It’s amazing to see that not even half of the ship was flooded and suddenly, within 10-15 minutes, it suddenly fills up more, breaks into 2, and then goes fully under
It wasn't fully flooded after the break up because it imploded under the water which means there was air trapped inside . It didn't have time to fill with water gradually
So fascinating to see how slow the process is over the first 1-2 hours, only to violently turn into hell on earth. Great work! I was watching the entire thing with great attention.
Despite the fact that I don't think there's anything about the Titanic that I haven't already heard, seen or learned, I'm a sucker for anything Titanic-related and will still click and watch damn-near any video about it that pops up in my suggestions. I really enjoy reading the comments, too, and seeing others just as interested or "obsessed" as myself.
What is striking is that until well along in the sinking process, the forward trim was probably not severe enough to have unduly alarmed most of the passengers.
This is a right on the ball this is what i want to see where the water is going and how it got there and what the water is doing thank you for a accurate sinking simulation.
This is a great analysis and I love it. My only question in regards to accuracy is that according to some accounts the water got much further along E-Deck than shown here. Chief Baker Joughin went back to his quarters around 1:45am and had water flooding them to about ankle height. He spoke to the surgeon and saw the crew attempting to close the bulkhead just aft of his room so he left. On this simulation his room never gets flooded until the break up. It's not a big thing, but it does have implications as water that far aft would mean the lower decks also experienced more flooding from above.
Yeah that's rather confusing part. According to how far the ship would've been by that time it would've been impossible for water to progress that far aft and especially go aft behind the watertight bulkhead where chief baker's cabin was. The only plausible guess that I saw once stated by someone was that the water might've come into cabin from the leaking water pipe.
@@lordfoxquaad1611 That would make sense. Given the angle and rate of flooding at that stage in the sinking, I would imagine that 'water around ankles' would rise quickly. But the anecdotal evidence doesn't seem to suggest alarm or rush on behalf of anyone noted in the scene. Thanks for the reply. It really is amazing work.
is it possible that there were already some minor structural failures occurring around this area of the ship when he returned to the cabin? perhaps there were already fissures forming in areas where she was breaking herself apart.
amigo eu admito sua animaçao é espetacular, ha muitos detalhes que a maioria nao vai ver, desde a escada de emergencia dos foguistas, ate a BR3 enchendo pelo ''ash place'' ou a sala das maquinas eletricas inundando pela entrada de ar no boat deck, mas, eu tenho uma duvida: a regiao da terceira classe no deck F na proa tem 2 comportas estanques, essa regiao foi inundada em menos de 30 minutos apos a colisao, antes de andrews dizer que o navio estava condenado, ha algum relato ou certeza de que essas comportas foram fechadas? ou ha uma possibilidade delas estarem abertas?
Thanks for this - but it is quite difficult to watch on mobile. I can't see the compartments clearly. I'd love a version that just has the whole ship (the right side) filling the screen, ideally without a black background too so the bits above water stand out.
Does this account for the open gangway door? It looks like it does as towards the end of the sinking that side floods more quickly. Nice work, even the split looks very accurate - not many animations do it justice in a way that looks realistic!
The thing is that I still think that those doors were never open cuz the men that Mr Lightoller told to open those never came back, and I can explain the open gangway door on the wreck by saying that those doors werent fully locked and opened by the force of the ship impacting the seafloor.

Interesting that some people likely went down with the ship and were for a while at least far underwater in dry compartments with the air pressure likely increasing. Scary.
They would have only lasted seconds, as the stern imploded a few hundred feet underwater. The decks above F deck were not watertight and not designed to take any pressure. So mercifully it would have been over quickly. But still a horrendous way to go.
@@andrewsmallwood9210 Some people may have been alive longer though, if they found air pockets. There would be a bubble inside the titanic as it sank, which would want to travel upwards drawing in water at lower levels and blowing out the windows or hallways, air vents etc. some air pockets may have survived for a while, I'd think with water or air compressing an area from all directions.
Given the weight of the stern dropping in the water she would have been going down very fast, I believe the estimate is ~50kmph the implosion would have been 30 seconds or less after she left the surface. Given the near total destruction of the hull no one could have survived that air pocket or not. Even if they weren’t in the bit that imploded the concussive wave would have destroyed their air bubble leading to that imploding as well. Absolutely terrifying thinking of being in the dark noticing the sounds become muffled then replaced only by water and metal tearing, with the temperature getting colder and colder and the air pressure popping your ears, thankfully the end would have happened so quickly they couldn’t perceive it 😢
@@ianoliver-jx4rx 50 kmph with air pockets to start with or was that the impact force? If you sink a submarine to deep in the water it will implode suddenly and with an extreme amount of force. On the other hand you could (maybe) sink a car to the bottom of the ocean without much of the air escaping and without the car imploding. I doubt the interior walls and halls had much strength. It would take much for water to "implode" them but some structures may have been intact until it picked up more speed and started tearing itself apart, or until the impact.
50kmph was the impact speed they came to after simulations. From what we know, after the break up the stern flooded and sank quickly as the water now had the entire open hill for access. With the steep angle she sank at this forced the water and air towards the stern, causing air pockets. Then given the stern hull was still essentially water tight below portholes, access doors and the like, the only escape route for the air was implosion, which would have caused incredible damage. But it was still sinking down quickly with the water resistance completing the damage we see today I think the reason a car wouldn’t implode is because they are not truly water tight, if it was completely enclosed the pressure would effect it differently
I was astonished at how the ship managed to float and sinking very slowly for 2 hrs and 35 mins but the last additional 5 minutes when the water almost filled 3/4 of the ship. She gave up, she split in 2 and plunged...
remarkable seeing the watertight bulkhead holding back the water for as long as it did. Had the design incorporated more lifeboats and collapsible boats, more lives could've been saved.
What software have you used for it? could you pass the lines plan, I am a student of naval architecture and I would like to test the model in MaxSurf Stability, Thanks!!
I drew these on top of the existing deck plans and the profile plan, and then simply rotated the profile picture and filled the deck plans with water in Paint. net software. Just an image editing, but with physics, researches and survivor accounts in mind.
I have been thinking lately it was a mistake to have portholes that could open. The ship had lots of ventilation. I would think it would have bought them significant time if they were closed.
It is very likely that most portholes were in fact closed. It was an extremely cold night at almost midnight. Many passengers were already asleep. Air temperature was around the freezing point, so around 0°C, give or take a few degrees. Water temperature was below freezing at -2°C. I don't know anybody who leaves their window open through the night when it snows outside. Do you? And those were essentially the conditions in the night Titanic sank. A few portholes were likely open here and there, but most likely only very, very few. They would have maybe given the ship a few more minutes. Nothing major. The vast majority was likely closed.
You may notice the air pockets remaining underneath cargo hatches 2 and 3 up until that time. At 2:15 AM they burst, thus turning into massive openings on the forward well deck. Accprding to the 2021 research conducted by some Titanic enthusists, this is the most likely cause for triggering the port list evening and the sudden drop of the ship moments later.

Forgive my ignorance but what caused boiler room 4 to start flooding around 12:20AM? How would it ahead of boiler room 5 which wasn't open to the sea apart from a coal bunker between boiler rooms 5&6 which was only separated from boiler room 5 by a thin non watertight bulkhead.
At around this time there's been a report of the stokehold plates starting to leak the water, and about 10 minutes later the water appeared to be 1 foot deep already. A testimony came from Cavell, he soon abandoned boiler room 4 and what happened next there is pretty much a mystery, but I suppose that the suction pumps that had been brought there before were kept working until the boiler room began to flood from E Deck level. The initial leak as I suppose might've come from the small scratch of an iceberg damage that must've occured below the stokehold plates. It should've been a tiny enough damage for a leak to show up 40 minutes later or so.
Could the leakage through the stokehold plates in boiler room 4 have been an early sign of hull failure due to increasing stresses from the flooding forward?
@@jamescameron2490 I'm not really sure, most likely there was a small damage from an iceberg below the stokehold plates. As soon as the space below the plates filled the water started to show up above, becoming visible for the stokers.
I really like this. Can you release this in a 'real time' video? It might be nearly 3 hours long, but I'm fascinated with the flooding process, and would love to see it as it happened rather than compressed as it is here.
I'm yet to figure out how exactly I want a real time video like this to look like.

@@DS-fk7ed Thank you, I've always been passionate about Titanic since the time I saw the 1997 film back in late 2000s.

@@KiwiKiwf There's no other way to make the bow's broken end to rise out of water other than increasing the bow's angle after the break up. Also take a look at Britannic's boilers, the ship is at 90 degrees starboard list at the seafloor and the boilers are still firmly attached to the double bottom, even despite the momentum when the ship was hitting the bottom very hardly at the same angle.
@@lordfoxquaad1611 I haven't really studied this part but could there be a possibility of the ways the boilers were fixed in their positions that played a part in that? Like at the 90 degree list, even though it exceeded 35 degrees of list, some objects horizontally to the boilers stopped them from moving out of place? I'm probably wrong though.
I'm pretty sure the info is wrong after the break up because the stern sank fast and there was nowhere for the air to escape that fast so there were many areas that weren't flooded which made the stern to implode under the water. So I doubt the stern filled with water completely after the break up, people should learn more about physics

The weight of the engines kept the ship from sinking quicker. Of course once the weight of the water exceeded that...
