Hey Robert. She must have had some interesting stories to tell. I recently read that even the survivors were greeted with an absolute downpour once they made it to safety in America. Imagine spending all that time dodging the flooding doomed ship, then spending all that time in a crowded lifeboat, and then when you're finally safe, being greeted by a downpour of rain.

They needed each other to rebuild Britain during WW1...

Yes, it did sunk that ship, because it was very possible. Also, you need to consider the speed the ship was traveling, more than 23 miles per hour, which makes the impact even worse.

The most terrifying detail I ever read was that the survivors in the lifeboats could actually hear an implosion beneath them as that massive ship made her final descent. Especially in the pitch-black of the moonless night with hundreds of screams, having so much happening underneath them that they couldn't see would have been enough to snap _my_ sanity.

In the UK it goes way back in the times of old kings and queens and even today we still have a class system in the UK. I'm middle class as I'm educated but not rich but then there are others like simple labourers who are deemed working class. We shouldn't be labelled that way but we are.

There was an original British Titanic movie before the 90's one which is more accurate and didn't have the love story. It also had a few facts at the end. It's an excellent movie.

Something important I’ve learned; the discovery of the Titanic was monumental in confirming the stories of many woman and children and no longer making them feel crazy or hysterical in the eyes of these “naval professionals”. almost every survivor said they saw the ship break in half and stand upright, and of course, all the confident men denied that was possible. That is until the bow and stern were discovered thousands of feet apart.

@@anonnieman The WSL was responsible for the "unsinkable" label. It appeared in one of their earliest brochures (1910) on the Olympic class liners. which were still under construction, and was taken up as "fact." It was published uncritically in Shipbuilder magazine with the word "practically" added to "unsinkable," and was kept going by an intense word-of-mouth campaign being driven by none other than the WSL people themselves, including Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews of Harland & Wolff. This was all at the height of the Industrial Revolution when many people truly believed that man had finally conquered Nature, or at least stake out a safe place for himself. The Olympic class liners were very safe ships by any standards, probably even safer than many of the ships that are sailing today; but as one person posted here, they weren't meant to go ramming over an iceberg at 22.5 knots - not even an icebreaker would try to do that. The iceberg found the Titanic's Achilles Heel. "Practically unsinkable" also comes with an obvious qualifier: "practically"? It means "realistically," "sensibly," "reasonably," "nearly," "all but," etc. Even then, you can see, the WSL was sort of hedging its bets, since it knew full well there was no such thing as an unsinkable ship.

The problem was to make this voyage at a time of the year when there was a lot of ice in the North Atlantic.The crew received a lot of warning about icebergs but still kept a dangerous high speed because they wanted to arrive in New York earlier so that the press would talk about how fast the ship was.There were some naval engineering mistakes,not enough lifeboats,the boats were not filled with people to its full capacity,there was no consideration for the 3rd class passengers,so many mistakes.They could have better observation instruments for the men who were watching out for icebergs like some nautic telescope or binoculars.The sea was calm,there was no fog,they could have seen the iceberg from a distance enough to dodge it.

Even Officer Lightoller testified that had he known that ice was so close to Titanic, he would have slowed the ship down. In his own words, "That piece of paper would have saved that great ship." The blue colour of the berg was what helped hide it against the dark blue horizon until the last minute. As for Ismay wishing to increase speed, it was Titanic's first voyage, so he was discussing a possible speed run, weather permitting, on Monday morning for the ship to test its engines.

It's so crazy to me hearing both of their stories from different classes of society period one at the time was only worried about luggage and the other 1 was worried about his life.

It is also crazy to me realizing now how accurately James Cameron got his movie hearing them talk about the band playing music. Even then playing with the ice on deck after the iceberg was hit.

James Cameron’s movie is one of the most beautiful movies ever made in the history. Outside of the small numbers of boat at their disposal, the third class should have been made aware of not being saved in case of a catastrophe. Maybe they would have not travelled with the Titanic. It must have been difficult to watch the ship drowning from afar and they were just not talking to each other because they didn’t know each other.

That's the thing though, regulations and industry practice at the time was that lifeboats were not intended to carry every single occupant of the ship, but rather ferry people onto another ship that had arrived to rescue. The thought was that overloaded lifeboats, especially on the open ocean, will capsize anyway or the occupants will succumb to exposure anyway if no rescue arrives, and that barring an extreme case most ships in distress only list or take one water partially and are in a condition to limp to port or be towed with a skeleton crew once the passengers have been offloaded to another ship. So it wasn't that the third class were chosen not to be saved, it was that a fast sinking before rescue arrived was deemed so unlikely that it wasn't considered. The Titanic disaster did change those regulations and also how ships communicate and organise rescue, rules about SOS messages were tightened and rescue flare meaning was made less ambiguous.

​@@G1NZOU That information is not true the Titanic owners simply violated the Safety standards of that era. The purpose of life boats are to simply saves lives. The Titanic had only 20 lifeboats. That's enough for only more than half of its passengers. According to Maurice Clarke the Titanic's safety officer. The Titanic needed to have had 10 more lifeboats. The owners knew this but still refused. They wanted to depart on time and, they didn't want the lifeboats to spoil the view on deck. The Titanic Owners simply lied and, threatened there safety officer into silence. This new info has just recently resurfaced. Therefore the death of so many lives were due to illegal actives of the arrogant rich.🤔😥

exactly now, 2.20 am, 100 years ago, the titanic sank. all people who died in this tragedy, rest in peace. you will not be forgotten.

The last Titanic survivor was Millvina Dean who died in February 2009 at a Nursing home aged 97 years. (She was only a 6 week old baby when she was on titanic).

Something sort of struck me while watching this; At the time it was filmed, the Titanic sat all alone at the bottom of the north Atlantic, not yet discovered, completely untouched for decades already. She would have been in far better shape than she is now but rotting and deteriorating, nonetheless. Many of the people that were onboard the night she sank, didn't even live to see her discovered. I can't imagine what it was like for those who were still alive, though, when footage was first released of the wreck. I would imagine, at that point, that they had long dealt with any traumas the sinking had created and that it's probably safe to say that it all came rushing back like a ton of bricks.

Ocean Gate Expedition disaster brought me here. Rest in peace for those on board and for the Titanic passengers. May they all find peace.

MMLF 7619 I believe they were also concerned of being swamped. A boat that did go back was piloted by one of the crew members. He waited to go back, because he was afraid if they went back too soon they’d be tipped over by so many panicking people. They waited. I believe less than 20 people were saved from the water because of this. Fun fact, the pig in this video was musical, played music. Another man took a Bible he’d promised his brother he’d always carry until they met again.

Absolutely incredible that there were any survivors at all let alone video interviews with some of them.

It's so interesting to hear the different classes speak about things that happened either during the trip and the disaster. How first class were so worried about stuff and the third were just trying to survive. It's almost as if the urgency wasn't the same. First class certainly assumed they would be saved first and they weren't wrong. It's really sad to think how we as humans never learn or change.

We visited a traveling exhibit of the Titanic several years ago in Flint, Michigan. It was very respectfully presented. We received a name of one of the passengers on each of our tickets and as we went through the exhibit, we saw information about many of them. Personal artifacts retrieved from the ruins and ocean floor were displayed, and a large display of what the water temperature felt like at that time, which was painfully cold. By the end of the exhibit, we found out if our passenger lived or died. It was a very somber, but realistic exhibit which empathetically and with dignity personified the people and this tragic event. The feelings from seeing this stayed with me for a long time. My utmost respect to everyone who endured that event. May they all rest in eternal peace.

I’ve heard stories about people saying they were about to board the titanic but ended up going on another ship. That just gives me chills. Imagine seeing what ended up happening and realizing if u decided to go on that ship u might not have made it out alive.

This must've been insanely traumatic to have experienced.

hearing that the sound in the area after the ship went down was something like the roar of a baseball stadium, except it was all people screaming in agony, must've been horrific -- and then the slow fade as every voice eventually went silent

This is random, but I've seen the traveling Titanic exhibit twice. They'll give you a passenger slip at the beginning, and at the end you see whether or not you were among the survivors. Both times I was among the deceased which doesn't really surprise me, but it is so heartbreaking to visually see the list of names of all those who perished. I have always been fascinated with the Titanic from a young age. My Meemaw was alive when Titanic happened and I wish I asked her about any memories she had of that time. Such a tragedy.

My great grandmother was born in 1906 and was from Sweden. Her name was Fauma. When I was 8 years old, a year before she died, I asked her if she remembered anything from 1912 and what happened with the Titanic. She told me that it was "very sad" and that her father and mother were very sad when they heard the news, and she was a little girl playing with her toys. I still think its crazy that she lived nearly 100 years. She saw the 21st century. She used to tell me a lot of stories about Sweden during World War 1. Crazy honestly when I think back to it. I'm nearly 25 now and I still remember some of her stories.

Olympic (unseaworthy) was scuttled having a Titanic nameplate attached, for an insurance claim ($21 Million). White Star-line was owned by J.P. Morgan, facing bankruptcy, plus a coal miners strike in 1912 restricted ocean Liner travel. The Californian who's only cargo was wooly jumpers {basically empty} left the previous day & waited to pick up the Titanic passengers. Typical incompetence caused the Captain of the Californian not to recognize the Titanic & thus ignored its distress signals. After a court trial the Captain of the Californian, was never allowed to Captain another ship. The Iceberg is a Big Lie Pure & Simple.

They didn't make snowballs in the film but they did kick the ice around.

How many came here after the recent implosion of the Titan Submersible? So many similarities the Captain of the Titanic had been warned of the ice, yet he stayed at full speed to appease the ships owners. The same thing happened with the Titan Submersible Stocken Rush the CEO of OceanGate was warned.

I just watched the titanic again (after 100x by now). And I still cry like a baby. My heart will forever be broken. Seeing the kids get tucked in bed killed me. The baby frozen in it’s mother’s arms in the ocean..... this world confuses me :(

@@Mr.Body_CatcherI would spend it on a history museum on the titanic instead. A lot cheaper and safer

well said. great listening thank you.

The Titanic has been a story that has fascinated me for many years, never more so than last week when I met my mum and sister in Liverpool where they were docked on the cruise ship Britannia which is massive compared to Titanic. Liverpool is where the Titanic was registered although she was never actually in that port and the city has the Titanic Museum there too, along with many depictions of that grand ship in and around the docks. It was humbling looking at the enormous ship Britannia and I thought about being on the Titanic when disaster struck and tried to imagine how those people must have felt on that fateful night in 1912. When later discussing lifeboats with my family members, we were shocked to learn that the modern day cruise ships only carry enough lifeboats to accommodate 37.5% of passengers each side so 75% in total, along with life rafts for the crew! Modern cruise ships are massive and awe-inspiring to look at close up but I do not think they can match the grandeur and elegance of a ship like the Titanic. Despite the disaster of that night, it is a story that fascinates many people still and seeing these lucky survivors and hearing their first hand accounts of that night makes it all the more real and terrifying somehow!
