2 жыл бұрын

110 years ago! The Last Seven Survivors tell their amazing stories of how they escaped death. At 2 o'clock in the morning on April 15, 1912 the "The Unsinkable Titanic" sunk. All have since passed away, so you are hearing and seeing them together for the last time.
The Titanic - the British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden
voyage from Southampton, England to New Your City.
1,514 people that drowned in the deadliest peacetime maritime disaster in history. Her passengers included some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as over one thousand immigrants from Great Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, and elsewhere seeking a new life in America.
For education, entertainment, enlightenment and inspiration. We hope you enjoy and even learn something. Never forget!

The woman in red at 24 minutes, imagine her surprise 2 years later when the wreckage was discovered after all that time. She'd been told for 65 years that the ship did not break in half during the sinking, even though she'd heard explosions; cracking. She convinced herself it was the boiler because hardly anyone believed the ship had broken in half. I have this theory that since mostly women were saved because of the chivalry of the captain, when they said they believed the ship had broken they were seen as hysterical and panicked because of the tense situation, and no one believed their stories. Until the shipwreck was found in 1985. Sadly most of the survivors had passed on by then...

The industrial rise and they did things nobody did before, much experimental things. they dont had computers with simulations. they did something it worked and they said "lets see what happening". or we "think" it "could" be but...... and because of all tragedies like this we have today a good safety standard. so nobody of them died for nothing. their deaths saved a lot of people in the future. i wish i can take a view of captain smiths mind when he realized the titanic will sink and their arent enough life boats. he decided to take the same fate like the mots passengers are. today we have tragedies like costa concordia and the captain is one of the first people who leaves the ship. so boring.

If folks think the Titanic was bad, an even more horrible sinking was that of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff in January 1945. The passenger liner was crammed full with more ~ 10, 600 people.: wounded soldiers, seamen, cadets, and especially thousands of civilians with lots of children, fleeing the oncoming revenge seeking Soviet Army . It was a very cold January night and the sea was rough. A Soviet submarine fired 3 torpedos into her. An estimated 9,600 people perished, the worst sea disaster of all times. It was not reported by the Allies, and still most people have never heard of it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/op-Dnbdq3sfRg3U.html

Thanks to my mother’s ‘hysterical intuition’, we didn’t board and drowned on the Free Herald of Enterprise. I really do admire her by not letting anyone talk her out of her refusal and giving zero F’s about ‘how she would come across’ in that cue for cars boarding the ferry. She just took us kids from the backseat and said to my dad ‘You can make a scene out of it by dragging it along refusing to come with us and me having to fetch alternative transport back home or you can come with us. My children are not going on that ferry’. Luckily my dad wasn’t the arguing or dominant type and just gave in, hoping to find a snackbar still open to get some Belgian fries.

Wow, what a documentary.. The gentleman's descriptions and remarks are amazing.. Also, the mother who felt that something bad was about to happen long before the voyage and that the arrogant statements about the ship were a blasphemy to God, gives me goosebumps.. Most of the passengers were brainwashed that the ship was literally unsinkable and didn't take the danger seriously.. First class passengers were prioritised and the rest were left to die cause it was too late for them.. When the crew got the iceberg warnings their reply was "Shut up, I'm busy".. They ignored all the warnings and wanted to break the speed record.. The lifeboats were not enough and the first boats left not fully filled.. OMG, all this tragedy could have been avoided if humans were more humble and wise... 😓

@freckles4603 Жыл бұрын

Ok as regards to the passengers being brainwashed the ship was literally unsinkable that’s very likely not true. The white star line never said it was unsinkable all they said was that they had made it as ‘unsinkable’ as they knew how to make a ship and that she was well built which was true. Some people probably said it was “unsinkable” but it was blown out of proportion after the sinking and it is incredibly unlikely if anyone really thought it was “unsinkable”.

A Night To Remember (1958) was the original movie about the Titanic and was a more accurate depiction of what happened. However, what many didn't know was that during the investigation about the tragedy, many of the survivors stated that the ship had broken in half as it sunk. Yet, the investigators declared that there was no physical evidence (at that time) to verify those statements. So their investigation declared that the ship sunk intact. It wasn't until the first discovery of the Titanic that it was confirmed it had split. It makes you wonder if there was some political and elite influence to ignore the testimonies and say the ship stayed intact. I'm sure it splitting in half would've raised other questions about the quality of materials and workmanship of the ship and drawn out litigation against White Star Line. We do know that the angle of the ship as it sank put the heaviest part of the ship in the air which exerted physical forces beyond any scenario that designers and builders could ever imagine. The limits of the ships design was clearly exceeded. I can only imagine those responsible for influencing the investigation were ever exposed would open a can of worms that would tarnish the legacy of their current generations.
