[Narrator] For over a century,
the tragic fate of Titanic has

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,240
been a global obsession.

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,080
[reporter] Scientists
have found wreckage of the

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,800
S.S. Titanic.

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,360
[Narrator] A story so compelling
that people risk their lives,

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,360
spending
millions of dollars

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,760
just to get a
glimpse of the wreck.

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,000
This investigation will
allow us to see Titanic in

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,000
a whole new way.

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
-The remarkable
new images of the Titanic,

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,440
as you've never seen it before.

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,640
-The largest underwater
scanning project in history.

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,240
It's incredible to
see it like this.

38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
[Narrator] Over
700,000 scanned images,

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,440
16 terabytes of data,

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,600
and almost two years of
research and processing,

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,920
have produced a full-sized
digital replica of the ship,

42
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,200
a virtual twin of Titanic.

43
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,800
-Wow.

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,440
This is a view I've
never had before.

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,200
[Narrator] A replica
so detailed...

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,400
-See the numbers?

47
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,440
-It's incredible when
you see the full scale.

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,000
[Narrator] ...It will offer
new insights into the sinking.

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,600
-Looking at it in this scale,
you would think the ship had

50
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,240
been struck by some
enormous missile.

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,000
[Narrator] And new
evidence of the final moments

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,360
of those on board.

53
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,200
-They were trying to
launch one last lifeboat.

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,600
[♪ theme music playing]

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,280
[reporter] When she set
sail from Southampton,

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,200
England in the spring of 1912,

57
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,160
she was hailed as
the most luxurious steamship

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,200
in the world.

59
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,480
And on this her maiden voyage,

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,800
she was unsurpassed
and unsinkable.

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Her name, of course,
the Titanic.

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,720
-On tenth of April 1912,

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,600
Titanic begins her maiden
voyage from Southampton

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,640
to New York.

65
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,480
She's billed as the greatest
most luxurious ship of her day.

66
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,360
[Narrator] It is the golden
age of the ocean liner.

67
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,400
Two companies,

68
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,600
White Star Line
and Cunard,

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920
vie for supremacy on the
route across the Atlantic.

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Cunard ships were
typically faster.

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,080
But White Star had the
edge when it came to luxury.

72
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,520
And the gigantic Titanic
was the jewel in their crown.

73
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,960
[Yasmin Khan] On board,
there are aristocrats.

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,520
There are business magnates,
but there's also immigrants who

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,880
are going to the Americas
to make a new life.

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,360
[Narrator] In just
seven days’ time,

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,760
Titanic should be steaming
triumphantly into New York.

78
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,760
The world's press,
waiting to greet her.

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Instead, she'll be at the
bottom of the Atlantic,

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,160
and almost 1,500
people will be dead.

81
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,640
A century on, many
details about the sinking are

82
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,240
still debated.

83
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,600
[Yasmin Khan] Titanic's never
given up her secrets easily,

84
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,560
and for 70 years, nobody
even knew where she was.

85
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:48,480
And then in 1985,
Bob Ballard found the wreck.

86
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,240
[reporter] Today, the
French and the American men,

87
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,360
who found the
Titanic will celebrate.

88
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,240
[Narrator] Ballard had found
the greatest of all lost ships,

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320
and scientists clamored to
study the wreck.

90
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,600
But 2.5 miles down,
under atmospheric pressure,

91
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,680
almost 400 times greater
than at sea level,

92
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,600
conditions make it hard to
see more than fragments of

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,280
the ship at a time.

94
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,560
[crew] We're still
searching for the stern.

95
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,400
We can't find it.

96
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000
[Yasmin Khan] Many
expeditions have been down

97
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,760
to the wreck over
the past 40 years.

98
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,360
But it's pitch black down there.

99
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,360
So, it's not being possible
to see the whole ship.

100
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,880
Viewing it has been like shining
a flashlight in the dark,

101
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:41,800
until now.

102
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,280
[captain] Your depth is
eight-zero-five meters,

103
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,400
heading three-zero-zero.

104
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,720
[Narrator] After a 2-and-
a-half-hour descent to

105
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,080
the ocean floor,

106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,360
two unmanned subs named,
Romeo and Juliet,

107
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,600
get to work.

108
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,440
While Romeo films
high-resolution footage

109
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,280
of the ship and sea floor.

110
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,480
[captain] The stronger
that laser line gets,

111
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,360
it starts to get more defined.

112
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,000
[crew] Roger that.
Moving to next position.

113
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000
[Narrator] Equipped with
lasers recording millions of

114
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,160
measurements, Juliet captures
every inch of the wreck.

115
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,120
[captain] Oh, yeah,
that's looking nice right there.

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,800
You must be really close now.

117
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,480
-I have every expectation
that we're going to see the most

118
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,280
accurate portrayal of the wreck
site that's ever been offered.

119
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,240
[captain] Park's
at the ladder Tom,

120
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,480
are you ready?

121
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,560
[Narrator] World-renowned
expert, Parks Stevenson,

122
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,120
has been on multiple
dives to Titanic.

123
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,440
[captain] Thrusters, we are
beginning to pump them now.

124
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,080
[Narrator] He hopes the
scan will offer insights into

125
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,040
some of the questions
which still surround the wreck.

126
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,640
[captain] Hatch is secure.

127
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,440
[Parks Stephenson] I'm
intrigued by mysteries.

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520
People thought that
the ship could not sink.

129
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:05,640
So how did she end up
like this on the ocean floor?

130
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,160
[captain] Coming up
on the wreck site.

131
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,920
[Parks Stephenson] What
actually happened that night?

132
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,240
I often view the shipwreck
as the last surviving witness

133
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,560
to the disaster.

134
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,440
The way she's torn apart,

135
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,840
the way the pieces of
her are bent or torn,

136
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,160
these all tell a story, and so,

137
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,400
it's vital that we
listen to the stories that the

138
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,960
wreck can tell.

139
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,600
[Narrator] Footage from
the Romeo sub quickly offers

140
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,600
glimpses of these stories.

141
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Snapshots of humanity among
the scattered wreckage.

142
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,360
Hundreds of wine bottles.

143
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,680
A dress.

144
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,360
A doll's head.

145
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,680
All are a stark reminder.

146
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Titanic isn't just an
object of fascination.

147
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,000
She's a graveyard.

148
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,240
One which the scan
will allow us to study from

149
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,120
a respectful distance.

150
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,920
After three weeks at sea,
scanning 24 hours a day,

151
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,440
the work of the
expedition team is complete.

152
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,520
-Hi five. Yeah.

153
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,000
-Job done, sailing home.

154
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,000
[Narrator] But it will take
over a year to research and

155
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,240
piece together the enormous
amount of data gathered.

156
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,200
[Parks Stephenson] This
operation has a lot of promise.

157
00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:01,520
Having a tool of a virtual
twin of the Titanic wreck,

158
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,760
that's huge.

159
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,400
[Narrator] Awaiting
access to the digital twin,

160
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,280
Parks has assembled a team to
help him examine it in detail.

161
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,280
[Parks Stephenson] This
will give you just basically the

162
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,560
context of the ship itself.

163
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,960
[Narrator] Master Mariner,
Captain Chris Hearn,

164
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,960
wants to study the twin
from a sailor's point of view.

165
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,160
[Chris Hearn] As
somebody who has crossed

166
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,640
the Atlantic and been in ice,

167
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,080
a ship is very much
about its crew.

168
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,280
What was their experience
when the ship was sinking?

169
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,120
If you had the
whole wreck site,

170
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,360
what could you do with that?

171
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,480
-We can totally
recreate that night.

172
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,400
[Narrator] Metallurgist,
Doctor Jennifer Hooper,

173
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,160
has spent years in the
lab studying small fragments

174
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,320
of the wreck.

175
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,720
[Jennifer Hooper] Going
from examining the materials

176
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,520
in a laboratory to feeling
like I'm on the sea floor,

177
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,520
staring at this wreck site
is something I never

178
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,240
thought I would
see in my lifetime.

179
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,160
-Hopefully, we're going
to get the answers

180
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,600
to some of these
questions that have been

181
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:18,560
bugging me for decades.

182
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,600
[Narrator] After almost
two years of research and

183
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:26,320
processing, over 700,000
scan images have been

184
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,320
painstakingly pieced together.

185
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,480
At a gigantic sound stage,
colossal LED panels will

186
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,960
project the image of the
twin at up to full scale,

187
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,000
bringing the investigators
face to face with the severed

188
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,240
wreckage of Titanic.

189
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:55,040

[underwater metal groaning]

193
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,840
[Chris Hearn]
Well, look at that.

194
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,200
I can tell you, I'm in the
ship simulation business,

195
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,960
and I've never seen
anything like that.

196
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,040
[Parks Stephenson] I've actually
been here in a submersible,

197
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,440
but I only see just a
little bit out my viewport.

198
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,160
It's just so immense.

199
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,760
When you are in a submersible,

200
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,920
you can see maybe only a
few meters in front of you.

201
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,240
But with the digital twin, you
can see the entire wreck site.

202
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,840
Now, I have a better view
of Titanic than I ever did

203
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,160
at the Titanic.

204
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,480
-We're around 12,000 feet
at the bottom of the ocean.

205
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Looking up at the Titanic.

206
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,680
-Studying this under
microscope doesn't really

207
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,600
prepare you for this.

208
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Seeing the Titanic
wreck site in full scale,

209
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,720
I finally understood how
small I am in comparison to

210
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,120
everything that I'm looking at.

211
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,320
I was able to truly experience
the sense of destruction.

212
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,040
[Parks Stephenson] This is
where she ripped in two.

213
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:11,600
[Narrator] The digital
twin not only allows the team

214
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,720
to explore the ship itself,

215
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,520
but the destruction caused
by the crash that sank her.

216
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,080
[Chris Hearn] I wasn't really
prepared for the level of

217
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,120
damage that the
scan showed us.

218
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,080
It's catastrophic in its scale.

219
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,320
That really struck me.

220
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,000
[Narrator] We've known
since her discovery that the

221
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,800
ship lies in two parts.

222
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,760
But the wreck site
is so massive,

223
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,280
no one has ever seen it
all at once, until now.

224
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,240
The stern sits a third
of a mile from the bow.

225
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,240
[♪ ominous music playing]

226

[underwater metal groaning]

227
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,560
[Parks Stephenson] Okay, now,
this is something you don't

228
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,160
normally see because it's
very dangerous underneath the

229
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,160
overhanging stern here.

230
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,520
Trying to get in here
with a submersible,

231
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,520
it's not very often done.

232
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,000
[Narrator] The twin allows
the experts to study near

233
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,240
inaccessible parts of the ship.

234
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,280
[Parks Stephenson] Here's a
starboard propeller over here.

235
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,400
[Narrator] Taking in features
which are almost impossible to

236
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,040
see on a manned
mission to the site.

237
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,680
[Parks Stephenson] Ah,
you see that right there?

238
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,520
The numbers.

239
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,960
That's 401, that's
Titanic's hull number.

240
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,920
[Jennifer Hooper] Oh, wow.
It's in pristine condition.

241
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,680
[Parks Stephenson] The best.

242
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,560
[Narrator] From the tiniest
details to its colossal scale,

243
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,640
the scan offers an entirely
new perspective on Titanic.

244
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,560
And the experts have only
just begun to scratch the

245
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,120
surface of what the
twin can tell them.

246
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,480
[Parks Stephenson] I am really,

247
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,600
really excited to
see what the rest of this

248
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,600
is going to look like.

249
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,000
To have the wreck site
at my command to see what

250
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,560
happened to the ship.

251
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,160
Wow.

252
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,480
The possibilities are endless.

[Yasmin Khan] The disaster
of 14th, April 1912

00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,000
happens on a cold,
clear, starry night,

257
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,400
four days into
Titanic's maiden voyage.

258
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Jack Phillips, a
wireless operator,

259
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,080
receives a message
that there is pack ice and

260
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,800
icebergs up ahead.

261
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,000
In first class, Captain Smith
is with Bruce Ismay,

262
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,800
chairman of the
White Star Line.

263
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,200
While up on the bridge,

264
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,720
First Officer Murdoch
is keeping watch.

265
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,760
At 11:39 p.m.,
three bells ring out.

266
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,560
[bell ringing]

267
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,640
And that's the warning
of an obstacle up ahead.

268
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,360
First Officer Murdoch rams
the engine ship's

269
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,160
telegraph to stop,

270
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,320
sending a signal
to cut the power.

271
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,320
He then demands that Titanic
turn harder starboard,

272
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,200
hoping to steer
the ship to safety.

273
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,320
And seconds later, the
Titanic hits the iceberg.

274
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,520
[thud]

275
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,080
Many on board felt nothing.

276
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,360
Even Frederick Fleet,
who sounded that alarm from

277
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,640
the crow's nest, said it
felt like a close shave.

278
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,200
[Narrator] And yet this
glancing blow sank a ship

279
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,200
thought to be unsinkable.

280
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:12,120
The experts were hoping
that the twin can show us how.

281
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,040
[Jennifer Hooper]
With the scan,

282
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:21,120
what is exciting is
that we actually do have our

283
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,080
first visible ice damage.

284
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,040
So, take a look up
here at this porthole.

285
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,120
This porthole was
smashed by the ice.

286
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,560
First-class passenger,
Margaret Swift,

287
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,000
saw the ice that had come
through that porthole.

288
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,040
That tells us that the
iceberg was at least 30 feet

289
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,720
above water line.

290
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,880
So, the scan is telling us
the size of the iceberg.

291
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,320
It's definitively giving us
information that will help us

292
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,240
understand more about
the collision that night.

293
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,440
[Narrator] It's tantalizing new
evidence of the iceberg strike,

294
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,680
but Titanic's fatal wound
appears hidden from view.

295
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,640
When she sank,

296
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,560
the ship's bow hit the
seabed with such force

297
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,640
that nearly half of
it was buried in mud.

298
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Now the twin can
provide the experts with

299
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,520
a brand-new perspective.

300
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,440
[Parks Stephenson] Okay, I
have never seen this depicted

301
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,880
before, and certainly
not in this scale.

302
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,720
[Chris Hearn] What a
different view now.

303
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,760
[laughs]

304
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,680
[Parks Stephenson] You see
how much of the bow has dug

305
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,880
into the ocean bottom?

306
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,000
Can you imagine the force
needed to propel that much of

307
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,480
the ship into the ocean bottom?

308
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,040
[Jennifer Hooper] I mean, the
iceberg damage should be here,

309
00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:59,480
but it's not.

310
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,360
We can't see it because
it's under the sea floor.

311
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,120
-No, it's at least 20-25 feet
below the mud line.

312
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,400
[Narrator] Although evidence
of the impact appears lost

313
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,040
to the ocean floor,

314
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,560
the experts think that the twin
could still provide answers.

315
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,720
To decode the clues
offered by the wreckage,

316
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,840
the investigation turns
to Titanic's birthplace.

[ships horn]

318
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Taking over two years to build,

319
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,400
Titanic was designed
and constructed here...

320
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,440
...at Harland & Wolff in
Northern Ireland,

321
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,280
on the shores of Belfast Lough,

322
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,640
a company at the
forefront of shipbuilding,

323
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,800
even today.

324
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,600
Built in this dock, her
blueprints were drawn up by

325
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,800
skilled draftsmen next door.

326
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:10,800
[Yasmin Khan] Titanic was the
most technologically advanced

327
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,400
ship of the age.

328
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,800
These original blueprints
show she was divided into 16

329
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,840
watertight compartments.

330
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,520
These were designed to collect
floodwater in a small area.

331
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,680
What's more, Titanic
would stay afloat,

332
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,240
even if up to four
of these flooded.

333
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,280
This was what cemented
her reputation as

334
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,480
the unsinkable ship.

335
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,160
[Narrator] After the tragedy,

336
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240
Harland & Wolff's
naval architect, Edward Wilding,

337
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,040
was called on
to explain how the

338
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,520
ship's fail-safes were so
catastrophically overwhelmed.

339
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,160
His starting point was that
more than four compartments

340
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,040
must have been damaged
by the iceberg,

341
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,160
the weight of the
floodwater pulling the ship

342
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,080
below the surface.

343
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,640
-Wilding set
about calculating the impact of

344
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,400
the iceberg and concluded
that there had been a series of

345
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,520
puncture holes along the hull on
an area of about 12 square feet.

346
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,400
Wilding based his findings on
the testimony of surviving crew

347
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,520
and passengers and on
his own detailed knowledge

348
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,400
of the ship's design.

349
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,160
But even after the
wreck was discovered,

350
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,400
testing his theory
was impossible.

351
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,360
The evidence buried
below the mud line.

352
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,240
[Narrator] But now, the
investigation has brought

353
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,480
together experts from around
the world to put Wilding's

354
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,360
findings to the test.

355
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,080
At University College London,

356
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,120
renowned naval architect
Professor Jeom-Kee Paik

357
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,880
is joined by fellow specialists,
Doctor Simon Benson,

358
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,400
and Doctor Stephen Payne,

359
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,080
designer of the cruise liner,
Queen Mary II.

360
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,720
[Dr. Stephen Payne] This is
the first time we can actually

361
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,400
use a computer simulation
to test Wilding's hypothesis.

362
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,120
[Narrator] Based on information
from Titanic's blueprints,

363
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,440
combined with their
estimated speed of 22 knots,

364
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,000
the team uses cutting-edge
technology to simulate the

365
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,440
iceberg strike.

366
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,120
-Wow, here it goes.

367
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,560
We can see the
ship glancing blow,

368
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,640
and it's actually
turning to starboard,

369
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,800
as it comes past.

370
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Ah, yeah, interesting.

371
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,480
We can see the ice
actually splintering off.

372
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,600
We actually now find out
from these simulations that

373
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,280
the time it took for
the Titanic to collide

374
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:47,440
with the iceberg,

375
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,520
the glancing blow
was 6.3 seconds.

376
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,840
[Narrator] 6.3 seconds.
A mere moment.

377
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,520
Yet what could
have been a fleeting

378
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,120
scrape proved catastrophic.

379
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040
And the simulation can now
reveal the full extent of the

380
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:06,760
damage for the very first time.

381
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,600
-Well, this for me
is where it gets really

382
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,440
interesting because here,

383
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,880
we really see the
power of the simulation.

384
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,520
So, here's the collision.

385
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,600
And it very quickly
spreads quite a thin line

386
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,200
of gash, isn't it?

387
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,480
But we can see the
ruptures occurring.

388
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,160
[Dr. Simon Benson]
Wilding predicted that the

389
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,520
total area of the holes
would be about 12 square feet.

390
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,680
We are, with this
new prediction,

391
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,640
looking at something
in the order of 18.

392
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,160
-The Wilding
estimation is incredible.

393
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,160
[Narrator] The figures
may differ slightly,

394
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,520
but Wilding was right.

395
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,400
The scale of the damage
was minimal compared to the

396
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,520
size of the ship overall.

397
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,640
But crucially, it wasn't
confined to one area.

398
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,000
[Chris Hearn] Wow.

399
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,720
[Parks Stephenson] So,
this is the damage.

400
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,760
-We're seeing a simulation
of the iceberg damage

401
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,800
for the very first time.

402
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,240
[Narrator] The digital
twin allows the experts to

403
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,680
see the impact pattern
precisely mapped out.

404
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,040
[Jennifer Hooper] The
damage begins, the front,

405
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,160
and it crosses over
the compartments,

406
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:31,600
all the way to boiler
room number six.

407
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:36,840
And then it crosses into
boiler room number five.

408
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,800
You have one small section
in boiler room number five,

409
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:48,600
and another very small section
of damage in the forepeak.

410
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,920
[Parks Stephenson] How small?

411
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000
-That last bit is only the
size of two pieces of paper.

412
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,000
That's six compartments
along the starboard side and

413
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:06,200
the ship was only designed
for four compartments to flood.

414
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,200
So you've got small
margins on one end or the

415
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,040
other that sank this ship.

416
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,600
[Chris Hearn] So,
two small holes?

417
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,080
-That's what the
simulation shows us.

418
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,040
[Narrator] The areas that made
all the difference are tiny.

419
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,440
Small holes either side of the
four badly damaged compartments.

420
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,160
Without them,
Titanic might not have sunk.

421
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,160
-We all imagine that
it was a giant hole--

422
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,200
-Yeah.

423
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,680
-That sank such
a massive ship.

424
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,080
In reality, it was a very
small amount of damage over

425
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,640
a long distance and fractions
of a second that ended up

426
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,360
sinking the ship.

427
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,800
[Parks Stephenson] So, if true,

428
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,760
it suggests an irony that in
turning to avoid the iceberg,

429
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,080
the crew had created an
area of damage lengthy enough

430
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,520
to open up too many
compartments to the sea

431
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,000
and sink the ship.

432
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,840
[Narrator] The irony
doesn't stop there.

433
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,720
At the British inquiry
into the sinking, Wilding,

434
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,280
one of the men who
knew Titanic best,

435
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,560
predicted that had the
crew not turned the ship

436
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,520
to try and avoid the iceberg,

437
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,200
instead, hitting it head-on,

438
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,280
she would have
stayed afloat.

439
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:44,760
The simulation will now
put that theory to the test.

440
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:47,200
-Because this has
never been done before.

441
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,840
[Dr. Stephen Payne]
No, absolutely not.

442
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,400
Let's see it go.

443
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,080
Oh, wow.

444
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,560
Look at this crumpling
of that deck.

445
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,800
All the energy of
the Titanic is now going

446
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,280
into that collision.

447
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,600
Okay, so, can we
have the close-up?

448
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,480
So we're really gonna see
the crumple zone as that wow.

449
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,080
All that steel
mashing into the ice.

450
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,760
[Dr. Simon Benson]
Just imagine the noise that

451
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,400
there would have been.

452
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,960
[Dr. Stephen Payne]
Wilding predicted that

453
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,560
with this collision,
Titanic would survive.

454
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,360
We look at the blueprint.

455
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,280
We see, well, where
are we going to?

456
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:43,360
We've lost the peak tank,
cargo tanks, and we've ended.

457
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,600
-So it's just
forwarded the bridge.

458
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,680
-Just forwarded the bridge.

459
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,520
So we've actually only lost
what, 4 compartments?

460
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,720
-4 compartments.
-So.

461
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,080
-She would have stayed afloat.

462
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,640
-It would have.

463
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,520
[Jennifer Hooper] So,
based on the simulation,

464
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,400
it would not have sunk.

465
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,640
[Chris Hearn] Yeah.

466
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,120
[Narrator] The front-on
simulation gives us a fleeting

467
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,360
glimpse of a different
outcome for the tragic ship.

468
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,720
What it doesn't provide
is a sailor's perspective.

469
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,680
-Think about the crew.

470
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,120
You don't steer directly
into an iceberg.

471
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,600
I doubt very highly
anybody would have done it.

472
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,400
A lot of the crew had
their bunks forward.

473
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,760
And so, if Murdoch making
that kind of an action to

474
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,160
take the iceberg
right on the bow,

475
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,400
he would have likely
killed everybody that was

476
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,160
in those forward spaces

477
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,480
But the officer's
maneuver to try and

478
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,800
turn away from the iceberg,

479
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,480
as hard as it is to say,

480
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,560
essentially seal
the Titanic's fate.

481
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,400
[Narrator] With the
ship now taking on water,

482
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,760
the lives of over 2000
people hang in the balance.

483
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,400
The decisions made
by Titanic's crew,

484
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,280
are about to become
more crucial by the minute.

485
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,080
[♪ ominous music playing]

486
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,480
[rushing water]

487
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,920
[Narrator] Within 20 minutes
of the iceberg strike,

488
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,720
Captain Smith has had
multiple reports of flooding in

489
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,440
the ship's boiler rooms.

490
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,400
-Fireman, Fred Barrett,
was a witness to what happened.

491
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,040
He was working in
boiler room six.

492
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,160
When he gave his testimony
to the inquiry, he said,

493
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,320
"The bell rang.

494
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,920
He called out
"Shut all doors."

495
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,080
Then a large volume of
water came through the side

496
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,520
of the ship.

497
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,320
He ran from that section,

498
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,600
just as the watertight
doors came down.

499
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,400
The man responsible for
keeping the ship's boilers

500
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,000
alight was Chief Engineer
Joseph Bell.

501
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,440
He was in charge of 200
men who powered Titanic

502
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,000
24 hours a day.

503
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,600
[Narrator] The boiler
rooms ran over half the

504
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,440
length of the ship.

505
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,680
40 minutes after the collision,

506
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,080
number six was already lost,

507
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,480
and number five
had a small,

508
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,520
paper-sized breach.

509
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,160
[Yasmin Khan] Titanic
was taking on water fast.

510
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,560
Wilding estimated that
16,000 tons of it had now

511
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,880
entered the ship.

512
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,040
[Narrator] The damaged
compartments fill up.

513
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,240
The ship tilts forward,

514
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,600
water spilling from one
compartment to the next.

515
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,240
-Suddenly...

516
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,040
[rushing water]

517
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,720
...the water bursts into
boiler room five.

518
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,920
And Bell was heard to say,
"My God, we are lost."

519
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,200
[Narrator] Bell and his
men were forced back to

520
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,000
boiler room two,

521
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,040
the only one still capable
of providing power to the ship.

522
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,720
[Yasmin Khan] One hour, 40
after the iceberg strike,

523
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Chief Bell sent his stokers
up on deck to save themselves.

524
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,320
And all 35 engineering officers
stayed with him below deck.

525
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,880
[Chris Hearn] Ultimately, it
came down to a skeleton crew

526
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,040
in boiler room number two,

527
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,720
essentially of the
engineers themselves.

528
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,320
Everybody else
has been released.

529
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,760
[Narrator] It's clear to
Bell that Titanic is doomed.

530
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,800
He now had to pivot from
saving the ship to saving lives.

531
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,080
[Yasmin Khan] They were in
the middle of the Atlantic,

532
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,720
and it was pitch black.

533
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,960
If the power went off, they
would be in total darkness,

534
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,120
making it incredibly difficult
for people to get to the deck

535
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,560
and into lifeboats.

536
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,560
And if the Titanic's
wireless room went down,

537
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,560
the nearby ships couldn't be
alerted to stranded survivors.

538
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,400
[Narrator] In short,
without power,

539
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,160
the chances of those on
board surviving were slim.

540
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,440
The courage of Titanic's
engineers is a story that's

541
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,560
endured for over a century.

542
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,080
But now, the digital twin
allows the experts to actually

543
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,680
examine the place where
Bell and his men battled

544
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:19,720
on clearly visible,
where the ship tore apart.

545
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,960
[Jennifer Hooper] Okay, so
we're in Boiler room number two.

546
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,920
This is essentially the
last place where they kept

547
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,880
the fires going.

548
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,560
[Parks Stephenson]
This is what's left of the

549
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,360
heart of Titanic.

550
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,160
The steam that's being
generated in these boilers is

551
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,160
providing the power and
the light to the ship.

552
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,600
These engineers down here,

553
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,200
they couldn't see
what was going on outside.

554
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400
[Jennifer Hooper] The conditions
must have been terrible.

555
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,480
Brutally hot.

556
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,400
The steam.

557
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,680
-Real tests of leadership
often come under the

558
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,520
worst of circumstances.

559
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,000
I reflect on Bell's
efforts that night.

560
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,760
He was going to do everything
he could so that other people

561
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,080
may have a chance to live.

562
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,280
[Narrator] The digital twin
shows us not only the location

563
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,160
of Bell's last stand,

564
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,040
it also offers new evidence
of how he kept the power on,

565
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,000
even as the ship
began to sink.

566
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Nearly 2,300 feet
across the wreck site,

567
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:03,280
the experts have
spotted a clue.

568
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,600
[Parks Stephenson] Okay,
we're coming up on the

569
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,440
port side of the
stern back here.

570
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,160
There's the mainmast
that's collapsed and lying

571
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:13,040
over the edge.

572
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,760
So, let's rotate
this thing around.

573
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,760
And take a look at this.

574
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,200
I found this very interesting.

575
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,440
It's a steam valve.

576
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:28,560
It didn't come from here.

577
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,240
It landed on the wreck
after the stern had settled.

578
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,400
And the flap is seen in
the open position right now.

579
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,160
[Jennifer Hooper]
Why is that important?

580
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,600
[Chris Hearn] Well, this
is a line that was taking

581
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,360
the remaining steam
from the boiler rooms to

582
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,240
the emergency dynamos.

583
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,720
[Parks Stephenson] They
provided life to the ship,

584
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,080
the lighting, the heating,
running the pumps.

585
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,400
[Narrator] Titanic's
emergency dynamo was over

586
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,560
40 feet higher than
the main generator,

587
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,240
so it would take
longer to flood.

588
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,760
It was connected to
boiler room two through

589
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,280
an emergency pipe,

590
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,760
and the valve had to
be opened manually.

591
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,480
[Chris Hearn] You can see this
steam valve is clearly open,

592
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,600
which means steam was
continuously flowing through

593
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:26,000
to the emergency dynamos,

594
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,160
and this action to
keep this open saved

595
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,040
hundreds of lives.

596
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,400
[Narrator] Survivors
testified that over two hours

597
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,600
after striking the iceberg,

598
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,000
the ship's lights
were still on.

599
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,600
[Jennifer Hooper] So this
is proof that the survivors

600
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,080
who saw lights to
the very end, it's true.

601
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,520
-Yeah.

602
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,240
[Narrator] This steam valve
is frozen in its final act.

603
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:09,640
Responding to
Bell's orders.

604
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,080
Keeping the power
on and hope alive.

605
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,040
While Bell and his men
fight on, above them,

606
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,280
panic is starting to spread.

607
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,000
At the lifeboats,

608
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,760
the crew struggle
to keep order,

609
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,520
and senior officers
are faced with

610
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,000
life and death choices.

611
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,720
[Narrator] Until 11:39 P.M.

612
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,360
passengers had enjoyed a
peaceful evening and luxurious

613
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,600
surroundings and
were looking forward to

614
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,520
arriving in New York.

615
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,080
But nearly two hours
after Titanic hit the iceberg,

616
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,360
the situation for those on
board is deteriorating fast.

617
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,880
As water begins to
flood the corridors,

618
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,400
the passengers start
rushing to the boat deck.

619
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,040
[Yasmin Khan] By law in 1912,

620
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,680
ocean liners were only
required to have 16 lifeboats.

621
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,560
And in an emergency
would have been expected to

622
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,880
stay afloat long enough to
ferry people to a rescue ship.

623
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,360
So, Titanic only had enough
lifeboat spaces for about half

624
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,240
of those onboard.

625
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,360
[Narrator] The order is
to start loading women and

626
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,600
children into the boats.

627
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,200
In the chaos, most
of the lifeboats aren't

628
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,160
even launched full.

629
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,120
A tension quickly
turns to panic.

630
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,200
On the boat deck,

631
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,320
there are scenes of
both heroism and heartbreak.

632
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,280
[Yasmin Khan] Ida Strauss,
for instance,

633
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,040
wouldn't board a lifeboat
if she couldn't go with her

634
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,760
husband and said,

635
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,360
"We have lived together,
and we'll die together."

636
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,520
Rhoda Abbott, who was traveling
with her two teenage sons,

637
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,760
reached a lifeboat
being boarded.

638
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,520
But realizing that her
boys were considered too old

639
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,160
to go in a lifeboat,

640
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:53,160
stepped back and
remained with her children.

641
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,360
[Narrator] 17-year-old
first-class passenger

642
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,760
Jack Thayer, noted
who joined the boat after

643
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,520
Rhoda Abbott retreated.

644
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,600
-He recorded.

645
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,560
"There was some disturbance
in loading the last two

646
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,920
forward starboard boats.

647
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,040
A large crowd of
men was pressing to get

648
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,720
to the lifeboats.

649
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,400
No women were around
as far as I could see.

650
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,560
I saw Ismay,

651
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,160
who had been assisting in
the loading of the last boat,

652
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:21,760
push his way into it.

653
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,080
It was really every
man for himself."

654
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,720
Bruce Ismay was the chairman
of the White Star Line.

655
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,440
He went on to survive,

656
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,000
but his reputation
never recovered.

657
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,880
[Narrator] As passengers
become increasingly desperate,

658
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,120
the crew struggle
to keep order.

659
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,560
[Yasmin Khan]
Michel Navratil said,

660
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,280
"Honest people didn't
stand a chance as passengers

661
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,080
descended to deviance
in order to survive."

662
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,560
[Narrator] With the
sinking of Titanic making

663
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,040
headlines around the world,

664
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,960
the press was hungry
for heroes and villains.

665
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:12,600
But these were some of
the most chaotic moments

666
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,520
of the whole tragedy,

667
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,320
and conflicting versions
of events quickly emerged.

668
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,600
-The first officer,
William Murdoch,

669
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,640
was in charge of the
lifeboats on the starboard side

670
00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:27,600
of the ship, and
he was desperately trying

671
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,400
to lower them as the water
was gushing up to meet them.

672
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:35,440
Afterwards, as these
newspaper reports show,

673
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,200
he was accused of
having shot himself on the

674
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,720
bridge and
abandoning his post.

675
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,400
It says here "he was seen
whipping a gleaming bit of

676
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,040
metal from his pocket,

677
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,760
deliberately placing
it to his temple,

678
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,760
and pulling the trigger."

679
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,600
[distant gunshot]

680
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,680
[Narrator] The story
was headline news.

681
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,480
Murdoch was painted
as cowardly,

682
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,520
his reputation in tatters.

683
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,880
But even at the time,
his actions were disputed.

684
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,160
[Yasmin Khan]
Second Officer Lightoller,

685
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:14,520
the most senior officer
who survived the sinking,

686
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,480
refuted the
accusation of suicide,

687
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,600
writing that he'd seen
Murdoch swept overboard and

688
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,000
that he had died
a hero's death.

689
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:27,160
[Narrator] Now, Parkes
believes that the twin can

690
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:30,200
offer clues about
Murdoch's final moments.

691
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,920
[Parks Stephenson] Well, this is
the number one lifeboat station,

692
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,200
the forward davit.

693
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,840
[Chris Hearn] That was
Murdoch station, right?

694
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,720
[Parks Stephenson] Yes, it was.

695
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,160
And you'll notice here that
that davit is in the upright

696
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:54,760
or retracted position.

697
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,720
[Narrator] Davits are
cranes used to winch lifeboats

698
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,000
down to the water.

699
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,120
Before being wound back
to launch the next.

700
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,440
[Parks Stephenson] This
davit is in the up position,

701
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,360
meaning its crew is basically
trying to get a lifeboat

702
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,800
ready to be launched.

703
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,760
[Narrator] In an attempt to
save as many lives as possible,

704
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,280
Murdoch, unlike some officers,

705
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,440
had allowed men
to join the women and children

706
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,560
aboard his lifeboats.

707
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,320
[Parks Stephenson] Murdoch
has been watching the water

708
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,440
rise this whole time.

709
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:31,960
He knows he's out of time,

710
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,440
and he's working against
the rising water to try and

711
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,120
get one more boat
into the water.

712
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:42,560
And this coincides with
Second Officer Lightoller's

713
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,280
description, who was
standing on top of the

714
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,520
deckhouse back here.

715
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,200
[Narrator] At 2:15 a.m.,

716
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,200
minutes before the
ship went down,

717
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,600
Lightoller witnessed
Murdoch trying to launch

718
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,400
one final boat.

719
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,160
Suddenly, Titanic
dipped and the lifeboat

720
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:02,360
was washed overboard.

721
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,720
While survivors scrambled
onto it from the freezing water,

722
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,520
Murdoch was swept away.

723
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,320
[Parks Stephenson]
Historians have disputed that,

724
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:23,520
but this davit right here
stands in mute testimony that

725
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,120
supports Lightoller's
version of events.

726
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,680
Because, being in the
up position is exactly

727
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,400
what Lightoller described.

728
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,160
[Narrator] History has
not been kind to Murdoch.

729
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,280
And while we may never
know exactly how he died,

730
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:44,120
the twin does suggest
that the accusation of

731
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,560
cowardice of abandoning
his ship may not be fair.

732
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,600
[Parks Stephenson] I think
it really shows that he was

733
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,160
struggling to save as many
lives as possible right up to

734
00:44:58,240 --> 00:44:59,840
the very end.

735
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:03,280
They were trying to
launch one last lifeboat.

736
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,720
He never gave up on his duty.

737
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,800
[Narrator] For
survivors like Lightoller,

738
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,560
the scenes at the lifeboats
were some of the most

739
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,160
distressing of the
whole disaster.

740
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:24,520
But for those left on board,
the worst was still to come.

741
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,200
[distant screams]

742
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,920
[Narrator] Two hours
after Titanic hit the iceberg,

743
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,520
the ship is partially submerged,

744
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,760
but remarkably, thanks
to Bell and his engineers,

745
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,560
she still has power.

746
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,040
[Yasmin Khan] In Titanic's
wireless room, two operators,

747
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,320
Jack Phillips and Harold Bride,
are still at their post,

748
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,120
and desperately
sending out messages.

749
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:18,040
[Narrator] Shortly
after 2:00 a.m.,

750
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,160
Captain Smith told the men
they had done their duty and

751
00:46:21,240 --> 00:46:23,000
were relieved from their posts.

752
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,560
Bride prepared to leave,
but Phillips worked on.

753
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,480
[Yasmin Khan] Bride
who survived the wreck,

754
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,040
recalled his
colleague Jack Phillips'

755
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,400
selfless conduct, saying,

756
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,160
"He was a brave man.

757
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:41,640
I learned to love
him that night.

758
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,960
And I suddenly felt a great
reverence to see him standing

759
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,960
there sticking to
his work while everybody

760
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,680
was raging about.

761
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,520
I will never live to
forget the work of Phillips

762
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,520
for the last awful 15 minutes."

763
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:11,280
[Narrator] But soon
after 2:00 a.m.,

764
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,240
The messages abruptly stop.

765
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,400
Titanic is about to go under.

766
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:36,120
[♪ eerie music playing]

767
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:43,120
After the sinking,

768
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:44,960
two official
inquiries concluded that the

769
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,080
ship gently slipped
below the waves.

770
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:51,720
But even at the time,

771
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,160
many survivors
contradicted that,

772
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:57,200
testifying Titanic broke
apart before she sank.

773
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,560
Something confirmed
when the wreck was

774
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,000
discovered in 1985.

775
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,160
And the twin now
allows us to see in

776
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:12,040
unprecedented detail,
where the pieces came to rest,

777
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,680
a third of a mile
apart on the ocean floor.

778
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,760
But exactly how this
great ship broke in two,

779
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,040
is something Parks has been
investigating for decades.

780
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,440
[Parks Stephenson]
There's a lot of mysteries

781
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,360
in the Titanic disaster.

782
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,120
But the one that I've been
most focused on throughout

783
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:44,080
my career in Titanic research,
is the breakup.

784
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,760
And I think we've got the
evidence that's going to answer

785
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,600
those questions, right here.

786
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,160
[Narrator] The severed
ship is too badly damaged

787
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:57,200
to reveal exactly
what happened.

788
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,560
But Parks believes that the
scan can still provide answers.

789
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,400
Not by studying the
wounded wreck itself,

790
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,520
but the seabed around it.

791
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,440
[Parks Stephenson] There's
an entire debris field of

792
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,040
artifacts, of steel sections,

793
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,120
that you need
to take a look at.

794
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,080
[Jennifer Hooper] Wow.

795
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,280
[Parks Stephenson]
We're flying away.

796
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,320
[Chris Hearn] Wait a minute.

797
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,200
Oh it's the stern.
We're looking down.

798
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:31,240
[Parks Stephenson] We're
going to get a God's eye view

799
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,320
of the debris field.

800
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,000
[Narrator] Covering around
15 square miles countless

801
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,320
sheds of Titanic are scattered
across the ocean floor.

802
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,560
Among them, key pieces,

803
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,080
which Parks believes
may be clues.

804
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,640
[Parks Stephenson] You
can see how immense it is.

805
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,600
I mean, it looks chaotic,

806
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,720
but there is a pattern to this.

807
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,520
And I bet we can find
the evidence that we're

808
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,240
looking for to reconstruct
the breakup here.

809
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,960
[Narrator] The twin allows
the experts to study Titanic's

810
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,800
shattered fragments in
more detail than ever before.

811
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,040
If they can piece together
this twisted metal jigsaw,

812
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,280
the experts may be able
to find out how Titanic

813
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,080
broke in two and what it
meant for those on board.

814
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,240
[distant screams]

815
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,040
[Narrator] When Titanic
broke in two at 2:17 a.m.,

816
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,640
on April 15th,
almost 1,500 people were

817
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:42,480
still on board the ship.

818
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,560
Those in the lifeboats
watched on in horror.

819
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:56,560
[Yasmin Khan] Jack Thayer,

820
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,160
who was a 17-year-old
first-class passenger,

821
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,640
recorded in his memoirs
what he saw.

822
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,600
"Suddenly, the whole
superstructure of the ship

823
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,240
appeared to split.

824
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,600
Her stern was gradually
rising into the air."

825
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,400
"We could see groups of
people still aboard clinging

826
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,200
in clusters or bunches
like swarming bees,

827
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,560
only to fall in masses,

828
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,360
pairs or singly as the
great after part of the ship,

829
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,760
250 feet of it,
rose into the sky."

830
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,960
"Gradually, she turned
her deck away from us,

831
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:42,880
as though to hide
from our sight,

832
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,360
the awful spectacle."

833
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,000
[Narrator] Based on
historical accounts like these,

834
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,360
many have assumed that the
ship snapped cleanly in two.

835
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,600
But the investigation suggests
the truth may be more complex.

836
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,280
To find out what
really happened,

837
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,960
the experts have used the
unique level of detail provided

838
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,080
by the scan to comb
through the debris field,

839
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,720
identifying shattered
sections of the hull,

840
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,680
and painstakingly piecing
them back together.

841
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,320
[♪ upbeat music playing]

842
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,720
[Chris Hearn] Wow.
Look at the size of that area.

843
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,480
[Jennifer Hooper] So we're
looking at the side of the ship,

844
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,640
and we're seeing some
of the pieces of the hull

845
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:52,600
found in the debris field.

846
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,160
They're massive.

847
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:59,080
We're talking like 100 feet or
more up the side of the ship.

848
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,720
The big piece at the top,

849
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,120
I've studied rivets
from that big piece under

850
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,320
the microscope, steel rivets,

851
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,360
and how that piece was
actually held onto the ship.

852
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,400
-So, you have a personal
connection to this piece.

853
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,240
[Chris Hearn]
Wow, that's amazing.

854
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,680
I'm speechless, like, the
size of these pieces is huge.

855
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,040
[Narrator] By allowing us
to see the hull reassembled,

856
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,400
the digital twin shows
that far from snapping neatly,

857
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,080
a huge section of the ship
was completely destroyed.

858
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,600
-It was a giant
catastrophic fracture.

859
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,320
As the stresses
are building up,

860
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,400
you've got tension across
the top, compression,

861
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,640
and buckling on the bottom
of the ship, and slowly,

862
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:52,240
it turns into a domino effect.

863
00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:54,600
It's stressed on
the next component and

864
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:55,720
the next component.

865
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,600
It's like a chain reaction.

866
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,560
[Narrator] Almost all of a
ship's strength is in a shell.

867
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:03,520
With that compromised,

868
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,080
her exposed
interior was obliterated.

869
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,720
[Chris Hearn] I thought it
was more of a clean break,

870
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,680
and it certainly was not.

871
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,600
You would think the
ship had been struck by

872
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,240
some enormous missile.

873
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,080
It's that catastrophic.

874
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,040
[Jennifer Hooper] 20% of the
ship just completely destroyed

875
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,200
in probably a matter of seconds.

876
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,600
So many people lost their lives.

877
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,000
[Narrator] Titanic shattered
in multiple places.

878
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:43,760
[Parks Stephenson] This
was a cataclysmic moment.

879
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,560
70, 80 feet of it
broke at the same time with

880
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,840
human beings in there.

881
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,640
It's unimaginable.

882
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,520
[Narrator] As
Titanic broke in two,

883
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:06,320
the fate of everyone in that
part of the ship was sealed.

884
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,680
The twin can offer a
glimpse into the final moments

885
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,680
of those on board.

886
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,160
Including two of
America's richest men.

887
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,680
[Narrator]
When Titanic goes down,

888
00:55:36,240 --> 00:55:38,560
80% of the men are lost.

889
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,640
-Although some male
passengers did survive,

890
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:48,880
Edwardian ideals of stoicism,
and chivalry,

891
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,320
meant that the vast
majority of men would stay

892
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,160
behind on the ship.

893
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,600
Alfred Rush, a 17-year-old,

894
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,680
he'd only been presented
with his first pair

895
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,520
of long trousers
the night before,

896
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,200
refused to enter
the lifeboat, saying,

897
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,240
"I will stay with the men."

898
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,640
[Narrator] Another famous
tale of self-sacrifice,

899
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:18,920
was that of multi-millionaire
Benjamin Guggenheim.

900
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,320
-We have the
testimony of James Etches,

901
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,800
a steward, who said,

902
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,280
"I gave a life
belt to Guggenheim,

903
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,160
and he gave me a message.

904
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:32,400
It said, 'If anything
should happen to me,

905
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,720
tell my wife in New York
that I've done my best in

906
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,360
doing my duty.

907
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:38,600
We've dressed up in our
best and are prepared to

908
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,480
go down like gentlemen."

909
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,960
Another steward reported
hearing him say,

910
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,280
"No woman shall be left on
this ship because Ben Guggenheim

911
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,240
was a coward."

912
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,720
The popular narrative is
that he escorted his mistress,

913
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,600
and her servant,
to the lifeboats,

914
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,080
and then went back to
the first-class cabins.

915
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,280
[Narrator] The image of
Guggenheim waiting bravely

916
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,080
for the waters to meet
him is a romantic one.

917
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,240
But if he did
remain in his room,

918
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,840
his death would have
been far from peaceful.

919
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,560
The digital twin makes clear
the violence that those in this

920
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,160
section of the ship experienced
in their final moments.

921
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,160
[Yasmin Khan] Guggenheim’s
suite was right at the

922
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,240
epicenter of where
the ship broke up.

923
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,400
[Narrator] Near
Guggenheim's room,

924
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,880
was that of another of
America's richest men,

925
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,520
J.J. Astor.

926
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,400
Titanic had over
300 first class cabins,

927
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,200
and Astor was reported
to have paid over $30,000

928
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,000
in today's money for a
pair of these premium suites.

929
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,520
What's left of them
is visible on the twin.

930
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,680
Blown apart as the
ship went down.

931
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,400
Astor's body was recovered
a week after the sinking.

932
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,120
[Parks Stephenson] It
seems to have been important

933
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,160
at the time that the noblemen,

934
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:21,400
like the J.J. Astors,

935
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,440
or the
Benjamin Guggenheims,

936
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:28,120
died a very noble,
rather peaceful death.

937
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,600
But, in Titanic,

938
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,760
it didn't matter
what your status was.

939
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,880
You would all
meet the same fate.

940
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,400
[Narrator] On
that night in 1912,

941
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,400
death did not discriminate.

942
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,560
Over 60 feet below
Astor's suite,

943
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,680
Joseph Bell and his
engineers had remained tending

944
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,600
to the fires as
the ship went down.

945
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:00,520
Made visible
by its position,

946
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,240
right at the
ship's fracture,

947
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,360
is what's left of
boiler room two.

948
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,800
[Parks Stephenson] If you
look at this boiler here,

949
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,440
you see the shadow up
in the upper quadrant?

950
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,640
It's concaved inward.

951
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,760
And that's an indication
of an implosive event,

952
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,760
which means that these boilers
had to have been operating at

953
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:28,200
the time the ship breaks,
and the bow starts to go under.

954
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,320
[Chris Hearn] They stayed here.

955
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,040
They steel themselves
to their task because

956
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,800
they were professionals,
and they knew their duty.

957
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,480
And their duty was to
give people a chance up on

958
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,040
the top deck.

959
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,200
And for me, this is a
really powerful place.

960
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,280
[Narrator] All 35 engineers
would go down with the ship.

961
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,080
[Chris Hearn] We're
standing right at the point

962
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,280
where their lives ended.

963
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:20,440
So, this scan gives us an
opportunity to observe a

964
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:25,000
memorial to the bravery
and the dedication

965
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:26,320
of those engineers.

966
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,200
[Narrator] Bell's
body was never found.

967
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,080
Two hours and 40 minutes
after the ship hit the iceberg,

968
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,840
about 700 people are huddled
together in lifeboats.

969
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,760
The rest are either fighting
for their lives in the freezing

970
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,120
water or dead.

971
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:02,600
But over a century on,

972
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,560
the scan can still
shine a light on the lives lost

973
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,240
to the ocean floor.

974
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,160
[Yasmin Khan] After
the ship broke up,

975
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,320
the bow quickly disappeared,

976
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,040
but the stern stayed
afloat for a few more minutes.

977
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,560
And up there on the poop deck,

978
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,760
was Assistant Purser
Frank Prentice,

979
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,600
who saw exactly
what was happening.

980
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:35,760
He recalled that Titanic rose
suddenly and described hearing

981
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,040
everything that wasn't secured
crashing through the ship.

982
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,040
Then she began to plummet.

983
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:45,960
Frank Prentice climbed
over the railing,

984
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,080
and he dropped down 100
feet into the water below.

985
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:02,800
[Narrator] The bow sinks first,

986
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,120
shedding its contents
the whole way down.

987
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,000
It hits the mud with such
force that it jackknifes.

988
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,160
[♪ dramatic music playing]

989
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,120
The stern follows,
flattening out into a spiral.

990
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,200
Her freight and
furnishings are strewn

991
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,320
across the ocean floor.

992
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,480
Thousands of items
are buried in the mud.

993
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,360
Some are about to be
seen for the first time in

994
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,200
over 100 years.

995
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,080
[Jennifer Hooper] When
I saw the debris field,

996
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,120
my first instinct was
thinking about putting

997
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:08,400
the ship back together,

998
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,240
thinking
about the materials.

999
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,880
But, part of me
understands that...

1000
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,680
...there are
personal possessions.

1001
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,160
There's cups.
There's suitcases.

1002
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,240
There's bits of leather,
there's people's things that

1003
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,680
may last a lot longer
than the metal.

1004
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,560
[Narrator] The debris field
has already yielded answers

1005
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,120
about the ship itself.

1006
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:42,200
But it can also offer a unique
insight into life on board.

1007
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,600
An ornate bench,

1008
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,000
which lies 715 feet
from the stern,

1009
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:04,840
once adorned one
of the upper decks.

1010
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,120
And 416 feet away,

1011
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,400
the centerpiece of
a glass ceiling dome,

1012
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,560
which once capped one
of the grandest staircases

1013
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,360
on the ship.

1014
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,000
Footage captured during
the scan has been subject

1015
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:24,560
to months of research,

1016
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,560
using records and
insurance claims to try and

1017
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:31,120
identify the owners of
items glimpsed on the seabed.

1018
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,120
One of the suitcases
matches the claim of

1019
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,080
first-class passenger,
Charlotte Cardeza,

1020
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,000
who survived the wreck.

1021
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,160
[Yasmin Khan] She was well
known for her Louis Vuitton

1022
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:46,400
luggage and her extensive
collection of shoes.

1023
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,240
Charlotte Cardeza's maid
recalled being impressed by her

1024
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:53,640
mistress's bravery.

1025
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,520
Reporting that she remained
entirely calm in spite

1026
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,400
of the danger.

1027
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,280
[Narrator] This array of
shoes and opera glasses,

1028
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,040
may have belonged to
theater owner Henry B. Harris,

1029
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,480
who perished in the sinking.

1030
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,640
One of the most
intriguing personal items

1031
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,000
lies nearly 500 feet
from the stern,

1032
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:27,000
a pigs tusk bangle
next to a shark's tooth.

1033
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,080
[Yasmin Khan] This shark's
tooth is a lucky charm,

1034
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,120
and it would have been
attached to this pocket watch

1035
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,880
which bears an
Advance Australia crest.

1036
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,560
We've tracked down
that belonged to a

1037
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,680
Scottish businessman,
Colonel John Weir.

1038
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,480
After his death,
a family secret was revealed.

1039
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,640
His Scottish wife had a nasty
surprise when she made her

1040
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,760
claim to the estate
because it turned out he

1041
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,960
had an Australian
family who were making

1042
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,160
exactly the same claim.

1043
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,560
[Narrator] These remarkable
findings bring humanity

1044
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,920
to the dark and
desolate wreck site.

1045
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,000
But there are still countless
items on the sea floor,

1046
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,640
whose owners are unknown.

1047
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:19,040
A pair of men's shoes, lying
together on the promenade deck,

1048
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,760
suggests they mark the
final resting place of

1049
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,560
a third-class passenger,

1050
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,200
whose remains
are long gone.

1051
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,160
And this ornate doll's head,

1052
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:33,560
which may have
belonged to any of some

1053
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,080
60 children who did
not survive the tragedy.

1054
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,520
For prolific Titanic explorer,
Parks Stephenson,

1055
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,680
the digital twin enables
investigation and study of the

1056
01:06:55,760 --> 01:07:00,080
site without disturbing or
further damaging the wreck.

1057
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,200
[Parks Stephenson] Every time
I think I've seen everything

1058
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,760
I need to see out of this,
I see something new.

1059
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:11,640
This digital twin has opened
up a whole new thought process.

1060
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,040
And where that takes me,

1061
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,040
I don't know if I
see the end of it.

1062
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:25,280
This is the most impactful
thing that has happened since

1063
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,680
the wreck was first
found in 1985.

1064
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,480
[Jennifer Hooper] Look at
the rusticles all over the ship.

1065
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,600
[Chris Hearn] It's like the
by-product of bacteria, right?

1066
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,160
[Jennifer Hooper] Yeah,
it's actually corrosion on

1067
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:43,600
the sea floor.

1068
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:51,000
It's bacteria that eats
the iron and produces rust.

1069
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,200
So, it's slowly
eating the wreck.

1070
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:56,600
It's eating the ship,

1071
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,240
and the ship will
eventually degrade and

1072
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,400
just fall in on itself.

1073
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,480
This is a unique site.

1074
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,560
It's its own ecosystem, now.

1075
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,560
It's living and breathing
and changing constantly.

1076
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,000
[Narrator] Titanic
won't be here forever.

1077
01:08:21,440 --> 01:08:25,040
But the digital twin is now
frozen the evidence in time,

1078
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,360
allowing research to
continue long after the

1079
01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:31,480
wreck's inevitable decay.

1080
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,120
It has already offered
remarkable insights into

1081
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,040
what happened to
the ship that night,

1082
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,480
and the response
of those on board.

1083
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,360
Now, thanks to the twin,

1084
01:08:53,440 --> 01:08:56,240
the search for
answers can continue.

1085
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:00,760
