      There was an actual fire on titanic this evidence was only discovered in recent years and there is a full documentary about it showing you the evidence. However the facts often get misinterpreted people think it caused the sinking but it didn’t, it merely helped to speed it up by weakening one of titanics bulkeads. Xc

    I remember being in fourth grade ( I believe this took place in 2017) and hearing people talking about the fire theory. They said an iceberg didn’t cause the sinking, but that only made me mad, I kept insisting to them that the titanic hit an iceberg and sank due to that said iceberg. And then recess ended

  • @goldfing5898
    @goldfing5898 Год назад +2

    The claim that nobody of the survivors mentioned an iceberg but that many mentioned a bunker fire is absurd also for another reason. The bunker fire was deep below in the ship so passenger would not have noticed it, but only some crew like the firemen and stokers. Whereas passengers were playing football (soccer) with some chunks of ice on the well deck shortly after the collision.

    About the guardian angel theory, even the ships designer, Tomas Andrews, told Captain Smith the Titanic had 1 and a half hours until it sank. But thanks to the coal balancing out the wait, it took 2 and a half hours.

    • @PinkSoldier2009
      @PinkSoldier2009 Год назад +1

      @maverickclark9980 - The coal kept it from capsizing, but it had nothing to do with how long it was gonna take for the ship to sink. Andrews just gave an estimate cause he wasn’t God. How on earth was he supposed to know exactly how long it was gonna take for Titanic to sink? It would have been impossible to know for certain, because he obviously had never been on sinking ship before. 🙄 Seriously!

    • @goldfing5898
      @goldfing5898 Год назад

      @@PinkSoldier2009 But capsizing or not has indeed a great influence on the sinking time. If the ship capsizes, it opens up alot more opprtunities to water entering (e.g. open portholes on one side) and thus likely accelerates the sinking. Apart from that, it hinders from lowering lifeboats on that side, caudes early panic and thus even more worsens the situation.

    The whole coal bunker fire theory completely negates the fact that 5 compartments ahead of said bunker were breached.
    Boiler Room 5 is actually the 6th compartment, and wasn't as damaged as the five before it, as it was confined to that coal bunker (until that bulkhead failed and spilled its contents into the boiler room).
    I am well aware that that coal fire was real, but the factors into how it could have sank the ship I just don't get.
    For the record, I'm not an expert, just yet another person who is fascinated by the ship, the sinking, the people and the wreckage.

The angel theory is interesting though I imagine in that scenario at least some of the boats would have been launched before it capsized as it would have been obvious earlier how dyer the situation was.

      I would also say it helped because it had a small port list because they moved coal due to it.

      Yes, on the channel Bright Side was a video on several ridiculous theories. Historic Travels channel debunked several of those videos. The most ridiculous (and I don't know why it must be repeated, it doesn't get any truer) is that the ever evil Germans sank Titanic by a torpedo, more than two years before World War One. This is even more disgusting since a German ship, the Frankfurt, corresponded to Titanic several times and tried to help, but was far too distant (about 150 nautical miles, nearly three times the distance of Carpathia).
