They would have passed out well before 500 feet they would probably passed out around 250 if they were still able to breath do to Nitrogen Narcosis. The gas compressing in the compartment would have put greater volumes of nitrogen in their blood stream and they would have e become very drunk very fast so they probably wouldn’t know what happen to them because they would have slipped into a drunken black out
For 30 seconds. I'm sure it felt like an hour for those sinking, but overall it's not as bad as it could have been. Your brain is pretty delicate, and the concept of "pain" only really applies to the conscious mind, so they likely passed out very quickly and didn't experience the full pain of implosion.
The bow probably would have been completely filled by the time of the final plunge so nobody alive would have had to experience being trapped there for hours on end until the bow imploded. Plus, most of the 1500 victims died by hypothermia, not drowning or being trapped in the ship.
The other issue is that being exposed to, and immersed in, such extreme cold means you could be potentially left paralysed in shock. This could and likely would also affect your breathing. You can die that way too. And many did. This explains many of the floating dead bodies that were discovered, while many others would have been sucked down by the whirlpool effect created as the rest of the ship began its final descent.
What’s worse is most of the people back then wouldn’t have been educated on any of this stuff so it goes into the fear of the unknown aswell they knew the water would be cold but not that cold they didn’t know the lights would go out or even if there would be sharks around that would eat them even tho there r no killer sharks in the Atlantic but they wouldn’t have known they prob still believed in megladons and krakens anol back then
I was a freediver for quite a long time and I can tell that after 50 seconds inside a cabin or confined space, nobody would worry about pressure or freezing darkness after inhaling and get choked by sea water. In just a few seconds comes total unconsciousness no matter what pressure does to human bodies. Nevertheless, in a shipwreck those who swim away have always the best chance, and - in mi opinion - you better die from hypothermia than drowned inside a cabin. I think that the worst occurs when victims of a developing accident, became aware of the inevitable.
But if you drank two bottles of wiskey or rum than you would be not die with hypothermia for a long time, one of the survivor in Titanic told that he drank 2 wiskey when he was in water 💦 that's why all the peoples were died but he was still alive
@@shrishsingh9791 It's debatable. Alcohol causes your blood vessels to dilate making your core body warm your appendages eaiser but you will have a higher chance of suffering hypothermia since your core body tempt may drop as a result.
I remember watching another video about the fate of the passengers of the titanic, and they also mentioned the bone dissolving away to nothing. However they also expanded on that to say that was why they found shoes littered all over the site, these were final resting place of many people and all that was left was their shoes. So sad...

I was a young girl when the Barbara Stanwyck version of Titanic was broadcast on television. My father explained to me that it was a true story. In my naivete, I asked why the ship couldn't have had divers go down to retrieve items and remains. My father lovingly and patiently explained the depth and the pressures. Fast forward about 3 decades or so and...meet Robert Ballard. Then, along came James Cameron. Now you explain the part that has been avoided until now. Even with all the explication, I still feel the same sadness I felt as a young girl, knowing all those people died because of the arrogance and hubris of a few men. Its comforting to know that they didn't suffer too long.
If you were trapped inside an air pocket the air would be compressed to the same pressure of the surrounding water, therefore you would be able to breathe as normal. However after about 500 feet HPNS begins to set in. This probability wouldn't bother you much as you'd be under the effects of extreme nitrogen narcosis starting at 80 to 120 feet for most people and by 300 feet (unless you're Sheck Exley) you'd be completely unaware of your surroundings.
@@aelardiz It is not just the US. Myanmar and Liberia us it as well but yeah it is stupid that the world has to learn a different and complicated system that only 350 million people use compared to 7 billion.

This isn't depressing at all, promise. A friend of mine also did a Trans-Atlantic crossing on the QEII in 2002. They did an onboard announcement and blew the ship's horn when passing in the general vicinity of the wreck site.
Thanks for answering the question that I couldn't find elsewhere. My thoughts were that someone who is trapped in the middle of the titanic had enough pocket of air to go all the way down and possible live for another minute or so. But apparently the pressure cancels all of that
I've nearly drowned and I've nearly died of hypothermia, which is not as bad as you think. Painful, yes, but tolerable and not long and then euphoria. Nearly drowning, however, was horrific.
You had a near death experience which means you would have a story to tell. Did you see any light at the end of the tunnel? Also pls explain the "not long then euphoria part"?
I nearly drowned in Miami back in 2003. I was fighting frantically against the tide that kept pulling me out toward the ocean without alerting anybody. It was horrific because I was certain I was going to drown at first before the tide subsided enough for me to power my way to shallower waters.

@@ianrivaldosmith Hahaha! Either way, I'm.sure the people of the 26 counties weren't happy to have been sank underwater! (Nb; I enjoyed this video fully - i just found this funny).
Yeah but there's a huge difference. The titanic started from the surface and descended through the progression of atmospheric pressure which is why it took about 15-20 seconds for the passengers to die. The Titan Submersible on Sunday imploded when it was already in an extremely high atmosphere of pressure. So those 5 passengers died in literally a millisecond. Not 15-20 seconds lol
Great video! Question, what would happen to the bodies trapped deep inside the ship? Would not the decay have been slower? There were still recognizable human remains when they brought the C.S.A. Hunley to the surface, well over 150 years later. I know it was in silt, in a shallower depth, but the remains were intact. I read that one reason the remains from the Hunley survived is due to lack of oxygen. Wouldn't that apply to two miles beneath the surface, where Titanic is? Also, the temperature at the Titanic's depth is much colder than that of the study on the pigs.
Many, many of these people were killed instantly by the steel, iron, other parts of the ship, and furnishings that were falling and being violently thrown about (including one massive funnel) and by the fact that their own bodies were flung helter skelter, especially those on the stern who fell/slid rapidly across the very long deck. My bet is that many were unconscious or dead before this descent even occurred. Had there been a chance to do autopsies, it's my guess that most of those who went down with the ship would have evidenced fatal injuries rather than drowning or hypothermia (the latter being more applicable to those who jumped or fell into the sea).
The first 2 reported deaths on Titanic were 2 crewmen. One of them broke their leg in a boiler room, and couldn't get out when the boiler room suddenly flooded later on. The other was a fellow crewmen who tried to save him but got trapped too.
I think it would have been less suffering if you were inside the ship. It says you will black out in few seconds and anything after that you will no feel. And dying from hypothermia will take a lot of suffering and time.
Well the fact is, both deaths take you to the bottom of the ocean. Sinking with the ship is scarier, but much more faster. And freezing to death is so much slower and so much more agonizing. I don't know. I would probably prefer dying on the ship than dying Jack style.
.,..... Watching this after the experimental submersible, that's controlled by a playstation controller, trying to go to see the Titanic wreck has gone missing.....
The heat barely would have had time to dissipate to the water by the time you were flattened, your brain would need far more time to interpret it than it took them to drop 500 feet through water, all while being quickly crushed to death. I too thought he had glossed over it before realizing it barely would have made an impact in that time. The people on the surface, on the other hand, floated there slowly freezing until they could no longer tread water, whereby they sank and slowly drowned. A much worse fate than implosion, if you ask me.
@@SaturninePlaces Yeah, I think if you'd had a choice it would have been better to have been onboard and go down with the ship vs treading water until you froze to death.
@@johnzkeePW Juvenile and adult lobsters have been reported in waters with temperatures ranging from 0-25°C and with salinities ranging from 15-32 ppt, but temperatures from 15-18°C and salinities of 20-25 ppt are preferred."

The good thing is that the bow if the ship most likely would have been fully flooded and there wouldn't be anyone alive trapped there anymore, so nobody would have to experience being trapped for hours there until the ship imploded.
Just come across your channel ironically under a video of the recent tragedy 😔. I'm glad i did though as this has to be one of the best video's recording this kind of information of the titanic sinking .your narration is great 👍 👌 and I've liked and subscribed straight away.

Why doesn't the map contain the Republic of Ireland? The last stop Titanic made was at QueensTown (now Cobh) in County Cork in the Republic of Ireland.
Ironically it was built in Belfast (now Northern) Ireland but the map either portrayed the scale of Ireland incorrectly in relation to Britain and Europe or was some what rather crudely drawn.
Very good explanation of the HMS TITANIC. IT must have been awful for the passengers and staff and crew . So many deaths .I feel that no more attempts to find out or send submersible s down they should leave the disaster in the past and the passengers graves alone if their is any remains left .
Is sacrilege keep trying to get stuff for museums the diamond rings that ladies wore rotted away with wearing them and now yanks have them in museums for 💰💰💰💰making. Do they rob graves too woudnt be surprised. That jewelry should be passed down to relatives not put in museums to gawk at! I hope the people who stole these got karma big time
I know I'm a year and a half late for this, but the bow probably would have been completely filled by the time of the final plunge so nobody alive would have had to experience being trapped there for hours on end until the bow imploded. Plus, most of the 1500 victims died by hypothermia, not drowning or being trapped in the ship.
Would the ship's structure hold back some pressure? How far down can you sink in an air pocket within a strong room or something? Like in a submarine? Good video, just asking.
It wouldn't help you much anyway when you get that deep at crush depth you're not even going to know anything about it any way. Besides everything getting compressed down including air.
@@MrKen-wy5dk imperial is good for rough estimates like "its about an inch'' or "can you move that about a foot to the right" etc but metric millimetres are much better for fine measurement, 1000ths of an inch is way more complicated. And miles are too big for accurate navigation, it was so weird to see fractions on street signs when i first visited USA.
"Few million" US population is 340 million and english speaking population is 1 billion. first language english? 360 billion. makes more sense than you think
There have been lots of disasters in human history but for whatever reason this one seems to be the most interesting. I don’t know what it is but we are still talking about it.
On RUclips, there is a simulation of the sinking in real time. It really give one a sense of how intense and terrifying it must have been. I would imagine the suction of the hull sinking would have brought many far under water very quickly.
I wonder how many people were still on the bow end of the ship when it sank. I would think most people still onboard would have migrated to the stern as it was sinking, unless they had no way to get there.
20-30 seconds then imploding under the pressure within a millisecond without even knowing it, not feeling pain wouldve been a mercy. thank god they wouldnt have to endure more horror

Many, many of these people were killed instantly by the steel, iron, other parts of the ship, and furnishings that were falling and being violently thrown about (including one massive funnel) and by the fact that their own bodies were flung helter skelter, especially those on the stern who fell/slid rapidly across the very long deck. My bet is that many were unconscious or dead before this descent even occurred. Had there been a chance to do autopsies, it's my guess that most of those who went down with the ship would have evidenced fatal injuries rather than drowning or hypothermia (the latter being more applicable to those who jumped or fell into the sea).
The first 2 reported deaths on Titanic were 2 crewmen. One of them broke their leg in a boiler room, and couldn't get out when the boiler room suddenly flooded later on. The other was a fellow crewmen who tried to save him but got trapped too.
Oh dear. Spooky history time
I would have much rather jumped into the sea and died from hypothermia on the surface than ride that ship into the darkness and depths of the ocean.
Not sure after watching this. Twenty seconds on the ship, maybe twelve minutes on the surface.
Yeah. It was a rough couple of hours and the choices were limited.
I think it would have been less suffering if you were inside the ship. It says you will black out in few seconds and anything after that you will no feel. And dying from hypothermia will take a lot of suffering and time.
Well the fact is, both deaths take you to the bottom of the ocean. Sinking with the ship is scarier, but much more faster. And freezing to death is so much slower and so much more agonizing.
I don't know. I would probably prefer dying on the ship than dying Jack style.
Nah he just said they would've been unconscious in 20-30 seconds inside the ship...That's about as much mercy as you can get in a situation like this.
The mistake was thinking the ship as unsinkable and not taking enough life boats to it
And locking away the 3rd class passengers behind gates so they wouldn't "foul" the places where the 1st and 2nd class passengers were.
@@janetstreet7264 No passengers were "locked away" and the 1997 movie was a movie, not a documentary...
Except that even the part about "not enough lifeboats" isn't technically accurate
.,..... Watching this after the experimental submersible, that's controlled by a playstation controller, trying to go to see the Titanic wreck has gone missing.....
that is a question I immediately asked when the sub went down. thank you.
*Doesn’t mention the freezing air and water temperatures or the suction effect and what happened to the people on the surface*
The heat barely would have had time to dissipate to the water by the time you were flattened, your brain would need far more time to interpret it than it took them to drop 500 feet through water, all while being quickly crushed to death. I too thought he had glossed over it before realizing it barely would have made an impact in that time.
The people on the surface, on the other hand, floated there slowly freezing until they could no longer tread water, whereby they sank and slowly drowned. A much worse fate than implosion, if you ask me.
i understood the title "what happened to the people on the titanic?" as what happened to the people still left on the boat when it sank.
It’s simple, most people in the water died by hypothermia, only a lucky few survived and were rescued by boats. Like in the 1997 movie.
@@SaturninePlaces Yeah, I think if you'd had a choice it would have been better to have been onboard and go down with the ship vs treading water until you froze to death.
So interesting and even more so after the tragic Titan disaster. Thank you
Who else is here because of the ocean gate sub
You know lots of people are watching Titanic!
Would the 20-30 seconds be much less given that being hit with extremely cold water will make you reflexively gasp?
Imagine being trapped down in steerage and all of a sudden hear the horrific sound of the ship breaking apart. 🤦🏽♂️😭
@Frogsquatch 2.0 yeah but some people never made it out of third class
Who else is here after the Titan disaster?
Same
I started looking into both disasters a bit, and now RUclips is constantly recommending videos to me...
The algorithm found me
Love the video, as well as your other videos, but boy is this a unit-disaster XD
Yes, if somebody could only come up with a well-thought-out unit system replacing all antique unit systems...
@@lswcs SI units, theyre already here but Americans seem to struggle with them for whatever reason 🤷
It makes me feel a little better knowing they only would have lasted 20-30 seconds. Those 20-30 seconds would be absolute hell.
420 to 32 seconds if you hold your breath
No way I found this after the sub imploded 💀
I wonder if the live lobsters in the tanks in the galley made it out. Like, "Hey! We're free! Let's go boys."
lolllll
No. Lobsters can't survive in that temperature.
@@johnzkeePW Juvenile and adult lobsters have been reported in waters with temperatures ranging from 0-25°C and with salinities ranging from 15-32 ppt, but temperatures from 15-18°C and salinities of 20-25 ppt are preferred." The water temperature around RMS Titanic Wreck Site changes extremely during the year. The temperature ranges from 7.5°C (45.6°F) in February up to 21.8°C (71.3°F) in the month of October. You joke killing douche.
But if there were any live ones, I'm sure they couldn't survive at the massive depth pressure. Let's not over analyze my silly remark.
To cold for them !
Thank you for this information which was very interesting. Titantic means alot to me.
Why did you go on the ship? Smh stop the cap white boy
Good thing many of those poor trapped souls never had the time to consciously inhale water. Panic coughing followed by more water must be the worst.
Thank you this answered all my questions
The good thing is that the bow if the ship most likely would have been fully flooded and there wouldn't be anyone alive trapped there anymore, so nobody would have to experience being trapped for hours there until the ship imploded.
So we all watching this after the Titan Submarine?
Just come across your channel ironically under a video of the recent tragedy 😔. I'm glad i did though as this has to be one of the best video's recording this kind of information of the titanic sinking .your narration is great 👍 👌 and I've liked and subscribed straight away. Watched a hell of alot of video of that tragic night .read alot of books but your video has like i said one of the best .i love anything dark science so will be watching more of your uploads 😊thanks again .just heard at the end you have anthor channel .questions for history heading right there to find it now as that also interests me 👍sorry I've typed in questions for history but alot of channels are coming up .is there anyway you can put up a link
7:02 locomotive is DB 50 2740 a 2-10-0 locomotive for freight trains during 1948-1987
All nice but why use feet when there is metric system?
@levity lad About 7 billion people do
Because gringos still live in the 18th century
@levity lad and thats mean...? ¿
Why doesn't the map contain the Republic of Ireland? The last stop Titanic made was at QueensTown (now Cobh) in County Cork in the Republic of Ireland.
Ironically it was built in Belfast (now Northern) Ireland but the map either portrayed the scale of Ireland incorrectly in relation to Britain and Europe or was some what rather crudely drawn.
There was no Republic of Ireland then.
@@JATP-wp6eh the nation didn't exist in 1912, but the actual actual land is missing from the map
The sinking would have crushed most bones because the marrow at the center wouldn't have had time to equalize the pressure given how fast it sunk.
This video should be blowing up right about now
Very good explanation of the HMS TITANIC.
IT must have been awful for the passengers and staff and crew .
So many deaths .I feel that no more attempts to find out or send submersible s down they should leave the disaster in the past and the passengers graves alone if their is any remains left .
Is sacrilege keep trying to get stuff for museums the diamond rings that ladies wore rotted away with wearing them and now yanks have them in museums for 💰💰💰💰making. Do they rob graves too woudnt be surprised. That jewelry should be passed down to relatives not put in museums to gawk at! I hope the people who stole these got karma big time
Trust the algorithm to flood the youtube feed with videos like this since the Titan tragedy.
Hey great video!
What is the original song at 3:25 called? The melody seems really familiar but I don't remember
Green sleeves
@@darkscienceyt thanks! :)
I think some song in a video game used a variation of this iconic melody but I never knew the original
Amazing video 😃 answered alot of questions I had and more! Xx
Great upload hello from Australia ")
Imagine being one of the people in the water-tight compartments. You might have a few more seconds to panic before the room implodes.
I know I'm a year and a half late for this, but the bow probably would have been completely filled by the time of the final plunge so nobody alive would have had to experience being trapped there for hours on end until the bow imploded. Plus, most of the 1500 victims died by hypothermia, not drowning or being trapped in the ship.
What a time to be recommaned this
Would the ship's structure hold back some pressure? How far down can you sink in an air pocket within a strong room or something? Like in a submarine? Good video, just asking.
Eh... some? But not NEARLY enough to withstand the pressure at the bottom.
It wouldn't help you much anyway when you get that deep at crush depth you're not even going to know anything about it any way. Besides everything getting compressed down including air.
Thanks for explaining 👊
Please include metric units next time
nothing like making a vid with units only a few million people use when you're uploading to a network of 7 billion people
Thank you for using the only civilized measurement system in the world, not metrics.
@@MrKen-wy5dk imperial is good for rough estimates like "its about an inch'' or "can you move that about a foot to the right" etc but metric millimetres are much better for fine measurement, 1000ths of an inch is way more complicated. And miles are too big for accurate navigation, it was so weird to see fractions on street signs when i first visited USA.
@@MrKen-wy5dk is probably being sarcastic lol
"Few million" US population is 340 million and english speaking population is 1 billion. first language english? 360 billion. makes more sense than you think
Amazing video !!!! Very well done !!
There have been lots of disasters in human history but for whatever reason this one seems to be the most interesting. I don’t know what it is but we are still talking about it.
7:04 There were also some survivor accounts of what sounded like an explosion not too long after the ship sank completely.
Who’s here after the Ocean Gate Sub imploded?
Anyone know the song at 3:30 ?
I think it could be cool if you made a video on one topic on each of the channels, a video about the history and a video about the science of it
On RUclips, there is a simulation of the sinking in real time. It really give one a sense of how intense and terrifying it must have been. I would imagine the suction of the hull sinking would have brought many far under water very quickly.
I wonder how many people were still on the bow end of the ship when it sank. I would think most people still onboard would have migrated to the stern as it was sinking, unless they had no way to get there.
Nicely done ....🎉 thanks!😊
20-30 seconds then imploding under the pressure within a millisecond without even knowing it, not feeling pain wouldve been a mercy. thank god they wouldnt have to endure more horror
How long did it take people who died in the water to fall to the Titanic?
Man, you really broke it down alot better then me. My wife ask about that to me and I try to tell her
ive had hypothermia and was shaking but then felt sleepy,i could have happily drifted off but somebody kept friggin telling me to stay talking to them
My worst fear is drowning so this had to be horrific to them so sad 😢 and complete darkness also very scary
I love blending history and science!
same
who else came back to watch this after submarine gate
The good news is they probably didn't feel a thing.
They were smashed, like a bug that was stepped on by an elephant.
