    I think it would be kind of like being in a war. Your buddies and fellow soldiers are screaming in terror as they are dying all around you. Miraculously you should survive and make it back home safely. I’ve heard people say that that stays with them for the rest of their lives and they never do get it out of their head. My uncle was a door gunner in Vietnam and for the longest time he wouldn’t talk anything about it, if a military helicopter flew over the trailer he’d run outside and start shaking, and to this day he won’t watch a war movie. But I do think he’s talked a little about some of it with my aunt in recent years. But she said it was a long time before he was doing that. The survivors of titanic were I’m sure haunted by their experience for the rest of their lives too.

    Life jacket imput , the titanic and all ships of that era used solid cork filling as flotation. Modern most modern ( except for recerational jackets ) are inflatable . And my naval training they beat into up in boot camp , if you have to go into the water never inflate your life jacket until you are in the water. So if you jump into the water with a solid jacket or an inflated jacket you are reducing your chances of survival. Also not on cork vests if you just drop over the side or let the ship sink under you , they can still kill you, the cork vest aboard the PS General Slocum were so old the filling disintagrated and instead of being boyant was like wearing a back of concrete powder around your neck.

    When you were talking about the lifejacket breaking your neck, what I believe was more likely isn't a broken neck, but rather an internal decapitation. Especially if you were fully vertical when you hit the water. Now, if you were at an angle that is close to fully horizontal, then yes. Your neck would probably be broken. If you were unlucky enough to jump and hit a propeller on the way down, see the 1997 film, then all bets go out the window because the rotational speed of your body would cause you to quickly black out, if not die, from the sheer g force

    A little earlier, after helping to load the lifeboats on the port side, Colonel Archibald Gracie and his friend James Clinch Smith had made their way to the starboard side.They too began to help with the last boats. While Lightoller and Hemming worked on Collapsible B,Colonel Gracie helped First Officer Murdoch and others get Collapsible A down from the roof of the officers’ quarters. Colonel Gracie couldn’t help thinking, “What was one boat among so many eager to board her?” A crew member shouted out,wanting to know if anyone had a knife to cut the lashings.Gracie tossed up his penknife.The men scurried to lean oars against the wall of the officers’ quarters, hoping to break the fall of the boat so that this last hope would not shatter. Finally it tumbled down onto the deck, breaking several oars on the way. That was the moment when the ship seemed to dive forward and seawater surged toward them.Colonel Gracie and Clinch Smith looked for the nearest high place.They tried to jump onto the roof of the officers’ quarters. It was no good.Their bulky coats and clumsy life preservers got in the way. As Gracie landed back on deck from his first jump,the water struck him on his right side.Thinking fast, he crouched down, and then, like riding a wave at the beach, he pushed off and leaped again.This time he let the force of the surging water propel him forward and up onto the roof. He was now a little farther aft, lying on his stomach on top of the first class entrance above the grand stairway, not far from the base of the Titanic’s gigantic second funnel.Colonel Gracie gasped for breath and looked around for his friend. But Clinch Smith - and many others - had disappeared from sight. “. . .the wave . . . had completely covered him, as well as all people on both sides of me,” he said. He had no time to grieve.The ship was now sinking - the deck disappearing fast. “. . . before I could get to my feet I was in a whirlpool of water,swirling round and round, as I still tried to cling to the railing as the ship plunged to the depths below. “Down, down I went: it seemed a great distance.” Harold Bride was also caught in the wave. Minutes before, he’d gone to where Lightoller and others were trying to free the last collapsible boats from the roof of the officers’ quarters. “I went up to them and was just lending a hand when a large wave came awash of the deck. “The big wave carried the boat off. I had hold of an oarlock, and I went off with it.” At about 2:15 a.m., just a short distance away from Colonel Archibald Gracie, Jack Thayer could see the water rising up over the deck,the ship going down at a fast rate,the sea coming right up to the bridge.The crowd kept pushing back toward the stern,which was still dry. Shock and terror showed on people’s faces. Without warning,the ship seemed to start forward and sink at a lower angle. Jack heard a rumbling roar and what seemed to be muffled explosions. As the bow sank lower,the weight of the water was straining the ship’s steel structure to the breaking point. Jack couldn’t believe the sound: “It was like standing under a steel railway bridge while an express train passes overhead,mingled with the noise of a pressed steel factory and the wholesale breakage of china.” Jack and Milton decided to jump into the water at the last second and then swim as fast as they could away from the ship to avoid being dragged down by suction or hit with debris. “We had no time to think now,only to act,” said Jack. “We shook hands, wished each other luck. I said, ‘Go ahead, I’ll be right with you.’” Milton went first, disappearing over the rail. Jack never saw him again. Then it was his turn. Ole Abelseth also saw that time was running out. “. . .we could see the water coming up,the bow of the ship was going down, and there was a kind of an explosion. “We could hear the popping and cracking, and the deck raised up and got so steep that the people could not stand on their feet on the deck. So they fell down and slid on the deck into the water right on the ship.Then we hung onto a rope in one of the davits.We were pretty far back at the top deck.” Like Jack,Ole and his companions wanted to wait until the very end to leave the ship.By the time Ole was ready “. . . it was only about five feet down to the water when we jumped off. It was not much of a jump.Before that we could see the people were jumping over.There was water coming onto the deck, and they were jumping over,then out in the water. “My brother-in-law took my hand just as we jumped off; and my cousin jumped at the same time.When we came into the water, I think it was from the suction - or anyway we went under, and I swallowed some water. I got a rope tangled around me, and I let loose of my brother-in-law’s hand to get away from the rope.” One thought came into his mind: “I am a goner.”

    This is why it's important to use several sources. With titanic a lot of enthusiasts take one person's statement as fact sadly. This is where fiction, assumption and fact are different. Research isn't quoting a witness - it is ensuring it can be corroborated and then quoting. It's also amazing the number of people quoting a "computer game" as a source, when it hasn't a great track record of reliability in its own right.

    Nine-year-old Frankie Goldsmith had woken up to find his mother rushing to get him dressed.His father told him they needed to put on life belts and get into a boat. Far from being scared, Frankie was excited.The last few days had been an amazing adventure.He’d been able to climb on the rigging and catch glimpses of the Titanic’s heart,where men toiled nonstop, feeding the furnaces to keep the lights on and make the ship run. And now here was another new experience - a chance to be lowered way,way down to the water in a lifeboat. Frankie was too young to realize that what was about to happen would change his life forever. “We young kids had experienced such a good and exciting time the past several days all over the ship where young third-class lads had been permitted to go,that being allowed into one of those lifeboats, at last,was GREAT! “ ‘If we are going out in a lifeboat we’d better take something with us,’” he told his parents excitedly. So he stuffed his overcoat pockets with some of the fruit candies they’d brought along for seasickness. From their third class cabin, Frankie and his parents made their way to the spot where a crewman stood by a gate leading up to the Boat Deck. Here was a surprise: Frankie learned that only women and children were being let through; his father would have to stay behind. “Dad put his arm around mother, kissing her,” said Frankie. “He then reached down, hugged my shoulders and said . . . ‘So long, Frankie. I’ll see you later.’” Frankie didn’t realize what that good-bye must have meant to his father. And like Jack Thayer, Frankie would never see his dad again. Alfred Rush,who’d been traveling with them,was proud to have turned sixteen on Sunday.He felt grown up now.And perhaps that’s why, although this crewman would have let him through with the women and children, Alfred jerked his arm out of the sailor’s hand. “ ‘No! I’m staying here with the MEN!’” he cried. Frankie’s mother pleaded with him, but he would not go.Alfred Rush died in the sinking.His body was never found. Frankie and his mother began to make their way as best they could to the lifeboats. It was not an easy route. “Mother and I were then led with the other ladies and children to a steel ladder located just to the rear of the ship’s fourth funnel.We all climbed it, and upon reaching the floor of the deck on the port side,the group moved forward, carefully,so as not to be tripped up by ropes and things lying on the deck, apparently left from previous launchings of the lifeboats.” As they approached the lifeboat, Frankie and his mother found themselves in a crowd of panicking passengers.Many from third class were just beginning to realize that almost all the lifeboats were gone.Men were blocking their way, crowding around Collapsible C. Hearing shouts, a first class passenger named Hugh Woolner and a Swedish friend named Mauritz Björnström-Steffanson,whom he’d met on board,ran over and began helping the officers pull men out of the lifeboat to make room for women and children. “I got hold of them by their feet and legs,” Hugh said. Caught up in the confusion, Emily Goldsmith wasn’t going to let anything happen to her little boy.When a man pushed in front of them and blocked their way,she dropped Frankie’s hand and pushed the man aside. “Seconds later,we were helped aboard the almost-full lifeboat,” said Frankie. Frankie’s mother, Emily, acted in the only way she knew to save her child. The two escaped in Collapsible C,the last lifeboat to actually be launched from davits on the starboard side. As she watched Collapsible C being loaded, another mother, Emily Goldsmith’s new friend,Rhoda Abbott,made a fateful decision.Rhoda and her two sons,Rossmore and Eugene, had also managed to make their way to the Boat Deck, climbing a steel ladder onto the stern and walking on the slanting deck over ropes still left from the boats already launched.But only women and children were being loaded. Since her boys were teenagers,she felt sure they would be considered too old and not let through. She didn’t want to take that chance.Rhoda Abbot stepped back to be with her sons. The boat was lowered without them.Then, all at once, J.Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, jumped into it. People would question Ismay’s decision to save himself - when more than a thousand passengers, including boys like Alfred,Rossmore, and Eugene,would die - for the rest of his life

    Charles Lightoller watched the final moments of the Titanic from his precarious perch on Collapsible B. When the lights went out, “. . .the huge bulk was left in black darkness, but clearly silhouetted against the bright sky.Then,the next moment,the massive boilers left their beds and went thundering down with a hollow rumbling roar,through the bulkheads, carrying everything with them that stood in their way.” He knew the end was near. “The huge ship slowly but surely reared herself on end and brought rudder and propellers clear of the water till, at last she assumed an absolute perpendicular position. In this amazing attitude she remained for the space of half a minute.Then . . .she silently took her last tragic dive to seek a final resting place in the unfathomable depth of the cold gray Atlantic,” he said. Around him everyone breathed two words, “ ‘She’s gone.’” It was 2:20 a.m

    Video idea: ramon artagaveytia, uruguayan survivor of the wreck of a ship called the America that sank between Argentina and Uruguay, lived with a mental trauma for 40 years until once he felt safe to travel again, he boarded the titanic and didn't survive. This is an incredible true story

    One of my favorite moves/documentary about Titanic is Ghost of the Abyss. Bill Paxton said it best “one can only think about how you would have acted that night” would you accept your fate, that you were never going to see your loved ones again. How would you have acted that night reaching the boat deck knowing you were never going to get a seat on a life boat. The freezing water was going to be the last you felt, alone in the dark waiting to die.

    As well as life jackets breaking people's necks, I also read that many people drowned by plunging from a great height, because the submerged a good fifteen to twenty feet under water. The shock of the cold water caused an involuntary gasp and intake of water, which for several people, was enough water to drown them. Furthermore, young children were known to flip upside down, because their heads were heavier than their bodies. This was also apparent on the Wilhelm Gustlov that was torpedoed in 1945, where the life jackets were pretty much the same design as on Titanic.

    I really like your reasoning of the breakup and final plunge. As of now, I’m indecisive about what I think but I tend to lean towards the theory put forth by Titanic Animations. The channel has a very compelling video detailing the breakup and the physics that would’ve had to occur. Anyway, thanks for the great content!

    When I was 12 years old, we visited the Wonderworks Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC and they had an exhibit on the Titanic. One of the activities included immersing your hands in 28-degree salt water for 30 seconds before attempting to screw a nut and bolt together under the water. This ordinarily simple task was not only made quite painful, but also impossible. Despite your brain telling your hands what to do to accomplish the task, your hands wouldn‘t respond. This was a great demonstration of the loss of the loss of motor skills associated with being submerged in freezing water. Metabolism grinds to a halt and muscle impulses, including the ones that keep your heart beating, will stop firing. I remember thinking how death must have come as a welcome relief to so many of these people.

    Lawrence Beesley, safe in a lifeboat ,struggled to describe the sounds of the dying ship. “It was partly a roar, partly a groan, partly a rattle, and partly a smash . . . it was a noise no one had ever heard before, and no one wishes to hear again: it was stupefying, stupendous, as it came to us along the water,” he wrote. “When the noise was over the Titanic was still upright like a column:we could see her now only as the stern and some 150 feet of her stood outlined against the star-specked sky, looming black in the darkness, and in this position she continued for some minutes . . .” he went on. “Then, first sinking back a little at the stern, I thought, she slid slowly forwards through the water . . .”

    This video is really good. One of the great things about this channel is that we can get better or more collective narrative that we don't get from just reading message boards or watching movies and documentaries ....for example you can hear about Archibald Gracie or the wireless operators or Jack Thayer jumping into the water, but to see where they were in relation to each other or to be placed in a chronological order is great...your videos can provide a good overview that piece together what we get in the documentaries or your videos just focus on questions that I've always wondered about...like the video on what happened right after the sinking.... hoping that you'll do a video or give estimates on where each lifeboat was...I've seen general maps of the iceberg field on the night of the sinking and again it gives you an idea of the danger that the Titanic was steaming into... It would be great to see a video on where the lifeboats were and who was in them and their launch times so when we read the survivor stories we can get a picture of where that person's vantage point was....or what some of the passengers were doing and seeing as the Titanic was sinking...for example there was a documentary where an eyewitness account mentioned a women waiting with her young one and they were plunking away on the piano that was maybe in the third class general room.??.and how many passengers didn't know what was going on.... I always wonder about how they spent the last precious moments of their lives.
