Guy's baked

She was miles/kilometers away, it would have been almost impossible unfortunately And even if some succeeded in reaching the shore, they would quickly realize that it was more breakers and cliffs than beaches

The crew in charge of normally launching the lifeboats were stuck in the cargo elevators (they were preparing the luggages of the passengers for the arrival in port) when the power went down And with such high pressure on the crew actually launching them and the way the ship listed so badly, the way the people rushed to board them and the quick sinking of the ship - I think we would have all messed up here honestly

We are talking about a 44.000 tons ship, I unfortunately don’t think that airbags would help here 😅

@@whillard2447 We raise ships and artifacts with this very method. I'm sure we could calculate it. We did manufacture a giant and heavy ship with air in it to float. It holds itself upright just fine. I did say, keep afloat longer. I asked to know if airbags are a thing, not an opinion on function.

Hey, you’re right ! I’ve just learned that right now thanks to you, I always assumed that an even keel was having the ship upright :0

At 4:22 😅

Well, it was - indeed

@@whillard2447 Some people dont think it was a war crime whence why I commented that.

@@mrbig4514 Yes indeed, but in this case you can just remove the "I believe" part - because it’s already the true ^^’

No it was not a war crime. But it is HIGHLY debated if it was. Lusitania was carrying ammunition. Germany knew about that and thus made it a legitimate target for them. The Hague Convention of 1907 allowed to attack civilian ships, if they transported military supplies. Germanys unrestricted submarine warfare though violated establish principles of warfare at the time. Because submarines were a new thing and it was said to warn ships before they engange in an attack. But thats a different topic. So ultimately, by the laws of the time, no it was certainly not a war crime. Yet it remains a highly morally and politically, controversial act to attack a civilian liner. The broader concept of war crimes, particularly the protection of civilians, would develop later in the 20th century after the atrocities of both World Wars.

The germans had no idea about the ammunitions, they just said that she carried some in order to justify its sinking - bu they could have never known It’s just pure luck for the germans that she indeed carried ammunitions

And the germans could have never known for certain that she carried ammunitions… it’s a warcrime

He already did, he’s the animator for Titanic : Honor & Glory ; and Oceanliner Designs ;)

The only issue is that the germans had no idea she was carrying ammunitions… it was only pure luck for them that she happened to carry some in her cargo

Of course, the guy with the German sounding name says this.

She did transported ammutions, but the german had no idea she was - they only said that she was in order to justify its sinking, it was just pure luck for them that she did carried some

The crew that were normally in charge of operating the lifeboat were stuck in the elevators of the cargo holds as they were taking luggages up to get the passengers stuff ready for the arrival in port - and the crew that was then lowering the lifeboats weren’t trained well enough… and the pressure put on them as the ship sinks and lists so quickly underneath them with hundreds of people trying to save themselves… I can understand why so many lifeboats failed to be launched

Yes, she was Agonizingly close enough to see it, but too far to swim to it

Because the torpedo is underwater and she’s as long as a truck - the wake takes a few seconds before reaching the surface

It’s a wave 🌊

@@whillard2447 It was sarcasm from my part :)

@@thetruth7633 oh, my bad then lol

This is supposed to be a sinking animation, at least the passengers are modeled and moving - I’ll invite you to try to animate hundreds of people in crows like this And we now better know how the ship sank, that’s what researches are here for

While it did helped America to choose which side to join in the conflict, the Lusitania wasn’t the main reason for the US to enter the war - almost 2 years after this tragic war crime

When Jack is talking about wooden bulkheads, he’s referring to the wood paneling - the watertight bulkheads were made out of steal like the rest of the hull, and Lusitania could withstand having 2 of them flooded However, with the watertight doors opened - the initial explosion could have jammed some of them and stop them from closing ; while the second explosion might have simply obliterated some bulkheads - making Lusitania sink faster (I’m not sure if some of her portholes were opened, if so it could have played a significant role into this quick sinking)

@@whillard2447 makes sense, thx, sounds like lusitania and britannic suffered a similar fate

Well, as he said - he just wanted to give Lusitania a 'bloody nose' and wasn’t expecting the torpedo damages to be so severe toward the ship Even his torpedo officer said that the destruction caused by this single torpedo were unusually heavy, they didn’t expected to sink her at all - Captain Schwiegger also said that he couldn’t even dare to fire a second torpedo into this mess of people trying to save their souls, and dived his submarine back to 20 meters as he thought that she was escorted

@whillard2447 not the point, anyone foolish enough to fire a torpedo at a passenger liner needs to be charged like the insane criminal he was! No one can convince me that he thought ANY contact to the ship from that much TNT would only result in a "blood nose" is not mentally stable enough to even be on a sub, much less captain one.

@@heels-villeshoerepairs8613 Well, one day you’ll learn about war-crime and how U-Boats operated in the English channel, but I do believe him when he said he only expected to give her a bloody nose, if it wasn’t for the second boiler explosion the ship might have stayed afloat And I think that his torpedo officer is more qualified than any of us here to know if the damages caused by his arsenal are unusually severe or not Beside, Captain Schwieger died during WWI in September of 1917 in the North Sea

The Lusitania was supposed be a diplomatic ship (transporting passengers and diplomats from both countries, it was the only way since passenger airplanes didn’t existed… hence why oceanliners were there) and was thought to be fast enough to evade any U-Boat threat (and she was), unlike most of the Royal Navy ships She was a passenger ship, attacking her was a war crime - but U-20 having a plain sight on her really only depended on pure luck, as she steamed away back to the Atlantic Ocean because she was arriving too early to enter the river Mersey and would have had to wait The US didn’t joined the war because Lusitania sank, it took them almost 2 years afterwards to join the conflict - but Lusitania sinking sure helped them to decide which side to join in the war

He’s using Unreal Engine 5 :)

@@whillard2447 Thanks. I'll check it out !

They had absolutely no clue about what the ship was carrying, except passengers The weapons ammunitions allegations were just an attempt to make it a justifiable target - even though it was indeed true, they didn’t knew for sure if it was So they simply targeted a passenger liner, encountering it by pure luck - if it really was a target of war, it would have been pursuit

Well U-20 only had its periscope peaking out of the water - nothing else, how do you want to be stealthy if you’re at the surface like a normal ship?
