I would absolutely watch an hour long video. I NEVER tire of hearing and learning about Titanic.

A year ago I thought I was the only person who found the titanic sinking extremely interesting. Now I found a whole community of like minded folks. Thanks.

"I could make a 2 hour video covering every single detail of events that happened in the last 10-15 minutes of the Titanic's life."

...Go on.

I can’t begin to even imagine how terribly horrifying it would be to be trapped on a sinking ship. The water is freezing. The ship was going down. Not enough lifeboats. Such a tragedy. R.I.P. to the victims of titanic 😢❤️

[Mabidemonstrations]

I heard the worst part of it wasn't the screams but yet the silence that followed.

Rip to all the heroes working until the very end to keep the lights on for others to try and get off the ship, knowing they would go down with the ship and die by staying there and keeping the coal burning

Of all the stories on Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews’ final moments, the one I chose to believe was that they were on the bridge during the final plunge and jumped into the sea - never to be seen again

When I was really young I remember I used to be obsessed with the Titanic, finding your channel has resparked my interest in it. Thank you.

[jamespalmore]

Estonia is still such a terrifying event! Its my biggest fear! Just absolutely no chance of escape if capsize!

[henrykrecklow]

Interesting point about the life jackets never thought of that.

[mcrbdude]

Wow! I never even took into account the whole science behind jumping into the water at such a high altitude with a life vest on! Very cool. Thank you for a very informative video sir!

[thomasvlaskampiii]

When you were talking about the lifejacket breaking your neck, what I believe was more likely isn't a broken neck, but rather an internal decapitation. Especially if you were fully vertical when you hit the water.

Now, if you were at an angle that is close to fully horizontal, then yes. Your neck would probably be broken.

If you were unlucky enough to jump and hit a propeller on the way down, see the 1997 film, then all bets go out the window because the rotational speed of your body would cause you to quickly black out, if not die, from the sheer g force

[wht-rabt-obj]

Everything you just described, happened in the same length of time that it took to actually watch the video. Wow. 😢 And I would totally watch a two hour movie you made about the Titanic! 👍

[kvyatalpinista]

my late night entertainment! always a pleasure to watch your videos, well researched, the narration is amazing and captivating. Keep up the good work, . Here is guilherme from facebook.

Honestly, if there was a 2 hour video of the last 15 mins of the sinking, I’d totally watch it!

[atomicenergysociety]

Again you put together an AWESOME Fact based Titanic Video. Your thoughts are also very insightful! You ROCK Dude! Thank you

[jeffjenkins]

You could totally make these videos two hours long and I dare say most of us would watch them. I don't know why but the stories of the Olympic, Brittanic and Titanic have always fascinated me. Keep up the amazing content! Easily one of my new favorite channels

Video ideas on passengers/crew if you ever want to touch on them in the future:
Manuel Uruchurtu
Archibald Butt
The Unknown Child (Sidney Leslie Goodwin)
Father Thomas Byles
J. Bruce Ismay
Chief Officer Henry Wilde
First Officer William Mcmaster Murdoch
Second Officer Charles Lightoller
Fifth Officer Harold Lowe
Sixth Officer James Paul Moody
William Thomas Stead (WT Stead)
John Jacob Astor IV
Benjamin Guggenheim
Isador and Ida Straus
Joseph Laroche
The Widener Family
The Thayer Family
Also a video on the Carpathia, and the aftermath of Titanic would be cool (such as the UK and US Inquiries)

Did anyone here ever play Tiitanic: Adventure Out of Time back in the 90s? When I was a kid I loved that game.
