@@ChrisBPlayz You can pick up "On A Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the RMS Titanic" through most retailers, but sometimes they don't order enough to meet demand, so sometimes Amazon will be out of stock. Don't go for first or second edition hardbacks, only go for the Third Edition (softcover), which has all of the latest revisions in print. If you would like to order direct from the publisher, Amberley Books (based in the UK), they usually have a good supply on hand. You can also pick up a copy of our latest book, "Titanic: Solving the Mysteries", which has some groundbreaking research in there on the time difference between Titanic's clocks and time ashore, and also about the timing of certain late wireless transmissions -- which has overturned a lot of old, often-repeated (but never thoroughly studied for accuracy) 'factoids'. This includes the late transmission overheard by the Virginian, which did not come from Titanic, which has been referred to elsewhere in these comments.
2 : 20 AM Titanic is gone. Survivors on the surface report hearing the ship breaking apart... ' * Pitch darkness * Water is freezing, you will die from hypothermia within 16 minutes * A ship that you were on literally just sank making all sorts of scary noises.. * Even if you are in a lifeboat you have to suffer from the cold, hear the screams and cries of people in the water slowly dying.. * And the ship is now underwater, continuously breaking apart.. Nightmare, this is the definition of a nightmare, RIP all those who died that night.
But one guy lived through that cold out there in the water because he was boozed up on whiskey! I always heard it made it 10 times worse? Makes you think if people drank like him maybe more would have survived..
@@sbphillips177 A ship is sinking in the middle of freezing nowhere, Not enough lifeboats = passengers know they will probably die since the water is freezing and you won't last long in it ( hypothermia ) In a disaster scenario like that, it has a huge impact on the human mind, and those passengers couldn't really think logically. Everyone was busy trying to stay on the ship a bit more and stay out of the water, I bet most of them weren't going " alcohol warms up the body and therefore....if I get drunk I could survive the water ? " in their heads, the priority is stay away from the damn water.
@@danieldoo1821 Agree 1000%..I was just infering that it was possibly a ticket to living if it did what I mistakenly thought it did..I thought the guy was just drunk and in a lifejacket in rhe water like everyone not clinging aboard anything and miraculously lived..someone miscomunicated what I read.I see someone wrote below the guy lived because he was out of the water..I knew something was off wirh that story.
It's amazing that back then they could build such an impressive ship with no computer technology, no CAD software or anything. Just hand drawn blueprints and wicked smart people.
This has to be the most magnificent and yet most chilling recreation I have seen to date. Titanic in full sail, even with a few bugs, is awe inspiring. The collision scene short sharp and drives home how heartbreakingly vulnerable the ship really was. The final breakup was utterly horrific and terrifying. At this point I am of the opinion that had I lived to that moment in the sinking the ship ripping herself apart would have put me into cardiac arrest.
@ko7577 you can shut off the projector. I have an absolute love for history and respect for those lost. To have as accurate as possible a grasp on how an event happened does not make for a ghoul. It makes for someone desiring not to repeat history.
This is the most accurate version of the sinking of the Titanic according to all the eyewitnesses, thank you! and as James Cameron said: "You can make the most accurate guess as possible, but you will never know what really happened there."
I absolutely agree. I'm sure we will never have it truly 100 percent right. Who knows, maybe it rolled onto its side more so than we think it did. Never know. But we can be pretty close though in terms of guessing.
Thank you. We tried very hard to get this as close to a 'bullseye' between what eyewitnesses reported and the forensic evidence on the wreck. We have a few things to tweak out, we hope, for next year, but what you see here is the result of a LOT of work and research on the subject over the course of many years.
@@reminiscer15 I always wondered why they don’t just debunk the theory by building another life size titanic and hitting and iceberg on the side and see how it goes down? I mean without people of course and on broad daylight. That would be cool to watch.
I actually prefer Cameron's film version as it is based off of eyewitness accounts. It was Lightoller who said the ship got to an angle of "about 60 degrees" -- Eva Hart who saw it break in half. Both Hart said the ship stood straight up, or, as Lightoller said, "absolutely perpendicular" Perhaps they didn't see what they thought they saw but the fact that it's based on eyewitness accounts adds an authenticity to it that the ever changing videos on how it "really happened" can't.
"I did not wish to see her go down. I am glad I did not." -J. Bruce Ismay I think he's been unfairly villainized. He was an absolute wreck after the disaster and obviously cared about what happened.
@Buba Joe No, they were humans, with natural human-like fears. You can brag about what you THINK you would have done, but I am 100% certain that if you were in those boats, you'd be just as afraid of your boat getting swamped.
@Buba Joe I hope one day you get the chance to be on a sinking ship, in icey cold waters and get to back up your claims of bravery and heroism. Its easy to speculate when your feet are on solid land, warm and dry. Safe in your home. Not in the pitch black, miles from land in the frozen sea watching your beloved ship dissapear into the depths...
Joseph Bruce Ismay insisted that the number of life boats be cut in half to maximize deck space and insisted that Titanic increase her speed. He is the reason for the disaster, the reason the majority of people died, and he was a coward that snuck his way onto a life boat and got away with his life while the people he purposefully and knowingly put at risk froze and drowned.
The thing that shocked me was the speed of the sinking after the water reached the bridge. Most of the ship was still above the sea, but just a few minutes later it was all gone. A nightmare, shall everyone rest in peace.
2:32:41 Pay attention to the B Deck windows. Those are going down extremely fast even at this point! You have to realise that once C Deck was going under, stuff sped up SO much.
Because during a sinking like the Titanic (damaged hull) there are usually 3 phases. The first is rush of water inside the ship which very fast until it subsidizes and slows down a lot when the air pressure inside the ship equalizes. The ship is then in a sort of "stable situation" for a bit in which she sinks but it's relatively slow and this lasts until the ship still has enough reserve buyonacy. When the water weight is enough to cause the ship to be to dense to float, it starts to sink again very fast plunging down into the sea
I was just going to comment on this. Even at around 2:05 with the band playing their final songs, the forecastle deck is still somewhat out of the water. It's amazing to think that in only 15 minutes it's broken in multiple pieces and gone. Such a quick death. Amazing.
@@ShawnieP512 Once the water started to reach those open public spaces on the upper decks it was going to speed up drastically. Up until that point the only way for the water to enter the ship is through the damage from the collision, and apart from the cargo holds and the damaged engine rooms there are a lot of tight corridors so not a lot of space for the water to occupy, it really speeds up once the water found other ways to enter the ship on the higher decks.
I never knew Andrews ran like hell terrified up the grand staircase each deck from below to tell the Captain on the bridge that the ship is destined to sink. The film made him seem mostly calm. But yeah, the horror he must have felt once he saw 5 compartments breached with no hope of getting the water out must have been like a fist grabbing his heart.
@@thweepz your wrong tho. No one was really that low in the ship at that time because its only cargo and the first people to know of the water would be Boiler Room 6, 5 and the "mail clerks". They did not die early because they were spotted on the top decks as well. And also, people are not really trapped in the ship. The bulkheads do not have watertight doors on the ceilings or something. All they have to do is go up a deck higher, so they wouldn't have died earlier. The mail clerks dragged the mail one Deck higher when water reached the mail room (9 mins after collision), then even higher when water reached the next deck
@@thoji215 maybe I’m wrong about the internal. I always thought that they would have to travel through some of the doors to get up to the compartments that had an outlet to the upper decks. That’s what they did on the britannic during shift change so I thought the same would apply for Titanic.
Thank you, Liam. I have to admit that seeing those last 5-10 minutes with the correct music playing and seeing the ship take its final plunge and break up and sink the way it was actually reported to have happened -- with the sound effects? It leaves me physically shaky every time I watch and listen to it.
@@atlanticliners question here: if this animation is based on the book, why a 19 degree angle is depicted before the break when the book says the ship was at a 30 degree angle when it broke?
@@HugoGHA Very observant! Good question. We are continually refining our research and conclusions on the matter, and as we worked on this animation, we found reason to alter our previous conclusions somewhat. We still have some refinements to make, but that is the great thing about Titanic: serious study always nets more information.
@@atlanticliners tbh I really think a 30 degree angle makes more sense, as it accounts with the survivors, who said people were slipping off the ship. In anyways, I also found interesting the breakup theory, it's good to finally see a visible break that actually makes sense, Mengot's theory had it's hidden break issue, now I feel this one gets a more accurate view at it.
@@atlanticliners and also, to help with the research, I would recommend taking a look at the sparks leaving off the 2nd funnel as it collapses, it has been reported by a good amount of survivors, most noticeably Jack Thayer. And one more thing, the panic on the ship likely started at 1:32 AM and slowly increased throughout the rest of the sinking (because at that moment people would see the forecastle disappearing in the water and realize the ship was sinking), instead of starting at 2:17 AM like the animation depicts.
I was glued to the whole thing. Even after seeing previous animations, I still can't get used to the sound of distress rockets firing off. Makes me jump every time. Witnessing this whole event with people, sound effects, voice-acting, and gunshots really make this pivotal moment in history come alive. For the first time besides Titanic Animations' real-time sinking videos, this presentation agrees with the first-hand accounts from as far as my own collective knowledge. It's as authentic as it possibly gets, in my opinion. What I didn't expect was the final moments during the break-up and the ship finally disappearing. The last six minutes were nothing short of absolute horror. I didn't fully appreciate how quickly and violently this unfolded until now. The things that were going through me, I wondered if that's how the survivors felt. I didn't have to imagine anymore; it felt as if you were actually there. Knowing this project was under the direction of the co-authors of "On A Sea of Glass," I couldn't help but feel the anticipation of watching this animation with sound included. I give my utmost gratitude and appreciation to those involved with presenting the most authentic depiction of the Titanic tragedy. Well done, everyone! You have my seal of approval.
Thank you, Lucas. A lot of hard work went into this, but comments like these make it all worthwhile. I have to say that the final video stunned even us -- I actually asked the others at one point, "Guys, what did we make here?" It left me feeling shaky after the first time I watched the sinking, because it was so real to what reportedly occurred that night and the forensic information that the wreck site offers.
@Jens Nobel Hello, Mr. Nobel, and thank you so much for your kind note. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say we appreciate hearing such thoughtful feedback, and that we are glad you appreciated the work we put into the project. That's a good catch, by the way! If I recall correctly, when we were doing the animation, we chose not to do a specific pattern to the light flashing, as we had simply run out of time, opting instead just to show the lights blinking in a sort of 'long' 'short' pattern and didn't have time to get more complex than that. I believe that this is on our list of updates for when we revise the animation in the future. However, given the fact that Morse code is becoming something of a 'lost language' let me say that I am heartened to hear that someone who works in the field still knows it and can read it so quickly! Again, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts and impressions on the animation as a whole. All our best, and take care!
@Jens Nobel I appreciate your description of it being like “the ship is crying out in anger and protesting her untimely death”. Sounds absolutely terrifying
The sounds of the ship breaking up just before it’s final plunge is exactly how I’ve always imagined it to have sounded like, with the almost primal deafening groaning of steel and muffled explosions and not to mention the terrible screams. I don’t know what would have been worse, clinging on to the stern when it went almost vertical and knowing you’re number is up, or being in a life raft and having to witness that great vessel break apart and hear those screams until they fell silent. It’s the stuff of nightmares and to be perfectly honest I’m absolutely petrified of large ships and deep oceans for some reason. They always seem to me extremely ominous and foreboding, and despite their great size, the ocean is far, far larger and can destroy the greatest of mankind’s creations like child’s play.
Thank you for the compliments regarding the sound, Dany'el. We actually spent quite a bit of time compiling all of the eyewitness accounts regarding sound and putting them into a timeline so that they could be recreated at just the right times. The first time I listened to the completed audio I was shaking afterward. It was exactly what they had described.
@@atlanticliners Mate, it shows how much hard work and diligence you and your team put into making this video. My great uncle (Marshall Napoleon Hart aka Lee Marshall) died during WWII while captaining a liberty ship (USS WILLIAM.H.WELCH) for the Americans and the story of that has always stoked my interest and my imagination of how absolutely terrifying it would be having a ship break apart like it was a matchstick would fill your last few moments of life with petrifying terror. The sounds have always been a point of fascination as it’s something overlooked but I think it would be absolutely deafening. The sound of the boilers, the screams, the haunting bell sounds, officers giving orders in the clipped and precise way they spoke, the steel groaning and buckling, and water gushing in and breaking glass and knocking over everything in its wake. You guys really painted such a vivid picture with the sound so thanks so much for your efforts bro.
When boarding the Queen Mary in Long Beach I always look at the steel hull and think "How could this POSSIBLY have split in half?" The sound must've been terrifying .. probably a lot like the twin tower collapse in NYC.
The cinematography of this video is absolutely incredible. I personally prefer this video than the other real time sinking videos. Great work and thank you for posting!
I can't imagine how the peoples, kids, babies and pets was going through the tragedy at that night. With not enough lifeboats, everyone is struggle and fight for their life. Oh God, please bless their soul. Rest in peace.😢
The lifeboats were more then required, the Board Of Trade, the normal number of lifeboats is 16 but the RMS Titanic had 20 lifeboats including the 2 cutter boats and 4 collapsible boats.
@@WhiteStarLine647 couldn't have even saved half of the max capacity of the ship with the 24 confirmed life boats onboard. and maritime law changed forever after this to require more life boats. TOO FEW BOATS and human error caused this tragedy and spreading misinformation about a 100 yo Tragedy with a goofy name and picture is incredibly disrespectful.
Wow, the breakup totally caught me off guard. I can now understand why some eye witnesses argued it sank in one peice. I remember reading an article in a Dutch newspaper around 1998 which had a comic like sequence of the sinking depicting certain movements of the ship during sinking which I have not seen in any recreations until this one.
I agree. In some angles, it actually does look like it's sinking in one piece. Especially from far away. Basically if you were very close, especially facing the boat deck, it would be very obvious that it broke in half. But if you were much further away and potentially even looking at the back of the ship, it would look more like it sank intact, maybe just losing some parts of it here and there.
What is more horrific is, All that ocean water flooding the ship, How heavy did the bow section get that it literally pulled the stern out of the lethal water into the air, and the pressure of that broke the ship into 2. Water, if it's in the ocean, can be a scary thing.
I watched your prior video when it came out. But this newer one left me speechless. It's very moving. Especially the sound and having actors voice the parts that you've added. I've never seen anything like this. You're recreating what happened to people so others can understand what they went through in real time-idk how to explain it-told you I lacked words!
Right in the opening of this video I want to congratulate the team behind its creation. I have been fascinated by the RMS Titanic disaster as far back as I can remember, and the creators managed to provide the viewer with a perspective of the impressive size of the ship right from the early frames. No other animation or SFX representation of the ship that I have seen shows the scale of this vessel like this video. Seriously impressive! This is also the first representation I recll ever seeing in which the speed in which Titanic's deadly injury was identified. Every report or account I have ever read suggested it took much longer for SSmith and his crew to identify that she was mortally wounded. Not an extreme length of time, mind you, but longer than is shown here.
Amazing animation thank you, also just wanted to point out in the voice over of captain smith where he orders Murdoch to close the watertight doors and Boxhall to inspect the bow for any damage, in his interview in 1962 Boxhall stated that Smith did not ask him to inspect the ship, he did it almost immediately after the ship hit the iceberg of his own accord and then reported back to the captain. Other than that this has got to be the most accurate I’ve seen and so very detailed. Thanks again for uploading :)
To me it seems that Boxhall was very busy during the whole sinking. First he inspected and checked the Mail Room, later he was engaged with computing the position of the ship for the distress calls, getting and firing the distress rockets, trying to contact the ghost ship by morse lights, then commanding lifeboat no 2 and entering the Carpathia as the first lifeboat, reporting to Captain Rostron. I wished that Captain Smith would have been so engaged rather than paralized.
OMG! This was incredibly done. I watched it all the way through and the timing is just... wow. You actually get a sense of what the people were going through right from the beginning. It gave me goosebumps. I felt like I was there. My heart broke as I watched the water rushing in. Thank you for posting this. You guys did an awesome job!
I think your version of the break-up is by far the most accurate as this is in fact how most survivors actually said it happened. The fact that she broke twice not once . Very nice animation !
The sound effects and vouces are very haunting. I started watching this unexpectedly, late the other night, and I couldnt stop. An amazing and fitting piece of work that sat with me for a while afterwards. RIP to all those that lost their lives that night.
2:40:20 this is what im most fascinated about, the power on titanic, you got a emergency generater kicking in and keeping SOME lights just burning for a lil while, WHILE THE SHIP IS IN HALF 😯
@@DutchDukeMan very true, eerie to think people could have been deep inside the ship still able to see when the ship was fully submerged, before you know, the imploding
@@DutchDukeMan The emergency lights were not on for very long, I have read somewhere that survivors have reported the emergency lights going out just before the ship went under completely. It wouldn't have taken the water very long to reach that backup generator.
At first when I've seen animations of the lights staying on, I always thought that was just a glitch or an editing mistake but apparently some lights really did stay on. Didn't think that was possible once the ship broke apart. I'm sure it was only for a few seconds though.
Titanic sank in the exact same way that I study for my exams. Basically no action in the beginning, then cramming it all in the last few moments before its due
Yes, this animation is highly accurate and phenomenal, but,..it depicts a true event, a real life tragedy, I admit the way it is made is awesome, but what it portrays, it's utter nightmare. RIP all those who died in the worst maritime disaster for a passenger liner..
2:40:30 -- The Titanic seen from several hundred yards away: although the people in the boats would have _seen_ nothing much more than a silhouette, they would have _heard_ the splitting steel, the churning water, and the screams of the hundreds still on board the ship or in the water perfectly well: water is an incredible carrier of sound.
Water doesn't just cause sound carrying effects, it also act as a powerful echo generator, making the noise even more ominous than it would naturally be
If you've read what the survivors said, they could see plenty. No one said "It was so dark I didn't see when the ship sank" It may have been dark, but it was;t pitch black, like many commenters seem to think.
Their eyes would have been slowly adjusting as the power faded to an orange color. The 1997 movie shows super bright lights that suddenly snap out, but it was really a more gradual process.
Yes plus they show the great liner splitting into 3 and not 2 which we've actually known for a long time but other animations don't show,in fact the middle section separated into 3 on falling to the Ocean floor so two obviously big sections then the big pile and another two I think..
This was honestly amazing. In my opinion the best real time animation so far. You and the authors of On a Sea of Glass did perfectly in researching and making this.
Thank you! This is so much better than the THG Titanic: Final Plunge video that depicts Boat B landing on the Boat Deck sideways, the stern at a very shallow angle when the 2nd funnel falls, and the Stern going down sideways. This is now my go-to Titanic real-time sinking video.
It seems ever since the Titanic: Honor and Glory RUclips channel uploaded their Real Time Sinking video, more and more of such videos have been popping up on here. I’m sure Vintage Digital Revival would love to recruit those folks so they could contribute their talents to the Titanic: Honor and Glory game that VDR is making.
@@michaelmurray11189 Agreed. Maybe it would put an end to my confusion. I'm following THG and Titanic Animation, now we have this one (which is THG but somewhat looking different). I like the idea of a low-angle break, but I also like the stern having the port list increased during the sinking, sideways as Joshua put it, then vertical, then disappearing. I think this detail is based on Joughin's testimony. Many dismiss it because of alcohol, while on the same accept other parts of his testimony (as it seems to me). As a creator (team) of these animations, you have to make decisions that do not please everybody. What I would like to see is, how the sinking angles changed from the collision leading up to the final plunge. I like the cameras going back and forth, no doubt, but I would like to see a timelaps side-elevation, which could show e.g. first propellor blade surfacing (counting in a list), and at the same time the water level at the bow, etc., or the ther way round, when the water reaches the side bow anchors, what was the sight at the stern?
@@harvestercommander3250 Yes, and I believe that was Joughin, and some seem to not believe it since he consumed alcohol, but on the same side believing him that he heard the ship buckling (first signs of the break-up) as he was in the galley (?) getting himself some water (!). Sounds to me like cherry-picking.
After having been interested in the Titanic story since I was a kid, I'm 68, I was really excited when the Cameron film came out. But about the only think that I was really unsatisfied with was the last few moment of the sinking. The extent of the stern sticking up in the air was not really believable. I think your version is much more accurate. I also think your view of the breakup is better.
Ditto. I'm 63. I used to peruse over NYT articles on microfiche about the sinking and events afterwards in high school. I also couldn't wait for the Cameron movie - I also saw the other 2 major Titanc movies (A Night to Remember was also excellent - no doubt Cameron copied from it). The Cameron movie got a lot of things wrong (a lot of things correct, also). As far as the last moments are concerned, the Cameron movie used the best info at the time in 1996-ish. Subsequent technology and research results in the predictions/animations we have now.
Cameron said that after the movie was made, the discovery of the degree of the Titanics final sinking was more like what was depicted here but....he wasn't going to remake it. (Me personally...that would drive me nuts that I'd want to remake or fix it somehow but I'm not a millionaire yet...) The other small movie part that bugs me is that Cameron did not depict Molly Browns role accurately. That is (to me) a very important fact so why he skipped over that is odd but...I don't make movies so I'm not sure how much extra it would cost to film an extra 5 min.
Actually, it was Officer Lightoller who said the ship stood up "absolutely perpendicular" (as we saw in the Cameron film). Eva Hart claimed to have also seen it in the position and said that it stayed there for "quite a long time, or what seemed like a long time" as seen in the film. I think people often forget that Cameron's film is based on a combination of survivor accounts because his character, Rose, is supposed to be a survivor as well. The film serves as her memory, not a documentary. When people attack the film they often don't realize they're attacking the claims of an actual survivor who was there that the scene is based off of.
Blown away by how amazing this animation is and how much work went into its making. Absolutely heartbreaking and terrifying 😢 I cannot even begin to imagine the fear of everyone that night. May they all rest in peace.
The animation looks so much better now, with sound fx and the band playing its quite chilling to watch. Thank you for this Levi, Tom, J.Kent Layton and the other authors and historians involved! Also as the description says this video is best watched in 4K if you'r internet can stream it.
'2:20AM - Titanic is gone.' Still the most haunting moment is the last - perhaps the only moment unchanged from the original sinking animation/video, but still, by a country mile, the most poignant, and the most haunting.
2:42:19 That guy yelling while steam yeets him away. Found it funny to even add that to this animation. Personally sinking ship accidents are one of my personal biggest fears, there is no quick death and there is no promise of surviving even if you fight to the death to survive, just pure luck that you need and grit to fight tooth and nail to live.
As I said, the video is a masterpiece, congratulations again to the whole team. But all the people who comment, deserve a round of applause too. The comments are full of respect, experiences and very interesting stories. They are an inexhaustible source of information. You are incredible!!
Wow... I am speechless... this animation is far more better than the old Realtime Sinking THG. (Better say 'a better update'). I did not know the Titanic first listed starboard, and than list to port as we know, and at the end, the list eased on the boat deck. Not to mention the "big piece" broken at the end. I thought it was all the time list to port though!
Stunning. No big-screen musical score, no stern crashing back overdramatically, Best of all, no Jack and Rose. This should be the go-to video when looking for a TITANIC sinking video.
@TheRealLoganYT eh if they pull their cards right with modern technology and engineering, her second life will be life she never had. Carrying her legacy out, and hopefully one day she would have the chance to travel the stars.
This was so sad to watch. One can only imagine the chaos, confusion & agony those people suffered. Even the survivors had to suffer PTSD afterward. Most of the women & children lost the man of the family. This video aptly depicts the real life struggles in this tragedy.
@@StoriedHistory1985 We've actually greatly expanded our available evidence in the last ten years, and this account is not in the book. I don't have it in front of me, so I'm not sure who it was (typing on my phone) at the moment.
@@StoriedHistory1985 Well, we want to get everything together in one spot moving forward. Yet considering that "On A Sea of Glass" is about 400k words... Not sure how much more space any publisher would give us! 😂
White Star did make this claim, but not without qualification. A promotional leaflet from them stated "as far as it is possible to do so, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable".
@Jolly Jumper I 100% agree. It’s the metal groaning that really gets me. Especially at 2:38:45 - 2:39:04. It’s like the ship is fighting: trying as hard as she can to stay afloat, and screaming in anguish in the process. Just horrifying.
Small correction : It wasn't publicly seen until September 1, 1985 It's possible it was found earlier, but never publically disclosed due to the ongoing cold war
@Dorian Hernandez Apparently we'll find out if this is true when the information is disclosed in 2033. Incidentally, the discovery occurred shortly before 2 AM, so naturally, the crew of the _Knorr_ had a short moment of silence.
This is absolutely awesome. Thank you for giving us such a realistic look to this scene! I can't imagine the horrific situation on board. The screams from from the poor people inside or on top of the Titanic and then suddenly... deadly silence when everything was gone. R.I.P. all of them. 🕊️
Oh my god I've been working on a video about First Officer Murdoch and I've read the book obsessively. This literally couldn't have been better timed. Amazing work!
What can I say? You guys have created a definitive work here. A leap in quality compared to what came before matched only by that original pioneering video made five years ago. A masterpiece. A special thank you to all the historians working on the project, bringing a standard of excellence that is so, so necessary in this genre. If this is the future of historical content, much less ocean liner content, I am here for it 100%.
There's at least 1 huge error, saying the last message was sent from Titanic at 2:07 AM. That's factually incorrect. The last signal sent from Titanic was around 2:17 AM. That's a pretty big mistake.
@@raiders7294 Please see the response I made to your other post for updated information. You may also want to have a look at one of our other written works, "Titanic: Solving the Mysteries", which really breaks down the last signals in a lot of detail and helps to dispel some old myths. I hope this helps!
This is so good,im feeling like I'm on the ship right now. Titanic had such a short life,and the passengers had so much to live,the sink of titanic never fails to make me cry.
This was of the most fascinating things I have ever viewed. The graphics were so well done I continually found myself almost lost within the experience myself. An entirely engrossing film. If I could add one bit of hopefully constructive criticism, asking you to receive it only I that intended manner, it would be this - if you ever adapt of change this in the future, I’d ask that perhaps you adding a little chime, or something, whenever graphic text appears. The experience is amazingly transfixing. As a result, I often found myself wrapped up in the excellent visual detail that I missed (or nearly missed) the text. Several times I had to back up in order to not miss something. That’s all I would ask. Anyone interested in the sinking of the HMS Titanic would very much enjoy this. I’ve already told about a dozen friends and family know about this… two of which are watching it right now, and are immersed. Again, you did one incredible job keeping this story alive. Very very well done. 👏🏼
I should note that the _Titanic’s_ prefix was RMS, which stood for “Royal Mail Ship/Steamer.” HMS was used only by ships of the Royal Navy; at the time, it stood for “His Majesty’s Ship.”

I’m 52 and have been completely obsessed with titanic since I was a young boy! It really can permeate ones mind! I’ve spent hours imagining that terrible scene and looking at footage of her on the bottom. Why do I find this fascinating to such a degree?
My father in law was a fisherman and I used to go out on the boat with him, my husband was his deckhand. At night, if it was really calm the water looked like glass. The stars seem to never end, and you had remind yourself that its a mirrored reflection. smh There is NO light. Your eyes have to adjust to the darkness but on a calm night like that you still can't see anything but the stars. Its so sad and it's always gonna be.
It's scary how fast the final plunge is, as soon as the water overflow onto the bridge area/A deck, it only took about 10 minutes for it all to be gone.
Very fast, yes. About five minutes from the 'slight but definite plunge' where Titanic came back up on an even keel and Collapsible A was swamped (at 2:15) to the final disappearance of the fantail (at 2:20).
@@atlanticliners it’s utterly horrifying. I really do appreciate the work you and all the others have done. I have a question for you though, and I’m not sure if you’ll be able to answer it. It’s totally fine if you can’t for legal reasons, but is this sinking theory going to appear in the final version of Titanic: Honor and Glory?
This and Historic Travels made me get the book On A Sea Of Glass, a lot material that every Titanic nut will climb in and never get out. Notice in the sinking diagram with the break up the rear of the bow rose up ever so slightly due to the bending of the keel shoving the decks upwards.
Wow, this is stunning, and very frightening. I've seen a lot of simulations of this incredible voyage, but this one really scared me. Great job of capturing many different angles and some shots that put the audience on the deck, very effective.
What is amazing about this animation is that not only does it show the latest theory of titanic’s breakup, it also shows the danger of a cold front mirage. Mirage usually happens in desert where rising hot air distorts vision on the horizon, however a cold front mirage can happen in the North Atlantic and distort an image. Titanic’s lookouts could have spotted the iceberg with a naked eye, which was why it baffled historians until one realized the iceberg was hidden by a cold front mirage until it was too late.
This has made me reflect on how damn satisfying I find the sound of the engines and how shocking it is and must have been to have them stop and, after a brief return to activity, stay stopped. If that was me, that would have been enough for concern.
You guys spent time and detail into this, good job! Especially with the horrific sounds of the ship moaning and passengers screaming send shivers down my spine.
Thank you for this! Kind of put things in to perspective. As a native Haligonian I've been to the museum several times as I am fascinated by this and a lot of your Mariner content so great job!! Also there is a graveyard in Haliax with many of the lost passengers and there is one stone in particular that says either J. Dawson or Jack D. (Can't remember which) but people leave things like old keys, coats, flowers etc. It's pretty cool!
I've just come here from Mike's "Ocean Liner Designs" He praised this recreation, particularly your depiction of the break up as far more low key than Cameron's highly dramatic depiction. It has always seemed strange, watching that, with the stern plunging back down in a huge and very visible tidal wave, as to how few eyewitness realised that the ship's back had indeed broken, so this seems a far more understandable depiction, given the outcomes of the public inquiries. One thing he did flag up were the light levels. On clear, moonless night like this, apart from the stars against a pitch black sky, there would have been no background glow, nor any illumination whatsoever, once Titanic's lights had failed. So the break up would very probably have appeared as no more than a confusing silouhette, black against the sea of glass, and reflected stars, although of course as a cinematic depiction, this would not have much appeal! So I really applaud your meticulous recreation, taking visibility as far back as possible, without making the results unwatchable. Seriously fine efforts.
I frankly always assumed the scene of a woman slipping and dangling off the side of the ship in the Cameron film was just for dramatic purposes, but I guess I was wrong, as I also remembered it was featured in A Night To Remember
The woman dangling off the ship happened as she tried to get into lifeboat 10. She was pulled into A Deck, and it is thought she came back up onto the Boat Deck and got into the lifeboat after all.
@@billwormstedt9494 Surprised they didn't just lower the boat to A deck and let her get on from there rather than waiting for her to walk back up to get on again. Would have saved some time too, every second counts.
The BAND Were Great people As they played till the very end JUST to calm people down You can see that the people working on the band did a great job with nearer my god to thee....i actually shed a tear GREAT JOB
Apart from the chills this gave me I noticed just how many details cameron put in the film. Like Andrews telling the stewardess to put the lifejacket on.
Omg! Thank you for this! Been waiting since live stream! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ It looks incredibly impressive. Just beautiful. Sad, of course, because it’s Titanic. But spiritual at the same time. Thank you all!
WOW 😳 ! Love! Went back and watch the one from last year to compare! Y'all have come a long way on the breakup! Instead of TITANIC just holding on for a couple of minutes, it just - "Foom!" - in half, and kinda went "James Cameron" style, (instead of sinking sideways)! Totally different and totally Love it!
There should be Academy Awards for RUclipss. This is stunning, just outstanding work you’ve created. Your whole channel is superb, simply the best. Thank you so much for the consistently excellent presentations and your depth of knowledge.
Not just Cameron, almost all Titanic media show it falling to port. I don't know why it was portrayed like that for so long since the accounts and evidence clearly show the funnel felt to starboard. Although the same could be said about Titanic breaking aft of the third funnel or not having a port list while sinking. Stuff that took them years to finally portray correctly (the break up foward of the third funnel and Titanic a 9-10 degrees port list during the sinking).
Awesome vid ! Definitely love the way the break up was done . I’m glad you showcased the other portion of the stern collapsing after its separation from the bow. Other animations just show it break apart and either the stern sinks capsized or it goes almost vertical and sinks. Eye witness saw the stern go up almost vertical and right before she plunged she stood up some time then rotated as she was goin down . I loved that part. Definitely loved the details of the ship up close and far and the noises the vessel made. But the break up part is by far the best Thank you for the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Captain says "how much time" andrews replies" an hour....2 at most... and all this, will be at the bottom of the Atlantic.murdoch gulps.captain in utter shock turns to Bruce and says "well I do believe you'll get your headlines mr.ismay"
A small quibble: Lowe mentioned in testimony that he had a Browning, rather than a revolver. That suggests an FN 1900 or, less likely, a commercial FN 1903.
Excellent animation gentlemen! I'm currently reading "On a Sea of Glass" during down time at work. The book and animation complement each other quite well. My only gripe I have is the sound of the ocean. It makes me think of a river bank which for myself gets annoying by the end...but that's just me. However, I do understand the need for some background noise so everything isn't just silent. Again, brilliant job lads.
i absolutely love this, Tom! :) It’s so nice to have an accurate real-time sinking animation that i can actually agree with. *(also, those exterior shots of the ship at night are giving me T:AOOT vibes)*
We worked very hard to get this right. We have some refinements to make, but this is the most accurate blend of eyewitness accounts and forensic data that is available, and what you see is the result of decades of research on the subject.
This is great thank you for making it, watching it with my 10 year old cousin who is interested in the Titanic. Only thing is we are having a problem with the captions not being on long enough for us to read out loud so we are missing some information, we don't want to pause and unpause because it slightly takes away from the real time aspect. This is otherwise a cool learning tool for her to get a sense of titanics final hours
The most realistic Version of the Breakup i have seen yet, your Video is getting it right where other videos fail and are just unrealistic. You show the breakup as a slow Process of Death and this is what happend back then according to the Documentation Titanic Answers from Abyss from 1999. This video is perfect sir, great work.
This animation is breathtaking and terrifying at the end. Great job. Can't wait for more. Btw there was a familiar sound from Britannic: PotM just before the break up. It sounded as if the keel had suddenly bent upwards followed by the break up. It was amazing! And it gave me a terrifying feeling.
@@Freakingfantasticfilms If I were to guess, it was to differentiate this sinking animation from the THG one. I've seen many fan-made animations based on this, the TA sinking, and the original THG sinking, and most of them take the sounds from the THG video directly. If this animation used the exact same sounds as the THG version, people unfamiliar with the two separate projects might get them confused or think they're related in some way.
That is very true, excellent observation. However to create this particular depiction, we took decades of experience researching the disaster (and in particular, years of work on the breakup of the ship) -- comparing eyewitness evidence and forensic data available on the wreck -- and came up with something that more accurately depicts the ship's final few minutes than has ever been made available before. It is not perfect, and we have some refinements in mind for the future, but this is as close as we could get for this year. We truly hope that you enjoy the video.
@@atlanticliners Thank you for your answer! I think the difference often lies in the angle, how high the bow raised before splitting, and whether the split occured in plain sight or below the waterline (explaining why so many eyeswitnesses were contradictory and said it sank intact). The 1997 film for instance made the angle very sharp and a clean break which couldn't have been missed by eyewitnesses (it made it more dramatic and visual for cinematic purposes I suppose). One thing that always confused me was the following, the baker who was later rescued, who was on the bow during the sinking, and said he barely got his hair wet when the bow finally went under, would have provided a perfect account of the break up and final plunge. One more analysis was made recently presenting a version of the break up that is very different to any other theory established up until now. I wonder what James Cameron would this of this one haha. What do you think of this new break up theory? ruclips.net/video/E_5yCoFuuww/видео.html
@@Nurembergwarcriminal Hello. No, the breakup shown in the 1997 James Cameron film was not accurate in many ways; even James Cameron has made public statements on the matter in the years since. Quite simply, much has been learned about the way the ship came apart since 1997, and we also have greatly furthered our understanding of what eyewitnesses reported. The depiction you see in this film is the most accurate amalgamation of our up-to-date understanding of each of those two points (wreck forensics and eyewitness statements). We do have refinements in mind, but at this point, this is as good as it gets. Thank you for your question!
The old lady Rose in "Titanic" was accurate when she commented about the forensic video recreation "The experience of it was some what different". I worked in NYC on Sept 11, stood one block away and witnessed the WTC south tower come down. All I could think was this has to be like sitting in a lifeboat watching Titanic. Like Rose, for me the sight and loud sound of the tower coming down, seeing jumpers, the dust cloud, can't be appreciated from a video, the experience of it was definitely something others will never know.
@@captnemo8069 wow you saw it fall. Just knowing thousands of innocent people died during that is insane to me. Could you imagine. I remember listening to 911 calls of people stuck on the top floors them saying they can feel the buildings swaying and then they fall. The people having to choose to burn or jump. Horrible, tragic day that certainly was. It’s unfortunate we experience these tragedies as often as we do.
Due to RUclips's compression and what it does with dark videos, we strongly recommend watching in 4K when possible. This video has been brightened for the sake of visibility. We are also aware that we are missing the light on the foremast.
Question if it’s ok to ask. Where can you get the book, but the cheapest one if there is one?
The last message sent from Titanic was around 2:17 AM, not 2:07 AM. That's a pretty huge mistake you've made here.
@@ChrisBPlayz You can pick up "On A Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the RMS Titanic" through most retailers, but sometimes they don't order enough to meet demand, so sometimes Amazon will be out of stock. Don't go for first or second edition hardbacks, only go for the Third Edition (softcover), which has all of the latest revisions in print. If you would like to order direct from the publisher, Amberley Books (based in the UK), they usually have a good supply on hand. You can also pick up a copy of our latest book, "Titanic: Solving the Mysteries", which has some groundbreaking research in there on the time difference between Titanic's clocks and time ashore, and also about the timing of certain late wireless transmissions -- which has overturned a lot of old, often-repeated (but never thoroughly studied for accuracy) 'factoids'. This includes the late transmission overheard by the Virginian, which did not come from Titanic, which has been referred to elsewhere in these comments.

Great job I like this version it has high quality and it explains and has voice acting :D

Titanic is gone.
Survivors on the surface report hearing the ship breaking apart... '
* Pitch darkness
* Water is freezing, you will die from hypothermia within 16 minutes
* A ship that you were on literally just sank making all sorts of scary noises..
* Even if you are in a lifeboat you have to suffer from the cold, hear the screams and cries of people in the water slowly dying..
* And the ship is now underwater, continuously breaking apart..
Nightmare, this is the definition of a nightmare,
RIP all those who died that night.
bonus fact: you're either on a tiny rescue boat, or even treading in icy waters, in midst of an ocean, hundreds of miles off the next shore line
But one guy lived through that cold out there in the water because he was boozed up on whiskey! I always heard it made it 10 times worse? Makes you think if people drank like him maybe more would have survived..
@@sbphillips177
A ship is sinking in the middle of freezing nowhere,
Not enough lifeboats = passengers know they will probably die since the water is freezing and you won't last long in it ( hypothermia )
In a disaster scenario like that, it has a huge impact on the human mind, and those passengers couldn't really think logically.
Everyone was busy trying to stay on the ship a bit more and stay out of the water, I bet most of them weren't going
" alcohol warms up the body and therefore....if I get drunk I could survive the water ? " in their heads,
the priority is stay away from the damn water.
@@sbphillips177 That is not true. Joughin survived because he climbed on collapsible B. And alcohol does not make a person immune to cold.
@@danieldoo1821 Agree 1000%..I was just infering that it was possibly a ticket to living if it did what I mistakenly thought it did..I thought the guy was just drunk and in a lifejacket in rhe water like everyone not clinging aboard anything and miraculously lived..someone miscomunicated what I read.I see someone wrote below the guy lived because he was out of the water..I knew something was off wirh that story.
It's amazing that back then they could build such an impressive ship with no computer technology, no CAD software or anything. Just hand drawn blueprints and wicked smart people.
lots of math was probably involved as well

This has to be the most magnificent and yet most chilling recreation I have seen to date. Titanic in full sail, even with a few bugs, is awe inspiring. The collision scene short sharp and drives home how heartbreakingly vulnerable the ship really was. The final breakup was utterly horrific and terrifying. At this point I am of the opinion that had I lived to that moment in the sinking the ship ripping herself apart would have put me into cardiac arrest.
Titanic
@ko7577 you can shut off the projector. I have an absolute love for history and respect for those lost. To have as accurate as possible a grasp on how an event happened does not make for a ghoul. It makes for someone desiring not to repeat history.
RMS titanic nuclearship reactor
This is the most accurate version of the sinking of the Titanic according to all the eyewitnesses, thank you! and as James Cameron said: "You can make the most accurate guess as possible, but you will never know what really happened there."
I absolutely agree. I'm sure we will never have it truly 100 percent right. Who knows, maybe it rolled onto its side more so than we think it did. Never know. But we can be pretty close though in terms of guessing.
Thank you. We tried very hard to get this as close to a 'bullseye' between what eyewitnesses reported and the forensic evidence on the wreck. We have a few things to tweak out, we hope, for next year, but what you see here is the result of a LOT of work and research on the subject over the course of many years.
@@reminiscer15 I always wondered why they don’t just debunk the theory by building another life size titanic and hitting and iceberg on the side and see how it goes down? I mean without people of course and on broad daylight. That would be cool to watch.
@@juniorsir9521 Money, obviously. Imagine how much that would cost. All to just..sink it in 3 hours.
I actually prefer Cameron's film version as it is based off of eyewitness accounts. It was Lightoller who said the ship got to an angle of "about 60 degrees" -- Eva Hart who saw it break in half. Both Hart said the ship stood straight up, or, as Lightoller said, "absolutely perpendicular" Perhaps they didn't see what they thought they saw but the fact that it's based on eyewitness accounts adds an authenticity to it that the ever changing videos on how it "really happened" can't.

"I did not wish to see her go down. I am glad I did not." -J. Bruce Ismay
I think he's been unfairly villainized. He was an absolute wreck after the disaster and obviously cared about what happened.
@Buba Joe No, they were humans, with natural human-like fears. You can brag about what you THINK you would have done, but I am 100% certain that if you were in those boats, you'd be just as afraid of your boat getting swamped.
@Buba Joe You wouldn't say that if you were in that situation. Don't speak on something that was so traumitizing for so many people.
@Buba Joe I hope one day you get the chance to be on a sinking ship, in icey cold waters and get to back up your claims of bravery and heroism. Its easy to speculate when your feet are on solid land, warm and dry. Safe in your home. Not in the pitch black, miles from land in the frozen sea watching your beloved ship dissapear into the depths...
Joseph Bruce Ismay insisted that the number of life boats be cut in half to maximize deck space and insisted that Titanic increase her speed. He is the reason for the disaster, the reason the majority of people died, and he was a coward that snuck his way onto a life boat and got away with his life while the people he purposefully and knowingly put at risk froze and drowned.
The thing that shocked me was the speed of the sinking after the water reached the bridge.
Most of the ship was still above the sea, but just a few minutes later it was all gone.
A nightmare, shall everyone rest in peace.
2:32:41 Pay attention to the B Deck windows. Those are going down extremely fast even at this point! You have to realise that once C Deck was going under, stuff sped up SO much.
Because during a sinking like the Titanic (damaged hull) there are usually 3 phases. The first is rush of water inside the ship which very fast until it subsidizes and slows down a lot when the air pressure inside the ship equalizes. The ship is then in a sort of "stable situation" for a bit in which she sinks but it's relatively slow and this lasts until the ship still has enough reserve buyonacy. When the water weight is enough to cause the ship to be to dense to float, it starts to sink again very fast plunging down into the sea
I was just going to comment on this. Even at around 2:05 with the band playing their final songs, the forecastle deck is still somewhat out of the water. It's amazing to think that in only 15 minutes it's broken in multiple pieces and gone. Such a quick death. Amazing.
@@ShawnieP512 Once the water started to reach those open public spaces on the upper decks it was going to speed up drastically. Up until that point the only way for the water to enter the ship is through the damage from the collision, and apart from the cargo holds and the damaged engine rooms there are a lot of tight corridors so not a lot of space for the water to occupy, it really speeds up once the water found other ways to enter the ship on the higher decks.
I mean... once the water reaches the bridge it has access to literally the entire ship
I never knew Andrews ran like hell terrified up the grand staircase each deck from below to tell the Captain on the bridge that the ship is destined to sink. The film made him seem mostly calm. But yeah, the horror he must have felt once he saw 5 compartments breached with no hope of getting the water out must have been like a fist grabbing his heart.
@Hunter Bridge (which then burst due to pressure, killing the first 2 people on the titanic)
@@thoji215 yes it burst but the people trapped in the front compartments prolly died first
@@thweepz your wrong tho. No one was really that low in the ship at that time because its only cargo and the first people to know of the water would be Boiler Room 6, 5 and the "mail clerks". They did not die early because they were spotted on the top decks as well.
And also, people are not really trapped in the ship. The bulkheads do not have watertight doors on the ceilings or something. All they have to do is go up a deck higher, so they wouldn't have died earlier.
The mail clerks dragged the mail one Deck higher when water reached the mail room (9 mins after collision), then even higher when water reached the next deck
@@thoji215 maybe I’m wrong about the internal. I always thought that they would have to travel through some of the doors to get up to the compartments that had an outlet to the upper decks. That’s what they did on the britannic during shift change so I thought the same would apply for Titanic.
@@thoji215 but I think one thing I overlooked is the escape ladders so yeah I can see that. Thanks for the heads up
This is both terrifying and beautiful. The break up looks absolutely horrific and the band playing Nearer My God To Thee is heartbreaking.
Thank you, Liam. I have to admit that seeing those last 5-10 minutes with the correct music playing and seeing the ship take its final plunge and break up and sink the way it was actually reported to have happened -- with the sound effects? It leaves me physically shaky every time I watch and listen to it.
@@atlanticliners question here: if this animation is based on the book, why a 19 degree angle is depicted before the break when the book says the ship was at a 30 degree angle when it broke?
@@HugoGHA Very observant! Good question. We are continually refining our research and conclusions on the matter, and as we worked on this animation, we found reason to alter our previous conclusions somewhat. We still have some refinements to make, but that is the great thing about Titanic: serious study always nets more information.
@@atlanticliners tbh I really think a 30 degree angle makes more sense, as it accounts with the survivors, who said people were slipping off the ship. In anyways, I also found interesting the breakup theory, it's good to finally see a visible break that actually makes sense, Mengot's theory had it's hidden break issue, now I feel this one gets a more accurate view at it.
@@atlanticliners and also, to help with the research, I would recommend taking a look at the sparks leaving off the 2nd funnel as it collapses, it has been reported by a good amount of survivors, most noticeably Jack Thayer. And one more thing, the panic on the ship likely started at 1:32 AM and slowly increased throughout the rest of the sinking (because at that moment people would see the forecastle disappearing in the water and realize the ship was sinking), instead of starting at 2:17 AM like the animation depicts.
I was glued to the whole thing. Even after seeing previous animations, I still can't get used to the sound of distress rockets firing off. Makes me jump every time. Witnessing this whole event with people, sound effects, voice-acting, and gunshots really make this pivotal moment in history come alive. For the first time besides Titanic Animations' real-time sinking videos, this presentation agrees with the first-hand accounts from as far as my own collective knowledge. It's as authentic as it possibly gets, in my opinion. What I didn't expect was the final moments during the break-up and the ship finally disappearing. The last six minutes were nothing short of absolute horror. I didn't fully appreciate how quickly and violently this unfolded until now. The things that were going through me, I wondered if that's how the survivors felt. I didn't have to imagine anymore; it felt as if you were actually there. Knowing this project was under the direction of the co-authors of "On A Sea of Glass," I couldn't help but feel the anticipation of watching this animation with sound included. I give my utmost gratitude and appreciation to those involved with presenting the most authentic depiction of the Titanic tragedy.
Well done, everyone! You have my seal of approval.
Thank you, Lucas. A lot of hard work went into this, but comments like these make it all worthwhile. I have to say that the final video stunned even us -- I actually asked the others at one point, "Guys, what did we make here?" It left me feeling shaky after the first time I watched the sinking, because it was so real to what reportedly occurred that night and the forensic information that the wreck site offers.
Glad I’m not the only one getting jump scares from the rockets firing.
@Jens Nobel Hello, Mr. Nobel, and thank you so much for your kind note. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say we appreciate hearing such thoughtful feedback, and that we are glad you appreciated the work we put into the project.
That's a good catch, by the way! If I recall correctly, when we were doing the animation, we chose not to do a specific pattern to the light flashing, as we had simply run out of time, opting instead just to show the lights blinking in a sort of 'long' 'short' pattern and didn't have time to get more complex than that. I believe that this is on our list of updates for when we revise the animation in the future. However, given the fact that Morse code is becoming something of a 'lost language' let me say that I am heartened to hear that someone who works in the field still knows it and can read it so quickly!
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts and impressions on the animation as a whole. All our best, and take care!
@Jens Nobel I appreciate your description of it being like “the ship is crying out in anger and protesting her untimely death”. Sounds absolutely terrifying
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The sounds of the ship breaking up just before it’s final plunge is exactly how I’ve always imagined it to have sounded like, with the almost primal deafening groaning of steel and muffled explosions and not to mention the terrible screams. I don’t know what would have been worse, clinging on to the stern when it went almost vertical and knowing you’re number is up, or being in a life raft and having to witness that great vessel break apart and hear those screams until they fell silent. It’s the stuff of nightmares and to be perfectly honest I’m absolutely petrified of large ships and deep oceans for some reason. They always seem to me extremely ominous and foreboding, and despite their great size, the ocean is far, far larger and can destroy the greatest of mankind’s creations like child’s play.
Thank you for the compliments regarding the sound, Dany'el. We actually spent quite a bit of time compiling all of the eyewitness accounts regarding sound and putting them into a timeline so that they could be recreated at just the right times. The first time I listened to the completed audio I was shaking afterward. It was exactly what they had described.
@@atlanticliners Mate, it shows how much hard work and diligence you and your team put into making this video.
My great uncle (Marshall Napoleon Hart aka Lee Marshall) died during WWII while captaining a liberty ship (USS WILLIAM.H.WELCH) for the Americans and the story of that has always stoked my interest and my imagination of how absolutely terrifying it would be having a ship break apart like it was a matchstick would fill your last few moments of life with petrifying terror. The sounds have always been a point of fascination as it’s something overlooked but I think it would be absolutely deafening. The sound of the boilers, the screams, the haunting bell sounds, officers giving orders in the clipped and precise way they spoke, the steel groaning and buckling, and water gushing in and breaking glass and knocking over everything in its wake.
You guys really painted such a vivid picture with the sound so thanks so much for your efforts bro.
@@Dan_Ben_Michael We are really glad that it brought the events to life for you. :)
When boarding the Queen Mary in Long Beach I always look at the steel hull and think "How could this POSSIBLY have split in half?"
The sound must've been terrifying .. probably a lot like the twin tower collapse in NYC.
Right on! Welcome, fellow Thalassaphobist.
The cinematography of this video is absolutely incredible. I personally prefer this video than the other real time sinking videos. Great work and thank you for posting!
Thank you, Roman. We appreciate the kind feedback.
I can't imagine how the peoples, kids, babies and pets was going through the tragedy at that night. With not enough lifeboats, everyone is struggle and fight for their life. Oh God, please bless their soul. Rest in peace.😢
The lifeboats were more then required, the Board Of Trade, the normal number of lifeboats is 16 but the RMS Titanic had 20 lifeboats including the 2 cutter boats and 4 collapsible boats.
Only 3 pets are confirmed to have survived. I'll never bring my cat on a boat or a plane.
@@WhiteStarLine647 couldn't have even saved half of the max capacity of the ship with the 24 confirmed life boats onboard. and maritime law changed forever after this to require more life boats. TOO FEW BOATS and human error caused this tragedy and spreading misinformation about a 100 yo Tragedy with a goofy name and picture is incredibly disrespectful.
Wow, the breakup totally caught me off guard. I can now understand why some eye witnesses argued it sank in one peice. I remember reading an article in a Dutch newspaper around 1998 which had a comic like sequence of the sinking depicting certain movements of the ship during sinking which I have not seen in any recreations until this one.
I agree. In some angles, it actually does look like it's sinking in one piece. Especially from far away. Basically if you were very close, especially facing the boat deck, it would be very obvious that it broke in half. But if you were much further away and potentially even looking at the back of the ship, it would look more like it sank intact, maybe just losing some parts of it here and there.
the sound of her breaking up gives me goose bumps, Very well done.
What is more horrific is,
All that ocean water flooding the ship,
How heavy did the bow section get that it literally pulled the stern out of the lethal water into the air,
and the pressure of that broke the ship into 2.
Water, if it's in the ocean, can be a scary thing.
@@danieldoo1821
Water is nOne too friendly on the Great Lakes, too.
I watched your prior video when it came out. But this newer one left me speechless. It's very moving. Especially the sound and having actors voice the parts that you've added. I've never seen anything like this. You're recreating what happened to people so others can understand what they went through in real time-idk how to explain it-told you I lacked words!
Right in the opening of this video I want to congratulate the team behind its creation. I have been fascinated by the RMS Titanic disaster as far back as I can remember, and the creators managed to provide the viewer with a perspective of the impressive size of the ship right from the early frames. No other animation or SFX representation of the ship that I have seen shows the scale of this vessel like this video. Seriously impressive! This is also the first representation I recll ever seeing in which the speed in which Titanic's deadly injury was identified. Every report or account I have ever read suggested it took much longer for SSmith and his crew to identify that she was mortally wounded. Not an extreme length of time, mind you, but longer than is shown here.
Thank you for your kind feedback!
Thank you!
Amazing animation thank you, also just wanted to point out in the voice over of captain smith where he orders Murdoch to close the watertight doors and Boxhall to inspect the bow for any damage, in his interview in 1962 Boxhall stated that Smith did not ask him to inspect the ship, he did it almost immediately after the ship hit the iceberg of his own accord and then reported back to the captain. Other than that this has got to be the most accurate I’ve seen and so very detailed. Thanks again for uploading :)
To me it seems that Boxhall was very busy during the whole sinking. First he inspected and checked the Mail Room, later he was engaged with computing the position of the ship for the distress calls, getting and firing the distress rockets, trying to contact the ghost ship by morse lights, then commanding lifeboat no 2 and entering the Carpathia as the first lifeboat, reporting to Captain Rostron. I wished that Captain Smith would have been so engaged rather than paralized.
OMG! This was incredibly done. I watched it all the way through and the timing is just... wow. You actually get a sense of what the people were going through right from the beginning. It gave me goosebumps. I felt like I was there. My heart broke as I watched the water rushing in. Thank you for posting this. You guys did an awesome job!
😢😢😢😢
I think your version of the break-up is by far the most accurate as this is in fact how most survivors actually said it happened. The fact that she broke twice not once . Very nice animation !
The sound effects and vouces are very haunting. I started watching this unexpectedly, late the other night, and I couldnt stop. An amazing and fitting piece of work that sat with me for a while afterwards. RIP to all those that lost their lives that night.
2:40:20 this is what im most fascinated about, the power on titanic, you got a emergency generater kicking in and keeping SOME lights just burning for a lil while, WHILE THE SHIP IS IN HALF 😯
Makes you wonder, how long did those lights stay on after the ship went down.
@@DutchDukeMan very true, eerie to think people could have been deep inside the ship still able to see when the ship was fully submerged, before you know, the imploding
@@DutchDukeMan The emergency lights were not on for very long, I have read somewhere that survivors have reported the emergency lights going out just before the ship went under completely. It wouldn't have taken the water very long to reach that backup generator.
At first when I've seen animations of the lights staying on, I always thought that was just a glitch or an editing mistake but apparently some lights really did stay on. Didn't think that was possible once the ship broke apart. I'm sure it was only for a few seconds though.
@@reminiscer15 Some survivors have claimed that the emergency lights stayed on until the stern almost went under fully.
Titanic sank in the exact same way that I study for my exams. Basically no action in the beginning, then cramming it all in the last few moments before its due
i mean...

This animation is phenomenal. I am absolutely awestruck at this, the sounds, the lighting, everything about this is perfect! Incredible
I have a feeling your going to put this sinking in your titanic sinking theory animation series
@@IsaacNg28 it's possible, but unlikely
Thank you.
Yes, this animation is highly accurate and phenomenal,
but,..it depicts a true event, a real life tragedy,
I admit the way it is made is awesome, but what it portrays, it's utter nightmare.
RIP all those who died in the worst maritime disaster for a passenger liner..
I See you everywhere!!
That last song the band played… it fits perfectly for some reason like they are singing the ship to sleep as she’s slowly drowning.
This was simultaneously the most relaxing and excruciatingly stressful thing I’ve ever watched. Thanks.
2:40:30 -- The Titanic seen from several hundred yards away: although the people in the boats would have _seen_ nothing much more than a silhouette, they would have _heard_ the splitting steel, the churning water, and the screams of the hundreds still on board the ship or in the water perfectly well: water is an incredible carrier of sound.
Water doesn't just cause sound carrying effects, it also act as a powerful echo generator, making the noise even more ominous than it would naturally be
If you've read what the survivors said, they could see plenty. No one said "It was so dark I didn't see when the ship sank" It may have been dark, but it was;t pitch black, like many commenters seem to think.
@@killdano stars are not a light source. Also there was no moon. So how could they see after the lights went out
Their eyes would have been slowly adjusting as the power faded to an orange color. The 1997 movie shows super bright lights that suddenly snap out, but it was really a more gradual process.
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 "stars are not a light source"
someone didn't tell this guy what a star or the sun is
I didn't notice until today that you've animated the starboard shell plating being separated from the stern after the break up. Nice touch guys.
This is the best rendition yet. I particularly liked the first-person deck views which really helped bring it to life. Great job, ser!
Yes plus they show the great liner splitting into 3 and not 2 which we've actually known for a long time but other animations don't show,in fact the middle section separated into 3 on falling to the Ocean floor so two obviously big sections then the big pile and another two I think..
This was honestly amazing. In my opinion the best real time animation so far. You and the authors of On a Sea of Glass did perfectly in researching and making this.
Thank you! This is so much better than the THG Titanic: Final Plunge video that depicts Boat B landing on the Boat Deck sideways, the stern at a very shallow angle when the 2nd funnel falls, and the Stern going down sideways.
This is now my go-to Titanic real-time sinking video.
It seems ever since the Titanic: Honor and Glory RUclips channel uploaded their Real Time Sinking video, more and more of such videos have been popping up on here. I’m sure Vintage Digital Revival would love to recruit those folks so they could contribute their talents to the Titanic: Honor and Glory game that VDR is making.
@@michaelmurray11189 Um, sure. I guess.
@@michaelmurray11189 Agreed. Maybe it would put an end to my confusion. I'm following THG and Titanic Animation, now we have this one (which is THG but somewhat looking different). I like the idea of a low-angle break, but I also like the stern having the port list increased during the sinking, sideways as Joshua put it, then vertical, then disappearing. I think this detail is based on Joughin's testimony. Many dismiss it because of alcohol, while on the same accept other parts of his testimony (as it seems to me). As a creator (team) of these animations, you have to make decisions that do not please everybody.
What I would like to see is, how the sinking angles changed from the collision leading up to the final plunge. I like the cameras going back and forth, no doubt, but I would like to see a timelaps side-elevation, which could show e.g. first propellor blade surfacing (counting in a list), and at the same time the water level at the bow, etc., or the ther way round, when the water reaches the side bow anchors, what was the sight at the stern?
@@TCR_710-Cap there was testimony where someone was able to walk on the side of the ship after it broke in two.
@@harvestercommander3250 Yes, and I believe that was Joughin, and some seem to not believe it since he consumed alcohol, but on the same side believing him that he heard the ship buckling (first signs of the break-up) as he was in the galley (?) getting himself some water (!). Sounds to me like cherry-picking.
After having been interested in the Titanic story since I was a kid, I'm 68, I was really excited when the Cameron film came out. But about the only think that I was really unsatisfied with was the last few moment of the sinking. The extent of the stern sticking up in the air was not really believable. I think your version is much more accurate. I also think your view of the breakup is better.
Thank you for the kind feedback, sir. We worked very hard to try to get this accurate.
Ditto. I'm 63. I used to peruse over NYT articles on microfiche about the sinking and events afterwards in high school. I also couldn't wait for the Cameron movie - I also saw the other 2 major Titanc movies (A Night to Remember was also excellent - no doubt Cameron copied from it). The Cameron movie got a lot of things wrong (a lot of things correct, also). As far as the last moments are concerned, the Cameron movie used the best info at the time in 1996-ish. Subsequent technology and research results in the predictions/animations we have now.
Cameron said that after the movie was made, the discovery of the degree of the Titanics final sinking was more like what was depicted here but....he wasn't going to remake it. (Me personally...that would drive me nuts that I'd want to remake or fix it somehow but I'm not a millionaire yet...) The other small movie part that bugs me is that Cameron did not depict Molly Browns role accurately. That is (to me) a very important fact so why he skipped over that is odd but...I don't make movies so I'm not sure how much extra it would cost to film an extra 5 min.
Actually, it was Officer Lightoller who said the ship stood up "absolutely perpendicular" (as we saw in the Cameron film). Eva Hart claimed to have also seen it in the position and said that it stayed there for "quite a long time, or what seemed like a long time" as seen in the film. I think people often forget that Cameron's film is based on a combination of survivor accounts because his character, Rose, is supposed to be a survivor as well. The film serves as her memory, not a documentary. When people attack the film they often don't realize they're attacking the claims of an actual survivor who was there that the scene is based off of.
This is probably one of my favorite depictions of the sinking. It just feels correct. Especially the breakup and final plunge.
Blown away by how amazing this animation is and how much work went into its making. Absolutely heartbreaking and terrifying 😢 I cannot even begin to imagine the fear of everyone that night. May they all rest in peace.
The animation looks so much better now, with sound fx and the band playing its quite chilling to watch. Thank you for this Levi, Tom, J.Kent Layton and the other authors and historians involved! Also as the description says this video is best watched in 4K if you'r internet can stream it.
'2:20AM - Titanic is gone.'
Still the most haunting moment is the last - perhaps the only moment unchanged from the original sinking animation/video, but still, by a country mile, the most poignant, and the most haunting.

2:42:19 That guy yelling while steam yeets him away. Found it funny to even add that to this animation. Personally sinking ship accidents are one of my personal biggest fears, there is no quick death and there is no promise of surviving even if you fight to the death to survive, just pure luck that you need and grit to fight tooth and nail to live.
As I said, the video is a masterpiece, congratulations again to the whole team. But all the people who comment, deserve a round of applause too. The comments are full of respect, experiences and very interesting stories. They are an inexhaustible source of information. You are incredible!!
Wow... I am speechless... this animation is far more better than the old Realtime Sinking THG. (Better say 'a better update').
I did not know the Titanic first listed starboard, and than list to port as we know, and at the end, the list eased on the boat deck. Not to mention the "big piece" broken at the end.
I thought it was all the time list to port though!
Stunning. No big-screen musical score, no stern crashing back overdramatically, Best of all, no Jack and Rose. This should be the go-to video when looking for a TITANIC sinking video.

This was so sad to watch. One can only imagine the chaos, confusion & agony those people suffered. Even the survivors had to suffer PTSD afterward. Most of the women & children lost the man of the family. This video aptly depicts the real life struggles in this tragedy.
2:39:46 it must have been terrifying for those passengers having not only the funnel coming down but also having the floor dropping out from below
Indeed. This depiction is actually based on eyewitness evidence, which only makes it that much more tragic.

@Jolly Jumper I 100% agree. It’s the metal groaning that really gets me. Especially at 2:38:45 - 2:39:04. It’s like the ship is fighting: trying as hard as she can to stay afloat, and screaming in anguish in the process. Just horrifying.
Titanic isn't seen again until Sunday, September 1, 1985. Seventy-three years after its sinking.
Small correction :
It wasn't publicly seen until September 1, 1985
It's possible it was found earlier, but never publically disclosed due to the ongoing cold war
@@dan_38 Agree.
@Dorian Hernandez Apparently we'll find out if this is true when the information is disclosed in 2033.
Incidentally, the discovery occurred shortly before 2 AM, so naturally, the crew of the _Knorr_ had a short moment of silence.
This was beautifully done! Hearing “Nearer my God to thee” is especially heartbreaking, knowing what was next to come. 😰
This gets more incredible every year (albeit this time on a different channel). Thank you to Tom and the team!
This is absolutely awesome. Thank you for giving us such a realistic look to this scene!
I can't imagine the horrific situation on board. The screams from from the poor people inside or on top of the Titanic and then suddenly... deadly silence when everything was gone. R.I.P. all of them. 🕊️
Oh my god I've been working on a video about First Officer Murdoch and I've read the book obsessively. This literally couldn't have been better timed. Amazing work!
What can I say? You guys have created a definitive work here. A leap in quality compared to what came before matched only by that original pioneering video made five years ago.

There's at least 1 huge error, saying the last message was sent from Titanic at 2:07 AM. That's factually incorrect. The last signal sent from Titanic was around 2:17 AM. That's a pretty big mistake.

Ive been waiting for this since the anniversary stream. Great job to all on board the project!
The time always being in the top left is a nice touch
That was a terrific idea that Tom had; we liked it very much when he asked us about it.
This was of the most fascinating things I have ever viewed. The graphics were so well done I continually found myself almost lost within the experience myself. An entirely engrossing film. If I could add one bit of hopefully constructive criticism, asking you to receive it only I that intended manner, it would be this - if you ever adapt of change this in the future, I’d ask that perhaps you adding a little chime, or something, whenever graphic text appears. The experience is amazingly transfixing. As a result, I often found myself wrapped up in the excellent visual detail that I missed (or nearly missed) the text. Several times I had to back up in order to not miss something. That’s all I would ask.
Anyone interested in the sinking of the HMS Titanic would very much enjoy this. I’ve already told about a dozen friends and family know about this… two of which are watching it right now, and are immersed.
Again, you did one incredible job keeping this story alive. Very very well done. 👏🏼
I should note that the _Titanic’s_ prefix was RMS, which stood for “Royal Mail Ship/Steamer.” HMS was used only by ships of the Royal Navy; at the time, it stood for “His Majesty’s Ship.”

My father in law was a fisherman and I used to go out on the boat with him, my husband was his deckhand. At night, if it was really calm the water looked like glass. The stars seem to never end, and you had remind yourself that its a mirrored reflection. smh There is NO light. Your eyes have to adjust to the darkness but on a calm night like that you still can't see anything but the stars. Its so sad and it's always gonna be.
It's scary how fast the final plunge is, as soon as the water overflow onto the bridge area/A deck, it only took about 10 minutes for it all to be gone.
Very fast, yes. About five minutes from the 'slight but definite plunge' where Titanic came back up on an even keel and Collapsible A was swamped (at 2:15) to the final disappearance of the fantail (at 2:20).
@@atlanticliners it’s utterly horrifying. I really do appreciate the work you and all the others have done. I have a question for you though, and I’m not sure if you’ll be able to answer it.

This and Historic Travels made me get the book On A Sea Of Glass, a lot material that every Titanic nut will climb in and never get out. Notice in the sinking diagram with the break up the rear of the bow rose up ever so slightly due to the bending of the keel shoving the decks upwards.
Wow, this is stunning, and very frightening. I've seen a lot of simulations of this incredible voyage, but this one really scared me. Great job of capturing many different angles and some shots that put the audience on the deck, very effective.
Yes everyone was 💤 😴 asleep never thought it would sink.
What is amazing about this animation is that not only does it show the latest theory of titanic’s breakup, it also shows the danger of a cold front mirage. Mirage usually happens in desert where rising hot air distorts vision on the horizon, however a cold front mirage can happen in the North Atlantic and distort an image. Titanic’s lookouts could have spotted the iceberg with a naked eye, which was why it baffled historians until one realized the iceberg was hidden by a cold front mirage until it was too late.
This has made me reflect on how damn satisfying I find the sound of the engines and how shocking it is and must have been to have them stop and, after a brief return to activity, stay stopped. If that was me, that would have been enough for concern.

Thank you for this! Kind of put things in to perspective. As a native Haligonian I've been to the museum several times as I am fascinated by this and a lot of your Mariner content so great job!!
Also there is a graveyard in Haliax with many of the lost passengers and there is one stone in particular that says either J. Dawson or Jack D. (Can't remember which) but people leave things like old keys, coats, flowers etc. It's pretty cool!
I've just come here from Mike's "Ocean Liner Designs" He praised this recreation, particularly your depiction of the break up as far more low key than Cameron's highly dramatic depiction. It has always seemed strange, watching that, with the stern plunging back down in a huge and very visible tidal wave, as to how few eyewitness realised that the ship's back had indeed broken, so this seems a far more understandable depiction, given the outcomes of the public inquiries. One thing he did flag up were the light levels. On clear, moonless night like this, apart from the stars against a pitch black sky, there would have been no background glow, nor any illumination whatsoever, once Titanic's lights had failed. So the break up would very probably have appeared as no more than a confusing silouhette, black against the sea of glass, and reflected stars, although of course as a cinematic depiction, this would not have much appeal! So I really applaud your meticulous recreation, taking visibility as far back as possible, without making the results unwatchable.
Seriously fine efforts.
I, don't the 🌎 earth Moon and Sun ever aligned like that again will research more.
I frankly always assumed the scene of a woman slipping and dangling off the side of the ship in the Cameron film was just for dramatic purposes, but I guess I was wrong, as I also remembered it was featured in A Night To Remember
The woman dangling off the ship happened as she tried to get into lifeboat 10. She was pulled into A Deck, and it is thought she came back up onto the Boat Deck and got into the lifeboat after all.
@@billwormstedt9494 Surprised they didn't just lower the boat to A deck and let her get on from there rather than waiting for her to walk back up to get on again. Would have saved some time too, every second counts.

WOW 😳 ! Love! Went back and watch the one from last year to compare! Y'all have come a long way on the breakup! Instead of TITANIC just holding on for a couple of minutes, it just - "Foom!" - in half, and kinda went "James Cameron" style, (instead of sinking sideways)!
Totally different and totally Love it!
Thank you!
There should be Academy Awards for RUclipss. This is stunning, just outstanding work you’ve created.
Your whole channel is superb, simply the best. Thank you so much for the consistently excellent presentations and your depth of knowledge.
Thank you for toppling the forward funnel to starboard. It botheted me for years seeing Cameron showing it in the opposite direction.
Not just Cameron, almost all Titanic media show it falling to port. I don't know why it was portrayed like that for so long since the accounts and evidence clearly show the funnel felt to starboard. Although the same could be said about Titanic breaking aft of the third funnel or not having a port list while sinking. Stuff that took them years to finally portray correctly (the break up foward of the third funnel and Titanic a 9-10 degrees port list during the sinking).
Awesome vid !
Definitely love the way the break up was done .
I’m glad you showcased the other portion of the stern collapsing after its separation from the bow. Other animations just show it break apart and either the stern sinks capsized or it goes almost vertical and sinks. Eye witness saw the stern go up almost vertical and right before she plunged she stood up some time then rotated as she was goin down . I loved that part.
Definitely loved the details of the ship up close and far and the noises the vessel made. But the break up part is by far the best
Thank you for the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much.
“In an hour..or two…all this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic” One of my favorite lines from the movie
I’m pretty sure he said an hour or so. I rewatched it and I think he said that.

A small quibble: Lowe mentioned in testimony that he had a Browning, rather than a revolver. That suggests an FN 1900 or, less likely, a commercial FN 1903.
Excellent animation gentlemen! I'm currently reading "On a Sea of Glass" during down time at work. The book and animation complement each other quite well.
My only gripe I have is the sound of the ocean. It makes me think of a river bank which for myself gets annoying by the end...but that's just me. However, I do understand the need for some background noise so everything isn't just silent.

2:42:19 that is so scary just being ejected like a cannon straight into the sea. that is scary.
Still amazing, frightening, sad, thrilling. Heroes and cowards, musicians playing at their best. Impressive detail. Thanks!!
This is amazing! It does an amazing job of creating a very eerie environment and the visuals are incredible!

Congratulations, magnificent work. As someone already commented, beautiful and terrifying.
Love this video and the sounds! Can't imagine how long this must have taken lol.
the sound design is indeed impeccable.
This is really well done 👏 And each time I watch a real time sinking video, my heart wants a happy ending for Titanic. 🙁
i absolutely love this, Tom! :)
It’s so nice to have an accurate real-time sinking animation that i can actually agree with.
*(also, those exterior shots of the ship at night are giving me T:AOOT vibes)*
We worked very hard to get this right. We have some refinements to make, but this is the most accurate blend of eyewitness accounts and forensic data that is available, and what you see is the result of decades of research on the subject.
@@atlanticliners thx! sounds awesome
@@DerpyPossum You're very welcome!
@@OceanlinerDesigns Me too!
Time for dinner tonight
This is great thank you for making it, watching it with my 10 year old cousin who is interested in the Titanic. Only thing is we are having a problem with the captions not being on long enough for us to read out loud so we are missing some information, we don't want to pause and unpause because it slightly takes away from the real time aspect. This is otherwise a cool learning tool for her to get a sense of titanics final hours
The most realistic Version of the Breakup i have seen yet, your Video is getting it right where other videos fail and are just unrealistic. You show the breakup as a slow Process of Death and this is what happend back then according to the Documentation Titanic Answers from Abyss from 1999. This video is perfect sir, great work.
This animation is breathtaking and terrifying at the end. Great job. Can't wait for more. Btw there was a familiar sound from Britannic: PotM just before the break up. It sounded as if the keel had suddenly bent upwards followed by the break up. It was amazing! And it gave me a terrifying feeling.
Good job recognizing it! I also did the sounds on Britannic POTM, and it's the same sound I used for when the ship hit the bottom.
How come you use that sound and not THG break up because I like that one
@@Freakingfantasticfilms If I were to guess, it was to differentiate this sinking animation from the THG one. I've seen many fan-made animations based on this, the TA sinking, and the original THG sinking, and most of them take the sounds from the THG video directly. If this animation used the exact same sounds as the THG version, people unfamiliar with the two separate projects might get them confused or think they're related in some way.
I really like the old sound effect county Thg

Now this is the best full time sinking of the Titanic!
Very well done! Every sinking animation has a different break-up and final plunge I noticed.
That is very true, excellent observation. However to create this particular depiction, we took decades of experience researching the disaster (and in particular, years of work on the breakup of the ship) -- comparing eyewitness evidence and forensic data available on the wreck -- and came up with something that more accurately depicts the ship's final few minutes than has ever been made available before. It is not perfect, and we have some refinements in mind for the future, but this is as close as we could get for this year. We truly hope that you enjoy the video.
@@atlanticliners Thank you for your answer! I think the difference often lies in the angle, how high the bow raised before splitting, and whether the split occured in plain sight or below the waterline (explaining why so many eyeswitnesses were contradictory and said it sank intact). The 1997 film for instance made the angle very sharp and a clean break which couldn't have been missed by eyewitnesses (it made it more dramatic and visual for cinematic purposes I suppose).
One thing that always confused me was the following, the baker who was later rescued, who was on the bow during the sinking, and said he barely got his hair wet when the bow finally went under, would have provided a perfect account of the break up and final plunge.
One more analysis was made recently presenting a version of the break up that is very different to any other theory established up until now. I wonder what James Cameron would this of this one haha. What do you think of this new break up theory?

@@atlanticliners I have a "question".
Will There sometimes Be The 1997 theory sinking on this animation? To me it looks The most accurate.
@@Nurembergwarcriminal It isn't the most accurate. There is no reason to get back to outdated stuff.
@@Nurembergwarcriminal Hello. No, the breakup shown in the 1997 James Cameron film was not accurate in many ways; even James Cameron has made public statements on the matter in the years since. Quite simply, much has been learned about the way the ship came apart since 1997, and we also have greatly furthered our understanding of what eyewitnesses reported.
The depiction you see in this film is the most accurate amalgamation of our up-to-date understanding of each of those two points (wreck forensics and eyewitness statements). We do have refinements in mind, but at this point, this is as good as it gets. Thank you for your question!
This is probably the most realistic interpretation of the sinking we will ever get
2:41:40 Imagine being in one of the lifeboat and looking back to see that, really scary.
The old lady Rose in "Titanic" was accurate when she commented about the forensic video recreation "The experience of it was some what different". I worked in NYC on Sept 11, stood one block away and witnessed the WTC south tower come down. All I could think was this has to be like sitting in a lifeboat watching Titanic. Like Rose, for me the sight and loud sound of the tower coming down, seeing jumpers, the dust cloud, can't be appreciated from a video, the experience of it was definitely something others will never know.
@@captnemo8069 wow you saw it fall. Just knowing thousands of innocent people died during that is insane to me. Could you imagine. I remember listening to 911 calls of people stuck on the top floors them saying they can feel the buildings swaying and then they fall.
The people having to choose to burn or jump. Horrible, tragic day that certainly was. It’s unfortunate we experience these tragedies as often as we do.
you couldn't it was too dark
sorry, i just had to do it
@@munastronaut8147 Im sure you could somewhat make out the ship in the dark, you could certainly hear it...
@@calebmcfarland8407 no it was pitch dark, there was no moon
