Sources are in the description. For those curious as to why there are 2 versions of Joughin's story, its because most people don't want to recognize that he changed his story several times depending on who he was giving it to.

I think what the survivors saw in that night was terrifying has hell.

I met two brother and sister survivors back in 2000. They were young children at the time. The sister was about 8 or 9 she said. Her strongest memories were the flares going up and the horrible screams as the ship broke in two. Her brother was only 3 at the time and didnt remember much at all. She was adament the ship snapped in half and remembered her mother gasping and saying "Oh, dear God!" And clutching them both to her. Meeting those siblings, both in their 90's then but still very lucid although in wheelchairs, was a meeting and conversation ill never forget.

So many of the accounts put a strong emphasis on the breakup, it's hard to believe it wasn't believed for so many years.

every sight was terrifying but for those who were pretty close... jesus... imagine seeing that gigantic thing right before your eyes sinking in that pitch black horizon. goosebumps.

i once heard an eyewitness testimony of the ship sinking and what sound the ship made as it sunk to the bottom of the ocean. imagine a crushing/compression sound a mile below your feet dangling in the freezing water. imagine it sounding like an enormous beast hiding deep in the ocean. eerie. Edit: in case it wasn't clear: as the ship was sinking to the floor, they could hear it implode.

One of the second class passengers who managed to survive, said Titanic served the most delicious biscuits he's ever known.

This was that generation's 9/11. Only the victims and survivors could witness it without TV, but for the survivors, in the lifeboats watching it go down, is just like the people who escaped the Trade Center just in time before they collapsed.

“I didn’t watch as she went down. I had my back to the ship. I was rowing the entire time.” “You didn’t watch her go down?” “No, I’m glad I did not.” J. Bruce Ismay(Collapsible C)

Hearing my voice in a different video makes me so happy X3

It's fascinating to me how every individual who witnessed the sinking saw it so differently. Thank you for this awesome video and the work you put into it!

last few days i've fallen into a Titanic video binge and came upon new knowledge of the event. I last had a Titanic binge a few years ago and didn't come across this channel then. I seem to go through these Titanic phases every few years and i learn more and more about it. This time around i even went into some research into her sister ships and of other ocean liner tragedies of the time before and during WW1

This is what fascinates me the most, the actual fact that we will NEVER know (unless we invent a time machine) what exactly happened. There are no records, no photos, it was dark, the various accounts differ a lot one to another... for 73 years we didn't even know if she broke or not. I believe that recent theories can be reliable, we can say how it happened more or less, we can simulate the sinking how many times we want with all the models available, but we will never know for sure what happened that fateful night.

This is fascinating, eerie, frightening and mindboggling. I live in Florida and I've been out in the ocean a couple miles from shore and when you turn out the lights on the boat and it is pitch black even if you can see the lights from land on the horizon. That is freaky enough, I just can't even begin to imagine this in in the middle of the Atlantic in freezing water.

I like the way you put us in a lifeboat. It's 15 degrees here right now 10 below wind chill. It's like I am there.

Given the darkness and the placement of some of the boats, you can totally see how some people wouldn't have realized the ship broke in half, depending on their perspective.

I love all these "Survivors what the saw" videos. This one is so far my favorite, and has got to be the most powerful, with testimony of survivors like Charles Joughin and Thomas Dillon who were not in lifeboats but were on board the ship and in the water during Titanic's final moments. That was always a point of view of the ship's last moments I was wondering about, what it was like for those still trapped on board.

The baker sinking animation is so weird, he had to be drunk...

This is the most chilling recreation I've seen. The final plunge is absolutely frigid.

People should give more credit to the survivors account, a lot of them said the ship broke in two, but the experts back then didn't believe. Now the modern experts say it would be impossible for the ship to rise to such a high angle and don't show the stern going under almost vertical like the survivors said it did. Yeah, I'll stick to what the people who there said.

Both of my great grandparents were saved in lifeboat no.7. They were traveling in First Class, returning from their European honeymoon.

Several of the eyewitness describe the ship rotating around from them. I'm thinking this would have been the moment the ship broke in two and the suction of the bow sinking would cause the stern part to rotate to the right just a bit as it sank.

So many different accounts but ask anybody after a motor vehicle accident and you'll get many different perspectives. Traumatised is an understatement.

19:25 this is the most chilling description of the Titanic’s sinking I’ve ever seen

Man… jumping off the back and just missing the propellers must have wild. An insane story unique among other insane stories.

“It was horrible. But at the same time, in one way that I’m not able to explain, a wonderful, dramatic act.” August Wennerstrom

Half of the people said she went down whole, the other half said she broke up and went down in 2 pieces. Clearly the people who said she broke up got it right based on video footage of the Titanic

"The sign said keep clear of propeller blades" James Cameron: guy hitting propeller blade and back flipping into water

Can you just imagine what an incredible sight that was to see?! Terrifying but still incredible

I really prefer your animation because you truly take eyewitness accounts into account. Very good!

Well done! Really gives you an understanding of why the survivors accounts were different. Seeing the animations with the testimony.. these are my favorite titanic videos on KZfaq. Great work again!! And thank you for these videos you do!

The fact that so many witnesses claimed it went under quietly with very little noise, suction, or wash...would seem to support the idea that the bow stayed attached by the keel for a time and dragged the stern under....still full of air

This is so heart breaking😭💔

One can nitpick over a few issues but this recreation is hauntingly evocative......the background music is particularly well chosen and couldn’t be bettered imho! Subscribed.....

This is spine chilling. Titanic fan myself and from Belfast.

It DOES feel odd hearing my voice clearly... in most of my videos on my channel you do not hear it clearly... anyways, another great video!

There's something about Lightoller's testimony that seems of a "hold the company line" and "stick to the story we agreed upon" nature about it. Sorry for being cynical, but I get that vibe from him and Boxhall, another officer on Titanic.

The break happened mostly under the water line, which explains why people had numerous explanations for the explosion sound they heard, like the boilers exploding / breaking loose. Only those who had a clear line of sight saw that the ship actually broke in two.

I tell you what: If they ever develop a time machine to go back and view events in history, a LOT of people are going to go and want to view this... and the fears that they will experience would be ghastly.

Awesome work, thanks for putting that together!

Very well done! Its great to see the sinking from the actual survibors perspective.

If you ever need any more voice actors let me know, I can do decent English and Irish accents Keep up the great work

Outstanding, as always

Ty for this video!

Enjoyed this. Thank you.

The animation and accounts are amazing but it so heartbreaking.

Some says they jumped from the stern, how did they survived a 100ft fall?

Love these vids!

Ufff, emotional! Thanks

Super cool videos! Thank YOu.

I am a bit confused. Some of the animations, or some parts of the animations, seem to bear no resemplance to what the voice is describing.

Very nicely done !!!

What’s fascinating is that most people said that there was no suction or noise, which is very odd for a behemoth of steel and wood plunging into the water.

Strange how some people saw it break in half and some claim to have seen it go down whole.

Absolutely brilliant work... Thanks so much for creating this series... All I can say... is, too bad you didn't use me to do some of the voices... HA! But, seriously... thanks...

I can’t watch the movie again it makes me cry

Actually I believe there’s too much light to spot the ship, there’s no reason to see it so clearly, seeing colors like the white parts could only be possible with moonlight. If you wanna make something really similar you should include the lights of the ship while they were on.

Sounds like Charles Joughlin was a bit of a storyteller.

23.00 seems to be incorrect, because Jack Thayer was one of these survivors, who stated that the ship broke in two.

The survivors probably had nightmares about it for the rest of their lives.

Hello please explain this to me. The most survivors mentioned the breaking said I happened at the #2 and the #3 tunnel, not the #3 and between the #4 tunnel. Why?

What song is playing as the background music? Would love to purchase it

I think it comes down to several things. The passengers who were further away may not have seen the breakup as clearly. Add to that when the lights went out and the darkness overtook the clear vision of scared people (both in and out of the lifeboats.) I think that the best witnesses were those who had more composure (if you had any that night). Since based on all these stories, the ones that seem most accurate were the ones closest to the ship and were able to see it and the breakup clearly. I don’t know what Lightholler saw, but I think he just glanced over the breakup, or maybe hinted at it when he claimed that boilers and engine parts were falling loose within. Regardless this is great showing what they saw even if the style of sinking is a bit different.

Crazy how Frank prentice fell off from that height and was able to swim to lifeboat 4! I had no idea such survivors existed. I wish more people in the water made it to boats

hearing those noises when the titanic must have been scary as fuck that night when it broke into two and scary as hell as well not just the ship hitting the iceberg but also hearing all those poor passangers yelling and screaming for help to get out of that freezing water it must have hurt a lot being in that freezing cool water someone once told me sharks swim in the atlantic ocean but I do not know if that's true or false but god damn I once dreamed I was on the titanic and in my dream I saw the ship hit that iceberg I woke up that sweating and hot when I got up I took a shower but man everytime I tghink of moments in history I always remember the battle of Gettysburg the battle of sharpsburg and of course the titanic sinking and the landing on ohmaha beach during ww2 and no mans land during ww1

My grandmother was on titanic she was 17 when it went down. She was only a couple of yards away when it snapped. When she saw the movie she said that snap was nothing like it actually was

Brilliant

Awesome

Oh my god😢😢😢😢

The music and very calm tone of the voices makes it feel like a relaxing (maybe even fun) event.

1:52 I'm surprised they can see that far and can tell almost exactly what the ship is doing with the stars being their only light sourceXD

Wow.. there's so many Titanic sinking videos out there, this is by far the most interesting and informative. I'm bookmarking this series so I can watch the whole thing. Thank you for this! 💯

It sounds alot like as the bow went down and raised stern the ship pivoted some until the point it broke. Bobbing sort of like a half full object would in water until it sheared. I am willing to bet the direction in which it was rotating was also in relation to the side of the ship that was peeled back. As the bow went down it probably started to twist and the already weakened double bottom ripped at the bent seams much like the trick where you tear a telephone book im half. Beings it was dark they probablu could not see the fact that the whole side of the stern of the ship was literally deskinned along about a 160 foot section. If they go look at the stern they will probably see what amounts to rivets popping all along that seam. It is the only explanation as to why that large section was ripped from the side of the ship. The pure descent of the stern would not be enough to cause that kimd of damage let alone the force in which the stern slammed into the ocean bottom. It would also make sense as to why the stern rapidly sunk with almost no real sound or suction. By tearing off such a large skin section the stern would rapidly fill with water.

Good video but the ads really were to frequent. Please just stick to one double at the start and one double at the end. Many thanks.

"Got some rare things on sale, stranger!"

By the witness accounts I'm starting to modify my own theory and think Cameron was wrong to some degree. If some of the witnesses didnt miss the stern rising up the second time then more people say it pivoted and sank slowly with no suction. This would likely be due to the bow still roughly attached until the stern sank far enough under. Under the water the bow still has that angle so as it continues pulling down at an angle it twists the stern around. It had to still be pulling from below the surface until it finally gave way.

I want this music haha

These differ so much, I'm so confused!

So scary!

The music overwhelms the dialogue

Come to think of it I would have saved as many lives as I could and gone down with this beautiful ship. I don’t think I could handle living with these memories it would be better gone💙🩷💜❤️

I have a copy of the book " The "Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters " edited by Logan Marshall copy right 1912. On page 200 of this book , the following is stated by Mr. Jack Thayer ," I saw the ship in a sort of red glare , and it seemed to me that she broke in two just in front of the third funnel. " Mr Thayer's statement accurately describes the condition of the wreck when found by Dr. Robert Ballard. Mr Thayer also added pictures of what he saw that night on page 201 . There are six drawings of his views of what happened that night .

George Rowe said tat the after part came to the surface again after once being covered in water. 1:36 So wait... did the bow come up out of the water when he ship cracked because I find that hard to believe because it kinda breaks the laws of physics.... anyone know what this means?

They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let em sink.

The fact that there was no suction actually doesn't point to there being water inside the stern, it's because the stern was sealed enough to not be pulling in a massive quantity of water, which aligns with the fact that most of it imploded on the way down...

We’re most of these testimonies under oath at the inquiries or from survivors’ books and/or media interviews? To me that matters quite a bit for obvious reasons.

I'm 50 seconds in and it seem like titanic is illuminated by some light. Given there was no moon that night, would they really have seen titanic this clearly? Would stars light really be this strong? Or perhaps this is only to improve our viewing experience at the expense of being faithful to what they saw?

I truly can’t imagine what the survivors had to witness and go thru that night 😔 Just watching these videos and trying to picture myself that April 14th/15th night scares me. Being on a humongous state of the art ship only to find yourself in the water fighting for you life just 2hrs later is frightening asf .

If someone said if i would go on the titanic i would say oh god no pls no no noooo!!!

You should animate it the same way every time

Sad part is all throughout history all the changes for the better that occur because people had to sacrifice their lives.

Sure is a lot of conflicting information there.

Some of the images bear no resemblance whatever to the texts being read.

18:27 There must’ve been an explosion but we heard none I suppose I was 150 feet from titanic on her nose with the After part sticking straight up in the air it began to settle slowly at last the at last the waves washed over her Rutter there wasn’t the least bit of suction I could feel she must’ve kept going just as slowly as she had been -Harold bride boat b

Just a still sound I'm going to check the weather on that day I bet it was very still just silent stillness smh

10:07 a pair of what?

Biggest man made object in the world at the time, sank in a few hours on her maiden voyage...what were the chances

if only they had cellphones

Titanic was 4 city blocks in length kinda looks small

this is a cool concept, but you should probably redo this video with realistic lighting effects.
