Titanic Survivor Claims an Iceberg Didn't Destroy the Ship

Have you ever met a person who hasn’t ever heard the story of Titanic? Unlikely. Even if you ask a 10-year-old, they’ll tell you exactly what took down the gigantic ship. However, some survivors of the sinking legend would beg to differ. Here’s one of their stories, and it has nothing to do with an iceberg.

Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs. He’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion. And if what he said was true, something must have caused that huge explosion...

💥 Btw, guys, there is a cat hidden in this video. If you can spot our furry little guy, you're much more attentive than most people! Do you accept the challenge? 😽

SUMMARY:
- Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs.
- In 1912, Vaghinak published some books together with his father, a famous Armenian writer. His task was to take the books to America.
- They went to bed rather late on April 14, just like on the other nights. Shortly after midnight, something that sounded like a big explosion woke everyone up.
- None of the crew members wanted to say anything, but a few minutes later it was impossible to deny that the Titanic was going underwater.
- Vaghinak put his passport and money in a little bag and tied it around his neck. The Titanic’s bow was already underwater by that time. A lot of people in this situation wouldn’t have dared to take it to the open water.
- The water in the North Atlantic that night was just below freezing, at a scary 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 C). The young writer felt his arms and legs go numb, and he was understandably getting weaker and weaker every second.
- Then, he bumped into something. It was a lifeboat! But it was so overcrowded they pushed the young man with a paddle when he tried to stick to the boat.
- Vaghinak woke up alive on board another ship. That ship was the Carpathia, and it was en route to New York with lucky survivors on board.
- 12 days later, a woman came into the room. She turned out to be the person who saved Vaghinak. Missis Astor told the sailors that the young man was her son, and she wouldn’t let them go without him since she’d already lost her husband on the Titanic.
- Vaghinak lived a long and happy life and, as a great storyteller, he shared what happened to him many times. Interestingly, he’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion.
- It could have been a fire, and quite a lot of people actually believe that theory, saying that coal was burning in the ship’s hull.
- Another theory that explained the explosion claimed that there was a German U-boat involved in the sinking of Titanic.

Hey there, BrightSiders, what do u think destroyed Titanic?

[daig]

My great grandad told me he got to see the titanic and from the beginning he was shouting "don't get on that ship" he repeatedly shouted this until he was kicked out of the cinemas.

[dalekdx]

I don't think an iceberg hit the Titanic. I think the Titanic hit an iceberg.

[lustrazor]

Amazing. People who were sleeping during the impact said it wasn’t an iceberg. Astounding testimony.

[charlesstein]

I knew a survivor. She said her mom woke her up because her mom heard a explosion and then their cabin smelled of sulfur burning. It got so bad her mother decided for them to get dressed and go to the outside deck for air. The survivor said that this was a long time, hours before an iceberg was even mentioned, because the ship hadn't hit it yet. She blamed that on her being so young and any waiting time took forever at that age. Since they were already on deck, a crew member asked her mom to get in one of the first lifeboats, " just for safety reasons" Then they had to wait "forever" again in the lifeboat. Not many joined them, many refused to. The mother carried a small blanket with them, she got under it and went back to sleep. She remembered people crying. She didn't understand why the big boat they got on was a different one. She became a school teacher. She believed that the explosion caused the ship to lean, power to the propeller on one side became slow which caused the ship to steer into the iceberg.

Lol why is the ten year old bald?





I think we found *Caillou*

[Arkid]

Fun fact: Don’t board a ship if they say it’s “unsinkable”, because they will sink.

[steelbeard]

I am so tired of channels posting misleading or outright false titles to try to garner views. The man in this video did not claim that an iceberg did not damage the ship.

”Gentlemen, its been a privilege playing with you tonight.”

[lovetoclearclouds]

Ads are destroying youtube. It’s getting harder every day to watch about any vid.🤦🏻‍♀️

[foodafen]

3:51 "both wanted to live"

Yeah I think anyone would want to survive and not slowly die to the freezing water

[KatieMasada]

Wow ... i am just amazed at his survival story. What a lucky man!

[DamonNomad]

Tune in next week to hear Brightside explain how the Titanic was actually sunk by a couple of California surfer dudes whose boards accidentally ruptured the ship's hull...

[Idk.]

I edited my comment so the replies make no sense

[Misterman]

Titanic: I WILL FIGHT THE ICEBERG

Iceberg: Target Neutrilized

[genealogyman]

What’s sad is that this is so well written and played out. These theories have been previously established, but the people specifically mentioned were not on the RMS Titanic, nor did that room exist as a 3 number system wasn’t used. But this does make for a great piece of fanfiction.

[shivercanada]

I’m sure the sound of an iceberg ramming a gigantic ship would sound like an explosion from the inside of that metal can

[F-J.]

Did he ever mention a young woman not making room for her lover on a big raft door ?

[YEZZYFAM]

titanic: *exists*
iceberg: I'm bout to end this ships whole career
