Titanic Crewmen April 13, 1912: "Thank goodness the fire is out, the ship is saved"
Titanic Crewmen April 14, 1912:

[bobbygetsbanned]

Coal fires were common back then, hard to believe they would design a ship where a fire would do any meaningful structural damage.

[modergav]

How DARE you to debunk theories with reason facts and science? Ahahaha Great video.

[ajsnagratin]

I seriously dont know why people just cant understand that Titanic sank because she hit the iceberg.No fires, explosions, monsters, switches...She hit the iceberg.

[DarthMeteos]

coal fires can't melt steel bulkheads

[yaysimonsays]

These are the kind of people to say “If the titanic REALLY struck an iceberg, howcome no pieces of iceberg were found in the wreck????”

[MrSimplesimon]

To put everything into context, the vessel hit a berg at speed, ripped a gash down it's side, filled the so called watertight compartments with water, the problem was, is that the watertight compartments were not sealed at the top, so as the front filled with water, the bow nose dives, then the water spilled over into the next compartment and so on, hence she sank nose first, before breaking in two.

I’ve watched so many titanic videos I’ve lost count

[NegiTaiMetal]

I enjoy these kinds of documentaries explaining or debunking something.

[NASTYVEGASNATE]

Listen I work in metal inspection, I’m not a super scientific guy, but that heat, on steel, PLUS the addition of freezing water can and usually does create cracks. Just saying, I’ve seen it personally.

[SQUAREHEADSAM]

Thank you. Now I can link this to the people who think the theory is real, to show them other wise.
You’re the best man :)

"...and broke his leg."

*OW*

That's putting it mildly.

[hevendor]

finally we have a video debunking the fire theory
also Aaro- I mean Logan dublin university made a response video and he said alot of BS in that video

[andyb.]

My Father was a Carpenter working on the Clyde shipbuilding in the late 30s. He told me while watching the riveters that He never ever seen a 'clean' full diameter river hole, The rivers were white hot and almost molten, they were just hammered into the malformed hole. So the assumption that every rivet was 100% strong and correct is just theoretical fantasy.

[robertduncan]

Couple things, even if it is playing devil's advocate:
1) metallurgical analysis of titanics' steel showed higher than normal sulfur impurity, which would make the steel brittle at either temperature extreme and lower the melting point
2) The Centralia mine fire (coal mine burning for decades underground with little access to oxygen) has a range of documented temperatures some in excess of 1, 350 °f
Therefore:
It is conceivable that the bunker fire did effect the structural integrity of the surrounding steel and was possibly then a contributing factor in hastening the flooding either in an initial or progressively worsening capacity as the situation unfolded and stresses and pressure increased. Also, emptying a three storey tall coal bunker mostly into the boilers so you can get to the fire in the bottom of the bunker all the while increasing your speed in excess of the planned 20 knots to what I think was somewhere around 23 knots probably didn't help when they hit the iceberg. Right in whatever sore spot the bunker fire may have

All of which is not to ignore the sheer cacophony of a cluster-fluck the series of events was that culminated in the sinking of the unsinkable. Whatever the particulars actually were many died who should not have.

[cadenthecadburyengine]

I used to partially believe the theory, with that the fire made the hull weaker, and the iceberg was the last straw for the hull to collapse inward

[PassiveSmoking]

Bunker fires happened all the time in coal-fired ships. Imperator/Berengaria suffered several fires over the course of her career prior to converting to oil, including one during her sea trials that killed several people.

[skpknight]

Finally we learn the truth. It was a torpedo that sank her. No wait that was the Lusitania? An underwater mine sank the Britannic so we can debunk that myth .The Andrea Doria was struck by another ship, and since the closet ship was at least 10 miles away we can rule that out. So I guess that leaves me to think only one thing could have cause her to sink. The German Battleship Bismarck was doing target practice. No that was like 1941 not 1912.
So using my deductive reasoning I can only conclude what I have read in about 20 different books; it was a BERG.A VERY BIG BERG.

I left sabaton metal machine as fast as I can for this video

[billbones]

look and compare the side view ! The Dark Spot is between Bulkhead C-D, the Fire was next to Bulkhead E
the black spot is too far forward. The fire in the bunker was further back.
