, this looks pretty accurate to me. Interestingly enough, there is a sketch from a survivor that depicts Lusitania plunging bodily, while quite a few accounts recall the stern rising into the air.

Hey just remember as we spoken last year to change the funnel number 4 (most forward) connected to boiler room 1 below to not smoke; boiler room number one as an auxiliary boiler room for high speed crossing was off on that trip. However all other 3 boiler rooms were on. So funnels 1, 2 and 3 (counting from the aft towards bow as Cunard did in opposite to White Star; same as we counting boiler rooms in opposite from bow to aft on Lusitania), do make lot of smoke. Water rushed inside; 45seconds - 1.30 minute later second explosion - most likely steam ruptured- occurred, crew panics or is simply unable to fight incoming water and run away leaving manually operating bunker hatches between boiler rooms and the flooding coal bunkers wide open for the sea. Ship becomes to flood and within probably 9-10 minutes takes on as much as 10-12,000 tons of water. She was, after 15 minutes roughly in the same condition as Titanic after 2 hours and 20 minutes of sinking. As portholes opened on F and E deck, watertight compartments above the boiler rooms become redundant, and water progresses further up, getting to C deck within 10 minutes after the torpedo impact. Simply a combination of massive destructive damage caused by 250kgs of TNT on the torpedo, steam rapture, crew inability to close the door, and extreme rate of flooding on multiple decks simultaneously, nailed all Lusitania’s abilities to stay afloat and survive something what theoretically was constructed for, based on war ship designs.

The thing i like about Jack's animations is how some shots are mirrors to actual shots used in movies/films about the ship in question. Around the 1:30 mark is a shot very similar to a Lusitania docudrama from the 2000s

Wow! The animation and shot compositions are AMAZING!

You did an amazing job on this real-time sinking video of the Lusitania. Out of all the real-time Lusitania sinking videos I have seen, this is the best one as far, amazing job Jack!

The most realistic animation of lusitania i ever seen

How am I just now finding out that you have a KZfaq channel?! First of all, this animation was breathtaking from start to finish!! Secondly, I must say that every single time I see your work whether it’s the Lusitania, Empress of Ireland, or the Titanic. You always never cease to amaze me! Your animations not only feel cinematic, but they feel intimate and genuinely immersive. Something that I feel imo a lot of animations lack. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. And I’ll be waiting for your next masterpiece in the future! 😊🙏🏻🖤✌🏻

May those unfortunate souls rest in peace.

Excellent work! I collect Lusitania animations and this is one of the best ones - in my opinion the sinking was scarier than Titanic because people had very little time to save their lives.

Brilliant job, Jack! Only mere 3 years after the loss of Titanic, the Lusitania comes to her own untimely end with a great loss of life...

Listening to the "Scream" Soundtrack "Randy almost gets it" "Gail crashes the Van" "They're crazy" is kinda fitting....

Amazing how the funnels doesn't collapse due to it's list.Titanic first funnels collapse during the sinking.

That looks amazing. I really loved some of those shots in this animation.

Excellent video! For those curious about the significance of the sinking of the Lusitania in the context of World War I, here’s some insight: Among Lusitania’s dead were 123 Americans, and this sinking enraged the United States, who was largely committed to not getting involved in WWI at this point. In response to this sinking and to stave off the potential US entry into the war, Germany established the Sussex Pledge, where they promised that any ship targeted by a U-boat would be warned beforehand and the people evacuated before the ship was sunk. The United States would not enter World War I until 1917. Contrary to popular belief though, while the sinking of the Lusitania was a big factor in the United States’ eventual decision, it was not the deciding factor or the biggest factor- that would be the Zimmerman telegram; which came about a year and a half after the Lusitania sank EDIT: It was brought to my attention that it was the sinking of the SS Sussex that actually inspired the Sussex pledge; I apologize for the confusion; seems my history textbook from high school oversimplified the story

This was very scary to watch, can you just imagine? If you are in the lifeboat finally, you think that you might be saved. Only to be thrown out!!! It's actually very horrifying. Yet somehow the entire video is very beautiful too. Great video. ❤

"Travellers intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between Germany... and Great Britain... travellers sailing in the war zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk." -- Imperial German-US Embassy, April 1915

RIP To the 1,195 passengers and crew who were killed in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania

Am i the only one who wishes they'd one day make a full blockbuster movie about this tragedy? Also, great editing and camera angles here. The addition of "people" makes this even more realistic and horrifying.

They learnt one lesson from the Titanic; they had enough lifeboats. Unfortunately they still hadn't learnt how to launch them properly and safely. Skip shoulda ordered all the lifeboats on the port side (the side the boats were scraping on ) to be lowered empty that way people could have climbed into them when the Lusitania was gone. Tragic that so many died again.

Amazing work as always Jack!

This was excellent. Thank you for your efforts for bringing this sinking to life

This was very well done. Excellent angles and very realistic

This is one of the best ship sinking videos I've ever seen. The details of boat and scenery as well as the explanations and everything are on point 👍

The sounds you did for this were haunting to put it lightly. This is amazing work!!

Wow. Simply amazing! Great work

This is absolutely amazing and gave me some more inspiration for my upcoming project

Mike speaks very highly of you as I'm sure you know. Completely deserved!

Fantastic job.Thank you!

Looks amazing, I like the graphics. Well done Jack!

Amazing work, Jack!

“Jack, this is exquisite work!”

13:20 OH MY GOD

My great great grandfather survived the sinking, he was deck hand and was on promenade deck working when the Torpedo struck. His best friend was trapped in the forward storage bunker which only had a electric elevator in and out. When the electric went out all the men down there were doomed. Ome of the reasons that emergency exits became mandatory. He lived a long life and never forgot his friend. My grandmother said he would talk of him even up until the day he passed on. He was gone before I was even a thought but 40 years on the oceans.

Great animation Jack very proud ❤

Jack, this is outstanding; congrats! 😃

Awesome Animation Jack!

This is an amazing representation. Quickly become a fan of your work and channel. Assuming also your the same Jack who animated the sinking of the Empress with Oceanliner designs. Incredible work! ❤

I have to say, it is extortionary, it really REALLY is, it's breathtaking the amount of work and detail gone into it is just outstanding.

Definitely my favourite real-time sinking of the lusitania great job thw animation is just fantastic.👍

Beautiful work you did alot of effort into this❤

Well done. I like the attention to detail (like the shadows). I also liked how the people floated along the deck. Like the Penguin in the Blues Brothers movie.

Probably the best version of the sinking I've seen to date. There's even smoke from where the 2nd explosion likely took place. Too bad there were no inside shots, but there were plenty of unique views during the sinking itself. Lusitania seemed to be the best case of what could go wrong did go wrong.

The level of detail is insane, great job!

These videos are so fascinating but so morbid. Like no one would ever want to be there in real life. But we still want to see what it would be like if we were there. Thanks for the videos. I always enjoy them.

Truly fantastic. Appreciate your effort

This is by far the best sinking simulation I have seen of the RMS Lusitania. I'm very impressed 👏

I also really liked this video about the sinking of the RMS Lusitania 👍

Finally s theory that's very accurate to the survivor testimony and new sketches I found

I'm amazed that she remained intact even though so much of her was out of the water, unlike Titanic of course.

This is amazing Jack.

only commenting just now but i watched it when it premiered! you did amazing jack you should be proud!

My Great Grandfather and my Great Aunt survived the sinking.

Best lusitania sinking on youtube.

Really well made, good job man!

Awesome work Jack!

Amazing how you show smoke coming out of the forward funnel long after the boiler room is flooded.

How this are amazing details,great job!

Props to the cameraman who went back in time to film this! 😃

This must have been so much easier to make than Winsor McCay's animation of the sinking in real time made over a hundred years ago. He had to invent new methods of animation to do it.

Dude this was phenomenal !

The best lusitania animation i have ever seen

Great work this looks fantastic! You should make a short movie or something about the Lusitania because this looks awesome.

I m in love with these oceanliners : so elegant and beautiful

_LUSITANIA REAL-TIME SINKING_ (TIMELINE OF EVENTS) May 7, 1915, 2:08 p.m. Celtic Sea, 11 miles South of Kinsale, SW Coastline of Ireland The Cunard passenger ship RMS Lusitania in on the seventh and final day of a routine voyage from New York City to Liverpool. Operating in wartime, the captain has taken precautions in the past several hours to avoid enemy submarines, and believes that the ship has steered clear of potential danger and will arrive in port by evening... 2:09 p.m. (1:53) - Lusitania's crew spots a torpedo (fired from German u-boat U-20) approaching the ship and attempts evasive action. 2:10 p.m. (2:07) - A single torpedo strikes the Lusitania on the starboard side in the No. 1 boiler room underneath the bridge. (2:11) - A second explosion from the forward boiler room sends a geyser of coal lumps and dust erupting through the top deck* (2:19) - Almost immediately, the Lusitania develops a sharp starboard list as water rapidly fills hull. 2:11 p.m. (3:36) - In an attempt to beach the ship, Turner hopes to steer the ship north towards the Irish coast. The ship's steering, however, quickly ceases to be responsive. - Realizing beaching is hopeless, Turner order the engines full astern , but the engineers are unable to implement commands due to loss of steam pressure. 2:12 p.m. (4:42) - Emergency distress signals are sent out and received the the coastal wireless station. 2:13 p.m. (6:05) - The ship's power fails. 2:14 p.m. (7:10) - In the ensuing panic, several lifeboats are loaded and launched without authorization. All attempts fail. - The Lusitania carries 48 lifeboats with a carrying capacity that is more than sufficient for all passengers and crew onboard. 2:16 p.m. (8:41) - Despite having lost engine power, the Lusitania continues to cruise forward by momentum, but slows down. 2:18 p.m. (11:19) - Captain turner gives the order to being launching the boats as the ship slows down enough to safely lower. - Only six are successfully launched. 2:19 p.m. (12:18) - The forecastle deck reaches the waterline. - In the panic, Many passengers jump overboard to escape the sinking ship. 2:21 p.m. (14:39) - The bridge and boat deck reach the waterline. 2:23 p.m. (15:30) - Lusitania begins its final plunge. 2:25 p.m. (17:40) - As the bow plunges forward, the stern section rises. 2:26 p.m. (18:50) - The Lusitania's bow crushes into the seabed. The stern halts its rise and slowly begins to lower and settle into the ocean. 2:28 p.m. (20:31) - The Lusitania slips beneath the waves. SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndJzqZZe2NrLhnk.html - Lusitania - How the Disaster Could Have Been Avoided www.lusitania.net/disaster.htm - Lusitania Online, "Disaster, Rescue, Recovery" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_RMS_Lusitania#See_also - Wikipedia, "Sinking of the RMS Lusitania" www.pbs.org/lostliners/lusitania.html - "Lusitania" from PBS Lost Liners *The exact cause of the second explosion is unknown. Most plausible hypotheses are either a boiler exploded or an empty coal bunker ignited.

Your use of 'longeurs' - sustained shots where little seems to be happening - are excruciatingly effective, creating an agonizing sense of chaos and inaction through an unsentimental objective distance (the section from 9:15-10:19 being a notable example); also the groaning sounds of the ship are unnerving and extremely well done.

Outstanding work!

thats really amazing!

fantastic Animation... feeling real event

Dude this is awesome Keep it up

Awesome!

Omg fantastic work

Fantastic you've done a great job

This is amazing!

Wow, your animation about the Lusitania is absolutely genius!

amazing work

Nice. Thanx for mentioning. Love the animation and render! Too bad you didn't show the Bridge or Veranda Cafe. I put so much effort modeling them. Maybe in some future video?

Great work🎉

Amazing video!

Very realistic looking, truly excellent.. I got the impression that the Lusitania was able to travel a greater distance from where the torpedo hit it than did the Titanic from the point where it hit the iceberg, Perhaps this and the severe starboard list explain why relatively few of the lifeboats were successfully floated.

The fact that out of 48 lifeboats only 6 were launch successfully those were lifeboats 1,11,13,15 and 21 lifeboat 19 floated upside down after its failed launching

This is remarkable!
