New CGI of How Titanic Sank | Titanic 100

As someone whos been on a cruise, most people cannot comprehend how dark the sea is at night. The cruise is full or bright lights and is radiating it everywhere but somehow, 5m into the sea from the cruise, you cant even see where the sea meets the night. Its just all black. Absolutely terrifying

[joshuamiller]

I think about the fact that some of the survivors stated that the ship split in two and no one believed them until the wreckage was finally discovered in the ‘80s

[JCrookk]

The scariest thing which the film doesn't show is just how pitch black it is in the middle of the ocean at night, you wouldn't be able to see a thing

[Onyyyxx]

Even if you survive this idk how you don’t have nightmares of that ship breaking in 2 and seeing its lights finally go out for the rest of your life. RIP to everyone on board. Still fascinating and terrifying after all these years.

I know it's just a simulation, but seeing a massive structure like that sink seemingly endlessly to the ocean floor is actually terrifying. I may have some serious deep water phobia.

*Titanic sinking down*

Narrator: yeah, that's good.

[I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

Even after all these years, you still have to feel for all those people that had to suffer the worst freezing drowning. Horrible.

I was at a museum several years ago that had this small tank of water that was cooled to the exact temp of the water the night the Titanic sank and it encouraged people to test how long they could keep a hand in the water. I COULD NOT keep my hand in that water longer than 11 seconds no matter how many times I tried! I can only imagine the extreme discomfort/panic/terror of that night!

[jcollins]

Even though it’s an animation, it’s still terrifying to imagine being aboard during this.

[maxiodanish]

People in Titanic never would have imaged their tragedy would narrated with badaboom.. Badabang.. Thats looks good..yaa.

[Strap]

It still frightens me when I think about it: A pitch black night, only freezing cold water around you and the huge, sinking ship in your back - facing death any second.... It must have been really really horrible! RIP to those who drowned that night.

[karlmoody]

That image at 1:28 is eerie to me. 3 hours before that huge ship had been sailing smoothly under the calmest of circumstances and yet there it was. Torn in two and headed for the bottom of the ocean, leaving behind nothing but death and misery.

[slicer]

I cannot imagine how terrifying it must have been. Especially when the lights shut off.

[MattysGrove]

The lobsters in the kitchen-
Bada bing Bada boom, that's exactly what we're looking for

[TheFallofTheEleventh]

April 1912: ‘I wonder how people will remember this horrible tragedy and loss of life in 100+ years. May we mourn these people forever’
James: 2:32 *BaDa BiNg BaDa BOOM!*

[dakrt]

I've always been fascinated by the Titanic since I was a little kid. I couldn't even imagine being on that ship when it was going down. That had to be an absolutely horrifying way to die, being on a sinking ship in the pitch black of night.

[timesupmetoo]

Rose: "i"ll never let go"
Jack: "Badabing Badaboom"

[historygirl]

People: Drowning and freezing to death:

James: Bada bing Bada boom. yeah, that looks good

[erinwhite]

Considering how cold the water was that night, what makes this even more gut-wrenching is the fact that the people who lost their lives most likely drowned from cold water shock, where they experienced an initial panic attack and struggled for air, then gradually lost function of all their extremities over the next 5-10 minutes, making it impossible to swim in that water. Absolutely terrible way to go. My heart aches for all of those people.

[TelmaFrege]

It's incredible to think that objects made of porcelain, glass and other delicate materials (like plates, windows, etc) survived all this and are still at the bottom with the rest of Titanic.
