It's quite amazing really. Imagine April 15th 1912, around 700 people have survived the disaster. The worst thing they'll ever experience but then a mere 2 years later World War I breaks out. Then the Great Depression, World War II, Vietnam and Chernobyl. These 7 people saw it all and survived. RIP
During the 70s and 80s there seems to have been a big push to capture these survivors' testimonies on video before the opportunity was lost. I'm so glad that they did and that we can hear them now.
@@stevemuzak8526 Eh, some of them didn't want to talk about it and never did for the rest of their lives. People were different back then----they were encouraged to just suck it up if something was uncomfortable and not talk about anything difficult. Which is really unfortunate for us because I would have loved to have seen footage of many more interviews with survivors.
I cried a little bit when frank prentice was talking about everything going quiet and he felt like he was the only one left in the water. His way of telling the story is very moving
In all the vision I have seen and heard about the Titanic over the last 60 years, the silence has been the one thing they all agreed on was the most memorable and haunting of the whole traumatic event.
It's because Big Pharma has poisoned our modern elders with cancer, autism, dementia and a whole myriad of "medicine"-caused diseases that people 100 years ago did not know.
That wouldn't even be allowed nowadays because now, if one can think for oneself, if one believes in having good manners and dressing well, and if one is strong instead of sitting back crying "I'm so depressed I can't work, give me welfare and antidepressants" - then one gets labeled "mentally ill" and pumped full of antidepressants which cause dementia and make people end up not even being able to remember their own names.
I wish I could’ve met Frank Prentice. The pain definitely is still in his eyes after all those years later. This was at least 60 years after the disaster.
My Great Grandmother was 21 when this happened. She always said, nothing is perfect, proceed with some caution. Transitioned 109 in 2000, I was 29 years old. She shared so much history on the events during her lifetime. Today Nana would be 130 years old and I feel her love consistently. Its a remarkable vibe to get historical accounts from Survivors.
I am proud to say that, before they all passed away, I had the opportunities to meet and talk to a few of of these wonderful people at conventions for the THS, IN 1982, 1985, and 1987. To this day, have their signatures in my copies of Walter Lord's classic book, "A Night to Remember" and "The Night Lives On." Eva Hart, Edwina (Celia Troutt) McKenzie, Ruth (Becker) Blanchard, Frank Aks, George Thomas, Bertram Dean and his sister, Milvina (the last survivor), Michel Navratil, Louise Pope... all very gracious people, have left their memories in my books forever! Walter Lord, himself, signed both books for me as well! How thrilled I am to have experienced Titanic's history in such a way!
Yeah ive heard stories of passengers of titanic as well as their families having premonitions before their departure and right before their death, some even say they felt it the night of. SpiritSPEAKS
*I understand people being fascinated by the Titanic however, their wishing they had’ve been there is pure stupidity. The remaining survivors are still traumatized from what they witnessed and to them there’s nothing amazing about surviving after witnessing all of those deaths*
Captcha Neon I can't imagine the guilt and helplessness the survivors must have felt as they watched the other guests sink and heard their terrified screams.
The last survivor died YEARS ago, and for that matter, while she certainly was a survivor, she hardly could have been considered a "witness" in the classic sense, seeing as she was, I believe, two months old at the time.
Absolute hell for all those on board. Something none of us can begin to comprehend as we sit in the comfort of our own homes watching RUclips. Nothing romantic about this, folks. RIP
I could listen to Mr. Frank Prentice talk for hours. Just a truly remarkable story of survival. The terror that man must have relived. A true survivor.
My grand mother was supposed to have been on the titanic coming from Finland. But arrived a couple months later on another white starline ship approx two months later. I would not be here if she had taken a earlier ship she arrived in May 1912.
mcalvert54 My grandmother and grandfather were married in November of 1912 and took a cruise. My grandma said the main topic on board the ship was "sure hope we don't sink like Titanic did."
“She’s made of iron, I assure you she can sink” has always stood out with me from the film because it seems so obvious but yet ego told people otherwise and so so many people died as a result.
During titanic era they were putting actual lead yellow paint in mustard to make it look pretty, they did equally bad things with bad chemicals to common food an makeup and medications, so it was much more than ego to believe it was unsinkable 😮
I’ve been on a cruise before. And I will tell you this, at night when you go up on the deck and look out at the ocean, you can’t see nothing. It pitch black. I can’t imagine swimming in that dark, black, cold water. You can’t even see the water when you on the lowest deck at night. It’s so terrifying. I can’t imagine what it was like on the titanic.
My great aunt, Maria Vav Oist survived the sinking , barely, as a third class passenger. She had got her ticket at the last minute and wasn't even registered as a passenger. Til her dying day she cursed the people on the Titanic. She called them selfish, cruel and smug. She told a tale of people in a half filled life boat, bobbing in the water and hearing the screams and cries of the dying while the people in the boats did nothing to help them. She begged them to turn the boat and rescue some people as they had plenty of room. The other passengers said "Why should we help them.? Let the them drown." She used to cry about this til her dying day. She hated all of them for letting innocent people drown and freeze to death when they could have saved hundreds. That is the reality of the Titanic.
That's people with money for you,they are assholes. The only time they are nice to you is when they want something from you,and even then you can tell they are fake. I believe the titanic was a conspiracy.
most likely they would have swamped the life boat, so no. frankly she is a bitch if she decided to hate rich people or middle class people. 92% of the middle class men died on the titanic, and first class men 68% died so if it had not been for their sacrifice your great aunt would not have lived. funny that people role out the class warfare issues but ignor the biggest factor if you lived or died on the Titanic, if you were a male or a female.
Millicent Dogrago nice to hear sumone tell the truth, Maria vav. oist. never new of u but now I have so much respect for her Wat a woman , always be prowd of yor grate aunt she stayed true all her life . And seen first hand Wat peapl can be like
Bang on, not a minute in and too am disgusted at these awful people, terrible thing to start off with when most viewers are here to listen and respect the survivors of that time, not watch vultures take advantage of them. Absolutely shameful!
Beware physics get their powers from Satan not God. And who they are talking to are evil spirits, demons impersonating dead ppl, dead ppl don’t communicate with the living.
No one can never ever Imagine what the survivors faced, those few hours completely changed their lives and gave them a wound that could never be healed.
how naïve of people to just assume a ship is unsinkable... everyone just took someone's word for it. It's really sad how much trust people used to have in authority figures and government or newspapers.
From my home town of Worcester UK, a man called Henry Morley aged 40 died. He owned a chain of sweet shops, but was running away with his young shop assistant aged 19, leaving his wife and daughter behind. They were to start a new life together in America. Henry died and his young mistress Kate Phillips returned home to Worcester. Nine months later she gave birth to a little daughter who had been conceived on the Titanic, her name was Ellen.
@@bullseye1784 yeah pretty much. They are survivors but they weren't even old enough to actually perceive anything going on. They were blissfully ignorant.
Right? It's so weird to think they lived in that era, because to us it almost seems like something right out of a book, like it never really happened. But to them, it's just years from their lives.
+Brittney Moxley They're different things completely. The said era is named after the ruling monarch at the time, that should be fairly obvious. Edwardian came after the Victorian.
most people that were in the water did not drown they died of hypothermia well those who had life jackets on as it kept them upright, I cannot imagine how frightened those poor people were, it is beyond imagination
@@MC-es7oe Ww2 Sailors aboard the USS INDIANAPOLIS would beg to differ on swimming in the Ocean when water is warm surfaced.. Sure better chances for some but that has got to be a nightmare frenzy to..GOD BLESS those souls..
@@ArronP Elderly or ones in poor health go into muscle shock the moment they hit the cold water. Many endured muscle spasm instantly and sure drowned from panic attack,body just locking up The panic,shock of the icy water..(Pre-existing conditions).. A horror and reason the boats had to stay away. 1500 panicking human beings would pounce the closest vessel immediately and sink everyone. The lifeboats should of shuffled people all into few as possible then go back without risking all the women and children with emptied boats. Easy to say in hindsight....Terrible shame.
I could not imagine going through something like that. Especially watching people drown or jump off the boat and just having to watch because there's nothing you can do about it. That must've been absolutely awful
My grandfather immigrated to America from Sicily in May of 1912. He had been diverted from the Titanic. There're so many lessons to learn from the disaster. The ship itself was a work of art. The world of distinct classes. The thoughts of "what would I have done" or "what would I have felt from the time of the announcements". It just will forever fascinate. I went to the exhibition in NYC and got to absorb the reality of it all.
There is much more to this than is told here. 1) Every ship was communicating on a single frequency and the custom was that you never interrupt another ship's transmission. The wireless operator on Titanic was sending passenger messages at the time and was interrupted by California. 2) The transmitters back then had limited range and the further away a message was coming from, the more quiet it was. Titanic was communicating with the coast, so the operator had to have his headphones volume turned all the way up to be able to even hear them. So when all of a sudden a ship that was really close to them started transmitting, it was really loud. The operator even had to tear down the headphones from his head. That's why he got angry.
Growing up in the 70-80s I never thought I’d say it but I miss the 90s which is in my belief, the era of greatest Historical Documentaries (before History Channel became Reality TV) about Events of the 20th century, when you could still hear the survivors first hand after the 1985 discovery of Titanic by Robert Ballard.
Very interesting film thank you for uploading. My great-grandmother on my grandfathers side of the family was actually supposed to board the Titanic but she fell ill the day it left. As fate would have it she gave the neighbors next door to her the tickets and unfortunately they perished that night. R.I.P grandma Dorothy and R.I.P to the neighbors and numerous of other poor souls that perished on that horrible night. Rest in peace
The guy at the beginning who said "we want to be on that ship, we want to be John Jacoby" ahhh no thanks buddy. That's absolutely terrifying just to think what they all went through.
That was seriously odd. He can't have much imagination- unless he means he would have liked to experience the luxury for a day or two and then get off mid-Atlantic before it sank.
Having to jump into that black freezing water next to basically a whirlpool of suction had to have been the most terrifying thing. Not to mention you’re in the ocean at night with who knows what swimming around you
This is a precious piece of film. There is so much to learn from all of the survivors. Especially compelling is the memory from the gentleman who was the assistant to the pursor...when he speaks it looks as if he is holding back tears. At the time of the documentary filming events are still pretty fresh in the memories of the survivors. Titanic was a warning to future maritime ships and to their passengers. "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"... Triangle shirtwaist factory fire...The Titanic...The World Trade Center... Never, never forget....
Lesson from Triangle Shirtwaist fire: A factory should be well protected against fire hazards. Lesson from Titanic: A ship should have enough lifeboats for all its passengers. Lesson from World Trade Center: Uh... don't build... tall buildings? No that's not it... Erm, don't let arabs on a plane?... No that can't be it... Shit, I don't know!
My Grandad just passed away last night, at the grand age of 92. I am here, because of the stories he told me as a child, of his uncles/aunts plus cousins, aboard titanic in steerage. 🤧🥰
So many mistakes,not enough lifeboats,the boats were not properly filled with people to its full capacity,no consideration for the 3rd class passengers
Bearded Sailor they had more than the minimum amount of life boats required by law at the time. The problem was that the life boats were never intended to hold every single passenger simultaneously. They were meant to ferry the passengers from the sinking to the ship to a rescuing ship. They were meant to do that in multiple trips until everyone had been evacuated. Unfortunately for Titanic there was no rescue ship there when she needed it.
@Libby Berman I meannnn it was a very unfortunate chain of events but no one called it unsinkable but the press. The crew themselves said it was “practically unsinkable” although the press twisted their word. Many ships are called unsinkable and make complete careers, though in fairness two of the worst shipwrecks (the Wilhelm Gustloff which took 9,000 souls and the Titanic) were thought to be basically unsinkable and the Nazis even claimed the Bismarck was completely unsinkable and that took 2,000 lives
My great-grandfather, Teodor Mania was on the ship, Carpathia (named after the Carpathian mts. in Romania, muntii Carpati) going to find work in Detroit, Mi (where he worked for a while and returned home to Romania where my grandmother was born and all our family, me as well). The ship saved people coming off the life boats. Carpathia, the ship was also featured in the movie, 1997 Titanic. He later spoke about the passengers that were rescued. Later on when my parents got married, they met a British man (a tourist visiting Romania with a group) while on their honeymoon in Slanic Moldova. This man was a survivor from the Titanic. I thought that was a very fascinating bit of history, esp. the one with my grandfather. During the time, the early part of the 19th century, I know of many families, men esp. who came to find work in the U.S. and would later return to Europe. Some even had children in the U.S. and returned back to Europe with their families. Later on, when life was hard during Communist rule in Eastern Europe many of those children, now adults reclaimed their American citizenship and brought their families to the U.S., esp. Evangelical Christians. I know several families like that.
Yes, Phillips replied “shut up, I’m busy”, he was a young crew member that died that night. He was backed up with messages because the power went out in the communication cabin the night before. He was annoyed at Californian interrupting him sending his messages from passengers and therefore replied “shut up, I’m busy”. Obviously not a cool thing to say. However, he was able to fix the Telegraph machine (despite orders for him NOT to fix it) and make the distress calls. If he didn’t fix it, Carpathia (or any other ship) would have never come to rescue survivors in lifeboats.
I’m 43 and I remember when they discovered the wreck in 1985. I actually brought a video about it for show and tell I was so fascinated as a little kid. Of course the rest of the class was bored to tears. One interesting fact I just learned is only three of the four funnels were actually functional. The fourth was just for show and instead provided ventilation for the lower decks as well as a place to store extra deck chairs. White star designed four funnels because at the time four funnels denoted speed in a ship.
The model of the Titanic in this video is just gorgeous. RIP to all who lost their life on that night, and to all survivors who have since passed on. You won't be forgotten.
peblezQ it’s not “like” in the as if sense .. she flat out did. Isn’t it obvious ? I had horrible intuition / bad feelings prior to being abducted from my own home in broad daylight 20 years ago this December ., was the worst thing I’ve ever known and experienced and had I been able to know to listen and analyze that inner voice as it’s God’s wisdom shared with us , to be able to innately feel and sense energy or perceive what is to come ,. I tried so hard to ignore these feelings but it was too late and I’d suffered being tortured and almost Killed and fought for my life with every breath. I fought to survive and the horrible person had detailed to me exactly how I was going to be killed. When I did manage to survive and police came and took me to the hospital, etc. I had to move immediately from the location and after my statements to police and charges filed , The person was arrested but sent people to kill me and both the friends that I shared a home with. Thankfully we’d all been moved out at urging of officers. They apprehended the people and informed me and I was in complete shock and numb for so long but it’s bn a lifetime of suffering and coping and words can’t express the depth of The suffering I’ve known. Somewhat , what you’d see in a movie, is what I can say. I know not what it’s like to survive on a sinking ship but I do know similarly that level of fear and suffering and looking st ur life knowing you’re about to die. In an instant and all you did was open a door , innocently. These ppl simply rode aboard a ship with no knowledge of their impending doom and yet I do feel the women had gnawing away at her , intuition and knew by feeling that the worst was to come. We all have to listen to that inner voice. Can’t ignore it. We all have the ability to have such intuition but ppl act as though is something mysterious. If they’d simply pay attention they’d realize ..
I had a feeling something was going to happen to my mom and Sister when they were going to church in the evening. So I had to go with them. Church came out at 12am and we got into a car accident with a drunk driver. I just knew I had to be with them. I knew something bad was going to happen. Even my mother knew. She was stressed the day before and the very day, that is why she went to church. She almost got into two accident the same afternoon. So listen to your intuition it is a sign from above. So freaky😂
Kri MD wow! Bless you! Your so strong!!! I hope that things get easier for you as time passes. Your an amazingly strong person to be able to still be here today and openly talk about all that you went through! I’m so grateful you made it here. You inspire me to no end!! I am very wary and paranoid. I stay home alone a lot and walk dogs for a living, so I’m often alone in a big city. I get paranoid that I will be abducted too, so I take a lot of extra precautions. Your story really makes me feel better about all the precautions I take. A lot of family and friends call me paranoid and make fun of the extra steps I take. But your proof that I’m not wasting my time in being cautious. I’m also pretty intuitive as well, your right, we all are. When I sense danger. I try stop or stay away. It’s become very useful to my safety. Thank you for your story, I hope it enlightens others! Your truly inspiring. 💕
Sammmuela Better to be overly prepared than unprepared. Growing up my dad was a bodyguard and I’m guessing his profession made him extra cautious with me. As a kid I always thought he was paranoid, but as an adult I know there’s been situations that could have gone bad had my dad not raised me the way he did. Like he’s always told me, predators seek out unassuming victims, so I’ve always made sure that if I get a weird vibe from someone I make sure they see that I see them (unless the vibe is that they’re gonna rob a place, in that case don’t make eye contact, don’t even look at ‘em lol). Here’s a couple more lil tips thanks to my dads lessons, if someone tries to snatch you, go dead weight. It’s a lot easier to get someone in a vehicle or wherever if the would be victim is already in motion. Lifting a person who’s dead weight, even a small person, is hard, even for a big guy. Also, if you’re ever attacked don’t yell help, yell “fire” at the top of your lungs.
The Californian was treated rudely for their attempt to warn Titanic of big danger 15:16. Maybe a reason why Titanic got the cold treatment from The Californian to blow off the distress rockets which were thought (as I heard somewhere), were used as fireworks to show off their bigness....after all , what use are distress rockets on an 'unsinkable ship' ..(apparent arrogance). The whole mess was fraught with bad luck and bad decisions.
I understand that the rockets were set off sporadically, and not in a continuous stream, one per minute, which would have been recognized as a call for help. Titanic ' s radio operator being rude to Californian's operator would have had no bearing on her response to a distress call. Had they known Titanic was sinking and it was possible to get through the ice surrounding her, they would have done their best to get there.
kenneth britton well the rockets they were letting off were the wrong colour to start with they were supose to be red but they were letting off white rockets
You can see their eyes moving as they speak....they are seeing the things they are talking about , again and again. No doubt these fine people suffered PTSD although no one knew of such a thing - but they simply carried on. I understand that many survivors declined all interviews as they simply could not and would not relive their experience on demand. Godspeed to these fine people.
I’ve always been fascinated with the history of Titanic and it’s tragedy. I think it’s unimaginable the horror the passengers and crew experienced. The cold, the dark, the screams. I’ve never been on a ship and will probably never because of my fear of sinking.
I grew up on the Niagara River in the 80s and 90s and my parents had sail boats. I also went on a cruise ship to the western Caribbean for my honeymoon in 2007. It was the best vacation ever. I respect the water. I live by Niagara Falls and can’t tell you how many drownings happen every year for the failure to have safety. The Titan sub reminded me of people going in barrels down Niagara Falls.
What a gem of a film. I was amazed at the stories themselves and the eloquence and emotion from these survivors. Heartwrenching and such a lesson for humanity. The fellow was spot on when he nearly cried, "it was murder." For the elite who built the ship it's okay to lose 2,000 people....and no coincidence when they call 3rd class "steerage."
Only watched a bit so far, and I an disgusted by these fans.. they hold no respect for these survivors or what they have been through.. it''s all about them!!!
Do you not think that experiencing an event like this haunts a survivor for the rest of their lives? Many of the people who survived lost their husbands or fathers, or even their sons. Other spent hours on capsized or swamped lifeboats, almost freezing to death, and surrounded by people who wouldn't make it, and every person who survived, even if they didn't lose any loved ones, had to hear the screams of the fouteen hundred and ninty six people who were freezing to death in the ice-cold water. Think about that before you claim it is no big deal for these people just because they survived.
"........I hit the water with a crash, but I didn't hit anything in the water. I was lucky. Very lucky." A terrifying situation he was in, yet, he was still able to say he was lucky. Many people do not see even the slightest morsel of luck in a tragedy as he did.
I've seen quite a few of survivors speak of the Titanic sinking and it's so crazy to me how a handful of those survivors say that they had a bad feeling or premonition that they would meet a disaster boarding the ship 😥
I find it fascinating, to listen to these accounts from survivors. Fascinating and heartbreaking and very interesting. However, the people at the convention where just odd. To hold a film star in the same regard as a survivor or a horrific accident? To smile while listing all the tragic things that happened? Just plain wrong.
@Stef Green because people today have been desensitized to value people’s lives so much that when hearing of tragedy they literally just think of it as a movie and fan out. It shouldn’t be like this but it is.
a life boat picked him up and a lady put her jacket around him. He had told her to get on the life boat earlier in the night. They saved eachother. But her husband died that night.
One of the best movies of a very tragic occurrence. The survivor’s stories are so poignant. My paternal grandmother, one aunt and two uncles came to the U.S. aboard the Carpathia in 1910. The film of the Carpathia was very special to me.
I cannot even imagine the survivor’s guilt from this specific disaster. Hearing terrified screams knowing these people are going to either drown or freeze to death and being far away in a lifeboat knowing you can’t do a goddamn thing.
What I find amazing is there there were a few more than 7 left in 1983. Some still could not come out of the woodwork and speak of the disaster until their final days, years after this was filmed.
Thank you for posting this valuable documentary. Its homely to hear the survivors themselves relate the events as they experienced it. It adds a face to the shock and suffering of that night.
FACT: Every single life aboard the Titanic might have been saved if the SS Californian had sprung into action, which was closer to the sinking ship than the SS Carpathia. Captain Stanley Lord was fired as soon as it became clear that he ignored to take action. Being 15-20 sea miles away (as opposed to 50 for the Carpathia), it would've been possible to save everyone on the Titanic in this calm weather, with nothing but a gentle heave: they had time to come beside her and take all of them on board. From 12:15AM (first CQD signal sent from Titanic), they had 2 hours and 5 minutes before the ship sank: SS Calfiornian could've made that with a maximum speed of 14 knots.The tradition of the sea dictates that if a vessel is in need of help, you go out there. 1,517 bodies now rest at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean because a ship's captain refused to help and denied the warning signs.
Yes the god dam should have gone to investigate. Unfortunately due to arrogance and stupidity they didn’t. They didn’t totally ignore the facts but unfortunately due to the weather that night the icy waters of the sea with the warmer air above was causing cold water mirages meaning the captain though it was a different ship. Also the weather that night meant it was a very clear night- with the stars twinkling couldn’t tell the difference between a signal light and stars or other things that twinkle. Due to the radio man on the Californian being asleep he didn’t pick up the distress calls over the radio. So you see it was a sham from the start. Yes the Californian saw something and didn’t go investigate because they weren’t very bright. After all the captain of the Californian was a very young person for the job and wasn’t the most expected in protocol. In the end he lost his job as he didn’t investigate.
Lost his job? He should have went to jail. It was reported that the crew saw the distress flares from the Titanic and told the captain who then didn't even bother to wake up the radio operator to see what was going on.
I read a book about the Californian. In the book it said that the captain Lord was a raging asshole and his crew was afraid of him. So they didn’t wake him again even when they say the lamp signals cuz they were afraid of him. That many Titanic survivors say Californian was so close they could see her portholes. They figured 5miles off.
This was before they discovered the wreck which proved it broke in half before sinking. Survivors swore it and nobody believed them so they would teach just what this special did.
Very spooky. I was honestly just lost and RUclips and stumbled upon this film. Looked at the date and its 2am April 15 2018. Crazy. May all the victims and passed survivors rest in eternal peace.
Do these people get how bad that must have been for the people of the titanic. ? people are saying they wanted to be john Jacob astor and others no you wouldn't want to be on the ship and went thru what they did and died in freezing water
What the guy says at 4:41 sums up the WHOLE Titanic story!! A tragedy in a nutshell, and once again proof that absolutely NO SHIP ever created by human was, is or will ever be unsinkable!!!
it is one thing to see the titanic movie and read books about the tragedy. It is an entirely diffrent thing when eye witnesses speak of the titanic it is like interveiwing 9/11 witnesses you get a clear idea of what happened.
26:13 Cpt Lord always said that the Californian was 19mi away so she wasn't "there"; Robert Ballard maintains she was only 10mi at the most. In either case she was close enough to go over and help
There is nothing romantic about such inhumanity! This is the one part of history I am just enthralled with for some reason. I am a history lover, but this part just has always set n my heart so heavily!
Lynda Hallock ...yes I agree with you, that fellas views of finding it a romantic is quite strange.... It's the opposite of romantic, it's heartbreak and heartache of the immense loss of love it is just overwhelming. God bless them all, may there souls be flying high in paradise xxx...
He means romantic in the sense where he’s captivated by the story. I don’t think he means he’s romantically involved with titanic. There is most definitely a romanticism involved with the titanic. It’s story and lore is FOREVER burned into the memories of everyone in the civilized world. I think that’s what he means. Of course it’s tragic, awfully depressing what happened. But think of the term “romantic” in the way an author would use it to describe something captivatingly awful. Cheers
THANK YOU for the film. Very informative and enlightening. I especially enjoyed the last 10 minutes showing actual 1912 footage of the Titanic taking off, footage of the crew & passengers ... accompanied by ragtime music of the period. Masterpiece production.
Hedy Ho HEY HEDY HO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE COMPLIMENT. I'VE WRITTEN AND PRODUCED OVER A HUNDRED DOCUMENTARIES AND THEY SELL AT WALL MART, K-MART, TARGET, FRYS, ETC.. MY FATHER WAS A PERFECTIONIST AND I GET IT FROM DAD. I WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS PRODUCTION AND DID A LOT OF RESEARCH WHICH IS NORMAL WHEN YOU DO A DOCUMENTARY. IT'S FUNNY BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'M ACTUALLY READING MY REVIEWS. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE NON BELIEVERS LIKE MR. PASSIVE SMOKING RIGHT BELOW. SO HE GETS STONED AND MAKES UP THINGS. BUT ONE NICE REVIEW LIKE YOURS WIPES OUT THE MORONS! THANK YOU AGAIN. YOU RESTORE MY FAITH IN HUMANITY. DAN DALTON
Actually, the ship in the film was not Titanic but Olympic. Captain Edward Smith RD RNR was in command of her before he was transferred to Titanic. Note his uniform was summer/spring wear and not the winter wear appropriate for Titanics April voyage. Also, The first class promenade deck was wide open on the ship on the film. On Titanic, it was closed in and made into private verandah for the most posh first class. The ship being escorted away from the dock by tug was Olympic. I imagine the filmmaker wanted to catch the idea of the magnitude of the Titanic leaving port and without any fim footage of the Titanic itself its sister ship, exactly the same in all but a handful of ways (some of the improvements on Titanic would later be applied to Olympic) would have to do.
+David Aikman My Great Aunt Mary Anne Perreault was a survivor of the Titanic from Gaspé,Quebec,Canada she was a Maid for a Mr Charles.M Hays,a wealthy business man in Montreal,traveled with the family Hays to London to meet another wealthy Business man name Sir Abe Bailey for a business deal,they left southhampton for New York on april 10 and on the 14 disaster struck, you could read her story on line ,she end up marrying Sir Abe Bailey, Chauffeur Bert Pickett and live in the U.S till her death in 1968 at the age of 90 !!!
21:55 Eva said :"...it's just a question of who was there..." So it just so happened that some people were simply in the right place at the right time and were encouraged to get into the life boats even though they thought the ship was unsinkable and that is how they survived.
This is just a master piece , I've never seen the video over 40 minutes with no any skip on youtube before. what an interesting video I hope this video never gonna deleted , really ..
I am so sorry for those people who lost their loved ones. I am glad they have all been reunited with the ones they had to say goodbye to so many years ago.
Did you know that Ms Ruth was speaking to ppl about her experience on the titanic and she told everyone that she saw the ship broke in half and then when she was done speaking some guy took the microphone back and said that it didn’t really break in half and that was only her perception. She should’ve taken the microphone back and asked him if he was there.
Lots more people could've been saved if the crew and others would've just started disassembling the ship - Removing wooden doors, sending people off on tabletops, or anything that could float and hold a person. Can you imagine how many floatable pieces of architecture and furniture was on a ship that big?
+Mm Thomas The 3rd class was full of Irish and other European immigrants, I'm sure that given the opportunity they could have made dozens of rafts from what was on board.
+Mm Thomas if I were the capt knowing there were not enough life boats and no one to come in time, why not try and off load some passengers onto the iceberg, it would have been cold but at least they would be out of the water and not on a sinking ship. I wonder how far away the ship was when it finally stopped for the last time, was the iceberg in sight? if so they could have been rescued off the iceberg a few hrs later when help arrived, but after titanic went down..
+moskii 1958 By the time they stopped the iceberg was probably mile behind them. That's one reason. Another is it was very high and steep sided. Not so easy even if it were right next to you!
One of the benefits 2nd class passengers had were that their staircase and elevator went straight to the boat deck. Easy access for 2nd class passengers to join 1st class on the boat deck. 3rd class never had that luxury. Which is why Eva Hart's father could get her and his wife to the boat deck quickly.
It just feels so unreal whiching this. I'm so use to seeing the ship under water! Looking like a broken ghost ship. It's hard to believe it ever looked like this and seeing these people that most of them are dead. Feels like it's not real.
I had held a letter from Eva hart (from a friend) where she replied to school children who wrote to her and tells about her father and prices to travel on the ship….
For real? The Titanic responded to another ship that was surrounded by icebergs, "Shut up. I'm busy." ???? Right before it hit one? That's even more arrogant than the statement that she could not sink!! That had hubris written all over it!!
+Rainy Day I DID THIS VIDEO AND THE SHIP THAT WAS NEARBY ALL WENT TO SLEEP EXCEPT THE ONE SAILING IT. THE TELEGRAPH GUY DIDN'T GO TO SLEEP BY ACCIDENT BUT IN THOSE DAYS, THE WHOLE SHIP WENT TO SLEEP. ddaltonnd@gmail.com
The Marconi operator (using morse code to transmit over radio) was transmitting messages from the passengers to the local recieving station and the window for clear transmission was limited. Not that he was right to ignore such an important warning but back then, radio was a novelty and not actually required on the ship. In fact, the 2 Marconi operators werent even considered Titanic crew or even passengers. They worked for Marconi and were "experimentally" on the ship. The operator was swamped with messages he was charged to transmit and was over tired. I agree though, had he not responded so brashly perhaps the captain would have acted differenty considering the number of ice warnings and the closing proximity of the bergs.
There is much more to this than is told here. 1) Every ship was communicating on a single frequency and the custom was that you never interrupt another ship's transmission. The wireless operator on Titanic was sending passenger messages at the time and was interrupted by California. 2) The transmitters back then had limited range and the further away a message was coming from, the more quiet it was. Titanic was communicating with the coast, so the operator had to have his headphones volume turned all the way up to be able to even hear them. So when all of a sudden a ship that was really close to them started transmitting, it was really loud. The operator even had to tear down the headphones from his head. That's why he got angry.Plus, they had already received multiple ice warnings just like this one from other ships. Even if they hadn't told them to shut up and delivered this message to the captain too, it wouldn't have changed anything.
I can only imagine the memory flashbacks and images that went through the survivor's heads as they were talking about the sinking. Especially the one about the dreadful silence that followed after everyone was dead.
One of the survivors said that there was no small talks or anything like that on the rescue boats, so it literally was silent after the Titanic completely sunk
It's quite amazing really. Imagine April 15th 1912, around 700 people have survived the disaster. The worst thing they'll ever experience but then a mere 2 years later World War I breaks out. Then the Great Depression, World War II, Vietnam and Chernobyl. These 7 people saw it all and survived. RIP
What a crazy life! been through and seen so much in their lives
Sure maybe some of them thought in Vietnam
And the Spanish Flu 1918 and some of them to witness the moon landing
@@Mrlrobertson never landed on the moon its bullshit
Also the hindberg blimp..crazy time to be alive
R.I.P to all that died on April 14/15 1912.

This is awesome that you include these names. This helps remove the tragedy from sensationalism and makes it about the loss of real people.
During the 70s and 80s there seems to have been a big push to capture these survivors' testimonies on video before the opportunity was lost. I'm so glad that they did and that we can hear them now.
Sam here...it's actually nice to at least see their faces and hear their voices.
That was the best thing that ever happen for the survivors. They get the opportunity to share their stories.
@@stevemuzak8526 Eh, some of them didn't want to talk about it and never did for the rest of their lives. People were different back then----they were encouraged to just suck it up if something was uncomfortable and not talk about anything difficult. Which is really unfortunate for us because I would have loved to have seen footage of many more interviews with survivors.
@@stevemuzak8526 pretty sure the best thing was simply surviving!
It makes me wonder if, during the 2060's and 2070's, there will be a similar push to get World Trade Center survivor testimonies.
I cried a little bit when frank prentice was talking about everything going quiet and he felt like he was the only one left in the water. His way of telling the story is very moving
In all the vision I have seen and heard about the Titanic over the last 60 years, the silence has been the one thing they all agreed on was the most memorable and haunting of the whole traumatic event.
He breaks my heart, u can see even decades later how affected he still was..I bet he thanked his god every day after for a another sunrise and sunset.

He hated seeing his injured friend die of hypothermia.
Notice how well dressed, well spoken and lucid these people were even at almost 100 years old
Nick Cline exactly!
It's because Big Pharma has poisoned our modern elders with cancer, autism, dementia and a whole myriad of "medicine"-caused diseases that people 100 years ago did not know.
That wouldn't even be allowed nowadays because now, if one can think for oneself, if one believes in having good manners and dressing well, and if one is strong instead of sitting back crying "I'm so depressed I can't work, give me welfare and antidepressants" - then one gets labeled "mentally ill" and pumped full of antidepressants which cause dementia and make people end up not even being able to remember their own names.
I was born in the decade alott of people think people now a days are trash no respect no dignity 😔😔
generally if you're stupid and don't take care of yourself, you don't make it to 100
The gentleman talking about how he fell into the freezing water you could see the pain in his eyes he wanted to burst out in tears.
😭
Yes it’s sad and be woken up by water 💦
I wish I could’ve met Frank Prentice. The pain definitely is still in his eyes after all those years later. This was at least 60 years after the disaster.
I just don't understand why anyone would ever think it was unsinkable.
@@henryhenson3447 I have a feeling this is from the '80s
My Great Grandmother was 21 when this happened. She always said, nothing is perfect, proceed with some caution. Transitioned 109 in 2000, I was 29 years old. She shared so much history on the events during her lifetime. Today Nana would be 130 years old and I feel her love consistently. Its a remarkable vibe to get historical accounts from Survivors.
I am proud to say that, before they all passed away, I had the opportunities to meet and talk to a few of of these wonderful people at conventions for the THS, IN 1982, 1985, and 1987. To this day, have their signatures in my copies of Walter Lord's classic book, "A Night to Remember" and "The Night Lives On." Eva Hart, Edwina (Celia Troutt) McKenzie, Ruth (Becker) Blanchard, Frank Aks, George Thomas, Bertram Dean and his sister, Milvina (the last survivor), Michel Navratil, Louise Pope... all very gracious people, have left their memories in my books forever! Walter Lord, himself, signed both books for me as well! How thrilled I am to have experienced Titanic's history in such a way!
Titan52berg, that's nice to hear. I wonder how the experience shaped each of them.
can you upload the photo of that copy which they signed
Walter Lord's book IS incredible!
Where was the 87 convention ?
Wow!!! I’m madly in love with Titanic, my heart will forever ache for thousands of people who lost their lives.
The story of the mother who didn't want to go, and stayed up all night, is chilling..!
She was psychic
Yea it's real some ppl could feel something bad bout to happen (bad feeling)
Well it was winter.
Just very intuitive! My parents were going to travel by plane on 9-11. I was 9 and begged them not to go.
Yeah ive heard stories of passengers of titanic as well as their families having premonitions before their departure and right before their death, some even say they felt it the night of. SpiritSPEAKS
*I understand people being fascinated by the Titanic however, their wishing they had’ve been there is pure stupidity. The remaining survivors are still traumatized from what they witnessed and to them there’s nothing amazing about surviving after witnessing all of those deaths*
Captcha Neon I can't imagine the guilt and helplessness the survivors must have felt as they watched the other guests sink and heard their terrified screams.
Alannah Hayes *Right?! Many of them were women leaving their husbands behind, so sad* 😞
I doubt if anyone is alive now! I wish we could have heard more😢
Just like Call of Duty fans wanting to go to war. No you don't.
The last survivor died YEARS ago, and for that matter, while she certainly was a survivor, she hardly could have been considered a "witness" in the classic sense, seeing as she was, I believe, two months old at the time.
Absolute hell for all those on board. Something none of us can begin to comprehend as we sit in the comfort of our own homes watching RUclips.
Nothing romantic about this, folks.
RIP
What’s a story without love?
It literally brought all the Christiand into heaven though
It’s both romantic and tragic at the same time.
There was alot of romance on that ship dufe so it was definitely romantic
I am sure that experience was the worst thing ever to these poor people. Imagine being alone in the middle of nowhere omg
I could listen to Mr. Frank Prentice talk for hours. Just a truly remarkable story of survival. The terror that man must have relived. A true survivor.
How, charming he is. And a full head of hair at his age. A chick magnet. 🤭🥰
My grand mother was supposed to have been on the titanic coming from Finland. But arrived a couple months later on another white starline ship approx two months later. I would not be here if she had taken a earlier ship she arrived in May 1912.
That is amazing!
mcalvert54 Wow. Too close for comfort.
mcalvert54 My grandmother and grandfather were married in November of 1912 and took a cruise. My grandma said the main topic on board the ship was "sure hope we don't sink like Titanic did."
wow ..
+mcalvert54 That must be a scary thing to think about. But who knows, she could have been one of the survivors.
“She’s made of iron, I assure you she can sink” has always stood out with me from the film because it seems so obvious but yet ego told people otherwise and so so many people died as a result.
During titanic era they were putting actual lead yellow paint in mustard to make it look pretty, they did equally bad things with bad chemicals to common food an makeup and medications, so it was much more than ego to believe it was unsinkable 😮
Kind of the same attitudes that led to the OceanGate implosion… ego led to total devastation.
Sounds a little too familiar all these years later especially given this most recent tragedy
The foolishness of man still prevails today regarding the Titan implosion.
@kimmy7724 Harvard won't allow Asians proving racism is still going on so that is beyond foolishness
I’ve been on a cruise before. And I will tell you this, at night when you go up on the deck and look out at the ocean, you can’t see nothing. It pitch black. I can’t imagine swimming in that dark, black, cold water. You can’t even see the water when you on the lowest deck at night. It’s so terrifying. I can’t imagine what it was like on the titanic.
So cold too
Yeah. I don’t know how people had the courage to jump off
You are so right! So dark and scary
103 years already....RIP the people of the titanic
Why are you saying "already" as if you were alive to remember it?
i just did....i have no idea. I'll remove it if it makes you feel better
Tonight April 14; 2017 marks the 105th anniversary of the sinking.... !!
*April 15th --- 2am
however, I think they hit the iceberg on April 14th
My great aunt, Maria Vav Oist survived the sinking , barely, as a third class passenger. She had got her ticket at the last minute and wasn't even registered as a passenger. Til her dying day she cursed the people on the Titanic. She called them selfish, cruel and smug. She told a tale of people in a half filled life boat, bobbing in the water and hearing the screams and cries of the dying while the people in the boats did nothing to help them. She begged them to turn the boat and rescue some people as they had plenty of room. The other passengers said "Why should we help them.? Let the them drown."
She used to cry about this til her dying day. She hated all of them for letting innocent people drown and freeze to death when they could have saved hundreds. That is the reality of the Titanic.
That's people with money for you,they are assholes. The only time they are nice to you is when they want something from you,and even then you can tell they are fake. I believe the titanic was a conspiracy.
most likely they would have swamped the life boat, so no.
frankly she is a bitch if she decided to hate rich people or middle class people. 92% of the middle class men died on the titanic, and first class men 68% died so if it had not been for their sacrifice your great aunt would not have lived.
funny that people role out the class warfare issues but ignor the biggest factor if you lived or died on the Titanic, if you were a male or a female.
Millicent Dogrago nice to hear sumone tell the truth, Maria vav. oist. never new of u but now I have so much respect for her Wat a woman , always be prowd of yor grate aunt she stayed true all her life . And seen first hand Wat peapl can be like
Millicent Dogrago nuget she was calling them roten for not picking people up in the water, she was no bitch, for having a hart and telling the truth
People have and always will be assholes...
23:55 Must be the most terrifying moment in his life. My eyes almost bawled tears watching him keep his tears back.
These “psychics” should be ashamed of themselves for preying on these poor people who will do anything to say some last words
I agree. Complete fraud.
Absolutely! Shameless.
I agree, they're despicable bastards.
Bang on, not a minute in and too am disgusted at these awful people, terrible thing to start off with when most viewers are here to listen and respect the survivors of that time, not watch vultures take advantage of them. Absolutely shameful!
Beware physics get their powers from Satan not God. And who they are talking to are evil spirits, demons impersonating dead ppl, dead ppl don’t communicate with the living.
No one can never ever Imagine what the survivors faced, those few hours completely changed their lives and gave them a wound that could never be healed.
They can also live with so much gratitude that they lived and feel grateful for life even more.
Your english needs much improving. 🙄

They obviously didn't believe that lol its more of an advertisement move
Not my Malibu surfboard. But it won't cross the Atlantic.
"But this ship can't sink!"
"She's made or iron sir. I can assure you she can...and she will!"
how naïve of people to just assume a ship is unsinkable... everyone just took someone's word for it. It's really sad how much trust people used to have in authority figures and government or newspapers.
From my home town of Worcester UK, a man called Henry Morley aged 40 died. He owned a chain of sweet shops, but was running away with his young shop assistant aged 19, leaving his wife and daughter behind. They were to start a new life together in America. Henry died and his young mistress Kate Phillips returned home to Worcester. Nine months later she gave birth to a little daughter who had been conceived on the Titanic, her name was Ellen.
I don't feel bad for him one bit. Poor wife and children.
The last Titanic survivor, Millvina Dean, died in 2009 at the age of 97.
Soon to be 110 years since the disaster, where was she living?
So she was a baby on the ship
@@bullseye1784 yeah pretty much. They are survivors but they weren't even old enough to actually perceive anything going on. They were blissfully ignorant.

@@jesusb9562 true of Millvina Dean, but not of the people interviewed here. They all had at least some memory of it.
Seeing these survivors talk.. It's difficult to place them in the Edwardian era..
Right? It's so weird to think they lived in that era, because to us it almost seems like something right out of a book, like it never really happened. But to them, it's just years from their lives.
Not quite, but close. The Edwardian Era ended in 1901 when Queen Victoria passed. Also known as the Victorian Era.

1901-1914

They're different things completely. The said era is named after the ruling monarch at the time, that should be fairly obvious. Edwardian came after the Victorian.

1500 panicking human beings would pounce the closest vessel immediately and sink everyone.
The lifeboats should of shuffled people all into few as possible then go back without risking all the women and children with emptied boats.
Easy to say in hindsight....Terrible shame.

I could not imagine going through something like that. Especially watching people drown or jump off the boat and just having to watch because there's nothing you can do about it. That must've been absolutely awful
We've had an unbelievable tragedy with 9/11. Only people were jumping off buildings not a ship ..
My grandfather immigrated to America from Sicily in May of 1912. He had been diverted from the Titanic. There're so many lessons to learn from the disaster. The ship itself was a work of art. The world of distinct classes. The thoughts of "what would I have done" or "what would I have felt from the time of the announcements". It just will forever fascinate. I went to the exhibition in NYC and got to absorb the reality of it all.
You should tell the Titanic Historical Society
This was really informative. So sad how the people in charge didn't listen to any warning signs. May they all R.I.P.
I think a fairly large part of it was the speed. I see the same thing happen with trains that are 15-20 000 tonnes each, hard to stop
that's not true. they listened to all of the warnings and they reacted accordingly for what was widley accepted at the time in waters with icebergs.
@@conors4430 No they didn’t. It took them a while to finally realize they should listen. By the time they moved it was too late.
SS ´California: "we are surrounded by icebergs!"
Titanic: "shut up, i'm busy"
unbelievable
I know. They didn't care
Best part is how later californian was in visual range and didnt come XD karma's a bitch
There is much more to this than is told here.
1) Every ship was communicating on a single frequency and the custom was that you never interrupt another ship's transmission. The wireless operator on Titanic was sending passenger messages at the time and was interrupted by California.
2) The transmitters back then had limited range and the further away a message was coming from, the more quiet it was. Titanic was communicating with the coast, so the operator had to have his headphones volume turned all the way up to be able to even hear them. So when all of a sudden a ship that was really close to them started transmitting, it was really loud. The operator even had to tear down the headphones from his head. That's why he got angry.
And that's when the operator said "I think I'll go to bed"
Growing up in the 70-80s I never thought I’d say it but I miss the 90s which is in my belief, the era of greatest Historical Documentaries (before History Channel became Reality TV) about Events of the 20th century, when you could still hear the survivors first hand after the 1985 discovery of Titanic by Robert Ballard.
Very interesting film thank you for uploading. My great-grandmother on my grandfathers side of the family was actually supposed to board the Titanic but she fell ill the day it left. As fate would have it she gave the neighbors next door to her the tickets and unfortunately they perished that night. R.I.P grandma Dorothy and R.I.P to the neighbors and numerous of other poor souls that perished on that horrible night. Rest in peace
''That night''? Don't you mean that they perished four days later? It set sail on the 10th and sank on the 14th...
But perished that night. I think we all know what night we are speaking of. Unless, we are just trying to be a youtube ass.
😮
What were the names of the deceased?
The guy at the beginning who said "we want to be on that ship, we want to be John Jacoby" ahhh no thanks buddy. That's absolutely terrifying just to think what they all went through.
That was seriously odd. He can't have much imagination- unless he means he would have liked to experience the luxury for a day or two and then get off mid-Atlantic before it sank.
That's exactly what a lot of Call Of Duty fans say. They want to go to war. No. Just No
Having to jump into that black freezing water next to basically a whirlpool of suction had to have been the most terrifying thing. Not to mention you’re in the ocean at night with who knows what swimming around you
This is a precious piece of film. There is so much to learn from all of the survivors. Especially compelling is the memory from the gentleman who was the assistant to the pursor...when he speaks it looks as if he is holding back tears. At the time of the documentary filming events are still pretty fresh in the memories of the survivors. Titanic was a warning to future maritime ships and to their passengers.
"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"...
Triangle shirtwaist factory fire...The Titanic...The World Trade Center...
Never, never forget....
Darlene Young, good comment.
Lesson from Triangle Shirtwaist fire: A factory should be well protected against fire hazards.
Lesson from Titanic: A ship should have enough lifeboats for all its passengers.
Lesson from World Trade Center: Uh... don't build... tall buildings? No that's not it... Erm, don't let arabs on a plane?... No that can't be it... Shit, I don't know!
@@severusfloki5778 Severus Snape was nicer than you are.
the way they described the event is so honest & realistic...
Painful to hear , cant imagine what it was like to live it
My Grandad just passed away last night, at the grand age of 92. I am here, because of the stories he told me as a child, of his uncles/aunts plus cousins, aboard titanic in steerage. 🤧🥰
What did he tell you do he have any thing from the titanic
Wait what were their names? I wonder we can still find them
@moniquecarter7474 did he have any of his deceased relatives belongings from the titanic? No.
Only one or two photographs of the few that perished.
@Welcome2MyWorld_gmod I don't understand what you mean by finding them... I believe they was buried in Halifax.
Your grandpa's uncles aunts and cousins were all on the Titanic....
So many mistakes,not enough lifeboats,the boats were not properly filled with people to its full capacity,no consideration for the 3rd class passengers
Bearded Sailor they had more than the minimum amount of life boats required by law at the time. The problem was that the life boats were never intended to hold every single passenger simultaneously. They were meant to ferry the passengers from the sinking to the ship to a rescuing ship. They were meant to do that in multiple trips until everyone had been evacuated. Unfortunately for Titanic there was no rescue ship there when she needed it.
Ryan Reed And the fact there was no rescue ship soon enough was also due to human error.
@Libby Berman I meannnn it was a very unfortunate chain of events but no one called it unsinkable but the press. The crew themselves said it was “practically unsinkable” although the press twisted their word. Many ships are called unsinkable and make complete careers, though in fairness two of the worst shipwrecks (the Wilhelm Gustloff which took 9,000 souls and the Titanic) were thought to be basically unsinkable and the Nazis even claimed the Bismarck was completely unsinkable and that took 2,000 lives
Yeah. We all saw the same movie.
21:53 INCORRECT - watch the video properly. She was there. You were not. She said the lifeboats were full. I believe her. Not you!
My great-grandfather, Teodor Mania was on the ship, Carpathia (named after the Carpathian mts. in Romania, muntii Carpati) going to find work in Detroit, Mi (where he worked for a while and returned home to Romania where my grandmother was born and all our family, me as well). The ship saved people coming off the life boats. Carpathia, the ship was also featured in the movie, 1997 Titanic. He later spoke about the passengers that were rescued. Later on when my parents got married, they met a British man (a tourist visiting Romania with a group) while on their honeymoon in Slanic Moldova. This man was a survivor from the Titanic. I thought that was a very fascinating bit of history, esp. the one with my grandfather. During the time, the early part of the 19th century, I know of many families, men esp. who came to find work in the U.S. and would later return to Europe. Some even had children in the U.S. and returned back to Europe with their families. Later on, when life was hard during Communist rule in Eastern Europe many of those children, now adults reclaimed their American citizenship and brought their families to the U.S., esp. Evangelical Christians. I know several families like that.
Bianca Hotca, you should write an essay about this.
Categoric.. Ar trebui sa scri despre asta
Your great-grandfather was on the Carpathia....
Yes, Phillips replied “shut up, I’m busy”, he was a young crew member that died that night. He was backed up with messages because the power went out in the communication cabin the night before. He was annoyed at Californian interrupting him sending his messages from passengers and therefore replied “shut up, I’m busy”. Obviously not a cool thing to say. However, he was able to fix the Telegraph machine (despite orders for him NOT to fix it) and make the distress calls. If he didn’t fix it, Carpathia (or any other ship) would have never come to rescue survivors in lifeboats.
Yes that's correct.
Good insight.
I’m 43 and I remember when they discovered the wreck in 1985. I actually brought a video about it for show and tell I was so fascinated as a little kid. Of course the rest of the class was bored to tears. One interesting fact I just learned is only three of the four funnels were actually functional. The fourth was just for show and instead provided ventilation for the lower decks as well as a place to store extra deck chairs. White star designed four funnels because at the time four funnels denoted speed in a ship.
The model of the Titanic in this video is just gorgeous. RIP to all who lost their life on that night, and to all survivors who have since passed on. You won't be forgotten.
It's like Eva's mother had a Final Destination premonition before boarding the Titanic.
peblezQ it’s not “like” in the as if sense .. she flat out did. Isn’t it obvious ? I had horrible intuition / bad feelings prior to being abducted from my own home in broad daylight 20 years ago this December ., was the worst thing I’ve ever known and experienced and had I been able to know to listen and analyze that inner voice as it’s God’s wisdom shared with us , to be able to innately feel and sense energy or perceive what is to come ,. I tried so hard to ignore these feelings but it was too late and I’d suffered being tortured and almost
Killed and fought for my life with every breath. I fought to survive and the horrible person had detailed to me exactly how I was going to be killed. When I did manage to survive and police came and took me to the hospital, etc. I had to move immediately from the location and after my statements to police and charges filed ,
The person was arrested but sent people to kill me and both the friends that I shared a home with. Thankfully we’d all been moved out at urging of officers. They apprehended the people and informed me and I was in complete shock and numb for so long but it’s bn a lifetime of suffering and coping and words can’t express the depth of
The suffering I’ve known. Somewhat , what you’d see in a movie, is what I can say. I know not what it’s like to survive on a sinking ship but I do know similarly that level of fear and suffering and looking st ur life knowing you’re about to die. In an instant and all you did was open a door , innocently. These ppl simply rode aboard a ship with no knowledge of their impending doom and yet I do feel the women had gnawing away at her , intuition and knew by feeling that the worst was to come. We all have to listen to that inner voice. Can’t ignore it. We all have the ability to have such intuition but ppl act as though is something mysterious. If they’d simply pay attention they’d realize ..
Kri MD your story is so rare. I’m sorry for your experience and am glad that you survived to share your knowledge with the rest of us.
I had a feeling something was going to happen to my mom and Sister when they were going to church in the evening. So I had to go with them. Church came out at 12am and we got into a car accident with a drunk driver.
I just knew I had to be with them.
I knew something bad was going to happen. Even my mother knew. She was stressed the day before and the very day, that is why she went to church. She almost got into two accident the same afternoon. So listen to your intuition it is a sign from above. So freaky😂
Kri MD wow! Bless you! Your so strong!!!
I hope that things get easier for you as time passes. Your an amazingly strong person to be able to still be here today and openly talk about all that you went through! I’m so grateful you made it here. You inspire me to no end!!
I am very wary and paranoid. I stay home alone a lot and walk dogs for a living, so I’m often alone in a big city. I get paranoid that I will be abducted too, so I take a lot of extra precautions.
Your story really makes me feel better about all the precautions I take. A lot of family and friends call me paranoid and make fun of the extra steps I take. But your proof that I’m not wasting my time in being cautious. I’m also pretty intuitive as well, your right, we all are. When I sense danger. I try stop or stay away. It’s become very useful to my safety.
Thank you for your story, I hope it enlightens others! Your truly inspiring. 💕
Sammmuela Better to be overly prepared than unprepared. Growing up my dad was a bodyguard and I’m guessing his profession made him extra cautious with me. As a kid I always thought he was paranoid, but as an adult I know there’s been situations that could have gone bad had my dad not raised me the way he did. Like he’s always told me, predators seek out unassuming victims, so I’ve always made sure that if I get a weird vibe from someone I make sure they see that I see them (unless the vibe is that they’re gonna rob a place, in that case don’t make eye contact, don’t even look at ‘em lol). Here’s a couple more lil tips thanks to my dads lessons, if someone tries to snatch you, go dead weight. It’s a lot easier to get someone in a vehicle or wherever if the would be victim is already in motion. Lifting a person who’s dead weight, even a small person, is hard, even for a big guy. Also, if you’re ever attacked don’t yell help, yell “fire” at the top of your lungs.
The Californian was treated rudely for their attempt to warn Titanic of big danger 15:16. Maybe a reason why Titanic got the cold treatment from The Californian to blow off the distress rockets which were thought (as I heard somewhere), were used as fireworks to show off their bigness....after all , what use are distress rockets on an 'unsinkable ship' ..(apparent arrogance). The whole mess was fraught with bad luck and bad decisions.
its amazing how far we've come since that night in safety and proper procedure
Ya. Because everything is SAFE in this world! Not.
I understand that the rockets were set off sporadically, and not in a continuous stream, one per minute, which would have been recognized as a call for help.
Titanic ' s radio operator being rude to Californian's operator would have had no bearing on her response to a distress call. Had they known Titanic was sinking and it was possible to get through the ice surrounding her, they would have done their best to get there.
kenneth britton well the rockets they were letting off were the wrong colour to start with they were supose to be red but they were letting off white rockets
Kevin Collver that s what the captain of the exxon valdez slurred
The guy with the mustache was 18 (my age) when he was a crew member, made me realised the shallow easy life I've lived lol
You don't have to suffer to live deeply
He also lived through both world wars
Don't think 'lol' is appropriate.
You're 27 now
major prentice he went by along with simple frank so he must of been in WW1 or 2?
You can see their eyes moving as they speak....they are seeing the things they are talking about , again and again. No doubt these fine people suffered PTSD although no one knew of such a thing - but they simply carried on. I understand that many survivors declined all interviews as they simply could not and would not relive their experience on demand. Godspeed to these fine people.
they knen what ptsd was they just didnt have a name for it.
I’ve always been fascinated with the history of Titanic and it’s tragedy. I think it’s unimaginable the horror the passengers and crew experienced. The cold, the dark, the screams.
I’ve never been on a ship and will probably never because of my fear of sinking.
I agree. I do not want to be on a ship that far out into the ocean. Size does not matter.
Yet, today many people travel on cruise ships twice as big as Titanic
I grew up on the Niagara River in the 80s and 90s and my parents had sail boats. I also went on a cruise ship to the western Caribbean for my honeymoon in 2007. It was the best vacation ever. I respect the water. I live by Niagara Falls and can’t tell you how many drownings happen every year for the failure to have safety. The Titan sub reminded me of people going in barrels down Niagara Falls.
@@khernandez46 And those ships are many times safer than Titanic.
What a gem of a film. I was amazed at the stories themselves and the eloquence and emotion from these survivors. Heartwrenching and such a lesson for humanity. The fellow was spot on when he nearly cried, "it was murder." For the elite who built the ship it's okay to lose 2,000 people....and no coincidence when they call 3rd class "steerage."
I find it amazing how many of us who are fascinated by the Titanic became fascinated since the first time we heard of her as kids.
Only watched a bit so far, and I an disgusted by these fans.. they hold no respect for these survivors or what they have been through.. it''s all about them!!!
That guy with the Titanic shirt.....I cringed when I saw that. He thinks this is Comic-Con.
They survived? You're talking about them like they died. It's no big deal whatsoever. Unless you wanna make it one.
Totally agree. Such a shame to have that mindset. :(
Do you not think that experiencing an event like this haunts a survivor for the rest of their lives? Many of the people who survived lost their husbands or fathers, or even their sons. Other spent hours on capsized or swamped lifeboats, almost freezing to death, and surrounded by people who wouldn't make it, and every person who survived, even if they didn't lose any loved ones, had to hear the screams of the fouteen hundred and ninty six people who were freezing to death in the ice-cold water.
Think about that before you claim it is no big deal for these people just because they survived.
Joshua Hoy Simmer down there
"........I hit the water with a crash, but I didn't hit anything in the water. I was lucky. Very lucky."
A terrifying situation he was in, yet, he was still able to say he was lucky. Many people do not see even the slightest morsel of luck in a tragedy as he did.
I've seen quite a few of survivors speak of the Titanic sinking and it's so crazy to me how a handful of those survivors say that they had a bad feeling or premonition that they would meet a disaster boarding the ship 😥
No disrespect to those people but there might be a bit of confirmation bias going on there...
I find it fascinating, to listen to these accounts from survivors. Fascinating and heartbreaking and very interesting. However, the people at the convention where just odd. To hold a film star in the same regard as a survivor or a horrific accident? To smile while listing all the tragic things that happened? Just plain wrong.
@Stef Green because people today have been desensitized to value people’s lives so much that when hearing of tragedy they literally just think of it as a movie and fan out. It shouldn’t be like this but it is.
@@curlynella1011 I think the majority would disagree with those freaks, even nowadays. They're just odd.
ikr?! the titanic story always have fascinated me.
I would have liked the crewman to finish his story of what happened to him, how he stayed alive, how he was saved etc.
a life boat picked him up and a lady put her jacket around him. He had told her to get on the life boat earlier in the night. They saved eachother. But her husband died that night.
One of the best movies of a very tragic occurrence. The survivor’s stories are so poignant. My paternal grandmother, one aunt and two uncles came to the U.S. aboard the Carpathia in 1910. The film of the Carpathia was very special to me.
God bless them all... May they all be reunited with their loved ones now and their souls all be flying high in paradise xxxxx.....
I cannot even imagine the survivor’s guilt from this specific disaster. Hearing terrified screams knowing these people are going to either drown or freeze to death and being far away in a lifeboat knowing you can’t do a goddamn thing.
This generation survived so much yet still speak with pride and honour all while carrying themselves with such dignity. The world has gone to shit...
And they never would knelt during the playing of their national anthem either!
@@butcherwoman3753 How right you are!
Totally agree
What I find amazing is there there were a few more than 7 left in 1983. Some still could not come out of the woodwork and speak of the disaster until their final days, years after this was filmed.
Thank you for posting this valuable documentary.
Its homely to hear the survivors themselves relate the events as they experienced it. It adds a face to the shock and suffering of that night.
God Bless All of these dear people and the souls who perished by the sinking of the Titanic. What a horrible thing to go through.
FACT: Every single life aboard the Titanic might have been saved if the SS Californian had sprung into action, which was closer to the sinking ship than the SS Carpathia. Captain Stanley Lord was fired as soon as it became clear that he ignored to take action. Being 15-20 sea miles away (as opposed to 50 for the Carpathia), it would've been possible to save everyone on the Titanic in this calm weather, with nothing but a gentle heave: they had time to come beside her and take all of them on board. From 12:15AM (first CQD signal sent from Titanic), they had 2 hours and 5 minutes before the ship sank: SS Calfiornian could've made that with a maximum speed of 14 knots.The tradition of the sea dictates that if a vessel is in need of help, you go out there. 1,517 bodies now rest at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean because a ship's captain refused to help and denied the warning signs.
Yes the god dam should have gone to investigate. Unfortunately due to arrogance and stupidity they didn’t. They didn’t totally ignore the facts but unfortunately due to the weather that night the icy waters of the sea with the warmer air above was causing cold water mirages meaning the captain though it was a different ship. Also the weather that night meant it was a very clear night- with the stars twinkling couldn’t tell the difference between a signal light and stars or other things that twinkle. Due to the radio man on the Californian being asleep he didn’t pick up the distress calls over the radio. So you see it was a sham from the start. Yes the Californian saw something and didn’t go investigate because they weren’t very bright. After all the captain of the Californian was a very young person for the job and wasn’t the most expected in protocol. In the end he lost his job as he didn’t investigate.
The Titanic ignored the Californian's warnings initially
Lost his job? He should have went to jail. It was reported that the crew saw the distress flares from the Titanic and told the captain who then didn't even bother to wake up the radio operator to see what was going on.
A case arrogant egotists on both sides. "Shut up, I'm busy." & "OK, I will."
I read a book about the Californian. In the book it said that the captain Lord was a raging asshole and his crew was afraid of him. So they didn’t wake him again even when they say the lamp signals cuz they were afraid of him. That many Titanic survivors say Californian was so close they could see her portholes. They figured 5miles off.
This was before they discovered the wreck which proved it broke in half before sinking. Survivors swore it and nobody believed them so they would teach just what this special did.
Very spooky. I was honestly just lost and RUclips and stumbled upon this film. Looked at the date and its 2am April 15 2018. Crazy.
May all the victims and passed survivors rest in eternal peace.
Do these people get how bad that must have been for the people of the titanic. ? people are saying they wanted to be john Jacob astor and others no you wouldn't want to be on the ship and went thru what they did and died in freezing water
just me soooo 😞 sad
The fascination and hunger of knowledge of that night, time, and era, is insatiable.
Wow we're so lucky to have their stories on film
What the guy says at 4:41 sums up the WHOLE Titanic story!! A tragedy in a nutshell, and once again proof that absolutely NO SHIP ever created by human was, is or will ever be unsinkable!!!
You're right.
Agree
LoL that guy is an idiot and that was the dumbest part of this video 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈😂🤣😂🤣
it is one thing to see the titanic movie and read books about the tragedy. It is an entirely diffrent thing when eye witnesses speak of the titanic it is like interveiwing 9/11 witnesses you get a clear idea of what happened.
You can read and read but there’s nothing quite like hearing the stories and memories of the real people that experienced it.
shut up im busy lol
I know what he meant about the smell of ice though.
its like a crisp feel in the nose, kinda like when you smell peppermint.
Smell ice can you?, bleeding Christ

Just like you can smell rain
Angela -Benedetti You do know that *"Smell ice can you? Bleeding Christ"* is a quote from the film Titanic right? They weren't being rude :P
No ship will ever be unsinkable
the ship that is never made is unsinkable
wait till it hits a space iceberg
That's true.

26:13 Cpt Lord always said that the Californian was 19mi away so she wasn't "there"; Robert Ballard maintains she was only 10mi at the most. In either case she was close enough to go over and help
Absolutely devastating and beyond tragic. I can't fathom what these passengers felt,heard,visualized,especially those who perished
My grandmother's friend was a baby and survived the sinking.
thats amazing
oh god
krisscouture dear God tell me more
My friends ancestor was a survivor of the sinking he was a man
Yea, anyone could find SOME connection tbh lets face it not that hard!
There is nothing romantic about such inhumanity! This is the one part of history I am just enthralled with for some reason. I am a history lover, but this part just has always set n my heart so heavily!
Romantic? Nothing romantic about it!!
Lynda Hallock ...yes I agree with you, that fellas views of finding it a romantic is quite strange.... It's the opposite of romantic, it's heartbreak and heartache of the immense loss of love it is just overwhelming. God bless them all, may there souls be flying high in paradise xxx...
He means romantic in the sense where he’s captivated by the story. I don’t think he means he’s romantically involved with titanic. There is most definitely a romanticism involved with the titanic. It’s story and lore is FOREVER burned into the memories of everyone in the civilized world.
I think that’s what he means. Of course it’s tragic, awfully depressing what happened. But think of the term “romantic” in the way an author would use it to describe something captivatingly awful.
Cheers
Dustin Newman ...yea elaborating it like that Hun makes sense
Dustin, good explanation, these dummies apparently only know one definition of romantic
Well... Isidor and Ida Strauss gave the Titanic the romantic touch. Google them
THANK YOU for the film. Very informative and enlightening. I especially enjoyed the last 10 minutes showing actual 1912 footage of the Titanic taking off, footage of the crew & passengers ... accompanied by ragtime music of the period. Masterpiece production.
Hedy Ho HEY HEDY HO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE COMPLIMENT. I'VE WRITTEN AND PRODUCED OVER A HUNDRED DOCUMENTARIES AND THEY SELL AT WALL MART, K-MART, TARGET, FRYS, ETC.. MY FATHER WAS A PERFECTIONIST AND I GET IT FROM DAD. I WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS PRODUCTION AND DID A LOT OF RESEARCH WHICH IS NORMAL WHEN YOU DO A DOCUMENTARY. IT'S FUNNY BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'M ACTUALLY READING MY REVIEWS. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE NON BELIEVERS LIKE MR. PASSIVE SMOKING RIGHT BELOW. SO HE GETS STONED AND MAKES UP THINGS. BUT ONE NICE REVIEW LIKE YOURS WIPES OUT THE MORONS! THANK YOU AGAIN. YOU RESTORE MY FAITH IN HUMANITY. DAN DALTON
Actually, the ship in the film was not Titanic but Olympic. Captain Edward Smith RD RNR was in command of her before he was transferred to Titanic. Note his uniform was summer/spring wear and not the winter wear appropriate for Titanics April voyage. Also, The first class promenade deck was wide open on the ship on the film. On Titanic, it was closed in and made into private verandah for the most posh first class.
The ship being escorted away from the dock by tug was Olympic. I imagine the filmmaker wanted to catch the idea of the magnitude of the Titanic leaving port and without any fim footage of the Titanic itself its sister ship, exactly the same in all but a handful of ways (some of the improvements on Titanic would later be applied to Olympic) would have to do.
So sad
I've been watching titanic docs all day and at times catch myself crying
bless these people's hearts
I respect every single one of these people that survived and died I can’t imagine what it would be like
1,500 people died for no reason except for the ego's of show-offs.
Mankind, the most intelligent of all species, is utterly self destructive. Our stupidity knows no bounds.
Dolphins are smartest...
***** Please don't reply to a comment from two years ago..
Thomas Ball, you are absolutely right. Godless pride, arrogance, hubris. (Btw, it's "egos," without the apostrophe. Lol.)
@@Olivia.Sheree there's no law against it. Don't oppress me.
Listening to that upbeat saloon style piano music, then all of a sudden that eerie almost creepy music came on and it was a little freaky!
My great grandmother's second husband was married to a survivor of the Titanic. Still have some of her things.. come to think of it
+David Aikman My Great Aunt Mary Anne Perreault was a survivor of the Titanic from Gaspé,Quebec,Canada she was a Maid for a Mr Charles.M Hays,a wealthy business man in Montreal,traveled with the family Hays to London to meet another wealthy Business man name Sir Abe Bailey for a business deal,they left southhampton for New York on april 10 and on the 14 disaster struck, you could read her story on line ,she end up marrying Sir Abe Bailey, Chauffeur Bert Pickett and live in the U.S till her death in 1968 at the age of 90 !!!

+Weird Player lmao your silly for that one!
21:55 Eva said :"...it's just a question of who was there..." So it just so happened that some people were simply in the right place at the right time and were encouraged to get into the life boats even though they thought the ship was unsinkable and that is how they survived.
This is just a master piece ,
I've never seen the video over 40 minutes with no any skip on youtube before.
what an interesting video
I hope this video never gonna deleted , really ..
I am so sorry for those people who lost their loved ones. I am glad they have all been reunited with the ones they had to say goodbye to so many years ago.
R.I.P to the people that died on the titanic in 1912
Did you know that Ms Ruth was speaking to ppl about her experience on the titanic and she told everyone that she saw the ship broke in half and then when she was done speaking some guy took the microphone back and said that it didn’t really break in half and that was only her perception. She should’ve taken the microphone back and asked him if he was there.
Lots more people could've been saved if the crew and others would've just started disassembling the ship - Removing wooden doors, sending people off on tabletops, or anything that could float and hold a person. Can you imagine how many floatable pieces of architecture and furniture was on a ship that big?
+Mm Thomas The 3rd class was full of Irish and other European immigrants, I'm sure that given the opportunity they could have made dozens of rafts from what was on board.
+Mm Thomas if I were the capt knowing there were not enough life boats and no one to come in time, why not try and off load some passengers onto the iceberg, it would have been cold but at least they would be out of the water and not on a sinking ship. I wonder how far away the ship was when it finally stopped for the last time, was the iceberg in sight? if so they could have been rescued off the iceberg a few hrs later when help arrived, but after titanic went down..
+moskii 1958
By the time they stopped the iceberg was probably mile behind them. That's one reason. Another is it was very high and steep sided. Not so easy even if it were right next to you!
Mm Thomas are you being serious?? How could they have accomplished that??
I think that's what the cook did, he started throwing deck chairs and anything that could float
One of the benefits 2nd class passengers had were that their staircase and elevator went straight to the boat deck. Easy access for 2nd class passengers to join 1st class on the boat deck. 3rd class never had that luxury. Which is why Eva Hart's father could get her and his wife to the boat deck quickly.
This mother was so right, " Flying in the face of God ".
Which god? Zeus?
@@RobertMuldooJP No.
@@Vingul Thor?
@@RobertMuldooJP I am Norwegian but my name is not Thor, no.
No doubt
It just feels so unreal whiching this. I'm so use to seeing the ship under water! Looking like a broken ghost ship. It's hard to believe it ever looked like this and seeing these people that most of them are dead. Feels like it's not real.
R.I.P. titanic survivors and those who loss their lives in 1912..
R.I.P. RMS Titanic
Prayers 🙏🤍🕯️
I had held a letter from Eva hart (from a friend) where she replied to school children who wrote to her and tells about her father and prices to travel on the ship….
For real? The Titanic responded to another ship that was surrounded by icebergs, "Shut up. I'm busy." ???? Right before it hit one? That's even more arrogant than the statement that she could not sink!! That had hubris written all over it!!
Rainy Day right? that's where they fucked up. This whole tragedy could of and should of never happened.
Jaclyn Johannsen I agree with you but dear, it's "could have and should have..." is what you really mean.
+Rainy Day I DID THIS VIDEO AND THE SHIP THAT WAS NEARBY ALL WENT TO SLEEP EXCEPT THE ONE SAILING IT.
THE TELEGRAPH GUY DIDN'T GO TO SLEEP BY ACCIDENT BUT IN THOSE DAYS, THE WHOLE SHIP WENT TO SLEEP.

The Marconi operator (using morse code to transmit over radio) was transmitting messages from the passengers to the local recieving station and the window for clear transmission was limited. Not that he was right to ignore such an important warning but back then, radio was a novelty and not actually required on the ship. In fact, the 2 Marconi operators werent even considered Titanic crew or even passengers. They worked for Marconi and were "experimentally" on the ship.
The operator was swamped with messages he was charged to transmit and was over tired.
I agree though, had he not responded so brashly perhaps the captain would have acted differenty considering the number of ice warnings and the closing proximity of the bergs.
There is much more to this than is told here.
1) Every ship was communicating on a single frequency and the custom was that you never interrupt another ship's transmission. The wireless operator on Titanic was sending passenger messages at the time and was interrupted by California.
2) The transmitters back then had limited range and the further away a message was coming from, the more quiet it was. Titanic was communicating with the coast, so the operator had to have his headphones volume turned all the way up to be able to even hear them. So when all of a sudden a ship that was really close to them started transmitting, it was really loud. The operator even had to tear down the headphones from his head. That's why he got angry.Plus, they had already received multiple ice warnings just like this one from other ships. Even if they hadn't told them to shut up and delivered this message to the captain too, it wouldn't have changed anything.
Rest in peace life can be so cruel.we can't imagine what went through there minds in that water.the pain in folks hearts
I can only imagine the memory flashbacks and images that went through the survivor's heads as they were talking about the sinking. Especially the one about the dreadful silence that followed after everyone was dead.
One of the survivors said that there was no small talks or anything like that on the rescue boats, so it literally was silent after the Titanic completely sunk
Frank when he says I gradually found to be all by myself is so sad.... He probably didn't talk about titanic much
His testimonies are always the hardest for me to listen to. So much grace in the way he tells this horror he lived and managed to survive
