    There was a lady who was a child at the time and saw the Titanic break in half as it went under, no one believed her, men who weren't even there telling her she was mistaken. 75 years or so later she was proved right. I'm glad she lived to experience that vindication.

    The story that most broke my heart is that of Edgardo Samuel Andrew. The fact that at 17, he left by himself to travel the vast ocean to a completely new continent and country in 3rd class. I can’t imagine his fear as the ship was partially submerged, realizing that in fact it was going down but at 17 he did not constitute as a child, and therefore could not receive a seat on a lifeboat. He had to die alone on that ship, wondering if anyone would ever know his story. He may have been one of the unfortunate souls who were trapped underneath, which is a far more horrifying way to die. God bless those 1500 souls ❤

    RIP PH Nargeolet. Dedicated his adult life to researching the ship and has been laid to rest with the very thing that captured his curiosity. I have to imagine he had a different view than most on life and death. 36 or something missions to the Titanic is the definition of rolling the dice but he did it anyway. A rare, true modern day explorer. It's a shame that so many people are making light of this situation. Whether it was foolish to get on that shoddy submersible or not, those 5 men are now in a watery grave and should be treated with the respect of the dead.

    I remember driving cross country with my father in the mid 1980s, right after the Titanic was discovered. He was in the iron and steel business, and having grown up in the Soviet Union and Iran, had never heard of the Titanic. I told him about the iceberg having opened a gash in the side of the ship, and he looked at me incredulously and said, "that is impossible. You just can't cut one inch thick steel with ice." He then proceeded to explain how ships of the era were made of steel places that were riveted together, and he said what probably happened was that the iceberg distorted some of the steel plates and popped the rivets, and water was able to get in between the plates. He was a pretty smart guy!

    An interesting family story. My grandfather was supposed to be on the titanic. As far as I was told, he had a reservation but missed it because he slept in to long. He probably was pretty poor at the time, so it's likely that he would have been sealed in the lower levels if when the ship went down. Our whole family line would have ended there if he hadn't made that mistake. Hurray for sleeping in I guess?
    He ended up taking the next ship over, which thankfully did not sink.

    Since I’m posting after the Titan incident, I haven’t gone through all the comments. But, with the points made about the ship breaking up nearer to the bottom doesn’t jive with the previous assertion that the stern must’ve twisted all the way down, causing the tracks and other evidence. I know we have a lot to learn, and it’s unlikely we will ever know for sure, but I found those two diametrically opposed. Did anyone else notice that? Or maybe I missed an explanation.
    With much respect for the loss of innocent lives, like Edgardo (Sam), the 17 year old with his whole life ahead of him, I thank you for sharing stories of people that were not rich or famous, but had value. Rest well, to all lost in that tragic day.

When is it enough to just let it be and let the souls there Rest In Peace? And for people to stop risking their lives to be near it? We have learned all that we can about this lost ship.

    The breakup must have happened on the surface, when the ship tilted upward. To me that makes the most sense, because at that point there would've been the most pressure on the stern. Most definitely the major structural integrity of the ship must have been compromised at the moment when she tilted upwards, she collapsed under her own weight. I mean, it could be that it actually separated below the surface, but the actual breakup happened when she tilted, no doubt about it.

      At 12,400 feet of depth, the pressure is very roughly about 400 to 500 times the pressure at sea level. It is astounding that the little jar of perfume is still intact, especially considering that it may have decelerated against a wall. And I have heard, I think, that someone recovered a bottle of wine from the wreck - intact.

      @@fitnesspoint2006 Exactly! It's bad enough the MSM is getting carried away w/their banner headlines, the "Titanic" took 5 more lives in referencing the incident aboard the submersible considering they were paying tourists, going to gawk at a gravesite that's been turned into an adventure destination for the wealthy (for their conversation starters at their fancy dinner parties) but they died in the blink of an eye, as opposed to the victims aboard the Titanic who suffered at death's door for 2 1/2 hrs before being plunged into the icy waters to suffer for up to 45 min. before succumbing to hypothermia.
      RIP to all people and animals who died aboard the Titanic.🌹❤

    about the titanic not separating above water because of the debris scattering, another explanation is that the enormous suction of the stern sinking just kept all of the objects closer to the ship on its way down, which is why they might not be as spread out.

    UGH the pounding dramatic intensity nearly makes this into a parody. It's practically unwatchable. The repetition. The pounding narration. We get it.

    I like how they just discard numerous eye witness testimonies of survivors who literally saw the ship break apart on the surface before their eyes.
    “We know that you were there and saw it but just trust us-WE know better than you do. You didn’t see what you thought you saw.” 😆

      I couldn't agree more... Col. Archibald Gracie, a survivor from 1st class, wrote a book of not only his own experience but also a compilation of other survivor accounts. A truly fascinating read! Many people reported the ship breaking apart and a sound like near continuous distant artillery after the stern left the surface. Such a dismissive analysis on the part of the documentary!

      I was in bank robbery pointed at with a gun with multiple of my colleagues. If there wasnt the video footage of the robbery itself, each of us would describe the robber differently including color of his clothes etc. People facing terror are giving misleading testimonies and description. I didnt believe it, until it happened to me too. Now you realize when there is catastrophic event, it always leaves whole scale of stories what actually had happened.

      I was going to include similar.
      One can ask ten people who saw an incident together. And you will hear ten different descriptions.
      It is one reason eye witnesses are unreliable.

      The ship may have broke at the surface as depicted in the video, and remained hinged together part way down to the bottom, the keel and the double bottom were probably the strongest part of the ship
