Bone-chilling Titanic Facts No One Knew

[Mary-xbfz]

Titanic's last survivor died in 2009 at the age of 97. She was 2 months old when the Titanic sank, but was put on a lifeboat.

My great grandfather was on the titanic. He was a 17 year old coal shoveler. He was rescued from the water. He never talked about it when he was alive as he thought it was all too sad and tragic. He lost lots of friends. He could never understand the fascination. I am too young to have known him but a picture of him hangs in the Southampton museum.

They didn't recover any bodies from the bottom of the ocean, we didn't even have the technology to go to the bottom of the ocean then. The bodies that were recovered were found floating with their life jackets on

The scene were the old couple were laying on the bed, and the mother who was tucking in her children- I literally cry.
Every. Single. Time.
My heart-

[altheaespanola]

I cried in the part of the mother and her two children went sleep til their death and their mother telling her children a story..

I went to the titanic museum in Tennessee and they had water in the same temperature that it was for them. My hand went numb in 20 seconds. They also had a game where you could try to stop the ship from hitting the ice burg and it was so impossible that (whenever I went) there was only 133 wins out of 55000! This was such a horrible accident 😭🥺 Rest In Peace poor victims

When I was in high school I had to do a report on the children of the Titanic. That was depressive as hell. Seeing the baby photos of babies who drowned/froze to death. That one scene in Titanic where you see the bodies floating and you can see a woman floating with a baby in her arms *shudder*

ALWAYS gets me

Thank you for mentioning the engineers. My ancestor died on the Titanic and was an electrical engineer. They never recovered his body. His name was William McReynolds. He was from Belfast and died at the age of 22. His entire family put their hopes and dreams on him having paid for his schooling.

The whole thing is just chilling. May the people who died on the titanic rest in peace.

Respect to those engineers, the real heros.

[FooliganWasTaken]

I respect those musicians, they legit played until their death

[gallopingviper]

R.I.P. all those brave men who played to calm everyone and the engineers who stayed behind to try to keep the boat floating as long as possible R.I.P 😔

[iiiiii]

6:57 The musicians make me cry they knew their was nowhere for them to escape so they played continuously until they couldn't no more perhaps to comfort those nearby. They predicted they would died but they didn't give up and they took their deaths like heroes if they were alive they should of got a medal they are the real heroes here...😗

The band was definitely heroes that night. Amidst everything that was going on with the ship sinking they played their instruments until the very end in an attempt to calm people. I’m not sure if it did especially after the last lifeboat had launched and titanic was further and further down in the water moments away from going down. But music was their life and they selflessly did what they did. God bless them

[ThatGirlOnYourTV]

What is heartbreaking is knowing that they could have been saved 💔😢

[liftyswifty]

A 19 month old baby, that literally broke my heart, may you rest in peace ❤

[aubreyadkins]

I couldn’t even imagine how scary that was.

[christophermyron]

No bodies were recovered at the bottom. They would've been crushed due to physics in the sinking, not to mention the wreckage wasn't found till 1985 and not even bones would've been there.

My grandmas parents had tickets for the titanic, they just missed it

[cynnsmith]

I remember my grandmother speaking of this dreadful disaster with great emotion and sympathy. she would have been a young woman then. There is a video of some survivours speaking which really shows the difference of generations. The dignity and bravery of so many, the orchestra for example plus lack of life boats today it would never pass a safety check. R.I.P. to all those lost.
