So many of the people who died were men who had no choice but to sacrifice their lives so women and children could be saved. They were the real heroes of this sad story.
Let's start a men's rights club
@@Junksaint😂
Where are the feminist????. Will any of them do this???
Men are truly protectors!!!
@@faithieflame4976 No modern day feminist would do this for men. They're nuts!
@@JunksaintAl Bundy, "No Ma'am:.
I was lucky enough to know Eva hart I always thought how brave and strong she was for surviving such a terrible accident she is a amazing human being
How did you know her?
It’s so nice that they got these interviews before these people were gone
It’s so nice you left this comment before you’re gone
@@Juandelgadoo956why be a prick?
Read a book and you'll have so much more
“It was almost like murder wasn’t it?” No truer words about the Titanic disaster were ever uttered.
How true. Today in 2023 the ship company owners would be in jail.
It definitely was like murder
Very untrue 🤣🤣🤡🤡
@@Acidburn3141 so what if the company who made your vehicle cut corners because they were cheap and caused a fatal accident? Who’s fault would that be? Would the company be liable for your death?
The bankers on the ship were holding out on introducing the federal reserve. With those gone, the rest is history, it was implemented just data after at Jeckyl Island.
The only thing more terrifying than the hundreds of screams was the silence that followed
and the overkill "reenactment" Morse Code beeping in this documentary.
Concordo... Deve essere stato terribile, a volte il silenzio è piu agghiacciante del rumore
Such a bot comment
You can tell the gentleman who jumped off the stern of the ship was truly haunted by the entire ordeal. I hope he was able to find peace.
Oh. He found peace alright.
@@andrewc2491 yeah you are not funny
@@BabyJesus420 you’re going to find peace, too. I wish you peace, game boy.
@@andrewc2491the Grim creeper
I think anybody would. Falling from the stern in the middle of the freezing ocean in pitch black with other people dieing around you. Yea that trauma is for life.
Those people went through a lot! Titanic, World Wars 1&2, Economic depression…🥲
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...
Yea. Ppl argue the same with Eva Hart and she was 7 at the time but remembered clarity that did break. Sadly that Walter lord didn’t use that to his book cus he interview her.
I watched a documentary where they explained that the ship did not break any where near the surface. It did but when it was almost about to hit the sea floor. Maybe everything did crack inside the ship but it didnt split before their eyes. Or maybe it did, but not completely.
@@leidygarcia86it did break on the surface, Eva Hart clearly said that she saw the ship broke in half. Not only her, but many others said the same thing, they said the ship broke in half on the surface but no one believed them.
She was bullied into it , she clearly saw it break in half before an idiot came along took the mic 🎤 from here telling everyone that this was an illusion due to titanic funnels collapsing , wow , I would sue all these idiots who shut me up
Er almost an equal number of men and women were saved.
Those guys that got interviewed about how much they “loved” and “romanticized” the Titanic gave me chills. Something about how they lit up about a tragedy is incredibly unnerving.
I agree with you. The "fans/enthusiasts" were so creepy
They’re very evil people.
Yes. It's troubling in too many ways to count, each as appalling as the next, but I think the general social acceptability regarding organized group glorification of such a tragic, ghoulish piece of history is the most unsettling. Just call it the Morbidly Obsessed Association.
"UNSINKABLE!!!"...typical bravado begging for it.
The guy in the t-shirt, like it was Star Wars or something ...
Yeah it’s like they were at Comic-Con something
The mere fact that I was alive while these survivors were still around gives me a certain sense of obligation to hear their stories directly, a human continuance for future generations.
yes yes yes yes
and same
Same
Ur right. I have thought about that. I didn't realize that these people were around during my childhood. I am trying to extract all the information from my 81 year old grand mother that was in her 20s in crazy 60s.
In the end death comes a 'callin for both pauper's and kings 😢
My grandmother, an illiterate Maltese farmgirl born in 1907, used to tell me how much commotion the news of Titanic caused in her village. An amazing event that continues to captivate
There's a whole combination of factors that keep the Titanic's story alive (maiden voyage and biggest man-made movable object at the time among others)
he's right at 15:20, you CAN sort of smell ice when its around. Like snow, you CAN sort of smell it!
It gives you a mild, burning feeling in your nose; I have had this happen before.
In deed you can smell snow coming!
All those warnings about ice, just break my heart.
R.I.P. victims of the Titanic. 🌹
And to think that the captain gave one of them to Ismay before posting it on the bridge for the officers to read....
A beautiful documentary. The people are so lovely and dignified. My grandfather, from Donegal, went to Belfast to see the Titanic being built when he was only 14. He had never seen black men before. Black men helped build the Titanic on the docks.
who cares
@@engineeringeconomics We do. *Clown*
@@McLarenMercedes yeah because blacks only care about race, CLOWN
I find this disingenuous and frankly unbelievable.
@@marysteven6347 Were you there in the docks of Belfast in the year 1900 to watch this?
These interviews were done 2 years before the Titanic was found in 1985.. that's crazy
I'm sure those haunting images and videos of the ship at the bottom of the ocean caused some intense memories
That's true, it's like the great moment of the legend, before the discovery and the science part of it.
Edwina McKenzie died in December 1984, so she didn't live to see it.
To say something is unsinkable is begging for trouble. It's ludicrous as heck. Eva Harts mom had a great sixth sense and it saved Eva. Rest easy to all deceased ❤️❤️❤️
It was a different time. 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.
When they said it they jinxed the ship bad .
@@herbertsattelmeier2941 and the Oceanos that sank off South Africa in the early 1990’s.
Ismay should never have said,"God himself could not sink this ship". It wasn't just in the movie, many witnesses verified that he said it. What absolute arrogance!
They never said that. That came after it sunk. It was practically unsinkable and that's how they sold it to the public and it was, it was one of the safest ships of the time
It's through videos like this that youtube proves it's worth....priceless stuff here.
The man who was rescued from the water...incredible he survived! I can't imagine the trauma and night terrors/ptsd
They didn’t have ptsd back then , people were much tougher. They just went on with life and did what needed to be done!
@@mikethomas6120 They had PTSD it just wasn't recognized as a condition back then, but you are in part right, people were tougher back then, technology hasn't made our lives easier at all, it's made us weaker, it's said that tough lives breed tough people.
I was born in 1969 so national service wasn't a thing after i left school in the mid 80's, i think it should be reintroduced here in England
@@mikethomas6120dumb comment, dont talk about things you are clueless on.
@@geemonster9179Well the further Back in time you go people seem to be tougher. Look at Andrew Jackson who was dueling people. People Adapt to the times.
What a ridiculous and unfounded comment.
The screams would haunt me😢💔The poor man was finding it hard to describe. So traumatising for him 💔
Frank Prentice remains the ultimate eye witness survivor for me. I love his know-how about the ship, his use of maritime phrases etc. It’s all so authentic e.g “What I did see was ice in the forward well deck and I thought ‘Hullo, we’ve hit an iceberg.’”
And his survival story is extraordinary.
That guy is the best. Love listening to him. Could for hours
To spend an hour with Mr. Prentice.
Why not longer?
He's dressed very nice.
The Consumate English Gentleman ! Such charm and wit !!..
Im here after the 5 people who just lost their lives trying to see the remains of the Titanic smfh
Eva Hart’s mother was quite someone else. Imagine having a feeling of doom hanging over you to the point you refused to sleep at night!
It took 2 1/2 years to build the Titanic, it then took 2 1/2 hours for her to sink (sadly)
An example of how all the hard work can come undone quickly as that.
Keep on the right path in what you do.
Same for the World Trade Center.
@@chuckie102883 that was a controlled demolition
I'm nit picking but it sank in 2 hours 40 minutes.
@@paulanthony5274 No problem 👍
It took 3 years to build.
Its strange to see documentaries that do not show the ship rising up & breaking apart. Its amazing how much we learned about this event in the last 40 years.
There is nothing romantic about this tragic loss of life.
Funny how we remember history isn't it
Absolutely agree. It's ludicrous to use romantic and death in same settings.
yes, that was the oddest thing said in this documentary!
Yeah, that one guy romanticizing this event was weird for sure.
@@wownewstome6123 I am sure he didn't mean that .
Thank you for your service 🙏 the crew of the Titanic may you rest in peace 🙏 🪦.
Its so heartwarming to see how many ppl in the comments actually care about the passengers who lost their lives that night so many years ago, because it seems like most are only interested in the ship itself even till this day people are going down in the water to look at a deteriorating ship. Smh
"It's very romantic, very dramatic, very melodramatic"
No bruh........it was an absolute disaster, and not one survivor would use any of those words to describe the experience. smh
I am pretty sure romantic was meant for the actual titanic, not the sinking part.
English? Try it.
@@FuckCZcams1776 Reading comprehension? Try it.
@@FuckCZcams1776 if you can’t understand a perfectly legible comment, that’s your issue.
BURN
It was so sad to here the gentleman say he still has nightmares and will have another one that night 😢. Rest well precious Angels 🙏🏾
He believed he was saved by the grace of God yet he never walked with that Gpd who would have healed him. Jesus showed God holiness but he failed to find Him..I hope he did b4 he died.
It’s so weird to think this was filmed before the Titanic was discovered. I remember as a little girl learning about it in school and it discussed that it’s too deep to find.
Sometimes I wish Titanic wasn't found. I always liked the thought that she went down in one piece.
It absolutely fascinates me, but I wish it were never found. We mustn’t disturb the dead nor should we have ever messed with a huge part of history. Some things just need to be left alone. It’s been 111 years and the Titanic is still taking lives. 😢
@@shell6829they tell us that it happened in 1912 however I believe it happened in 1902. Many of the passengers weren't normal I guess they were used to cold weather. They could of been saved within an hour of the sinking. It's foul play cause of how cold it was
Never knew they had so many iceberg warnings but failed to react. Poor form indeed! And holy snap, that guy jumped off the back end of the ship and survived, Aint nobody else has a story like that!
Not really, most if I remember right we’re not directly on their path and captain smith did turn the ship south once because of the ice warnings as was more standard of the time. It was likely a cold water mirage / false horizon that distorted their view until the iceberg was right there.
One thing to keep in mind is that wireless had been on ships for less than twelve years. Captain Smith had been on the North Atlantic for over forty years. He had sailed through ice more times than he could likely remember. He'd never had any incident happen and he was pretty much handling his ship as he always had.
@@freckles4603the operator responded with “shut up I'm busy”. They def f’ed up.
@@galesal1109 whether that operator survived or not, hope he was thrown in jail for life. Or committed...
What a careless, lifeless incompetent soul
@@galesal1109 Some warnings were sent up to the bridge and ignored. There was no protocol for passing on and responding to messages.
Her mother reminds me of my mother, who has a strong sense of danger, she would sit up at night whenever she felt something was off and not sleep. In the end, thieves turned up at our home, and she would confront them like a ghost and scare them with her voice. My senses are heightened at night, too, it's strange.
My mom is the same way I’m like that now I can sense it coming I even can sense when someone is about to knock on my door
😂😂 I’m legitimately laughing because my mom is this way hahaha it’s so annoying 😂😂😂
Every one has intuition it's just that most skeptic people don't listen to it. That strong gut feeling
You could have given her the medication back....
@@irisflow7461modern people are conditioned to ignore it now. Listen to your instincts!
Eva Hart said the Titanic "will go down in history as the one disaster where there was no need for anyone to die."
And now with today's news those words are very errie. Rip passengers of Titan.
9/11 says hello
The next disaster where no one needed to die was that stupid ship that took visitors to see the Titanic. That’s what happens when people mess with Hallowed grounds.
As a welder... lessons were learned from this that i was taught when learning. They had put "slugs" of metal bars into the big welds to make the welding faster. Well, it weakened the hull of the boat to a lethal demise. We were taught NEVER to do that. Never. Its legacy lives on in many ways
I took care of a lady while a nurse in 1999 who was 108 years old. She remembered when the Titanic sank and talked about it often. She lived to 110...no lie
LOVE that they got these interviews before they passed away.
🙏❤️
💜🙏yes!
good point
Sometimes on a winter night when it’s real cold and I have to go outside, I think about those people who had to go in the water and how horrible it must have been for them.
@markgolden8710 crap
Bless those old soles but these enthusiasts are goofballs. And here we are in 2023 it took 5 more millionaires/billionaires. In that story I only feel bad for the teenager.
@mark: So do I.
Yeah I'm sure it felt the same lol
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. czcams.com/video/l9SjT9yamSA/video.html
Now it's 2023,and 5 men recently lost their lives 😢 😔 on a trip to explore the depths of titanic, again due to errors, tragedy has struck ! Let titanic rest,for she can still take lives!!!
Titanic doesn’t take lives. People being careless is what is causing the issues.
Her mother knew. Always trust your mothers intuition.
That justifies hysterical, paranoid and mothers suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
95% of those women who trust their "intuition" obviously don't have it when marrying. Eventually they turn into bitter women. Guess their intuition didn't save them.
God, what an answer above. She’s talking about moms with incidents like Eva Hart’s, not women who made bad marriages. My mom had a few psychic incidents like this and if she hadn’t, I would not be here.
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.
You can take a mother’s instinct to the bank! A woman’s instinct for that matter!
The North Atlantic is truly "a harsh and jealous sovereign" (David McCallum) it advises you not to be "flying in the face of God" (Esther Hart)
my grandfather was on the CARPATHIA. it was a very horrific event.for all.need to hear the stories from the CARPATHIA.
My great grandfather Albert Horswill was a Titanic survivor.
@@donnix1192fascinating. Did you ever have the chance to meet him?
@@aliciajeffers2298 unfortunately he passed away in 1962, 20 years before I was born. My dad remembers him when he was growing up, he said that Albert was a nice guy and loved the outdoors.
Oh was he....
@@donnix1192 Oh was he....
I was 13 and I was there at the convention as a member of the THS. I still have all the survivor autographs as well as others.
Wow that’s awesome.
I hope your can preserve those autographs. :) I'm glad you were able to make these memories!
@@MonaHerSelfM Danke Mona :)
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... 😓
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”.
I'd like to read more about the actual claim. Any good sources I can find that in?
@@freckles4603 And they also weren’t trying to a break a speed record. They were taking the longer Southern route because of the iceberg warnings. If they were trying to break a speed record, they would have taken the shorter Northern route.
The older I get, the more I've learned to never dismiss your instincts! Intuition is a gift from God, and we should never ignore it!
Truer words couldn’t be said.
Human beings have no common sense.
Have no sense of well being
Have no sense of safety and security.
It’s also unbelievable just how mentally stupid most people are.
I was always told to “Respect the Sea”. If you don’t, tragedy is guaranteed.
Yes! Absolutely!
As David McCallum said one time "The North Atlantic is a harsh and jealous sovereign"
The man who said he may have had a past life on the Titanic. That’s what I feel is going on with all of the enthusiasts especially those that become “obsessed” as children- they are closer to the other side and have a stronger knowing and feeling sense about their past lives. Pretty cool to think about.
My 12 year old son has been obsessed with it for some years..to the point that it’s kind of odd..I have never spoken about it..watched anything about it or ever said it’s name in his presence.He just brought it up to me one day… went as far as asking if he could watch the movie on it..I turned it on in his room for him and let him by himself. He knew about the sub going down to it before I even did lol.. he stays keeping an eye on it.
2200 souls experienced the sinking, thousands more were devastated families and friends on shore, and most of them could have lived and died three or five times since then. I don’t doubt that’s why some people are obsessed with it as children.
And 111 years later, it seems the lessons of the Titanic are lost on many, including those who travel down to the wreckage to study its mysteries. 😢
Truly
yep!! and they just received corrections also, like jack Nicholson was told by that ghost, in the movie the shinning ''and when my wife tried to stop me from doing my duty'' i..''.CORRECTED HER'' you know what i mean. - terrible, people should just let that ship rest in peace. Arrogance , pride, pompous wind bagery, always seem to rise to the top of people's minds right where the devil loves to see it and should be checked all the time.
Esattamente.... Non impariamo mai nulla
Exactly….. the submersible
I have always been so fascinated by this disaster. So many mistakes, fateful decisions 😥😥
Me too
I’m on a Titanic video binge. It’s so sad I just can’t even imagine what they went through.
@@milliem8051 can you recommend any other good ones to check out?
All of us here are fascinated by the story I think
I'm 65 we found my great Grandma had her ticket on shelf thank God she was late getting there she passed away as always had a pie in oven warm as nine years old I loved her Miss her memories All happy 😁
WOW
Thank you for this documentary. God bless these survivors. They must have been through pure hell having to witness and remember the screaming of all the people who died
The Titanic was still lost when this video was made, then In 1985, it took Robert Ballard eight days to find the R.M.S. Titanic around 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
1985 was a banner year for that
It's refreshing to hear the truth of what iccured from survivors rather than sepculation. RIP to all those who lost their lives.
The reason why I find this so fascinating is how preventable this tragedy was R.I.P to all who lost their lives on that fateful night! ❤
I remember when the whole Titanic craze came back around in the 80s.
Looking back, it was hyped up quite a bit just before she was found.
Those involved new it was found and were ready to milk all they could from it.
Suddenly one day, “Titanic Found!”
James Cameron just did an interview saying that the captain ignored many iceberg warnings so that could've been avoidable to such a tragedy and a great loss of life so avoidable on so many levels. This just breaks my heart, and to these poor people what they had to Indore bless their hearts.
1983 is the year I was born. Crazy to know I was born when titanic survivors were still alive. 😮
Same. June 1983
Crazy to know i was a 12 Year Old BOY and BREAK DANCING when you was Born in 1983 :o
How is this crazy?!
That's 40 years ago and that people from 1912 are still alive is just normal.
You must be 40 now I was born in 1984 they found the ship under water in 1985
@@Jcandy200121985 the ship was found wow 😢
As for me, growing up.. my dad was very much into history. I can't say I was back when I was a little boy but my dad had a lot of historical books. Big hard cover ones. One stood out to me and I flipped through all of those black and white pictures. It was the Titanic. That ship gripped me and I just had to keep looking at it. All this time later, still in it's grip. What a story and tragedy.
Interviews with the young men are ridiculous! “Almost religious” and “I feel I walked the decks in another life” oh please. Tragic horrific and nightmares for some of those who survived. I can’t imagine the horrors of it all. God bless all of them. 😔🙏
The younger men at the convention show a bizarre and morbid fetish with the tragedy experienced by others. Unfortunately, there are people today who do the same, glomming onto someone else’s horrific pain with unhealthy fascination-especially if it’s a public-facing tragedy. It’s unsettling that anyone would smile whilst speaking of such a thing.
I was thinking the same thing. Those guys came across as sociopaths.
Touché! I concur. The men were creepy how they seemed to enjoy the horrible event.
9/11 already has enthusiasts like these who were born after it happened, yet are old enough to romanticize it.
A couple of them were just plainly WEIRD.
@@PrimericanIdol that’s just wholly wrong.
Titanic sunk on off the coast of Newfoundland 🇨🇦 where I live. I cannot imagine the pain the people in the water went through before they died. Even in the summer time our part of the ocean is freezing. Sometimes in May there are still lots of icebergs floating around ❤
What breaks my heart is how many people could have been saved if there had just been a few safety checks.
Or enough life boats
I mean this is not entirely true. There was definitely things that might have changed. But there was a combination of things that caused this tragedy. Safety checks was definitely one of them
Gus Grissom knew the real danger and took it regardless. The teacher knew the real danger and took it. To the billionaires in the Titan, it was just an excursion. The world got a wake-up call.
@@user-qn7qd5nh7wtell us more
The Titanic was the absolute latest in safety. It had more safety features and checks than any ship had before
The one lady was accurate saying she heard a explosion and thought it broke in half witch later proved to be true
She claimed five more lives one hundred and eleven years later.
only one survivor mentioned the ship breaking in two and we now know that 2 years later Dr. Ballard would discover the wreck and confirm that the ship did indeed break into 2 pieces.
Unbelievable. Its so heartbreaking listening to these survivors who were actually on the titanic. You can watch all the movies and read all the books but nothing comes close to the tragic and agonizing pain fealt with their stories.
At the last minute M.S.Hershey cancelled his tickets and went to buy German/Swiss confectionery equipment. It became Hershey Chocolate. A Multi-billion dollar corporation with the majority shareholder being his School(s) for Orphan children. He never had any of his own. It’s now the second richest school in America, behind Harvard.
Wow
Lady fate had other plans for him! I live close to Hershey...so many kids have been enriched due to him. The park, is overpriced, but the school is a saving grace!
I read he canceled it because there was an explosion at one of his factories.
I remember in 2012 the very last surviver was interviewed she had been the youngest child on the ship a 9 week old baby she’d been too young to remember but she learned all about what happened from her mum who had been too upset for years to talk about it because her husband had died because he stayed behind on the ship and they’d only been married for 4 years I forget this lady’s name, she died shortly after the interview... e very sad story!
2009.
Oh that was in 2009 actually and her name was Eliza Gladys "Millvina" Dean. In an eerie coincidence she died on May 31st that year the same date the Titanic was launched 98 years earlier
I'm pained whenever i listen to the sinking of the Titanic 🥺
I have ALWAYS been very interested in the history of this event and the Titanic.
I could not imagine living through something like this! God bless these people 😢
Thank you for this video. And I do thank the survivors to have been brave to revisit and talk about such an experience in their life.
It’s so interesting to see how different people spoke back in the day. Like a whole different species lol. 😊
Omg yes how well spoken everyone is.. No slang, no thick accents no curse words just proper English dictionary spoken words, manners really. Imagine the words spoke today. 🙄
Very dignified, unlike today. Different world!!!
Awe the terror of living thru this.
The fact that they were so pompous to ignore the ice warnings and stay going as fast as they were…
After 100 plus years my heart still aches and I’m only 47 years old
You're only 47 but your heart has been aching for over 100 years? 😜
Only 47 lol. Just kidding ❤
This is a time capsule
"You can smell ice."
Using that line in the movie as a joke is wild.
You guys … tragedy can happen anywhere, anytime, as we all know. But damn, are we lucky to live in 2023 with the technology we have … had this happened today, most or all lives would have probably been saved. So tragic. 😔. Be grateful for where we are today, even if it comes with its issues.
Yes
My father knew a gentleman who was on the titanic, he passed away many years ago but it was horrible what happened, and how lucky he was to survive. I find it hard to believe how long and how fascinated people still are about this ship sinking in 1912!
The film played a big role keeping the fascination alive, otherwise I think now would be around the time it would have passed into relative obscurity now that the survivors are dead.
@@MrNikolidas It was already obscure in the 1950's. Walter Lord's famous 1955 novel "A Night to Remember" became a best-seller as did the Hollywood film released in 1958. The latest film will pass into obscurity as well and there's a whole new generation who won't see it because it's "too old". In 2040 most people will say "Titanic what??" Aside from people with a keen historical interest everything is forgotten by the public. Why? Because what the public never experienced themselves is not remembered.
@@McLarenMercedesthe first depiction on film of the Titanic disaster was made only a month after the sinking and it had a Titanic survivor in the cast. First feature film about the tragedy was in 1943, which was a German propaganda film. Roughly 16 films have been made about it. Besides dozens of books. When people think of a ship sinking, it's the one most thought of. I doubt that will change in a 100 years.
Lol your joking lol, how comes we still discuss Dinosaurs from millions of years ago and 'we weren't there?' This story and fascination will never end for the public globally, now more than EVER after that tragic submarine voyage onroute to visit the Titanic, that's now a billion 'new people' worldwide who have now googled the name 'Titanic' since that incident in 2023..... just think about It!
if titanic sank today the media would be blaming global warming for the ice bergs 🤣
When you really think about it, the captain sank that ship by not heeding the ice warnings and going too fast when advised to slow down. He could have avoided the collision by being cautious. A tragedy that need not have happened.
Plus the men who were sent out never reached the boiler room which filled up first. Another fatal mistake.
This is still a heartbreaking story, all these ages later.
Just think when this video was filmed the Titanic still wasn't discovered
Not till 2yrs after
Wow that lady was 98 in 1983!.
Yup. A whole lot of people were 98 years old in 1983 I'd imagine. Not as many as there were people who were younger than that but there were a decent number of them. Not me of course. I only turned 6 in February of that year ('83).
Ive seen this man speak a few times. Each time he is so eloquent
I can't imagine the pain and regret the passengers had when they fell into the frigid waters after being offered a chance in the lifeboats. (((
Fantastic historical document. Many thanks for sharing.
a ship so beautiful, the sea just had to have her.
The North Atlantic is truly "a harsh and jealous sovereign" (David McCallum) it advises you not to keep "flying in the face of God" (Esther Hart)
Thx for posting this is one of the best and most frank documentaries I've seen on the Titanic
Great documentary on the Titanic, thank you.
THESE ARE TRULY AND MESMERISING INTERVIEWS WITH THE SURVIVORS...ALL OF THEM WERE CHILDREN BACK THEN ...THROWN INTO THE LIFEBOATS SO THEY COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES FROM THIS ORDEAL !💖💖💖😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
the horrors of this event will always haunt me, how eerie to hear those screams in the vault of night to then the swallowing silence engulfing the cold air…i think the concept of the ship being “unsinkable” is what also killed a lot of people, it caused so much hesitancy in the urgency to evacuate.
This was a really good documentary
This " we want to be astor" guy is insane
He’s just a bit creepy!
Astor?
The very name Titanic ! has fascinated me, ever since I first heard of her,back in school, in 1968.Our History teacher happened to have just finished reading about her, in a night to remember . Loved the film of the same name.
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.
@@susanhewitt6359 debunked? The ship did split in two
@@julieblount5674 Not according to the show I watched, just watch it
@@susanhewitt6359 I don't know what you watched, but I pulled up the title you gave. 1) They showed Bob Ballard. He's the one who first found the wreckage in 1985, in two sections 2) They interviewed James Cameron who actually went to where Titanic was, he found it split in two. All the footage that anyone has from the Titanic sight, 2.5 miles below, the ship is split .
@@susanhewitt6359 the show you mentioned doesn't debunk a split

@@julieblount5674 You must not have watched the "Drain the Oceans" one I'm talking about. It just came out on YT on Sunday. They showed what Titanic looks like on the ocean floor, and mapped out the entire debris field. They were saying it's a very small field and that if it had split before sinking, that field would be much broader than it is. It's towards the last third of the show that they talk about it. I'm not sure what you watched but it's on there.
It’s the captain 👨✈️ who takes the blame. Other ships had rested that evening because of the ice. Captain orders were not only to keep moving but also in full speed
No, not at full speed, she never reached her full speed. 5 of her boilers were still not lit by the time she struck the berg. It was standard procedure to maintain speed in the presence of ice at the time, several captains confirmed this when they testified at the inquiry.
As for the ships that were stopped for the night, can you name one that did stop besides the Californian ?
in terms of A Night To Remember: the whole film is on youtube for anyone that is interested. It's quite telling to see how much was lifted from it and put into Titanic 1997!
There is also a book 📖
It's not lifted from it it's what happened.
@@paulanthony5274 Several parts of A Night to Remember were *fictionalized for drama*
Cameron just made carbon copy scenes thinking "nobody would notice".
Lifted from it? More like unashamedly ripped off. Some lines of dialogue is identical.
I've always wondered since watching the movie "Titanic" if they actually locked the gates to the people in steerage so they couldn't get up on deck when it started to sink. If they did, I find that indefensible.
They did not. It was one of the many myths played up for drama.
@@pauls064 true but they may as well had, you know good and damn well they didn't give 2nd thought to those on the lower decks staff included.
From some of the stories, it didn’t matter, by the time some people (2nd & 3rd class) heard about the news, all the lifeboats were gone.
@@pauls064yes, gates were locked but not on purpose.
@@lisamorrison214 nope
The first male interviewee who smiles as he describes the tragedy as ‘romantic’ and ‘projects’ himself onto the boat imagining he is JJ Astor and others is very disturbing. What a ghoul.
The ship hadn’t yet been discovered when this was filmed. They had no idea what would happen two years later.
Captain is at fault. He could smell ice. He knew there were icebergs.
The whole industry was at fault they all knew deep down that it was dangerous to just speed through the ice
