If I remember correctly, there's also the problem that the binocular (similar tool) on Titanic was locked and the person who has the key was not on board that day which lead to the watcher fail to recognize the ice berg until its too late. And Titanic actually receive few ice berg warnings from other ships but decided to ignore it to get a faster voyage record.
No. There was no missing key. There were no binoculars, as the lookout testified at the Inquiry. Titanic was not attempting a record crossing. Even at full speed, the Olympics were around four knots slower than the Lusitanias.
Lookouts weren't typically given binoculars (called glasses at the time). Lookouts were supposed to spot something and then immediately alert the bridge. It was then the officer's job to identify a potential threat. A lookout using glasses would just take too long. Glasses are basically useless in the dark, anyway. All of this was stated in the inquiries when not having glasses was put on trial, so to speak. The glasses that were locked up were supplied to Titanic's original second officer David Blair. When he was replaced by Charles Lightoller, Lightoller likely brought his own aboard. All the other officers had glasses supplied by the White Star Line. There certainly wasn't a shortage. The ice warnings were not ignored. The crew was on alert, watching carefully for ice. The last ice warning that was ignored is just a scapegoat. It probably would not have changed a thing. The crew already knew about that same ice field. The White Star Line did not build ships for speed. Their ships were wider and larger than competitors to make them more luxurious. Comfort over speed. Olympic and Titanic were fast in their own rights, but in no way could they compete with Mauretania (the fastest ship in the world for many years) and Lusitania.

@@taimuralam6502actually it was 5 minutes they were sent up, one after another. But yes, it was supposed to be 1 minute intervals for most ships to understand if another was in an emergency
no that's not true, The Titanic Operator knew the Californian had reported ice flows and that they were stopped. He just didn't report it to the bridge.
You know one of my great grandmothers was on that ship, she was also made a widow that day. She told her children and grandchildren that they were on the Titanic, and when they found the wreckage in 1985 my family couldn't believe it! Her memory, her legacy, everything! Can you imagine what that did to the family? In terms of what she saw that fateful night may sound disappointing, but this is the fact. It was night time, sight was restricted. She spoke about how the ship was listing so much before the lights started cutting in and out, that the whole ship was almost capsized. How it stayed afloat was incredible. There were a series of power failures. The lights would flicker dim to bright or cut out and in again. Eventually, the lights cut out but didn't cut back in and the Titanic was then nothing but a faint shadow against the starry skyline. Then all of a sudden there were a series of big explosions followed by sparks, fire, and flames which then left a huge and thick layer of black and grey smoke engulfing the ship. Nobody from that position could see anything else other than that smoke and people trying to swim away screaming. She couldn't watch anymore, her life was ruined. Her husband, her belongings, her whole life. Imagine this! Imagine watching a ship sink with the person you love the most on it, knowing there is nothing you can do to save their life.

The ship that could have saved everyone but only some is the carpathia, carpathia was finished building in 1903. When they saw the leftover people in the lifeboats from titanic, they saved their lives. Unfrotunely, the carpathia sank as well.
@Verdant thunder NYA Go to the channels Part Time Explorer, Titanic: Honor and Glory, Historic Travels, Titanic Animations, and Titanic University if you want to learn about real Titanic history instead of this clickbait garbage.
Titanic 1. Binoculars 2. Full steam ahead 3. 20 lifeboats instead of 60 4. Wrong colour distress signal 🆘 5. Signals timed every 15 mins instead of every 1 minutes 3.
And she had enough boats for the situation they were ment for witch was carrying people from a ship in distress to another next to the ship in distress not hold everyone from the ship in the water so technically she had enough they were just not ment to handle that situation.
Atleast 3 to 4 ships warned titanic about iceberg during noon but still they were sailing in same high speed .So first whoever not decreased the speed and ignored those warning are mainly guilty.
It was common practice to keep a passenger ship moving at full speed until danger was actually spotted. This was stated during the inquiries. Other captains testified that they would have done the same had they not actually spotted ice.
Californian was one of the ships that warned Titanic about ice and also continued steaming at full speed until she did a crash stop at about 10.30 when she was also surrounded by ice.
white rockets also meant distress back then, fired at 1 min intervals or short intervals which is what the Titanic were doing. Go check out the courtroom inquiry of the californian where the captain and the 3 officers were questioned on why they didn't come to aid.
The Titanic had enough life boats, Back then the idea was to use lifeboats to transport passengers from one to another ship and go back and get another batch of passengers. They never used life boats to be filled with all the passengers and crew at the same time.
1. He would have gone to sleep either way. 2. Titanic only ignored this warning because they already relayed previous warnings. 3. They should have woken their Wireless operator when they noticed titanic behaving strangely. Californians captain was either selfish or a fool. I do respect their wireless operator as he did nothing wrong and probably would have turned back on the device if asked which he wasn’t.
The titanic didn’t sink because of the ice berg, it actually sped up the flow of water intake. Something happened below deck and an explosion occurred that weakened the inside of the hull. The ice berg was at first, believed to be the main cause, but it was partially the reason
its not an explosion its an iceberg because if a ship hits something it woulld be sound like an explosion.The exlosion was after the iceberg hit the explosion was at the back
The stern of titanic imploded after it sank because of pressure difference unlike the front of the ship because it had Time to flood every where after the break up the stern was compromised and sinking rapidly not every room had time to flood which caused air pockets and 30 seconds after the stern went underwater it imploded in on itself because of pressure differences! There was no second explotion on the ship!
The Californian's crew were asleep and stuck anyway. They had warned Titanic all day about icebergs and that's why the ship was docked for the night and they encouraged Captain Smith and First Officer Murdoch to do the same. Had they woken up immediately, it would have taken them far too long to start the ship up and the fact that entire ice fields seperated them from Titanic. The mirage effect that was at play made the ships seem closer to each other than they actually were. One or two lifeboats began to frantically paddle to the ship to get their attention and they couldn't find the ship. It seemed a mile or so away and yet it was much further out. The crew didn't even find out about the sinking until the following morning and it costed that Captain his job. The sinking of Titanic was part arrogance and part ignorance. The ignorance part was no one thought an iceberg could sink a ship like Titanic cause she was magnificently built. The arrogance part was that they refused to take the warnings and stop for the night. The ship wasn't going for speed records, they just didn't want to delay passengers, which they should have.
I should say that the Titanic Crew and staff should be guilty for this because, earlier when The Californian ship warned the Titanic, they just ignored it .
@@menofcatholicism Meh. They were working on the side to make extra money. First class folks paid them extra for them to send messages asap. So the crew’s greed also got in the way. They should be blamed as well.
The rush to get the ship out to sea,the missed communication from the Titanic to the Californian and visa versa were all factors in the sinking,the Captain of the Californian was not negligent at all
This is actually a really cool video and the way it was animated! Great job Bright side, now we can all be informed of the truth of what happened that night ☺️🕊️🚢🚢😌
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the darks thoughts, the overthinking, the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life..
@@99mrpogi Honestly, probably not. The ship sank before all of the 20 boats she did have could be launched, and any extras would have been more crumbling debris during the ship's violent breakup. Even if some boats did survive, passengers would have been scrambling to climb them until the cold prevented them from moving or the boat got swamped.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 Yes there is. ! It’s near the wreckage. It’s in one of the many documentaries James Cameron did for National Geographic. They were shocked to find that the rockets were coloured. There is footage of this, clearly you haven’t watched the many many documentaries of the wreckage on the sea bed or you would know this.
@@felixculpa9303 You have misunderstood me. A box of rockets was found, but there was nothing definitively to indicate their colours. Witnesses such as Crawford, Boxall, Pitman, Bright, Symons, Rowe, & Lightoller all referred to rockets being fired, or indeed firing them themselves, but none described any specific colours.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 You can see the colours on the tops of the rockets. Californian's officers said the rockets were a variety of colours, which added to their confusion.
Coloured rockets were found on ship's wreck and some survivors claimed that they saw coloured rockets used together with the white ones so... the mistery is bigger than we 🤔🤔🤔
@@nitrospitfire6345 sorry if I misunderstood your comment. but my point was just that around those years, it didn’t matter which colour of flare was launched, only the intervals of these launches. I believe distress signals used a time interval of 1 minute.
When the wreck of the Titanic was discovered in 1985 she was found to be 12 miles away from her stated position. This puts the Californian at over 20 miles away. Even if she was alerted, by the time she made steam and got under way she couldn't have made the rescue in time. The other glaring ommision here is the fact that Titanic was foolishly sailed into the North Atantic icebelt. All ships stopped at the icebelt at night, many ship owners would dismiss a Capt. who disobeyed and risked his ship and the lives of crew and passengers. There are only two people responsible, Islay the Chairman of the White Star line who wanted Titanic to dock in New York in record time, thus claiming the Blue Riband and publicity, and Smith the Capt. who threw caution to the wind and cost the lives of so many. All in all this video is inaccurate, misconstrues accepted versions of particular events, does a disservice to the reputations of many, doesn't hold the real perpetrators to account, and is poorly done
Wow Bright Side says that there are a lot of reasons why the Titanic sank AND 1500 peopel died. An officer kicked out of the ship taking the keys to the binoculars with him, the ship going at top speed, shortage of lifeboats, forgetting red fireworks, a Californian ship ignoring the sinking (BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T KNOW), etc.
Bright Side please, I beg you, get your facts straight about the Titanic. I've seen many of your videos and you get so many things wrong. There are too many to name in one comment actually.
Scary how much misinformation there is in this video, and how many people who comments without actually understanding what led up to Titanic sinking. If anyone want to understand what ACTUALLY happened, you need to listen to people like Historic Travels and Oceanliner Designs. Also bright side and whoever made this video, you should be ashamed.
@@PelsckoPolesko yep.. actual people died and they seem to completely forget it. In another video they talk about the kraken attacking the Titanic as if it’s reality. No shame
alll i have to say is those ships are super unrealistic pictures , the californian is the carpathia , the carpathia is the queen elizabeth , the titanic is normal tho
Fun fact :the Olympic ship was the famous Titanic but sadly they simply switched the too up, so the Olympic ship was actually the famous Titanic….(if you don’t understand version): so basically before the movie titanic the ocean liner switched the names so Olympic was actually the titanic all along so the titanic was Olympic 😢😢😢 PLEASE NOTICE!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️(ALL THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT MADE BY ME ALSO YOU CAN LOOK IT UP IF IM WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME!!!!!!)
Have you thought to ask how long it would take for a group of untrained people to row a lifeboat ten miles or so, assuming they even knew the direction in which to row?
Fun but sad fact : the Olympic could of saved titanic but the white star line said it'd be traumatic to people if they were asked to board a twin like boat
Olympic was around 500 miles off. They would not have reached titanic. Keep in mind carpathia took 4 hours to get to the titanic survivors from a little over 50 miles while going above their top speed. I doubt many passengers would care about weather or not their savior was titanic solder sister if it meant they lived.
@@kingdynal7735 Remember, it also took an additional 4 and a half hours for the Carpathia to find and pick up every one of the survivors after just finding the first lifeboat and the Olympic was about 110 miles away from the Titanic sinking scene when she got turned down as all lifeboats had been accounted for. The Olympic probably would’ve rescued some of the Titanic survivors if it weren’t Harold Cottam staying up later than usual and just wearing his headphones while on no official duty at all, just in the process of getting undressed for bed before shutting the room down when he just accidentally heard the Titanic’s distress call.
Bruce ismay was to blame, having a terrible influence over the captain on the voyage, and ismay had the lifeboats reduced from 48 to 16 plus 4 collapsible ones, (one of those he ended up in) in ismays own words, "people want to look at views of the ocean, not lifeboats" well I bet the view wasn't pleasant when she was sinking... But the number of lifeboats conformed to the law of the time, nevertheless, he personally reduced the numbers by 28, so ultimately he is responsible.
Well if you really think about it the SS California could have saved more lives than Carpathia because it was the closest ship and if it was responded quicker to the distress flares they could have saved more lives
@thecaringadolfhitler9186 You are incorrect. The reason the Titanic was going full speed is because the crew thought they could see for miles in all directions. However, that was due to some optical illusions that night. One of them being the cold water mirage. Also, it was very dark, and the visibility was actually very low. They didn't realize until it was too late. But from the crew's perspective, it was a clear night with miles of visibility. The Titanic's captain wasn't known as the "millionaire's captain" for nothing. He was indeed a smart man. You can't blame him. He thought that he could see for miles. Mainly because of the cold water mirage that night.
Californian can't save Titanic either way because the distance at this point is only 20 miles. Top speed of Californian is only a maximum of 12 knots. It takes about 2:50 hours to reach the scene of the accident. That would be Titanic gone.
Doubt, because this guys channel was created in 2017, only about 5 years ago, and considering you are 18, and you started when you were 8. You’d only be 13.
The wireless operator told the operator on the California not to keep sending the warnings as he was busy making money for personal communications of the rich. That's why the California turned off the radio.
The Carpathia was not going at full speed. They were going *past* their full speed. To the point where the engine was *permanently* broken. This was rumored to be one of the leading reasons of Carpathia's Sinking
At 00:45 you mention the moon hiding behind clouds and bad visibility, but iirc it was a clear sky the night the titanic sank, and there was no moon. How come?
The ship that was near by was a The Samson, a Norwegian sealing ship. The ships crew were illegally fishing. The RMS Californian was not near the titanic.
There is also a suggestion that the ship spotted from Titanic was not Californian at all, but the Canadian Pacific cargo liner Mount Temple. She was similar in appearance and size to Californian, and a number of passengers and crew members made claims of this nature to Canadian newspapers. However, what historical evidence exists suggests that Mount Temple was about 60 miles away. The claims about Mount Temple were made by the journalist Senan Moloney, who has something of a track record where Titanic is concerned, and some would consider to be less than reliable, especially when he was promoting his book.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 Yeah, it was Californian. Mount Temple was too far away to help. Californian's crew said they saw rockets and a big steamer way off in the distance.
This has been disproven. The Samson was in Iceland on April 6, 1912 and was back in Iceland on April 20, 1912. If she was anywhere near the Titanic on April 14/15th she would have had to make a 3,000 mile round trip in fourteen days. This is impossible since her top speed was six knots.
Titanic makers are guilty because they didn’t followed any of safety rules like not having enough life saving boats, forgot to bring red colour crackers, not properly responding to the radio signals, what else we gone except from that ship 🚢
It just seems that the fault lies with the Titanic crew. First they forgot to have red flares. Then they not only ignore the warnings of California ship but also gets them off the radio communication. It just seems one mistake after the other from Titanic crew
Titanic carried 36 state of the art explosive flares. Californian simply reported that she had stopped for the night due to sheet ice. Californian only had one wireless operator, and her wireless shut down when his shift ended.
I remember a documentary that the titanic was rushed. But also in the star bright sky, there was no way for the ships to signal each other clearly with signal lights.
@@thomaslycke6990 There were two lookouts in the crow's nest, which was standard. Plus, there were plenty of eyes keeping watch from the bridge. It wasn't as though they just weren't looking at all. That's ridiculous.
The pen had been lifted. What happened was meant to happe. One thing after another, all the lack of oversight and unpreparedness, it’s sad but we are only visitors here.

Not true, lots if videos proving that wrong
Californian was one of the ships that warned Titanic about ice and also continued steaming at full speed until she did a crash stop at about 10.30 when she was also surrounded by ice.
Anyone else ever thought about how this man gets all this information on certain topics?
Lol ikr
Google
Unfortunately, most of it is wrong.
he makes up most of it
@@munastronaut8147 Nope, he gets it from wikipedia 🤓
white rockets also meant distress back then, fired at 1 min intervals or short intervals which is what the Titanic were doing. Go check out the courtroom inquiry of the californian where the captain and the 3 officers were questioned on why they didn't come to aid.
I beg to differ. They were firing at 5 minute intervals which at the time meant "I'm not in command; stay clear"
The problem is The titanic didn't have enough life boats
The Titanic had enough life boats, Back then the idea was to use lifeboats to transport passengers from one to another ship and go back and get another batch of passengers. They never used life boats to be filled with all the passengers and crew at the same time.
They wouldn't had enough time to send them out to sea if they send them out manually, they would also need some powerful cranes to send them out fast
Tests have been done now that show there wasn’t enough time to launch them. And life boats had previously been used to ferry people between ships.

Amazing, you got many things wrong or poorly explained
thats because the titanic ignored about the iceberg warnings from Californian, so they went to sleep and ignored titanic.
No, they steered the ship further south to avoid all the bergs so they did take extra steps to avoid danger
1. He would have gone to sleep either way.
2. Titanic only ignored this warning because they already relayed previous warnings.
3. They should have woken their Wireless operator when they noticed titanic behaving strangely.
Californians captain was either selfish or a fool. I do respect their wireless operator as he did nothing wrong and probably would have turned back on the device if asked which he wasn’t.
Fun fact the stranger was trying to warn them about the icebergs
The titanic didn’t sink because of the ice berg, it actually sped up the flow of water intake. Something happened below deck and an explosion occurred that weakened the inside of the hull. The ice berg was at first, believed to be the main cause, but it was partially the reason
its not an explosion its an iceberg because if a ship hits something it woulld be sound like an explosion.The exlosion was after the iceberg hit the explosion was at the back
The stern of titanic imploded after it sank because of pressure difference unlike the front of the ship because it had Time to flood every where after the break up the stern was compromised and sinking rapidly not every room had time to flood which caused air pockets and 30 seconds after the stern went underwater it imploded in on itself because of pressure differences! There was no second explotion on the ship!
@@leothelion4021titanic split because of a small explosion some survivors said they heard an explosion before the ship break in two
It did but ok. The coal fire didn’t have much of an effect on speeding up the sinking itself and there’s an argument that it saved many more lives
@@gio160 I’d rather not argue over something like this, so agree to disagree
The Californian's crew were asleep and stuck anyway. They had warned Titanic all day about icebergs and that's why the ship was docked for the night and they encouraged Captain Smith and First Officer Murdoch to do the same. Had they woken up immediately, it would have taken them far too long to start the ship up and the fact that entire ice fields seperated them from Titanic. The mirage effect that was at play made the ships seem closer to each other than they actually were. One or two lifeboats began to frantically paddle to the ship to get their attention and they couldn't find the ship. It seemed a mile or so away and yet it was much further out. The crew didn't even find out about the sinking until the following morning and it costed that Captain his job. The sinking of Titanic was part arrogance and part ignorance. The ignorance part was no one thought an iceberg could sink a ship like Titanic cause she was magnificently built. The arrogance part was that they refused to take the warnings and stop for the night. The ship wasn't going for speed records, they just didn't want to delay passengers, which they should have.
Yea they were stuck in an icefield if they tried to rescue the Titanic, the Californian would have probably sank
I should say that the Titanic Crew and staff should be guilty for this because, earlier when The Californian ship warned the Titanic, they just ignored it .
Reasonable 😇😅😅😇😂😂😂
its not really the wireless operator’s fault because he was overworking and sickly tired
@@menofcatholicism Meh. They were working on the side to make extra money. First class folks paid them extra for them to send messages asap. So the crew’s greed also got in the way. They should be blamed as well.
@@usforsarah you are kind of right, but companies added them for profits so you can't blame them for that as well
Yeah, the Titanic itself is guilty.
It was a moonless night, not hiding behind the clouds.
Bright side is so much obsessed with the Titanic lol
Yeah he’s also obsessed with the megalodon and Bermuda Triangle lol
The rush to get the ship out to sea,the missed communication from the Titanic to the Californian and visa versa were all factors in the sinking,the Captain of the Californian was not negligent at all
What 'rush to get the ship out to sea?'
Titanic could've lasted longer or survived if she slowed down after the iceberg warning.
Titanic still fascinates us especailly bright side because he post many titanic videos😄
Dont watch bright side they get many inaccuracies watch historic travels and ocean liner designs they tell facts unlike bright side that tells lies

The truth is. It's everyone's fault. But mother nature was truly to blame
Like lack of lifeboats that could have saved more passengers
@@99mrpogi titanic had much more lifeboats than recommended
@@munastronaut8147 well at most, they could only carry about 2/3 of the passengers at most
@@99mrpogi Honestly, probably not. The ship sank before all of the 20 boats she did have could be launched, and any extras would have been more crumbling debris during the ship's violent breakup. Even if some boats did survive, passengers would have been scrambling to climb them until the cold prevented them from moving or the boat got swamped.
@@SaraRoseVaughan no every single lifeboat DID get off the ship
There were coloured rocket that Titanic set off that night.. not just white.
There’s footage of the coloured rockets on the sea bed.
'Footage of the coloured rockets on the sea bed?' No, there isn't.
@@dovetonsturdee7033
Yes there is. !
It’s near the wreckage.
It’s in one of the many documentaries James Cameron did for National Geographic.
They were shocked to find that the rockets were coloured.
There is footage of this, clearly you haven’t watched the many many documentaries of the wreckage on the sea bed or you would know this.
@@felixculpa9303 You have misunderstood me. A box of rockets was found, but there was nothing definitively to indicate their colours. Witnesses such as Crawford, Boxall, Pitman, Bright, Symons, Rowe, & Lightoller all referred to rockets being fired, or indeed firing them themselves, but none described any specific colours.
@@dovetonsturdee7033
Yes there was.. please go find the footage.

There was multiple colours not just red or white.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 You can see the colours on the tops of the rockets. Californian's officers said the rockets were a variety of colours, which added to their confusion.

There was no clouds whatsoever. It was moonless, yes. The sky was filled with stars.
i didn’t know this channel would upload everyday
Coloured rockets were found on ship's wreck and some survivors claimed that they saw coloured rockets used together with the white ones so... the mistery is bigger than we 🤔🤔🤔
Standardised colour of rockets weren’t standardised until much later (several decades if I’m not mistaken).
@@MD-zr1wy If you read carefully... you'll see that didn't wrote "standard" or "standardized".
@@nitrospitfire6345 sorry if I misunderstood your comment. but my point was just that around those years, it didn’t matter which colour of flare was launched, only the intervals of these launches. I believe distress signals used a time interval of 1 minute.

In fact. HE IS the Pringles guy
Well she didn’t carry red flares and enough lifeboats.. moral : if you don’t help yourselves, no one else can.. 😩
The number of life post was fine at the time, but locked binoculars and red rockets not on board is a no no
Let's save y'all 9:48 and just say they didn't save it so that's that
Ships never carried red flares, only white ones. Yet another bright side inaccuracy.
In Titanic's case, she apparently carried 36 Board of Trade White Socket Signals with explosive heads.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 yep, which were white.
8:25 the samson looked nothing like that
When the wreck of the Titanic was discovered in 1985 she was found to be 12 miles away from her stated position. This puts the Californian at over 20 miles away. Even if she was alerted, by the time she made steam and got under way she couldn't have made the rescue in time. The other glaring ommision here is the fact that Titanic was foolishly sailed into the North Atantic icebelt. All ships stopped at the icebelt at night, many ship owners would dismiss a Capt. who disobeyed and risked his ship and the lives of crew and passengers. There are only two people responsible, Islay the Chairman of the White Star line who wanted Titanic to dock in New York in record time, thus claiming the Blue Riband and publicity, and Smith the Capt. who threw caution to the wind and cost the lives of so many. All in all this video is inaccurate, misconstrues accepted versions of particular events, does a disservice to the reputations of many, doesn't hold the real perpetrators to account, and is poorly done

Wow Bright Side says that there are a lot of reasons why the Titanic sank AND 1500 peopel died. An officer kicked out of the ship taking the keys to the binoculars with him, the ship going at top speed, shortage of lifeboats, forgetting red fireworks, a Californian ship ignoring the sinking (BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T KNOW), etc.
Exactly they already turned off the radio and went to bed but already give the titanic like two ice warnings too

alll i have to say is those ships are super unrealistic pictures , the californian is the carpathia , the carpathia is the queen elizabeth , the titanic is normal tho
Fun fact :the Olympic ship was the famous Titanic but sadly they simply switched the too up, so the Olympic ship was actually the famous Titanic….(if you don’t understand version): so basically before the movie titanic the ocean liner switched the names so Olympic was actually the titanic all along so the titanic was Olympic 😢😢😢
PLEASE NOTICE!!!
⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️(ALL THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT MADE BY ME ALSO YOU CAN LOOK IT UP IF IM WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME!!!!!!)
Why the thumbnail you make the titanic sink stern first?
The Captain & a wireless guy SAW the ship that was 10 miles away, BUT NEVER said to crew to ROW towards them.
Have you thought to ask how long it would take for a group of untrained people to row a lifeboat ten miles or so, assuming they even knew the direction in which to row?
the captain was never on deck he was in the Chart room
Fun but sad fact : the Olympic could of saved titanic but the white star line said it'd be traumatic to people if they were asked to board a twin like boat
Bruh, it couldn’t. Olympic was in New York, 3 days away.
Olympic was around 500 miles off. They would not have reached titanic. Keep in mind carpathia took 4 hours to get to the titanic survivors from a little over 50 miles while going above their top speed. I doubt many passengers would care about weather or not their savior was titanic solder sister if it meant they lived.
@@dalekexterminae Olympic wasn’t in New York, she was about 505 miles east of Titanic when she picked up her distress call.
@@kingdynal7735 Remember, it also took an additional 4 and a half hours for the Carpathia to find and pick up every one of the survivors after just finding the first lifeboat and the Olympic was about 110 miles away from the Titanic sinking scene when she got turned down as all lifeboats had been accounted for. The Olympic probably would’ve rescued some of the Titanic survivors if it weren’t Harold Cottam staying up later than usual and just wearing his headphones while on no official duty at all, just in the process of getting undressed for bed before shutting the room down when he just accidentally heard the Titanic’s distress call.
Fun fact: Californian Could've save the titanic but the Californian didn't have the radio on
The operator was actually asleep, as there were no laws that the radio had to staffed 24 hours a day.
Bruce ismay was to blame, having a terrible influence over the captain on the voyage, and ismay had the lifeboats reduced from 48 to 16 plus 4 collapsible ones, (one of those he ended up in) in ismays own words,
"people want to look at views of the ocean, not lifeboats" well I bet the view wasn't pleasant when she was sinking... But the number of lifeboats conformed to the law of the time, nevertheless, he personally reduced the numbers by 28, so ultimately he is responsible.
In no way was 1912 was one of the worst tragedies in the world. It doesnt even come close. Its not even in the top 100
Well if you really think about it the SS California could have saved more lives than Carpathia because it was the closest ship and if it was responded quicker to the distress flares they could have saved more lives
Californian was stopped due to ice. It would have taken a lot of time to put the boilers back online. So no, she really couldn't have done anything.
And if Captain Smith had taken the ice warnings to heart the Titanic would not have sunk at all
@@highlander723 the Titanic's radio operator did not tried to understand the warning and cutted the line off.
@thecaringadolfhitler9186 You are incorrect. The reason the Titanic was going full speed is because the crew thought they could see for miles in all directions. However, that was due to some optical illusions that night. One of them being the cold water mirage. Also, it was very dark, and the visibility was actually very low. They didn't realize until it was too late. But from the crew's perspective, it was a clear night with miles of visibility. The Titanic's captain wasn't known as the "millionaire's captain" for nothing. He was indeed a smart man. You can't blame him. He thought that he could see for miles. Mainly because of the cold water mirage that night.
Lifeboats on the titanic could’ve fitted 40-70 people but they only put 12 on each lifeboat
Numbers varied, but the lowest was 12 with lifeboat No 1.
And they'd cancelled a boat drill the day before.
Californian can't save Titanic either way because the distance at this point is only 20 miles. Top speed of Californian is only a maximum of 12 knots. It takes about 2:50 hours to reach the scene of the accident. That would be Titanic gone.
My guy thats the carpathia
There was NO moon that night, and no clouds. This is well documented. Very shoddy story telling.
So for what I have seen so far, everything that could have gone wrong in the titanic, went horribly wrong that night.
Yep
It's something known as the swiss cheese model of human error. When all the errors align, you have a disaster
In the thumbnail its sinking backwards
SS Mount Temple was 50 miles away. It responded, but it was too slow because it was so slow and old. The ship was forgotten
also they were in area also filled with icebergs, the carpathia from the south had less obstacles to face
Hey I’m 18 I watch you when I was 8 and I still watch you your amazing
Doubt, because this guys channel was created in 2017, only about 5 years ago, and considering you are 18, and you started when you were 8. You’d only be 13.
Plus, this video has a lot of facts incorrect.
The wireless operator told the operator on the California not to keep sending the warnings as he was busy making money for personal communications of the rich. That's why the California turned off the radio.
No, the Californian’s wireless operator turned off his equipment and went to bed because he had finished his shift.
Do your research before posting these factually inaccurate videos.
The Carpathia was not going at full speed. They were going *past* their full speed. To the point where the engine was *permanently* broken. This was rumored to be one of the leading reasons of Carpathia's Sinking
I wasn't aware of the rocket situation. I have reformed my opinion.
At 00:45 you mention the moon hiding behind clouds and bad visibility, but iirc it was a clear sky the night the titanic sank, and there was no moon. How come?
Because it was actually something called a cold water mirage, watch Historic Travels' video explaining what it is and u'll understand.

Bright Side and the never-ending story of getting Titanic facts wrong
The bright side channel is one of the best ones all over the world he gives a lot of information in fun
Yeah, misinformation. These videos are nothing but clickbait.
Couldn’t even get the side of the ship that was out of the water right
The ship that was near by was a The Samson, a Norwegian sealing ship. The ships crew were illegally fishing. The RMS Californian was not near the titanic.
There were a few ships in the area. Californian was one of them.
wat?
There is also a suggestion that the ship spotted from Titanic was not Californian at all, but the Canadian Pacific cargo liner Mount Temple. She was similar in appearance and size to Californian, and a number of passengers and crew members made claims of this nature to Canadian newspapers.
However, what historical evidence exists suggests that Mount Temple was about 60 miles away. The claims about Mount Temple were made by the journalist Senan Moloney, who has something of a track record where Titanic is concerned, and some would consider to be less than reliable, especially when he was promoting his book.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 Yeah, it was Californian. Mount Temple was too far away to help. Californian's crew said they saw rockets and a big steamer way off in the distance.
This has been disproven. The Samson was in Iceland on April 6, 1912 and was back in Iceland on April 20, 1912. If she was anywhere near the Titanic on April 14/15th she would have had to make a 3,000 mile round trip in fourteen days. This is impossible since her top speed was six knots.
have you guys seen historic travels correct all of this
Titanic makers are guilty because they didn’t followed any of safety rules like not having enough life saving boats, forgot to bring red colour crackers, not properly responding to the radio signals, what else we gone except from that ship 🚢

It just seems that the fault lies with the Titanic crew. First they forgot to have red flares. Then they not only ignore the warnings of California ship but also gets them off the radio communication. It just seems one mistake after the other from Titanic crew
Agree, the captain did not slow down despite the iceberg hazard, did not dubbled the outlook. There is no other to blame then the captain of TITANIC.
Titanic carried 36 state of the art explosive flares. Californian simply reported that she had stopped for the night due to sheet ice. Californian only had one wireless operator, and her wireless shut down when his shift ended.
do you know what morse slang is?
I remember a documentary that the titanic was rushed. But also in the star bright sky, there was no way for the ships to signal each other clearly with signal lights.
