Explorers look for the Guggenheim state rooms which were located near the ship's split point. What intrigued you most about their search?

I can almost feel how dark and cold the scene was, must have been terrifying for the people who lived it that night.

[chadwilkins]

I don't think people understand just how freaking DEEP Titanic's tomb actually is! The fact that we even engineered a vessel to withstand that kind of pressure is just as mesmerizing to me is the Titanic itself.

Thanks for posting this video. Saved me $250, 000 and my life.

Comparing the submersible in this to the Titan is actually mindblowing. It wasn't a matter of IF a catastrophic implosion would happen...it was a matter of when

[esmemoignard]

It breaks my heart, how so many lives were lost, from baby’s to elderly. It also breaks my heart how third class were locked in their cabins...

[jasonallen]

The movie is great and all but the thought of going through that. I cannot fathom their emotional moments. It’s truly mind blowing to me and utterly devastating. The fear, the pain, the struggle, and then the silence of waiting for an absolution. God be with them all.

Hard to believe it's still down there after all this time (albeit it's slowly disintegrating away). It's amazing and heartbreaking and terrifying, all at the same time.

[Jackmonster]

I wonder if the divers and crew ever feel weird about being in the proximity of where hundreds of people froze to death. Even being on the surface I think I'd be unsettled.

[FlyingCabbageUnicorn]

I know a lot may disagree with this, but I think of how we have this technology at our hands now and how much it probably means to the families to have precious items back to them. I don't think exploring and learning everything we can, before it turns into a pile of rust, is a bad thing at all. I learn more about these people all the time and have so much respect for them. Especially the boiler room men, who I just learned tried to keep the lights on as long as possible! Heroes all over. God rest their souls 🙏♥️

My grandpa told me that he got to see the titanic and from the beginning he told them not to get onboard because he knew it was going to sink.But no one listened and he repeatedly told them until he got kick out of the movie theater

[talkaboutwacky]

I LOVE how preserved the bow of the Titanic is. I think the way she landed on the ocean floor the way she did is one of the contributing factors for our love of the Titanic story. I’ve seen other shipwreck videos and a lot are unidentifiable, but when Titanics bow comes into the frame it captivates us.

Look at the submersible they are using here. Look at how well-equipped it is, all the serious-looking control equipment, the regular status communications, build quality, everything.

Now compare that to that Titan submersible that vanished and is probably already sunk. The difference in their quality, in every aspect, can’t be more stark.

I’m not a marine or submarine engineer, heck I’m not even an engineer by any means, but the inferiority of that Titan submersible should be pretty obvious to virtually anyone especially when they can compare it to what real submersibles are like.

[anacarolinyss]

so that's what a serious submersible looks like

[ashuramuhammad]

Remember, Mr. Guggenheim was dressed in his best and died like a true gentlement that night.

This sub is a luxury compared to Titan sub disaster using a x box controller to steer

I've been in love with all things titanic since a small child. I remember a expedition that was touring world wide and they had a large slab on the hull that had been cut away from the wreck and was on display, think I was 8 or 9 at the time. I ran under the barrier (getting a telling of afterwards) and out streched my hands to the section of the hull and put my face to it. Almost like hugging it in a way with my hands outward and my cheek on the hull, now 25 years old I feel truly humbled and honored to have actually touch a piece of the titanic. A true piece of history.
