@Historyx links don't work in shorts anymore. You can place a link in the video
Worst yet, the link isn't even good. I did a screencap and then copied the text. And when I tried to open the video, it says video unavailable. Wtf?🙈
@@HighPower762his email address is in the description of his channel, in case he doesn't read comments. Really interesting and sobering about the shoes!
LOSE YOUR SUBS DUDE!! Spoils it for the non hard of hearing.
@@nuntana2that's the point, they're not there for you!
I love when people don’t sugar coat historical events. I’d rather they were transparent about history.
Unfortunately, society has become so soft that words literally get their panties all in a bunch so they cry cry cry until they get attention exactly like kids throwing temper tantrums when they don't get their way.
😂🤣🤣😂

I agree! I’m from the South (US) and we have a ton of euphemisms for dead, as in someone “passed away” (which has now just been shortened to “passed”) or “gone home.”
I absolutely hate it. I understand being sensitive to someone’s feelings in a time of grief, but why are we so afraid of calling a thing a thing? They died. Death is a part of life, and we’re all going do it.
*Sorry to go on a mini-rant, but that gets on my last nerve.
@@mrspaulb3889, yes ma'am, completely agree with you!! 💯 Society has become too far gone to come back from this nonsense. The way it's constantly shoved down our throats and if we don't agree or see it differently you're automatically labeled racist or anti whatever it is. The 90's was the last greatest decade and it's been downhill since.
The sinking of the Titanic was a loss waiting to happen. Fire below deck before sailing, poor in area below deck they could not escape, not enough life boats for everyone, reckless direction by captain to assuage owners and big wigs who demanded speed and breaking records. GREED, POWER, CONTROL.
Saddest thing,society didnt learn a thing from that attitude. We just continue to live that way. If ya think about it,society is its own Titanic waiting to sink@sydnidowney3598
He's the first person that finally explained it in detail.
Yes. I found it very interesting. He did a good job explaining what they went through once in the water and what happened to their remains.
Well he’d be the one to know after all…
Some died shitting in the ocean
🎉
Well he did find the thing
Kids in school want this kind of information. As a kid, I'd have been glued to my seat hearing this man talk.
The man is a legend. He found the Titanic, Bismark, and a lot of ships in Iron Bottom Sound. Bob Ballard is his name and I could listen to him talk about these wrecks for hours.
Fr. I hate the sugarcoated stuff and like controversies of for example: america being kinda avoided when some events are detrimental to history and understanding the events that transpired afterwards.
@@Plato628 like what?
You gotta to appreciate Dr. Ballard's honesty in describing the details of the sinking, being direct and without softening the event.
Honesty 😅
How else would people describe it
The visual of bodies raining down in the ocean is frightening poetry.
And extremely unrealistic, no body looks like that at such depth. There were no remains eaten by fish.
That is how some first responders described the poor souls working at WTC on 9/11
What exactly do you think they look like? There was no rapid pressure changes ergo the bodies were intact. @erikheijden9828
@@erikheijden9828 as we all know, bodies cease to exist when they go below a certain depth. the flesh just evaporates, apparently. /s
seriously, what are you on about?
@@the-letter_s I think you are confusing the tin can Titanic with this...😂
No amount of story telling could ever make us comprehend the horror that was felt that night.
I stop watching as soon as the water starts rushing in.
Duh 🙄 I see you’re a miserable pos too like him
Two years later, 1,000 people froze to death in the St Laurence river when the "Empress of Ireland" rolled over after a collision with another ship.
Ok
I think the story of the army men being eaten by sharks all night is way worse
I watched a documentary years back, when they originally found the wreck. They said the hardest thing to get over, was finding hundreds of these shoes laying on the ocean floor. Knowing that was where over a thousand passengers came to rest. The tannic acid on the shoes preserved them.
Yeah, read something similar. There was a line stating, when they found single shoes they could deceive themselves it was just a random shoe. But they mostly found pairs and pairs and pairs.
He told the story scientifically and respectable in a brief nutshell for those wanting to know what truly happened to the passengers....great job!
I want to memorize this monologue for next thanksgiving dinner with the extended family.

You knew someone on the Titanic?
Rip to all those victims. We might not know or remember them individually but they will always be remembered as part of the tragedy x
This is the best way to explain what took place
Thank you sir for not talking to adults like they’re children. Blunt and straight up
You know I forget the people don't realize that Burial at Sea has happened forever. And if bodies didn't dissolve the waters the oceans would be full of not only human carcasses but animal carcasses. So I just you know it boggles the mind that people can be that I wouldn't really want to say stupid but uneducated. But it's breathtaking how little people know about science and how things work. Seriously breathtaking.
Didn't say "unalived" once 👍🏻
This is footage from a lecture he gave for National Geographic in 2012. It's a great lecture. I wouldn't even call it blunt, just honest.
Now I'm going to have bad dreams 😮
@@christyshultz6443you've probably never been outside in your entire life what are you even talking about
Dr. 'Bob' Ballard besides a brilliant mind is a really nice guy. When he did any work at the museum where i worked, he borrowed my desk as it was located near the space where his local people were and I was seldom using it. He never failed to both ask my permission and thank me at the end of his work. He seemed to always be smiling and would happily chat with anyone, staff or visitors. A true pleasure to be around. Let me assure you, not every guest lecturer was as personable. Dr. Ballard was never a diva.
But he's part of the titanic lie.
It was the Olympic not Titanic.
It didnt hit a iceberg.
It was a bomb on the right hand front.
Thats why they never show that side.
Same people did the 3 towers in NY
Thank you for sharing that personal account.
I've been a fan of his since I read about the Bismarck discovery in a Nat Geo mag in the late 80s. He always seemed so genuine in interviews that I saw. Even more so when I saw him speak live in Calgary years ago.
But I'm always skeptical of what we are presented when theists go on.
I'm glad to know my gut feeling was right about him.
Thanks again.
Nice anecdote and accolade! Not to demean his behavior in ANY way, that's how things USED to work in general; there was a lot more mutual courtesy in our culture. You two are great examples!
Thank you for your insight.
That is a nice tribute, well done, Sir.
I love history. Thank you for your in depth analysis of the debris and human remains. I can't imagine what's like to stay in that freezing water waiting to die. Titanic is one of history saddest events😢
The Titanic definitely was an incredible tragedy, but at least many of its victims (mostly those of wealth) are known to myriads of people from all over the world, who are still interested, but also deeply touched by the sudden end to their lives. The victims of other major ship-associsated mass casualties have all but been forgotten, except perhaps on a minor local level, but even then, their individual lives, dreams and hopes have been lost.
Take the sinking of the MS Estonia in the Baltic Sea, claiming the lives of 852 people. This happened in 1994. This all pales to the death toll of the collision of the MV Doña Paz and the MT Vector in the Phillips, killing almost 4400 people in the late 80s. The Ferry Neptune took an estimated 1500 lives as it sank in Haiti 1991, a similar number died in the sinking of the Salem Express, an immensely overcrowded ship in Egypt, 1993.
On a historical level, the sinking of the SS Eastland, in the middle of downtown Chicago in 1915, killed more than 840 people - and while there seems to be a dedicated effort to keep this event alive in local people's minds, the fact that the vast majority of the civilian victims were working-class immigrants, especially from Czech and Polish backgrounds who were on a trip sponsored by their workplace, there'll never be as much of an interested as it exists in the Titanic and it's victims.
Thank you for being so direct and thorough. This is fascinating, and I never even knew this. Wow, it really paints a sad picture.
That transition is getting to be an art form
Near perfect loop
Because they arbitrarily cut the video specifically to elicit this comment. They put the end of the video at the beginning, and the loop actually starts at around 10s. The transition from talking about their shoes to photographing the titanic makes no sense. It's still interesting but don't fall for the tricks
Obviously cut but you're not familiar with the concept of a hook?@@perryperihelion

Thought I would post this. He is now 81 years old. Robert Duane Ballard is an American retired Navy officer and a professor of oceanography at the University of Rhode Island who is most noted for his work in underwater archaeology: maritime archaeology and archaeology of shipwrecks.
Sandra: thank you so much for posting this. I have wondered what happened with this fascinating ,brave, brilliant man, who, years ago had videos that i watched. I learned so much about one of my favorite subjects:subjects, the deep sea.
@@lindakrumenauer1099 My pleasure. I am blessed with a sense of curiosity, and when I find something interesting, I enjoy digging for more information! It completes the story.
Thank you for crediting this man. Very interesting & worth credit for his amazing expertise & knowledge of his life's work. Love listening to him speak as well...he's "THAT KIND" of professor that keeps your attention in his story telling. 🙏♥️🇺🇲
Salute to this great person and his achievements-all of them. May he enjoy many healthy years ahead.
Yes and he worked at Woodshole Oceanagraphic institute on Capecod Ma.
You’ve worked hard to earn everything you have, you’ve found an audience who really appreciate your talents, and you are such an inspiration - especially with your consistency. You’re a good egg, Adam!
I remember having Dr. Ballard as a nautical archaeology professor in the 90's. He was a cool professor...👍🏼
My great great uncle was from Germany and his wife from Ireland . They moved to France and he eventually came to the us (mystic Iowa) with 4 of his 8 children. His wife (my great great aunt) and the other 4 children were the only French passengers on the titanic I believe. They all perished tragically 💔 they were third class and more than likely had no life jackets either….I didn’t know them but it’s so sad to think my uncle lost half his children and his wife on that ship….lefebvre is the last name of anyone wants to look them up. Marie, Matilde, lidonie I can’t remember the other names but those r their names. Rest in paradise to the souls lost 🙏🏻

They actually had 9 children. Jules had to stay back in France due to the military while your great great aunt Marie and her children (your first cousins twice removed) Mathilde, Jeannie, Henri, and Ida all went on the titanic. Jules died from wounds sustained during WWI. Your great great uncle Franck and his children Marie, Franck Jr., Celina, and Anselme were all in the US when the titanic sank
Edit: your great great aunt and uncles and first cousins twice removed are very confusing

Mr. Bob Ballard didn't only discover the legendary
Titanic, he also discovered
another legendary ship......
the famous AND infamous
great German battleship
Bismarck.
Bob Ballard was my mom's neighbor on Cape Cod, his sister was my professor at Phillips Andover....my neighbor in Cambria California was the brother of the oceanographer who went down to the bottom of the Marianas Trench
@@yodservantthat’s pretty awesome!
I read that he was contractually obligated to search for the Bismark, and after finding it with time to spare, he decided to look for the Titanic to kill time
He never found the titanic. Because it never sunk
He found its sister ship
Dr Ballard speaks like a scientist. Tells facts, unemotionally and detached. I’d rather hear the facts about history as it’s easier to take in and then process the emotional and dramatic side later.
Thank you for telling us. I had always wanted to know what had happened to the lost. Like how he points it all out in a clear way without sounding morbid. RIP to all lost in RMS Titanic.
This is Dr. Robert Ballard. Pioneering undersea researcher. After all the movies and such about the sinking of the Titanic, he needs to be remembered as the scientist who discovered the site of the wreck.
Hey, Bob Ballard, I met him in Tulsa when he gave a speech about the Titanic probably 25 years ago. Great speaker.
I'm so sorry I don't mean to be rude but I cannot tell if you are joking or not is this a serious statement or are you yanking the chain seriously if this is a serious remark more power to you but if this is a joke this is damn good this is the kind of dry humor that Fred Willard would be rolling in his grave right now over if he was in a grave I'm pretty sure he's still alive #fred Willard lives

@@corymullins2849 Why would you think he was kidding? I met Mr. Ballard also when I went Woods Hole years ago. He is a really nice guy!
Wish he never told anyone where it was. The sea lost a part of its romance when they found Titanic
I've always been fascinated with shipwrecks, since Ballard found the Titanic. Later, I became a Master SCUBA Diver Trainer and taught Wreck Diving as one of the specialty courses. I lived in Las Vegas for awhile, and the Titanic exhibit came and I knew I had to go. To be able to touch the hull, to see the person artifacts, it was a very moving and humbling experience. To be able to fathom what those people went through, and to think of what was witnessed by the very few that survived...just leaves me speechless.
What's really horrible to me is the fact that had they made the ship the way the designer wanted it, it's very likely the ship would not have sunk.
Well you know there are submersible tours that will take you down to the titanic!
@TheMarioMen1 hmmm, the last submersible ride didn't work out too well. Might pass for now lol (God rest their souls)

You still alive?
Fun ghoulish fact; disembodied, shoed feet wash up on beaches not because there's a serial killer with a foot fetish, but because shoes preserve feet rather well and the scavengers can't get to them as easily (these are often assumed to be drownings).

I’ve watched dozens of documentaries on the Titanic and and it took a ticktock loop to explain what happened to the people, which was pretty much what I figured happened.
I didn't think they would sink all that way w out being in the ship but now I see how 😢 very sad
@@brettm1369 I knew that hundreds of bodies went to the ocean floor but I never specifically knew what happened to the bodies afterward. One of the documentaries I saw talked about how anyone floating in the water near the ship when it went down would follow the ship to the bottom, whether they had a life vest on or not because a large ship will basically create a void in the water as it sinks, I believed they called it aeration, which basically causes a loss of buoyancy. They said one of the main reasons the titanic's crewmen in charge of the lifeboats wouldn't allow them to go back to the ship to pick up people in the water was out of fear that they would fall prey to the aeration and end up on the ocean bottom too.
It's a lie but ok
Excuse my ignorance, but are animals living at that depth and temperature??
Alien abducted them and they left the shoes. True story
I learned more from this short than I did in all of highschool.
I work offshore on an oil drilling rig in 8000ft of water roughly 145 miles from the nearest land. We have companies come out every so often to use ROVs to inspect the risers and pipelines running on the sea floor. During Covid I watched one of the ROV operators computer screens as he was inspecting the sea floor and we spotted what looked to be either a 36” or 48” pipe wrench half submerged in the sea floor. It is surreal to think how it got there and how long it’s sat there. One of the coolest things I’ve seen
He looked delighted the whole time, like he could barely keep from smiling.
In spring 1985, my history and geography teacher combined their classes, and we studied the Titanic for a month. They did it every year for the third graders (that's our junior class). Everything from the history of the journey to the workings of the ocean. They had copies of newspapers from 1912, and we watched documentaries on the TV and VCR cart (the one that rolled into the classroom and you had to close all the curtains 😂).
They were both very intrigued by the entire story and loved sharing their knowledge. We discussed theories about where it could be and why it was never found.
Then, in September 1985, the news about the discovery reached us. The history teacher heard it first on the radio. He literally ran down the hall, screaming: "They found it, they found it!"
Apparently, he stormed into the geography class, and they danced, hugged and cried!
I don't think I've ever seen them happier than on that day.
It's one of my best high school memories. I know finding the Titanic was far more important for people who survived or lost their loved ones. But I'm forever thankful to dr. Ballard, everyone in my school was happy that day and we'll always remember that.
Would really cool teachers you had because they really opened your minds to the possibility that history is more than just Dusty books in the opens you to the possibility that geography and biology of the oceans etc it's just as exciting as the future and what you're going to do Friday night. All it takes is a teacher who can excite into wanting to learn more,
Thank you for taking the time to share your story.
Highlight of my day.
Its funny that the only reason they looked for it for real was as a cover story for looking for a lost Soviet sub.
What A memorable moment for you all.
@@TatsuZZmage Really??!!
I've seen images of those shoes for years and I have never heard a thorough narrative from an expert on the story of those people. May God bless their souls.
Amen. What a horrible way to go. It is unsettling the thought of just look at a bunch of shoes that represent the deceased.
And to think the creator killed them all just to prove a point and humble us. Leave a mess if you want to send a message. No one knows that better than the creator.
@@okeanosokeanos2716definitely not a cult
@@achair7265 at the holocaust museum I went to one of the rooms is just full of shoes from the people killed there.
Wow what a terrible god you believe in that kills people to prove who's the boss. If there's a god, I'm sure it's not a spiteful being. These people died because of many mistakes, like not stopping to sail the ice field in the morning, not having enough lifeboats, and the idiotic captain of the Californian, who couldn't be bothered to verify the distress signals, not because of some hateful god.
I remember when he first went down there in the 80s, my elementary school, in Sarasota, Florida, was invited to a presentation by him, live from his research vessel, at Mote Marine Aquarium. I have been fascinated with Titanic since!!
I saw Robert Ballard in his Titanic presentation in HI. Phenomenal. I bought his book at the time
Thank you Dr BALLARD for finding the Titanic. In 1969 I was 9 when I watched "A Night to Remember". I've been hooked ever since. In 1984 when I heard the news I couldn't believe it. Then years later I saw the complete Titannic exhibition. I touched the large piece of its hull. I saw those artifacts shown in this video. It was very touching. ❤
I touched the faux iceberg wall at their exhibit in STL and could barely keep my hand on it for a few seconds. Could not imagine floating in that icy water 🥺
The search for the Titanic was a cover story for the search for a sunk Soviet submarine.Dr Ballard found the sub. He was then allowed to look for this great ship
I touched that piece as well while i was touching it i was like this was 4 miles under the ocean in darkness for so many years sad, but amazing.
I saw A Night to Remember when I was about 9 yrs. old, too! I was traumatized for a long time. 😮
We the same age. Saw that movie about the same time. I've also been hooked ever since

@@ttyngordonwants to be edgy
Nah man they kicked of their shoes cause they couldn't swim with them .then when the perished the current took them away floating .only a thought
Absolutely! Too much silly avoidance of reality. Too much exploitation of a tragedy by greedy actors looking for trinkets to sell. There is/was a lesson here: The Unsinkable sank, and 1500 souls were lost.
Came here to say that
Wow...nice loop! The beginning made a nice ending!
Fascinating facts. Learning from this man. Never understood this before. Thank you.
My 2x great grandparents and 3 of their children perished at the bottom of the St. Lawrence River on the Empress of Ireland. This video brings such heaviness to my heart, thinking about those lost souls and the grief my Great Grandmother felt knowing she’d never properly lay them to rest.
Sorry for your lost
I learned about that tragedy as every year the French Immersion grade six students at my school read a fictional story about that disaster. It isn't as known even though actually the loss of life was as catastrophic if not more so that the Titanic.

Could you imagine this monologue being attached to the ending credits of the '97 Titanic movie. It would totally kill the mood. 😂
The best, most authentic movie about the Titanic is 1954's "A Night To Remember," starring Sir Kenneth More. Cameron's version, not so much.
😂😂😂😂
what really would ruin the mood is to say how tiny the number of dead people of an accident are compared to the number of dead civilians in gaza
So..... the deaths of the original Titanic passengers were not enough of a buzz kill??
No it would make it more real.

Literally their final footsteps, frozen in time on the ocean floor
Interesting. I always wondered why no one ever spoke of finding human remains. Such heartbreaking history
Also don't forget how deep down the Titanic sits. It's depths stopped anyone from diving the wreck until not to long ago
there wouldn't be any human remains on the wreck of the RMS Titanic as Dr. Ballard said the sea creatures like crabs and various sorts of fish would nibble on the flesh of the bodies for a few years. So decades upon decades later there wouldn't even be skeletal remains on the sea bed of the ocean. The bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is an extremely DARK territory and VERY DANGEROUS to explore
Two and one half miles I heard .
They probably found a few bodies who wore life jackets floating and allowed their families to bury them.
Simple, Informative, Direct
Finally a good explanation!
I really appreciate this narrative loop 👏🏼
Wow, I think I can listen to this man all day. Because he made this really, really interesting. Thank you, sir.😮
Right to the point. That's for sure...

He was my hero back in the 80’s. I couldn’t wait for the National Geographic’s to come out with his discoveries.

I had the same thought ..... What? ...... Too soon?

Dr. Ballard is such a cool guy with a Great sense of humor!
Look how his eyes shine whilst sharing this. 😊

All alone with a bunch of pity likes. Nobody cares.
I was able to work with Bob Ballard in 2014. I was the lead carpenter on "The Titanic Expo" at the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut The project took about two month and it a project I will never forget. There are still pictures of the Titanic Expo on Mystic Aquarium's web site.

It's the deep sea, it's extremely cold, little oxygen, no light, stuff doesn't really Decay down there.
Truly fascinating how still and preserved everyone’s things are. The clothes, the shoes, the coins.. all of the stuff a person would use whilst on the Titanic or in their daily lives. I’m glad I stumbled across this video.
It’s true. You can’t take it with you.
@@snydedon9636You still need a coin for the ferryman
@@snydedon9636My thoughts exactly. Should be a wake up call for those that blindly accumulate wealth to impress others but people think they're not going to die.
That cut was so beautiful I almost watched it twice
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND HIGHLY RESPECT & HOLD DR. ROBERT BALLARD IN VERY HIGH REGARD. PLEASE NY GOD BLESS HIM.
The term 'removed their flesh' is a nice way of saying they were eaten.
They devoured them in a feeding frenzy, feeling the primal pleasure of extra blood flow to the stomach and surges of gastric juices.
How does that rate for ummm… like not actually nice… at all?😅☺️
no. I think just saying they were eaten would have been nicer. just saying.
That is a very interesting description of why no bodies are found at the bottom of deep water.
I could be reading your comment wrong but are you possibly insinuating something else?
What’s horrifying is that many people probably stayed alive in air pockets for who knows how long!
So for those wondering, this is Dr. Robert D Ballard. His team was the first to discover and visit the final resting site of the Titanic starting back in 1985.
Just want to say whoever edited this did an amazing job both with the summarization of this explanation and with the cut to the loop at the end you absolutely killed it. Bravo editor guy!
they only do that loop to force you to watch the video twice and all the way through. it’s smooth but only done to satisfy the algorithm
@@TriniLime123So! It's still good editing.
🎉bravo 🎉on the editing!!! I LOVED the Titanic 💙 when i watched it at the theater
It’s not hard to do a loop lol
Science. Awesome.
RIP to the lost souls aboard that doomed ship.
Thank you. One of us survived. The rest were in third class and couldn't get out. Like in the movie.😢
RIP to the lost soles too.

Irreverent, sarcastic and not bad, Rusto!
@@PlatinumIrishrose😊pil😊
So, did anybody else by any chance, just so happen to notice, and, or, see the/a ""quarter - dollar coin"" ??, just outside of, and below the inner outsole of a ""boot"" -> 🥾"* ??
Learn something new every day. I would have believed the bodies would have floated even without the life vests.
Seeing the shoes scattered about the sea floor where the wreckage of the Titanic came to rest really puts into perspective the grim reality of the fate of over 1000 passengers… 😢
Robert Ballard. Legend.
That loop is absolutely pristine!
smooth as avocado
No it isn't. The loop is about 7 seconds into the video. Purposely cutting the end to go back. It's crap.
Wherever you see 2 identical shoes, close to each other on the bottom, that's where a body landed.
Brutally honest explanation. Love it.
Can I give this more than a thumbs up. I wish people wouldn't sugar coat history.
Dr Ballard is one of the worlds finest explorers. Definitely a hero of mine,
You need to find better heos lol
I met Dr. Ballard at a speech he gave many years ago, partway through the seminar he refused to answer any more questions about the Titanic. It's sad that he speaks of it when it suits him, I guess it's true when they say never meet your heroes.
Wow this information explains a lot about people who died from this wreck.
Amazing scientist.
I was fortunate to see him speak years ago in Calgary.
Imagine being a fly on the wall at a dinner with DR Ballard and Jacque Cousteau. That would be cool..
He explained it in a way for us ALL to understand! Thank You!
It’s so creepy thinking of all those corpses drifting down at once
The photos of the shoes down there are haunting af
RIP to all the people who lost their lives on the titanic ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, Ballard answers all my questions about the passengers´s fate in 2 Minutes.
WHOA! This guy painted a REAL PICTURE of what happened.
