- Charles Lightoller was a man with nine lives. He somehow survived the sinking of the titanic, only to be roped into duty in World War I, and then brought back into military service again in WWII. How this man managed to survive some of the most dangerous moments in history is truly amazing and today we're going to share his incredible life story with you!

As far as I know, Lighttoler was strictest officer in the Titanic disaster, so much so that it can be said that the reason why most of the lifeboats were not at full capacity or anywhere near it was because of his actions. Turning the women and children first policy into women and children only on his side of the ship, compared to Murdoch who tried his best to fill the boats and allowed a handful of men to board them.
Murdoch filled 10 lifeboat with full compartment and he took his life by suicide
@Phantom It's unknown exactly how Murdoch died on the Titanic. So suicide isn't out of the realm of possibilities.
@@UNIQUEwastaken wrong. None of the lifeboats were filled to full capacity. One of the life boats that murdoch filled only had 12 people. One of the main reasons for this was because in the beginning it was hard to get people on the boats, noone wanted to go cause noone thought it was going to sink at first.
@@Benji-jj2bg I learned more in the next 1 year so I can confirm it is wrong, but the boat filled with 12 people was not because he had hard time trying to get people inside the boat, its because the boat was lifeboat number 1, and as u know lifeboat 1 shared the same davits as collapsible c. So murdoch just filled lifeboat 1 with any people close by and quickly lowered away because he wanted to prepare collapsible c as fast as possible
It's obvious to me that all these comments are coming from people who only watched the 1997 movie "Titanic," and believe they were watching the actual event themselves. Ignorant.
He lived and survived a tragedy, only to become an action movie star twice.
Life is still full of surprises.
Lightoller was a war criminal.
0:30 "But his heart would go on" c'mon that has to be a "pun intended"!
DUH
0:06 Actually the beginning stages of the sinking occurred at 11:40pm on the 14th of April, and lasted til 2:20am the following morning
Scattered Collector THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
pheonox14 you’re very welcome
So they couldn’t get people in life boats even when they had almost 4 hours?...
Yeah, small error, but still great vid
@@MinskyDoxsky Passengers didn't want to leave the ship due to not believing there to be any real emergency. It wasn't until 40 minutes later that the officers were mustering them into lifeboasts and still they didnt want to leave. Evidence is that over 1000 passengers were still on board, clinging to the stern as it sank down at 2.20AM. Also, the crew were not notified until 40 minutes to an hour after the striking of the iceberg. Keep in mind, unlike today, the passengers were all asleep and in bed by 10/11 at night. So to try and wake them and get them onto a freezing cold boat deck was no easy task.
Heh it didn’t even occur to me that that old guy driving the rescue boat in Dunkirk was a real historical figure lol
baronvg lol ya I thought they were just randoms lol
Thats awesome
baronvg it’s only loosely based on him
Yeah. I just finished watching it
I got to hear Charles Lightoller speak about Dunkirk, it was on a radio program, I think, it was from 1950's. Lightoller was the 2nd officer on Titanic but he was a captain in his own right.
Laura Kuhn that interview was in 1933
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 that could not be 1933 because Lightoller was talking about "doing his bit" during the Dunkirk Evacuation. The Dunkirk Evacuation was in 1940.
Laura Kuhn my bad, sorry
@@laurakuhn8743 his interview about the titanic was recorded in 1936
Charles: My heart will go on and oonnnnnn...
stop please
And it did.
Hahahaha 🤣
To me Charles lightoller is and always will be a hero
He murdered POWs.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kw well nobody’s perfect
0:20 🤣🤣😂 I love his cartoon character's screaming
Wow he lived an adventurous yet traumatic life.
Titanic: I’m the most unsinkable ship in the world
Ice burg: Hold my beer
He became part of history for 2 reasons, and is featured in 2 history movies(one of them being the best movie all time for a while). He is referred to in titanic(officer lightholler) and Dunkirk(mr Dawson)
Dude it hit the ice berg at 11:40 April 14, 1912 and had its final plunge early hours of April 15th
in the beginning, it said "on April 12th, 1912" it was sinking on the 14th and 15th, not the 12th. anybody else bothered by this little mistake, or is it just me?
I watched as far as the hideous pronunciation of "Lightoller" and could not go any further.
its incredible ow the infographics find soo many info about these individuals . . . Hats off to the staff .
love from MAURITIUS
He was so cool! May god have him and his son in his Kingdom.
?
@King Royal what makes you say that?
@King Royal well I mean no one’s perfect
He murdered POWs.
@@MarkHarrison733 They weren't POWs. They were the enemy. It was war.
This is the creepiest thing. I was just looking at videos of this topic (About lightoller) and suddenly i get the notification of this video.
The Titanic sank on the 15th of April, 1912.
Ahhh, i thought it was 1920
Idiot it sank starting at 11:40 pm April 14th 1912 and sunk completely at 2:20 am April 15th 1912. Get your facts right, please.
@@scaratarthemsmsitarbug8304 My facts are right.
I no right
@@scaratarthemsmsitarbug8304 I can't tell whether you're actually being sarcastic
“In the early morning of April 12th 1912”
Oopsie daisy
Somebody should turn that mans live into a movie
Dave Anderson I mean Dunkirk was pretty much about him..
Much respect for this dude
FUN FACT:
Out of the nearly 350 people lightoller allowed into the boats only a single one was a man, his name was Arthur peuchens
He was only allowed in because he had sea experience and was able to command the boat
@@paulwilkinson4073 and was also on the lifeboat 6( the one with molly brown) I’m pretty sure there was also a stowaway on the boat too
If Wim Hof was in that water, he would be completely fine lol
Lighttoller didn't let a single man on the boat. Even when one had 32 people on it. Dude condemned hundreds of men to death
No, his plan was for more women and children to board the under-capacity boats at the lower levels, but the men he sent below to load them got stopped by the water. Anyway, he made a mistake but there were no ill intentions, he was trying to get all the women and children off
He let Arthur Peuchen onboard lifeboat 6
**Hits Iceberg**
Titanic: Why do I hear boss music?
Captain: Uhhh that's not boss music...
Titanic: Then what is it?
Captain: It's the water flowing inside you
Titanic: *Sinks* (Just like this comment)
Just Some Guy without a Mustache did you change your profile pic?
Why are you EVERYWHERE!? XD
Funny he he
- No icebergs were hurt during that trial
- The Infographics show 2020
Who else got the "satanic mills" reference at 1:24
Hole-e molee me
You did not say, “His heart when on.” 😂
Hey it fits lol 😂
"but his heart would go on" this was illegal
Charles lightoller was a hero I honor him
Yes but he couldve fit so many more people
When the titanic hit that iceberg it released the coronavirus
Roadhouse
Haha bro you got the whole squad laughing
G R H bro that was mad funny
Titanic movie is one we all know the end of. This hero need a state to commorate his compassion for others.
@FatalPies yes, he was a hero. You wanna talk about war criminal? The U boats were ordered to hunt down all civilian vessels and hurt englands supply line. Those U boats were specfically killing as many civilians as they could. He stated his reason for what he did and I dont shame him for it.
The 1st Officer also did as good of a job on the Titanic as Lightoller (as did one of the radio guys), but did not survive the sinking.
The first officer is the one who hit the iceberg in the first place. And the radio guy didn't deliver all the iceberg warnings to the bridge.
@@mr.balloffur I think you are confusing the radio guys with the two lookouts.
The radio guy's job was mostly to send and receive 'wires.' They didn't even know about the Iceberg until the Captain told them. The main radio operator stayed in the radio room trying to send SOS signals until the water in the room was almost waist deep.
@@tektrades7539 YOU are confused. Phillips and Bride received numerous iceberg warnings all day Sunday that never got delivered to the bridge, it has nothing to do with the lookouts.
It’s like he lived the plot of Forrest Gump but in the early 1900s
One of my grandfathers was an army reservist trapped at Dunkirk. My wife was a child in North London, during the time of the London Smogs. Fifties London was powered by huge quantities of highly polluting coal.
They didn’t even have binoculars
I got a 'Come From Away' ad in the middle of this. Finally the algorithm works, lol.
This man surely had an adventurous life.
who else was humming my heart will go on while watching
... just me?
“No icebergs were hurt during those trials”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Since Captain Smith cancelled the lifeboat drill that was scheduled for Sunday morning, it was pure chaos that night
0:31 somebody did something cheeky
Favorite RUclips channel
His "Heart Will Go On"?! 😂😂😂😂 Seems fitting for a man like Lightoller!
Someone should a make a movie about him tbh.
doctor: “you have 10 minutes and 5 seconds left to live”
me:
Your first
The Titanic MEC,s me crazy😢😢
RIP Lightor and all other people that died in the Titanic
That sinking feeling...
Something to note, Lightoller was not the only British naval officer with a take no prisoners policy when dealing with U-boats. Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson saw the U-Boat as ungentlemanly weapon, saying "All submariners in war should be hanged as pirates."
How do you post 2 - 3 times a day your channel is amazing
He was like a Timex. Took a lickin' and kept on tickin'.
Great video thank you!!!
Someone quick get in touch with Netflix or Hulu or whoever to make a series about this man life.
2:37 he's not Dead
His watch is not ended
4:25
Men: **Start fighting for a boat**
Lightoller: **Whips out a P-08 “Luger” and shoots**
*SCRATCH THAT*
The Titanic Crew had revolvers, not a WWII era pistol.
it's a cartoon buddy
They started to manufacture Luger P08 already in 1900, so in theory he could have had one in Titanic. More likely a Webley revolver though.
Jake Kilka it says p 08 so wasnt it in 1908
@@ovizcarra8667 That's when the German adopted it, the pistol has existed since 1900. And if it was from 1908 only, he still could have had one in Titanic, which sunk 1912.
He gose on Hood
Hood: IMA bout to commit blow up.
I thought it was a different guy.
Lightholler was my favorite officer on titanic!
Cool! Mine is Murdoch
Mine is lightholler and harold lowe
Mine is Lowe
Titanic hits iceberg and sinks
Britanic hits mine and sink
Titanic and britanic called unsinkable
Olympic: hits a sunken wreck,breaks a propeller,survives bieng torpedoed,survived hittting a mine,survived a crash with the hms hawke,survived crashing into a submarine and sunk the submarine,crashed into the Nantucket and sunk it,and survived an entire war,and an explosion and fire,and still survived for 35 years
Now that’s unsinkable
Hey said "April 12 1912"in the intro lol
Listening to you is just awesome
*Titanic sunk on April 12*
Me: No it sunk on April 14th and the early hours of April 15th
PhantomFoxy -Roblox and stuff, That very true I wrote a comment on that
Joseph RUclips King yes until I’ve. Seen you and he’s comment I just....
DELETED ITA
That triggers me alot
April 12th 1912 he said it sank
Me:it's April 15th 1912

Me: hmm wonder witch two world wars
His life after life and his brave
2:30 good one my dude lol
The thumbnail shows Olympic. It shows 2 promenades. Titanic had 1.
I was Like BOW CHIK- A WOW WOW BOW BOW CHIK-A WOW WOW WOW
You made a mistake. The date was April 14th 1912 not April 12th 1912.
imagine if a German first class male immigrant was on the titanic and lived. he'd be harassed for living and then harassed for being German a few years later (yes, we tortured German Americans to test their US loyalty). He and Lightoller would be arch enemies. lol.
Hello Infographics, How are you today?
What a man🇬🇧
April 14th starting sinking, and April 15th sank.
This is awesome guys!
Charles: I AM LUCKY!!!!
Damn I am early also great video
You often wonder is someone like this lucky or unlucky
He's the one who tried to drown rose then got punched by jack.
I thought that was Cal....
No no don't say that very disrespectful don't compare fiction with reality that is wrong on so many levels
Hes the one who shot himself...
Who tried to drown Rose was just some random dude. Lightoller was clinging on the overturned lifeboat while William Murdoch was the one who killed himself in the movie.
@@jessperry386 no in the romantic film that is for shame it was Murton who shot himself but in reality no one was shot on Titanic and there was no Jack and Rose.
And he survived three things a Titanic crash, Zeppelin bombing and a Dunkirk stuka bomb or BF 109 E shoot
Also saved many lifes
LightHoller is a last name of brightness.
I love this channel, it is so interesting
4:21 - 5:00 why not 'men and children first'? How can it be possible that men be treated like death objects in a "male dominated society" with male privilege"?
R.I.P. To these oppressed men :'(
I love the Titanic its my favorite movie!
What one 1958 or 1997 mines 1958
@@jaykilkenny4409 too confusing
Violent Saber Swings.
What a life, a real furest gump :o imagine surviving all 3 tragedies.
cool the first start of the video was some titanic officer looking like this: :O
Corporate needs you to find the difference between German U-boats and Plastic.
Charles Lightoller: They’re the same picture.
Hey infographics please do a story on Ben L. Salomon
A life for a life a soul for a soul
Lightoller was the same age as John Harper, who was also on the Titanic.
The infografs show:the titanic sank april 12 1912 in the morning me:april 14 to 15 1912
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
I think you got the date wrong, it was not April 12, but April 14 and 15.
Hit the iceberg on the 14th and sank on the 15th
This is a great video
