"I can remember the colours, the sounds, everything... The worst thing I can remember are the screams. It seemed as if once everybody had gone, drowned, finished, the whole world was standing still. There was nothing, just this deathly, terrible silence in the dark night with the stars." - Eva Hart
Did you know it was a moonless night
Heartbreaking
@@shaun9120 That's nice to know
@@sian8322 moonless or starless
@@adameaton4922 Moonless, it was a completely clear night, no moon very bright stars. Also perfect conditions for a cold water mirage.
The scariest part is that it was much, MUCH darker in real life. After the ships lights went out, it was practically impossible to see what was going on. That’s why they didn’t agree on whether she broke in half. All there was was defeaning noise, screams and the dark silhouette of the ship towering against a sky of tiny, glittering stars
Jesus 😢
Ooof. You really painted that picture there. What a way to go. Nightmare.
The people left on the ship itself must’ve had no idea how near they were in the water too (that was close to freezing mind you) and how fast the boat was sinking because of the pitch black darkness. They probably could have not make themselves ready for the plunge. There was also no moon that night.
@@achillesroblox Perhaps, but most people also did probably make it to the very end of the stern before it went down, and since the current theory is that the stern went almost vertical during the final plunge they probably knew what was about to happen… horrifying still more
@@maxonite like preparing quickly for your own death
"Imagine this but a giant sea monster comes up in front of you"
He predicted iron lung lol
The even more sad thing is that the captain didn’t order "women and children only", it was misinterpreted. The actual order was "women and children first" but because of the stress of the situation caused it to be misinterpreted
Also, there was a concern that the lifeboats would snap if lowered when completely full.
Ironically, the boats were built with a metal beam running the length of the keel to prevent exactly this. But the crew had so little training and experience with the lifeboats that they had no idea the metal beam existed.
This makes sense, I never understood why they wouldn't try to save as many people as possible.
damn i didnt know that
And, April 14th, they had actually planned to do a lifeboat drill, but was canceled by the captain allegedly due to wanting to deliver one last Sunday service before he retired. Whereas I am pretty sure he went down with it.
@@heatherm2388 Captain goes down with the ship because he feels responsible for the sinking of it since the captain holds responsibly for the ship itself and everyone on it.
That was Molly Brown you were sitting next to. She was a good woman, and tried to convince the captain of lifeboat 6 to go back to find survivors. She later used her affluence to raise money from the more wealthy survivors to help out the families of poor people who didn't survive. She was played by Kathy Bates in the movie.
The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
respect +100000000000000 for her
She sounded dumb in the game but she was actually being observant, it could have held like 40 more people :(
He wasn't a captain he was quartermaster Hitchens. He was the one at the helm of the Titanic when it hit the iceberg.
Molly Brown was an incredible woman. Even today, I look up to her. Truly a name that shall never be forgotten.
"LEONARDO DI'CAPRIO IS OVER THERE SOME WHERE WE NEED TO GO BACK" got me dead laughing.
One thing that wasn’t accounted for is how dark it actually was during the sinking. A moonless night in the middle of the sea, just imagine the terrifying moments after the lights went out, especially for those who are still on the boat. 😞
The sinking was also sped up in this experience. The sinking of the Titanic took over 3 hours. I can’t imagine how terrifying that must have been
@@astridmaack45162 hours 40 minutes from the time it struck the iceberg
@@jonathank2512 yeah, you’re right. My bad.
@@astridmaack4516 I would like to think a lot of lessons have been learned since. Even many airlines have cut corners to detriment in the earlier days
“That dog is WAY cuter than your baby. Just saying”
Jack definitely has the honesty of a child lol
It's usually true though lol
That why he got on a life boat
he was right tho
I scrolled to this right as he said it
They are like little drunks. No filter.
I remember going to the Titanic Museum in Orlando, Florida for the first time. You get issued a boarding card with the name of an actual passenger on the ship, along with some info about their lives, where they were travelling, who they were travelling with and which class they were travelling on. Then at the end of the tour through the museum you can find "your" name on a list with every passenger onboard and find out if "you" survived or not. It was really emotional.
We have the same museum in Ireland - little bit further from city Cork. With same boarding cards, info about them and list in the end :)
there's one in southampton too! i went when i was little i loved it
Woah…
Damn this sounds like a perfect recipe for making me cry in a museum
There’s one in Branson, Missouri, too!
It is quite scary to think how a GIANT ship like the titanic was just on the sea and moments later gets completely swallowed by the sea. The sea does not play around.
No its bacteria eating the ship
If it weren't for the eyewitness accounts and photos, it would be hard to believe that the great Titanic actually sunk so quickly. The Truth is that, due to the sinking of the Titanic, more attention was given to the dangers of large ships on the open sea and improvements were made to prevent such a disaster from happening again.
I don't think so. He's not that well-known.
The scariest part is that in reality it was much MUCH darker. The oceon in the middle of the night is pitch black. After the ship’s lights went out, you could practically see nothing, only the ships silhouette blocking out the stars behind. That’s why people weren’t sure whether the ship broke in half for a long time. It was just noise, screaming and the dark silhouette of the ship shifting in front of their eyes
@@Ranger-overit wasn’t quick. It took over 3 hours. I’d say that’s slow, which makes it way more scary
The story of the Carpathia, the ship first on the scene to rescue Titanic's passengers is amazing.
Moving at full speed to rescue Titanic's passengers, it nearly struck _multiple_ icebergs just trying to reach Titanic's last known location. By the time Carpathia made it, the sun was rising and Carpathia's Captain, Sir Arthur Henry Rostron noticed that they were utterly surrounded by icebergs and considered it a miracle they didn't suffer the same fate, which they almost did several times over. Rostron and his crew were praised and awarded for their bravery and valour in the rescue of Titanic's passengers and Rostron himself was knighted for this effort.
Its a well known fact that they didnt almost hit icebergs. Thats sensationalized. While yes, they did go full speed, when asking the captain directly in court if he almost his bergs he laughed and said "do you think i would put my crew at risk like that, what do you think of me".
@@spoons250Interesting, where is he recorded as saying this? The only thing I've found is this:
"Speaking of the risk taken by running through dense ice at speed at night, he is reported to have said, "I can only conclude another hand than mine was on the helm."
Sounds more like a man describing luck or destiny guiding his efforts rather than careful measures, though I'm sure he certainly took them, being a sensible man.
I wonder if any of the passengers were pissed off
If only someone told those five billionaires this game existed so they didn’t have to go down there themselves.
RIGHT
This has unfortunate youtube recommendation timing.
Literally what I was going to comment right now
@@Anticaat Bro, I even watched this Video back than and YT was like 'Here' just now xD
I just got recommended this video and I had to see who else was here. Damn near died laughing at CZcams and their algorithm.
The lady sitting next to Jack who he commented was calm, was actually a real person. She was considered new money and was one of the only people to say they should go back for survivors after the sinking. They saved more people due to her forcing her boat to go back, allowing few survivors from the water to be saved.
Damn, at first I thought she was being ignorant about the whole thing.
(Or the game forgot to animate her)
Your comment is a great fact. Thanks.
Wow, that’s really interesting
woah thats so cool, thanks for the fact!
I actually shouted "MOLLY!" when I saw her, she's so cool. Look her up, she was known as Molly 'the unsinkable' Brown, or just Molly Brown.
She was my favorite person showcased in the movie. I recognized her immediately when he looked over at her.
James Cameron did a LOT of research before making the movie. He added real people and their stories into the movie. That’s why he’s my favorite director! He even went down to see the ship at the bottom of the ocean!
I think Jack is sometimes forgetting that this is not just a game. The lifeboat he’s on, the people there including the “stowaway” man that was in there were true people. The arguments, the teenage boys being turned away, all of them are real.
Exactly and he wouldn’t shut up so we could hear them.
@@memphis6694 bro hes a CZcamsr and commentator, it just be like that
he even started literally tearing up at the end, idk what you want from him
@@memphis6694 This Is One Of Those: "If you don't like how he does it, go watch someone else" Complaining Gains nothing.
1) He Clearly Didn't Realize that
2) He's a CZcamsr, His Job is to talk. If he wanted to sit there silently and watch, He wouldn't have Recorded it.
@@pbague being a CZcamsr and commentator does not mean just talk at all times. I want him to understand when it’s an appropriate time to talk and when it’s better to let viewers also engage in the experience by listening and just watching the video.
I was surprised to see nobody mention Charles Joughin. He was a baker who gave bread to each life boat, threw about 50 chairs off the boat so people could stay afloat, got drunk, rode the Titanic down like an elevator (keeping his head above water), and survived. When he was rescued he only had swollen feet.
Fuckin’ mad lad lmaoo
Not to mention he was 30 when the titanic was sinking
I heard it was the alcohol that kept his body warm enough for rescuers to arrive
@@cooldog1635 I learned something today, drinking can save your life
@@cooldog1635 so if ship sinks I get drunk, got it
I’m a historian and I actually love that idea of creating VR games where you just experience big events in history. I think what would have made the game better was if it had the option to do it from different perspectives. Because an upper class woman’s experience on the titanic is vastly different from a lower class man’s and that would be cool to watch and be a part of. I think it could help teach not just history but historical empathy, something usually only taught at the college level.
I have to disagree. Every bit of knowledge I've seen from the Titanic's story shows a age where men were willing to give their lives in the preservation of women and their young. I don't think modern collegiate facilities or universities would want to highlight that in today's era.
I agree I think it would be very interesting to see the perspective of someone who was still on the ship as it sank because after people realized that there were no more life boats there had to be some sort of conflict of people who just simply want to live. That perspective intrigues me because we all know they boarded women and children onto the life boats but I haven’t heard the story of the people who had to stay on the ship as it sank
I agree, although being in the engine room would be a short game. that being said, I'd like to see every class of every age group and gender just to see the societal differences and actions/reactions that would/could have taken place. such a sad moment in history all around. on top of that, an amazing learning experience for the engineers and backers of Titanic.
@@drowningclown1027 don’t entirely get what you mean by that. But I meant highlighting the difference between lower class who were thrown into boxes with other families compared to upper class who had large lavish apartments on the titanic. Just being able to put yourself in their position. Part of my job as a historian is being able to put myself in the shoes of someone who lived a hundred, a thousand or more years ago and think and feel as they did. It’s how you create historical empathy and it is very hard to accurately and without it people have historical dissonance and inaccuracies. I think more VR like this could lessen that in the average joe. Also more games for Jack to play for me to laugh and procrastinate the research proposal I am supposed to be writing.
@@drowningclown1027 I feel like I'm missing a comment here. Are you disagreeing with the idea of having the game in different perspectives, or that the experiences would be vastly different? Also, I think all modern collegiate facilities or universities would want to stick to the truth of what happened, whatever that truth may have been.
A lot of people might not like the movie Titanic, but one thing they can't deny is how accurate James Cameron was in keeping with the original sinking and how exactly that was filmed.
Absolutely!!
Exactly. Mad props to him
He filmed it with the ship being light up brightly. The actual sinking happened in pitch dark.
@theresiakreutzer it wouldn't have been much of a movie if it was just pitch black for 2 hours
They got the sinking/break up wrong, but that was what was known at the time
one of the survivors that were in one of the life boats said, what was more terrifying than hearing the screams of the people in the water after the ship went under, was the silence that slowly followed.
This is was so emotional to watch. My family on my mom's side was supposed to come over to America on the Titanic but ended up having to wait longer because my great great grandma went into labor with my great grandpa almost a month early. They would have been in third class and definitely would have drowned with the ship. My mom still has their original boarding passes somewhere.
That's so wild... I'm obsessed with random events changing things, and how we're a result of that. Glad they weren't there and you're here :)
Wow... Your great grandfather saved their lives.
Omg this is similar to my moms side of the family as well. My great grandparents were supposed to get to the but my great grandfather took his time and made them both late on boarding the boat. They ended up on the next boat. My family would have been third class also.
Holy
That's crazy
As an archaeologist, there are so many people trying to create different virtual experiences such as these to help teach people about history since we cant send everyone to look at the titanic. I cant wait until one is created for Pompeii
That would be so cool to experience.
I think there was one made, but it was more of a time-lapse than a proper vr experience.
aye fellow archaeologist !!! I use to get so upset at the idea of the titanic disappearing gradually so i’m really glad stuff like this is getting created for historical events. I’d adore a pompeii one
yep hopefully so
Oh lord that would be terrifying
One of the most chilling accounts of a Titanic survivor I ever read was that immediately after the ship sank all the people in the water screaming for help sounded like a sports stadium full of fans.
A little known fact about the titanic is that it almost avoided the tragedy because of a narrowly avoided collision when it was leaving port. When its propellers started they were so massive and displaced so much water it caused a suction effect which pulled another ship towards it. They almost collided but a tugboat was able to stop it just in time. Had they collided it would have saved the lives of everyone on board the titanic as they would have had to return to port or assess and repair damages, in turn missing the iceberg. It’s crazy how fate seemed to have saved their trip when in reality it sealed it.
A lot of people don’t realize that while the ship did take 2+ hours to sink, most of the sinking action that you know about took place during the last 15 minutes that the ship was afloat. As soon as the bow went under, the sinking sped up dramatically. That’s why most were at first hesitant to believe the ship was in any real danger, because the ship felt almost perfectly level for the first hour and a half.
True, the engineering was brilliant because as long as she was level people could be evacuated to the boats. Now when they sink, they all dramatically list making it harder to evacuate, like the Costa Concordia
@@halo2dThe Titanic's method of sinking was almost unique. A lot of sinking ships (Lusitania) in that time period also eventually capsized. The theory why the Titanic sank evenly was because of the weight distribution of its vast amounts of coal. When the ship first departed there was a fire in its coal bunkers, requiring the coal to all be shifted to the other side of the ship. This made the ship sail at a slight angle through its entire journey, but also compensated for the weight of the water.
ya it was a logarithmic sink
@@demonqueen881 Thanks for that interesting fact! I hadn't heard that one.
Yeah and you'd feel safer in a big, warm ship, rather than in a rickety lifeboat
Thanks jack for saving me 250k dollars on that trip 💵
Bruv💀
i knew someone was here bc of that
😂😂😂😂😂
the comment i was looking for
and your life 💀
The foreshadowing with the submarine...First jacksepticeye video I've been recommended in a year...CZcams has great timing. Jack somehow managed to mess everything up in the lab.
Not really foreshadowing seeing as it wasn't the first sub down there. Funny how it's being recommended now though
Fun fact! The length of the movie is how long the actual ship took to sank.
Huh? Titanic took 2 hours and 40 minutes roughly to sink and the movie is 3 hours and 10 minutes roughly???
@@dogninja0180and who told you that? (This wasnt meant to sound rude) you don’t know if that’s true + the credits of the movie roll too
See guys, CZcams does have a sense of humor. This is the first Jacksepticeye video I've been recommend in 8 years, and it's a Titanic video.
Same lol
I got recommended on my home page and I watched it originally
Dude same

Comments like yours are always so idiotic
Millions of people search "Titanic" on CZcams > CZcams recommends videos related to the Titanic
That's exactly how recommendations are supposed to work, it's not humor, comedic timing, coincidences or whatever

And also his own life
what an interesting time for this to get recommended lol
i mean really not even remotly the same
Copy
$249,000* because vr costs money
The fact that this game can replicate something that is about 2.4 miles below the Atlantic is amazing. And as someone who is super into learning about the titanic, this game is super cool within itself
The “i cant! Its broken…” 😂😂😂 i just love his reactions
Jack: "How is your arse, Ellen?!"
Ellen: "Swollen."
There's a translate to English button that literally just changes arse to ass
And “how is” to “how’s”
@@CatastrophicGay I wouldn’t have understood otherwise.

@@CatastrophicGay Gets the point across better
The noise the ship must’ve made as it was going down & breaking in half must’ve been so eerie in real life!
Right?! Just an eerie groan from the metal as it slowly sank before loud cracking/screeching from it breaking apart to just silence (and just hearing all the people). It must of been so terrifying/heartbreaking to witness
@@AlphaWolfey1 ikr, but just imagine waking up from all those sounds and then you look down from your bed and you see the Water going up. That must be so terrifying. Hope the People that Died are in a Better place. Rest in peace.
@@Pvt.cumbust The most heartbreaking scene in “Titanic”, is when the Lower Class Mother is tucking her kids into bed, literally preparing them for death, as calmly as possible.. Being in the lower part of the ship + their Class, she knows they have no chance of getting through the gates & up onto the deck, so instead of running wild, panicking & scaring the children, she has to make the worst decision anyone could possibly imagine. They were on a nice vacation minutes before. Those final moments had to be horrifying, esp for the kids..
While not every survivor saw the ship break in two, they often mentioned sounds that were likely the ship breaking in two. It was given descriptions like a deafening roar, loud explosions, or a volley of musketry. Some survivors assumed it was the boilers exploding.
And then silence...I get goosebumps.
One of the facts I find most interesting and commendable is that the stokers and men in the boiler rooms kept working basically up until the last minute, working tirelessly to keep the lights on while the life boats were lowered. Also, it’s horrible how most life boats were only filled to 1/3rd to 1/2 capacity (only one was at capacity or higher) (capacity was 65 for most of the boats). Lastly, one of the collapsible life boats (40 capacity) flipped on its side when crew members and passengers kicked it off the roof, but a group of men were able to stand on its back in the water until they were rescued.
Reading youtube comments on titanic documentaries over time, I once came across a comment left by a guy who's neighbor used to know a titanic survivor. The survivor spent the rest of his life in America in 1 of the big cities in a northern midwest state, and had a LOT of trouble with not wanting to be around a local stadium; he said the roars of the crowd as they cheer on whatever football/baseball teams were playing sounded just like the screams of the people who were on the titanic as it was sinking 🥺😰 That day will never not be 1 of the most tragically horrible days in modern history.
Not so fun fact: The musicians of the ship played music until they went under. They played intending to calm the passengers, for as long as they possibly could, and all went down with the ship.
Crazy
Yeah, they were also awesome.
fuck yeah i remember that bit. and it got scarier and gloomier when they suddenly stopped (talking about some real time re-enactment of the sinking i saw on yt somewhere. uuugh if you wanna see full on 2:40h of desperation, go get some
@LegacyWolf And possibly played that tune because of the very near future that they saw for themselves..
@@lukegilbert5184 sad too because i herd about them
“Titanic was built in Ireland by the way.” Jack admits his country built the most famous sinking ship of all time.

Anyone who’s interested in the Titanic should definitely check out the Arctic sinking too. Although there were only 400 on board only 88 people survived - none of which were women or children. It’s honestly such a heartbreaking but interesting story.
The most emotional experience is the walk-through roadside attraction where you become one of the passengers and look at its many artifacts. To see a piece of the ship is just awe inspiring. And at the final end of the experience, you find your name and see if you were the survivor or perished and learn about the person you were.
If you all ever have that experience, please let us know!
As the lifeboat was being lowered, seeing that guys face in porthole absolutely broke me. Knowing that so many people were locked below decks and not considered important enough to be given a chance at life. Absolutely soul destroying.
Sorry but no one was actually locked below, that was created by the movie/ James Cameron, most likely just to add some drama and plot drive.
it makes my stomache turn. the worst part of the titanic to me has always been imagining what it would have been like to be in there and feel the water slowly rising and taking your ability to breathe with it. the panic everyone must have felt, I cannot imagine how terrifying that would be. especially the people who were locked below deck. their last moments of life, they were treated as if they weren't valued. its so heartbreaking.
It’s one thing to read and hear about the sinking but it’s another thing to see it in games or simulations and seeing, hearing and or experiencing what really happened. Like as you said, the guy in the porthole crying out for help or seeing families separated on deck not knowing when they would see each other again. It’s sad and depressing and even more so when we take a step back from the visuals and remember all the other information that was collected centuries after like how there was still room in the lifeboats or misinterpreted words among crew. Saddening.
@@monkee1159 Well, the Wiki page on the sinking of the Titanic mentions the following:
"Few third-class (steerage) passengers had made it up onto the deck, and most were still lost in the maze of corridors or trapped behind gates and partitions that segregated the accommodation for the steerage passengers from the first- and second-class areas.[125] This segregation was not simply for social reasons, but was a requirement of United States immigration laws, which mandated that third-class passengers be segregated to control immigration and to prevent the spread of infectious diseases."
"In at least some places, Titanic's crew appear to have actively hindered the steerage passengers' escape. Some of the gates were locked and guarded by crew members, apparently to prevent the steerage passengers from rushing the lifeboats.[125] Irish survivor Margaret Murphy wrote in May 1912:
'Before all the steerage passengers had even a chance of their lives, the Titanic's sailors fastened the doors and companionways leading up from the third-class section ... A crowd of men was trying to get up to a higher deck and were fighting the sailors; all striking and scuffling and swearing. Women and some children were there praying and crying. Then the sailors fastened down the hatchways leading to the third-class section. They said they wanted to keep the air down there so the vessel could stay up longer. It meant all hope was gone for those still down there.[125]' "
@@monkee1159 we have no idea. It may very well be true since most of the lower class people were either trapped or locked in rooms or hallways. Either that or some were too rich to think it was that serious and in turn was left to realize how real it was when it was too late. I’ve watched a documentary where some man came and locked rooms making sure people didn’t go back for their stuff and some woman got trapped in her room when going back for a journal or book she was writing.
this is truly heartbreaking, tragic, and made me realize how terrifying the experience actually was...

It was such a devestating loss that Churchill ordered a media blackout on the sinking and information is still secret to this day. Back then Britain was reeling, on the 8th of june in the Norwegian Sea the British Navy lost 1,207 when the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious sank, 160 from the destroyer HMS Acasta and 152 from the destroyer HMS Ardent, a total of 1,519... In France from the 10th May in less than two months the BEF suffered 66,426 casualties, 11,014 killed, 14,074 wounded and 41,338 men missing or taken prisoner. Churchill thought the Lancastria would be the final nail in the coffin of British morale and resolve.
I’m just dying, imagining Jack on board next to a family being separated. He just pops in “Are We Sinkin’?! Like RIGHT now?? I can’t feel anything” lol idk y it got me
Another great movie called A Night To Remember is about the titanic that is more based on the real life people and the survivor's accounts. Though at that time, it was still widely believed it was in tact when it sank, and doesn't break in half. You can watch it on youtube though, even a colorized version. Many scenes Rose and Jack had are based on actual events

Surprisingly I thought the daddy would pull on the heart strings
Everyone knows Dog lives matter more than people lives
It's really sad because yes "aww the dog" (we all love dogs) but in the narrative of the game, the dog is clearly here to show that upper class people could even take their dogs before the men leaving the Titanic. Yes, it's a small dog, but you can see at the end, it down there, on a space where a whole human could have fitted. It's just a way of picturing how empty the lifeboats were...
That transition from the title, to looking up and seeing a submarine diving, and realizing you're at the completely dark bottom of the ocean (3-4.000 meters or something), triggered my thalassophobia SO hard... 😨
I've been watching so many of his vids lately, and this one had me genuinely crying with laughter during the item conservation section. The way he roughly shoved the briefcase into the freezer, or dropped the paper on the ground, and looked around to the whiteboard that said 'conserve items'.
Funny AF.
As a young person, i never realized how terrifying it must be to be on either the lifeboat or the titanic, watching your loved ones still in the ship, hearing people crying and screaming, watching victims drowning and slowly dying, the sheer horror of watching so many lives lost in a tragedy and there's nothing you can do about it is painful
I forgot who exactly it was that this applied to, but I did read somewhere that one of the survivors of the titanic refused to attend a single baseball game when he landed in NY. Why? Because the cheering of the crowd reminded him of the screams he heard as people drowned the night the ship sunk. Edit: And to this day I cannot get over how heartbreaking that is. What should have been a joyous event was warped into a terrible, awful reminder of one of the most well known tragedies of the century.

@@devinberry4472 but Vietnam don’t do 4th of July?
When that ship went down, survivors in the lifeboats recalled hearing screams of terror and agony from the cold water. As time went on, the sounds grew quieter. After about half an hour after Titanic disappeared, all was quiet. Absolutely horrific.
the lady in the boat that seems fine is the Unsinkable Molly. She is the reason why 6 people were saved from the water after the ship sank. "Those are your men out there!" she basically told the Seamen on the boat that they were going back one way or another to see if they could save people. And they did.
The thing that makes me the most sad about the sinking of the titanic is that along with the defening screams of people dying is that a lot of people jumped off the titanic when it was angled up before all the lights fully went out and when it broke in half.
A man was asked for an interview of what his experience was after the Titanic sank and they were left in the dark. He said something along the lines of 'don't remind me, the sounds of the people stranded in the water were terrible, actually the silence that followed was deafening'
so i live right next to new york city (NJ) and my mom lived here during 9/11. she said that he silence in the air on 9/11 and the days after it were so silent that it was as if time was stuck in place. you know when a ton of loss has happened when silence is so silence that its loud.
This gave me the chills
@@neenayannelli2334 Titanic is much worse in the sense that it was a pure accident by nature. The other thing can not be compared. Yes was tragic of the people that died but that had a political agenda to , to later justify killing of people in the North Africa & Middle East. So for me its 2 completely DIFFERENT things.
@@erikalulea3608 I wasent comparing? I was saying the silence is terrifying after big losses.
Looking into this a little more, it’s looking like the sinking of the Titanic was an “agenda”, too. I know it sounds absolutely insane, but please look it up.
I'd never considered the immersion, of like... hearing different accents, and babies crying, and the lights going out. But watching Jack infodump is so happy! Seeing anyone go on about something they know a lot about is somehow really nice.
I love hearing people talk about their passions, interests.
Now I'm considering it a true fact that while the women and children cried as the Titanic sank into the cold, unforgiving sea, an Irish man said cheerfully, "I hope we get to see it break in half!"
2:24 Jack literally predicts the iron lung
I feel like one of the most interesting stories I personally learned about the Titanic, was the story of the ships baker. Apparently when he learned that the ship was sinking, he got wasted on some "good brandy" he had stashed away somewhere and with his life vest on went to the stern and just waited. As the ship broke apart and the stern sank, he rode it down like an elevator and didn't even get his hair wet. Best part, he survived in the basically freezing water for 3 hours because he was drunk, and found his way to the only lifeboat that was upside down and stayed on that lifeboat with about 20ish other people for another four hours before they were finally rescued.
Alcohol lowers your core body temperature.
ER ... Mythbusters would like to have a word with you about what alcohol does to the body's heat retention. It sends the warm blood to your extremities so that you feel warm, but the reason your body pulled the blood away from your hands, feet and ears to begin with is because it was trying to keep the heat in your body around your vital organs. Drunk, body heat pours out of you, there's no retention. It's kind of a quick fix if your fingers are about to be frostbitten, but it's no survival strategy. So, if that happened, he'd freeze faster, not slower.
Yeah, that's not how alcohol works.
I was curious based on the replies re: alcohol but also how this was a true story of a person. If anyone wants to look it up, the baker was Charles Joughin, And it sounds like he didn't have a ton of alcohol, half a tumbler full of liquor. He also was moving around a ton before and after the ship sank, saving people and trying to help. He said he didn't feel the cold in the water, possibly because of the alcohol, and when he was eventually able to get to a lifeboat there wasn't room but someone held him on the side so he was partially out of water. He ended up only having swollen feet.
I'm not medically trained in the slightest so I could be wrong, but if I had to hazard a guess, he was probably at least partially just lucky, and then all his moving around probably got his body temperature up and blood flowing to his extremities. Then when it sank, the alcohol may have dulled his perception of the cold enough that he didn't go into shock or have a more extreme reaction, which may have been bolstered by him treading water for hours, further giving reason for blood to flow. When he got to the lifeboat and wasn't actively keeping himself up anymore, that's probably why his feet were swollen because at that point he wouldn't have been exercising his limbs or muscles as much. I imagine he would have died if they hadn't gotten help for a longer period of time.
Again, completely guessing here. Also his body chemistry and clothing and body weight and genetics and who knows what else may have also played a role, depending on what the primary factors were in his relatively unscathed survival.
I didn't see anything about him wearing a life jacket but I was just skimming one source very quickly. So that may have affected how much energy he exerted, whether he had that aid or not.
Either way, I have to agree with OP that the story is fascinating! We can only go based on his own testimony so it's of course possible he lied about being so helpful and heroic when everything was going to hell. But presuming he told the truth, I'm so happy someone like him managed to live. Because based on his narrative, he really tried to help others until pretty much he last second. It could have easily meant that turned into sacrificing himself but clearly he lived. I hope his story was true. So sad that all of this happened though
@@sunstripe85 you put more effort into a comment then I do to actual work. Respect brotha.
One of the most heartbreaking things for me is when the boat sank and the band stayed on and played until the very end. I believe, if I remember correctly, that it was because the band members already knew that they were dead and instead of trying to flee they stayed and continued performing to try to calm the passengers and just spread what little happiness they could💔😭
"Gentlemen, playing with you has been an honor."
I can’t remember WHERE it is, it may be in the place in Belfast where it was made, but somewhere this historical like place has these tall black plaques that have pictures of the band members, placed in the order they were in while they were playing when the ship went down.
Wallace Hartley, John Woodward, Roger Bricoux, John Hume, John F.P Clarke, Georges Krins, Percy Taylor and Theodore Brailey
@@chocolinakatzroy5085 There is a room with those black plaques in the Titanic museum in Gatlinburg Tennessee! They also have the original violin that Hartley(I think) played that night.

The Titanic had been laying at the bottom of the Atlantic undisturbed for 73 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 23 hours, 40 minutes. That's 26,802 days.

I'm from Germany and in 2019 I had an internship as teacher at a boys school in Cork. I got to visit a lot of irish citys that year. Including Queenstown (now Cobh) they had a Titanic exprerience and I got there not knowing id be standing next to the docks where the titanic last stopped. I still get chills thinking about it. If anyone gets to visit ireland I HIGHLY recommend Cobh and the experience. It's chilling and you get a ticket with a name of an actual titanic passanger and you have to wait till the end to read their story and if they survivied or died that night. The whole trip wasn't planned and i'm not an titanic enthusiast. Never even seen the movie back then. But I'm really glad I got to experience this.
Waiting for the part 2 of this where jack reacts to VR Experience of Titan imploding
What makes this experience more somber is, at least I could, hear people screaming what sounded like it was way off in the distance. That could have actually been in the game or it could have been Sean's audio quieting everything else down around it. But think about how scared the people on the life boats were and amplify that. That's probably what the people who were still on board were feeling. It must have been absolutely terrifying to experience.
Sitting in a lifeboat and hearing people screaming in the distance must have been one of the most gut wrenching sounds imaginable. Second only to the silence that came about 15 minutes after the ship sank.
@sexx WILL BE ROTTING IN HRLL FOR THIS LMAOO
@sexx What is your problem
Spooky
the thing that was even worse was when they fired off the SOS fireworks, there was like 2 or 3 ships somewhat nearby that Could have come and helped, but they had assumed that they were having a party or something along the lines. it's one of those things where it's like.... that's insane...
Yes you are right..a horrible irony..also the other ships got tired of radio messages from frolicking rich revellers that they switched off their receivers and didnt get the sos messages that came in later that evening..a whole chain of dissasters
There was one ship nearby that they were attempting to signal, but they were supposed to fire the rockets in one minute intervals to signal distress, and they fired them in five minute intervals instead. It's unknown for sure why this error occurred, but it's generally believed to be a training error, and stricter training is one of the many laws changed after Titanic sunk.
did you also know the titanic shouldnt of been in the water in the first place during the construction a fire broke out weakening the metal and damaging many thing, this caused some of the floors to already be flooded before the ship it the ice and sense the metal was weakened it allowed the ice to break the metal easier :)
@@radioblitz1494 That's not true. It's a conspiracy theory loosely inspired by a real coal fire that happened at the beginning of the voyage, and a smudge on a picture.
It's like hearing a kid screaming next door, and having to weigh your options: Are they playing, being a brat, or are they being beaten.
If you call the police, you're more than likely overreacting by an extreme margin, if you don't, you might have let a kid get fucking whalloped.

Oh man same! I was bloody obsessed with the Titanic as a kid! Wanting to know all the information, the size. Making the titanic in paint as much as I could humanly do!!
I remember having the original vhs of the movie as a kid!
@sexx no thats you lmao
Same man I'm only 12 and I'm still obsessed with the Titanic
I remeber seeing it when I was 6 and I was obsessed ever since
You cant just say "oh man same" cause we dont know what ur talking about smh
I had to go through some historic records for a paper on the Titanic for university and found out that a lot of servants that had had to stay on the ship, not being allowed into the lifeboats or stuck in flooding areas, were written in as additional luggage. They hadn't been included in the final death toll until the last few years and we still don't know how many were still on the ship.
That’s horrifying.
The conditions for workers back in those days were horrible as it was but literally treating them like luggage terrifies me.
😅
@@awaffle_ why do you find it so funny?
@Allen Dier There are some articles on google scholar but more details come out when you look into the servants being people of colour
btw for thos that didnt really understand why it sunk if it had seal tight doors the reason is because the iceburg puctrued 5 compartments it could only hold 4 punctrures
Have been a fan myself since before the movie, and owned books about it as a child. It was moving when you approached the ship and you almost get goosebumps seeing it emerge from the dark!
The most terrifying thing for me regarding Titanic are people that were closed out inside the ship. To stop the water and try to keep the whole ship afloat, they closed those famous metal doors, but with it they closed the lower class people along side with it, while the water was swiping in. Those people were dying, unable to get out while the ship was ascending to the bottom of the sea. The ones that were I. Areas were water took longer to reach or where the construction was tight enough to have air pockets knew they can’t get out, and they knew they will die. Either by water, suffocating or cos of pressure, they had no hope and were just waiting for death. That is terrifying
*I read a little more on it and it concluded the doors weren't shut, but the passengers were kept in for much longer than the others. It's pretty interesting so I do encourage to read some testimonies from trials
Descending*
But yes, truly horrifying, and i don't say that lightly...
I do wonder if anyone was ever held responsible for that. Frankly, i think the one who closed them in there should've been hanged, if not worse...
I can imagine worse ways to die, but it certainly is up there... To die there in (i assume) the absolute dark, just waiting to die with your family (if you're lucky)... And no one remembers them either, so unbelievably sad...
Also don't forget those brave crew members who chose to stay inside to keep the power on. The amount of bravery and courage is incredible.
@@schnek8927 well I think it’s a bit much to say they should have been hanged. They were doing their best to keep the ship afloat and save SO many more lives. It’s not like they closed the doors with the hope and wish of killing someone, they closed those doors with the hope of saving so many more lives. They had no way of knowing that the boat was 100% going down so they tried to save it and everyone else on board. They weren’t maliciously trying to kill the people they locked in there. Those deaths ARE on their hands sure, but they shouldn’t be punished severely for it, they were trying to save as many lives as possible. But I mean this whole topic doesn’t matter since they’re all gone anyway and there’s nobody to punish.
I absolutley agree. I bet there were people in areas with air in the front section, just sinking withe the ship, decending all the way to the bottom. I thankfully cannot imagine how that must have felt, because I'm not sure I could handle knowing that feeling
@@schnek8927 Hanged is a bit much imo, because they were faced with the burden of being forced to choose between those people's lives or possibly the lives of everyone else on board. I don't think its in any way admirable that they condemned those people to their fate but I don't envy the position they were in to be forced to MAKE that choice. If anything, blame the designers who were arrogant enough to put living spaces that could be closed off with the watertight doors.
Someone should make a Chernobyl vr experience. Just imagine being in the position of the control room and seeing how the scientists were dealing with the situation, and then we get to see the power plant from the outside especially from the firefighters perspectives. You got my idea I'd love to see it happening just like the HBO Chernobyl.
Oh wow that would be incredible!!!!
I must get a VR headset soon.
I believe that Reality 51's Chernobyl VR Project could have a real-time VR experience, like the one in the video, if the group released a new and better project version. In general, historic VR experiences are an extraordinary use of the technology, and the expanding genre of these VR experiences actually makes me want to try it out more than VR-adapted video games.
I mean, I don’t know how much there would be to experience considering how there was no graphite on the roof.
that would be amazing! i'd love to watch sean or someone play a VR game about Chernobyl or like Hiroshima
Why not just create a world disasters experience, containing the Titanic, Pompeii, Chernobyl, Hiroshima, etc, and just have all of them grouped together?
What is even more scary is that the visibility was much worse than seen here, since there was no moon that night. So once the power went out, nobody could really see anything
It went from wonder timing, comedic timing to tragic and really scary.
So fun fact, it wasn’t complete negligence on the crews part that they didn’t see the iceberg. There was originally a different captain who was supposed to guide titanic on her maiden voyage but at the last second, while people were already loading onboard, he was replaced with another captain who was more renowned (I believe this is why he was replaced may be incorrect) in the mad dash to get all his belonging and himself off the ship before it left he mistakingly took the only copy of a certain key with him. He didn’t notice till after the titanic had left. This key was for the binocular cabinet that the crew would have used to look for things like icebergs.
I also like that the accurately portrayed people disbelief that the ship was actually sinking. Many survivors talked about how they didn’t think it was a big deal till they were already in the water.
EDIT: since I’ve had a few comments addressing this, it wasn’t the captain of the ship but a high ranking officer underneath him. Either first or second.
There is also a reason the other ship didn't come, it's because they couldn't see them due to a like an ice cold version of a mirage, where the sky is reflected just above the waterlevel, hiding probably both the iceberg and ships in the area from one another. I really need to find back the documentary that explained it all
It wasn't the captain but the first officer but every thing else is correct
There's also the point that at the time, regulations didn't require as many lifeboats simply because ships with that size weren't meant to sink. Lifeboats were there just to get some people out of the ship *until* whatever happened was fixed to get them back to the ship. It's not even true that Titanic had too few lifeboats, at least according to regulations. Regulations just didn't require enough space for everyone (which is bonkers of course).
Huh I didn't know that about the titanic and as the old saying goes you learn something new everyday
@@Frenzyo that is a myth, there was a fire, but there was no casulties as a result of the fire. the idea that the fire had contributed to the sinking is a conspiracy theory which has been rebuked
Cool story: my great great uncles Sig and Otto Yohnson were supposed to be on the Titanic but they supposedly missed the ship because of "missing paperwork".
A few years ago my grandparents were visiting and we just so happened to watch James Cameron's Titanic.
At the part where Leonardo Dicaprio's character wins tickets off of "Sven and Olaf" my grandfather kinda chuckled so I asked him what was funny. Apparently Sig and Otto were notorious gamblers (their brother was in jail in Sweden for gambling debts) so it wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world if those two Swedish guys Leo won tickets from were actually based off the story of my great great uncles missing the boat by sheer dumb luck and gambling.
Just thought I'd share!
That is really awesome! Lucky for them for not ending up on the Titanic.
That's pretty damned awesome.
Woah. They changed their fates by gambling. Who knew gambling could actually be a good thing?
I love how at 2:40 Jack perfectly predicts Iron Lung
I just bought a VR headset but I couldn't decide what to do first.
This looks pretty special, I will try this for my first proper VR experience.
I think VR has great potential as an educational tool. Even just watching Sean's video and not having the headset on myself, I was tearing up. Being immersed in that horrific event and listening to what the people around you might have been saying, watching the ship slowly (then quickly) sink right before your eyes, and then just the dead silence and empty horizon like it was never there in the first place. That is so much more powerful than just reading about it.
It truly is, and hearing the faint shouts of terror and desperation truly makes my heart feel for them more deeply than reading of it. 😔
There's a Kickstarter for a language game too, where you can interact with objects and learn their names. I'm really only interested in VR for it's educational abilities but some of this stuff is really cool.
Oh absolutely!! The progression of technology truly amazes me.
I'd love to have a VR game true to WW1 and WW2.
Imagine providing this technology to students, even if it's low quality or those cardboard VR sets, for educational experiences like this or even just videos like Sean's for students to see for themselves. It would be revolutionary in drilling in historical events' impact or improving memorizing vocabulary with the language game mentioned above.

"Surely they can see our rockets sir"
"If they can they're not responding"
Yep, that's the *SS Californian* on the horizon, and yes they can see your rockets... but because they thought they were fireworks, they left. The captain of the Californian had to live with the guilt for the rest of his life.
For those who want to know what it sounded like that night, "Frank Goldsmith, Jr., a Titanic survivor who later lived near Navin Field (Tiger Stadium) in Detroit, never took his children to baseball games because the roar of the crowd reminded him of the screams of people dying in the freezing water"
holy…🤭 that’s actually so scary
A veteran I used to look after years ago, was in WWII. He was on a ship that was close to another that was torpedoed and the Captain wouldn't allow them to go and help because he was afraid their ship would go down if it was too close to them. He heard their screams. He had night terrors for over 60 years.
And he had nightmares and flashback every homerun and stuff the poor kid…
And that was a reverse mirage with the Californian…
I remember him from an interview I watchad about a year ago and what he said about the screams and the silence has stuck with me. Very chilling
Fun fact: you won't find skeletons near the wreck, as they have all dissolved, but you will find shoes, as they last longer, so every pair of shoes near the wreck is basically all that remains of a corpse.
Also, the band on board kept playing their instruments all the way until the ship sunk. They wanted to calm people down, and they gave their lives.
Also, there's this story of one of the passengers jumping off the side and being shredded by the propellers.
(edited to fix spelling error)
Some people who jumped too late were sucked underneath the ship due to the suction.

That's mad epic
Charles Lightoller’s story is insane too
Yes, Charles Joughin. He was the head baker of the Titanic. He also threw around 40 chairs off board to help people stay afloat.
After all the thundering noise of the Titanic sinking and people screaming, I can imagine the haunting silence heard by those on the lifeboats was deafening.
I've read articles where survivors said the silence was more terrifying than the screaming.
I definitely agree the silence after would be more terrifying. And how still the water would've become again.
It's one of the most terrifying parts to watch in James Cameron's version. The screaming, crying and splashing of desperate passengers, the groaning of the ship as the stern lifted out of the water, the screaming when the electricity turns off and the ship goes dark, the snap as the hull splits in two and the deafening, terrifying silence as the boats try and get far away as the ship goes under so as not to get sucked under by the current of the ship. Its the scariest part of the whole damn movie.
I've read articles that some of the people on the lifeboats could hear the Titanic crashing into the sea floor and falling apart beneath the water. So while it must've been very quiet afterwards, there was a horrifying clanging and banging beneath you every once in a while.
