Luckily I like both history and science, could you do a more in-depth look on the war of 1812? It seems to be a largely forgotten war even in American history.
@@quickshot4050 Thanks for asking! My city was burned down in the war of 1812, so I have alot of personal interest in the war. I will definitely do it!
L for the passengers
Your talking math
They would have passed out well before 500 feet they would probably passed out around 250 if they were still able to breath do to Nitrogen Narcosis. The gas compressing in the compartment would have put greater volumes of nitrogen in their blood stream and they would have e become very drunk very fast so they probably wouldn’t know what happen to them because they would have slipped into a drunken black out
getting trapped in absolute darkness and water as the ship descends is pure horror.
While also slowly drowning and getting crushed
Narley
Hopefully they didnt feel getting crushed
@@Mookiebettslovesdisneyland Sadly they probably did
For 30 seconds.
I'm sure it felt like an hour for those sinking, but overall it's not as bad as it could have been. Your brain is pretty delicate, and the concept of "pain" only really applies to the conscious mind, so they likely passed out very quickly and didn't experience the full pain of implosion.
I love how you constantly show the scale. It really helps you visualise everything.
It helps 5% of the world's population, and means diddly-freaking-squat to the other 95%.
@@Chris.Davies just your opinion, just yours. Ho hum, hither and yawn.😴
The bow probably would have been completely filled by the time of the final plunge so nobody alive would have had to experience being trapped there for hours on end until the bow imploded. Plus, most of the 1500 victims died by hypothermia, not drowning or being trapped in the ship.
@@roberthuot7887 what
Great now do it in banana scale
Imagine swimming in ice-cold water knowing it goes down into complete darkness two and a half miles below you.
Thalassophobia man...
The other issue is that being exposed to, and immersed in, such extreme cold means you could be potentially left paralysed in shock. This could and likely would also affect your breathing.
You can die that way too. And many did. This explains many of the floating dead bodies that were discovered, while many others would have been sucked down by the whirlpool effect created as the rest of the ship began its final descent.
What’s worse is most of the people back then wouldn’t have been educated on any of this stuff so it goes into the fear of the unknown aswell they knew the water would be cold but not that cold they didn’t know the lights would go out or even if there would be sharks around that would eat them even tho there r no killer sharks in the Atlantic but they wouldn’t have known they prob still believed in megladons and krakens anol back then
I doubt they knew how deep it was but still, absolutely horrifying.
No I don't think i will imagine
As sad as it sounds, I'm glad it was only around 20 seconds. I always thought it was much longer. Thanks for the vid.
You're welcome
Unfortunately, those 20 seconds probably felt like 20 hours.
Time slows down when someone if freaking out so it probably felt like five minutes.
The total was almost 3 hours actually.
@@DrivenA111how?
It’s terrifying to think being stuck inside in the dark.
Very true. Cool name, by the way!

@Van Halen
Who are you talking to?
Hearing the screams and yelling from the passengers who died while on the ship was went dark was horrific. It was a hopeless situation for everyone unless you could secure a place on the few lifeboats they had.
How did you hear any screams were you there there’s not video or audio of the titanic crash
@@geezycity7558 There was no video or audio of the crash. But one can envision what it must of been like. No one will ever know what agony those passengers went through that night except to make a presumption of what they could of went through.
@@zerimar26 your comment makes it seem like you heard the screams personally maybe reword it
@@geezycity7558Rubbish. Its an easy assumption to make and foolish to ask if anyone "was there".
my man not only came back from the dead but actually timetravelled!
Those poor people. ...After all these years...It is still so sad...A very horrible tragedy.
They died
Spoiler alert!
First thing I thought when I saw the video too...
Well what else woulda happened
No way dude
Yes they all died, literally.
Fun fact: the only Japanese person to survive the titanic was called a coward for not dying with rest of the people
By whom?
@@raumshen9298 the whole 🇯🇵 country! He was disgraced by everyone and even after he died his living family had to write a letter to the country to apologize for his actions for not dying with everyone else on titanic
@@LuizR1913 thank you,, that's kinda extreme, I guess the Japanese had become 'extremists'
And the defeat in WW2 gave their culture the much needed course correction,
that's my guess,
I know little about Japan except for reading war time stories, there too I remember few of them literally wanted everyone one to die fighting for Japan
This kinda made me angry ngl :)
What is japanese people obsession with dying
I was a freediver for quite a long time and I can tell that after 50 seconds inside a cabin or confined space, nobody would worry about pressure or freezing darkness after inhaling and get choked by sea water. In just a few seconds comes total unconsciousness no matter what pressure does to human bodies. Nevertheless, in a shipwreck those who swim away have always the best chance, and - in mi opinion - you better die from hypothermia than drowned inside a cabin.
I think that the worst occurs when victims of a developing accident, became aware of the inevitable.
@alagira, So here is the answer all are looking for. Thanks and take care.
But if you drank two bottles of wiskey or rum than you would be not die with hypothermia for a long time, one of the survivor in Titanic told that he drank 2 wiskey when he was in water 💦 that's why all the peoples were died but he was still alive
@@shrishsingh9791 It's debatable. Alcohol causes your blood vessels to dilate making your core body warm your appendages eaiser but you will have a higher chance of suffering hypothermia since your core body tempt may drop as a result.
@@FunkyPandaHD but the survivor himself said he was alive, yeah might be it's debatable
You'd prefer to die of hypothermia rather than the relatively quick 50 second death you detailed? What have you based that decision on?
I remember watching another video about the fate of the passengers of the titanic, and they also mentioned the bone dissolving away to nothing. However they also expanded on that to say that was why they found shoes littered all over the site, these were final resting place of many people and all that was left was their shoes. So sad...
Better remember to die with my Yeezys on I guesd
Yes, shoes lying in place as if laid out with where the body landed.
People that are not from the US: hmm 500 feet very interesting but what is it thou
about halfway to 1000 ft
1 foot = ~ .3 meters
By the powers of Google and extrapolation, 500 feet = 152.4 meters.
Could be worse, like comparing square of something to Texas state square or american football field.
It is a fact that people from around the world need to learn to convert Imperial Units to Metric ones and vice-versa just bcuz of the US..
@@aelardiz It is not just the US. Myanmar and Liberia us it as well but yeah it is stupid that the world has to learn a different and complicated system that only 350 million people use compared to 7 billion.
6:51. Ralph Bradshaw White was a good friend of mine. He blessed me with a few souvenirs from his world travels. When the IMAX movie Titanica came out, I hoped to see his name in the credits. I was blown away seeing his face on a 70’ screen as the opening narrator!
When I learned of his passing in 2008 I was devastated for several days. RIP, my friend…
That's so cool!!! Sad to hear he's passed on. 😔
This was so traumatic for all who experienced this. Those who went down with the ship hopefully did not consciously feel pain but just drifted off. At least I hope so. So very sad.
You imagine being out in the cold, DARK ocean at 2:21 am, and the ship goes thru such a nightmare situation!?!?!?
To summarize, they died.
The absolute worst would be if you were a family member either knowing or watching your children were drowning and you couldn't do anything about it
I was a young girl when the Barbara Stanwyck version of Titanic was broadcast on television. My father explained to me that it was a true story. In my naivete, I asked why the ship couldn't have had divers go down to retrieve items and remains. My father lovingly and patiently explained the depth and the pressures. Fast forward about 3 decades or so and...meet Robert Ballard. Then, along came James Cameron. Now you explain the part that has been avoided until now. Even with all the explication, I still feel the same sadness I felt as a young girl, knowing all those people died because of the arrogance and hubris of a few men. Its comforting to know that they didn't suffer too long.
*It's. I hate auto correct.
2 years on from your comment we now have the Submersible disaster.Your Father sounds kind explaining that to you ,by the way.
And now more death due to the arrogance and hubris of another man...going down to look at Titanic in the Titan.
Did you feel the same sadness for the hundreds of other ships which lay at the bottom of the oceans of the world? 🤡🙄🥱
@@Chimp981 I imagine she did.. She is obviously a caring person. This comment seems less caring. 🙄
this is the best science video i've seen yet on youtube. my god, you are a good teacher! the explanations, the visuals ... i was with you every step of the way. and scientific concepts are sometimes tricky for me to follow along with, in real time. this was incredible, and i'm happy to hear that you have a history channel too. subscribing to both. thanks for doing this!
If you were trapped inside an air pocket the air would be compressed to the same pressure of the surrounding water, therefore you would be able to breathe as normal. However after about 500 feet HPNS begins to set in. This probability wouldn't bother you much as you'd be under the effects of extreme nitrogen narcosis starting at 80 to 120 feet for most people and by 300 feet (unless you're Sheck Exley) you'd be completely unaware of your surroundings.
I've nearly drowned and I've nearly died of hypothermia, which is not as bad as you think. Painful, yes, but tolerable and not long and then euphoria. Nearly drowning, however, was horrific.
What happened? How did it feel? If you don’t want to share that’s ok.
You had a near death experience which means you would have a story to tell. Did you see any light at the end of the tunnel?
Also pls explain the "not long then euphoria part"?
Glad your safe and lived .scarey I suppose are the memories you will never forget ❤
Naw man drowning is one of the top 5 painful ways to die.
I nearly drowned in Miami back in 2003. I was fighting frantically against the tide that kept pulling me out toward the ocean without alerting anybody. It was horrific because I was certain I was going to drown at first before the tide subsided enough for me to power my way to shallower waters.
So we can imagine what happened to the people in the sub
Yeah but there's a huge difference. The titanic started from the surface and descended through the progression of atmospheric pressure which is why it took about 15-20 seconds for the passengers to die.
The Titan Submersible on Sunday imploded when it was already in an extremely high atmosphere of pressure. So those 5 passengers died in literally a millisecond. Not 15-20 seconds lol
Imagine being trapped down in steerage and all of a sudden hear the horrific sound of the ship breaking apart. 🤦🏽♂️😭
@Frogsquatch 2.0 yeah but some people never made it out of third class
That diagram that compares the Titanic to how deep it sank is terrifying.
Ah but you see they would’ve been fine if they took their essential oils, hydrogen peroxide and magnet therapy
black salve prevents hypothermia you know
are you anti vax
Mankind is not ready for that level of power.
And their covid shot.
@@rudert56 and they would have been fine if they were just wearing masks too!
Love how you drew a line to Nova Scotia and said Newfoundland.
The map shown didn't even appear to have Newfoundland on it lol
Ireland was missing too!
@@tracywild5258 we live in a world of our own lol 😆
As a Newfoundlander, this is sometimes common lol
That's American "educators" for you
This is EXACTLY the video I wanted to see. Thank you!
This was very interesting and well made.
While I haven't been very active in seeking out this information, I have been curious and I'm suprised it's taken this long for to finally have a clear / concise answer.
Well done and thank you!
Thanks to the recent Oceangate disaster, I've come to realise how hostile the deep ocean is. No wonder we know more about space
Space is hostile too and we don’t know much more about space than the deep ocean
Thank you for this compelling and clearly-explained information! 👏🏻 I had no idea that gas is the only substance that can be compressed by water pressure, appreciate the ‘dumbing- down’ 😆
Thanks for answering the question that I couldn't find elsewhere. My thoughts were that someone who is trapped in the middle of the titanic had enough pocket of air to go all the way down and possible live for another minute or so. But apparently the pressure cancels all of that
This isn't depressing at all, promise.
A friend of mine also did a Trans-Atlantic crossing on the QEII in 2002. They did an onboard announcement and blew the ship's horn when passing in the general vicinity of the wreck site.
They did that on a Cunard ship too, announced they were passing the Titanic on the way to New York from Southampton, Uk.
@@angelkotilainen
Do they still lay wreaths at the site?
CZcams has a dark side with its algorythm.. Submarine that wanted to look for the Titanic has gone missing and YT recommends this video 💀
Well, now you know what happened if the sub imploded
@@darkscienceytit did
Man this video really gives me a sinking feeling........
Amazing video 😃 answered alot of questions I had and more! Xx
I would have much rather jumped into the sea and died from hypothermia on the surface than ride that ship into the darkness and depths of the ocean.
Not sure after watching this. Twenty seconds on the ship, maybe twelve minutes on the surface.
Yeah. It was a rough couple of hours and the choices were limited.
I think it would have been less suffering if you were inside the ship. It says you will black out in few seconds and anything after that you will no feel. And dying from hypothermia will take a lot of suffering and time.
Well the fact is, both deaths take you to the bottom of the ocean. Sinking with the ship is scarier, but much more faster. And freezing to death is so much slower and so much more agonizing.
I don't know. I would probably prefer dying on the ship than dying Jack style.
Nah he just said they would've been unconscious in 20-30 seconds inside the ship...That's about as much mercy as you can get in a situation like this.
Why are these underwater videos getting recommended to me since that submarine incident all the sudden from years ago?
Not only did the Titanic sink, but sadly, the Republic of Ireland too, according to that map.
Obviously the map maker failed to spot the Eire! That's what happens when you're not Dublin your efforts!
@@sanchoodell6789 The residents of Monaghan town still remember the day Titanic left for New York (as evidenced on the map) :p
Actually, just to be pedantic, it wasn't a republic in 1912 :-)
@@ianrivaldosmith Hahaha! Either way, I'm.sure the people of the 26 counties weren't happy to have been sank underwater! (Nb; I enjoyed this video fully - i just found this funny).
Who else is here because of the ocean gate sub
You know lots of people are watching Titanic!
Just come across your channel ironically under a video of the recent tragedy 😔. I'm glad i did though as this has to be one of the best video's recording this kind of information of the titanic sinking .your narration is great 👍 👌 and I've liked and subscribed straight away. Watched a hell of alot of video of that tragic night .read alot of books but your video has like i said one of the best .i love anything dark science so will be watching more of your uploads 😊thanks again .just heard at the end you have anthor channel .questions for history heading right there to find it now as that also interests me 👍sorry I've typed in questions for history but alot of channels are coming up .is there anyway you can put up a link
The mistake was thinking the ship as unsinkable and not taking enough life boats to it
And locking away the 3rd class passengers behind gates so they wouldn't "foul" the places where the 1st and 2nd class passengers were.
@@janetstreet7264 No passengers were "locked away" and the 1997 movie was a movie, not a documentary...
Except that even the part about "not enough lifeboats" isn't technically accurate
Thank you! I really enjoyed this! Very informative
It had to be pure horror as the Titanic sunk and those trapped in darkness and water. Seeing the scale really helped me to visualize what happened that evening
*Doesn’t mention the freezing air and water temperatures or the suction effect and what happened to the people on the surface*
The heat barely would have had time to dissipate to the water by the time you were flattened, your brain would need far more time to interpret it than it took them to drop 500 feet through water, all while being quickly crushed to death. I too thought he had glossed over it before realizing it barely would have made an impact in that time.
The people on the surface, on the other hand, floated there slowly freezing until they could no longer tread water, whereby they sank and slowly drowned. A much worse fate than implosion, if you ask me.
i understood the title "what happened to the people on the titanic?" as what happened to the people still left on the boat when it sank.
It’s simple, most people in the water died by hypothermia, only a lucky few survived and were rescued by boats. Like in the 1997 movie.
@@SaturninePlaces Yeah, I think if you'd had a choice it would have been better to have been onboard and go down with the ship vs treading water until you froze to death.
Considering what just happened recently, this video is very insightful, thanks
I was looking for someone to comment on this. They’re still investigating the remains of the Titan. At least from what I last heard this morning
Great video I’ve always wanted to know information. Thanks for sharing.
I think it could be cool if you made a video on one topic on each of the channels, a video about the history and a video about the science of it
Who else is here after the Titan disaster?

I started looking into both disasters a bit, and now CZcams is constantly recommending videos to me...
The algorithm found me

Congratulations my friend you have just earned your self a subscription
I remember Bob Ballard saying it would have been like a shower of bodies raining down to the ocean bed.
He talks of shoes being everywhere in the debris field.
This is really interesting! At least they blacked out before death.
Well done. Interesting presented. Nice voice. Good job!
Thank you this answered all my questions
Great video! Question, what would happen to the bodies trapped deep inside the ship? Would not the decay have been slower? There were still recognizable human remains when they brought the C.S.A. Hunley to the surface, well over 150 years later. I know it was in silt, in a shallower depth, but the remains were intact. I read that one reason the remains from the Hunley survived is due to lack of oxygen. Wouldn't that apply to two miles beneath the surface, where Titanic is? Also, the temperature at the Titanic's depth is much colder than that of the study on the pigs.
I would think those bodies would've somehow imploded with the amount of pressure possibly?
Oh dear. Spooky history time
Awesome. Am signing up for Questions for History at once.
That was fascinating. I learned something new. Thanks.
✅ Excellent explanation, and graphics! Nice and simple and easy to understand. How long did the passengers’ clothing last? It seems to me that I saw a picture of a guy’s boot laying in the sand when they discovered the Titanic. I would have thought that leather would’ve disintegrated too. We know how many people were on board the Titanic, and how many survived but how many bodies were later recovered floating on the surface? Also, when the stern was fully upright as it was sinking, what was its maximum height? Was it 10 or 20 stories high sticking out of the water before it sank? Thanks for doing this and other videos.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting video
Glad you enjoyed it
great video!
Many, many of these people were killed instantly by the steel, iron, other parts of the ship, and furnishings that were falling and being violently thrown about (including one massive funnel) and by the fact that their own bodies were flung helter skelter, especially those on the stern who fell/slid rapidly across the very long deck. My bet is that many were unconscious or dead before this descent even occurred. Had there been a chance to do autopsies, it's my guess that most of those who went down with the ship would have evidenced fatal injuries rather than drowning or hypothermia (the latter being more applicable to those who jumped or fell into the sea).
The first 2 reported deaths on Titanic were 2 crewmen. One of them broke their leg in a boiler room, and couldn't get out when the boiler room suddenly flooded later on. The other was a fellow crewmen who tried to save him but got trapped too.
This is the video I've been looking for, because I've always wondered if some passengers were still alive when the ship hit the sea bed.
Thanks for explaining 👊
Who’s here after the submarine tragedy in 2023?
Got this randomly in my recommendation
Very good explanation of the HMS TITANIC.
IT must have been awful for the passengers and staff and crew .
So many deaths .I feel that no more attempts to find out or send submersible s down they should leave the disaster in the past and the passengers graves alone if their is any remains left .
Wow. This is very informative.

I wonder if the live lobsters in the tanks in the galley made it out. Like, "Hey! We're free! Let's go boys."
lolllll
No. Lobsters can't survive in that temperature.
@@johnzkeePW Juvenile and adult lobsters have been reported in waters with temperatures ranging from 0-25°C and with salinities ranging from 15-32 ppt, but temperatures from 15-18°C and salinities of 20-25 ppt are preferred." The water temperature around RMS Titanic Wreck Site changes extremely during the year. The temperature ranges from 7.5°C (45.6°F) in February up to 21.8°C (71.3°F) in the month of October. You joke killing douche.
But if there were any live ones, I'm sure they couldn't survive at the massive depth pressure. Let's not over analyze my silly remark.
To cold for them !

So interesting and even more so after the tragic Titan disaster. Thank you

I wonder how many people were still on the bow end of the ship when it sank. I would think most people still onboard would have migrated to the stern as it was sinking, unless they had no way to get there.
