Scientists Revealed Biggest Secret of the Titanic Iceberg

It seems like the Titanic story is well-known, and nothing can be surprising about it, but new details about that terrible shipwreck still resurface. It turns out that this iceberg most likely formed out of snow that fell 100,000 years ago. These days, it's possible to calculate the routes of such icebergs in any given year in the past. So, the infamous chunk of ice was on its way from Greenland to an area further south of Cornwall. If the ship had passed through that region only two days later, the iceberg would have moved far away from the point where they met.

The Titanic is one of my favorite topics .So many things we will never know.

[petskalina]

1:57 no it was a moonless night all you have to do is lookup the phases of the moon for 1912

[WilliamDearthwd]

3:10 Yeah, that was an issue with earlier kinds of film reels. They were composed mainly of cellulose and it's very prone to fire and has its own oxygen in it, so, rather hard to put out once it's ablaze.

Tell me these Titanic "experts" don't know anything about Titanic sinking, without telling me these Titanic "experts"don't know anything

[davinp]

As you can see from the image in 1:38, only the tip of the iceberg is above water meaning most of it was underwater

3:10 its scary to know that a century ago a novel written about the ship called Titan that will sink here. In 2023 We just knew that the Titan sinked there.

[SaltyGT]

5:53, we know how happened, the ship did not have enough bending sections to withstand the immense stress out of the water like that.

The Titan! Given recent events that’s crazy 😮 3:29

I can’t wait for Historic Travels to react to this 😂

[AH]

Seems like everything that could go wrong went wrong! Such a fascinating and sad historical event!

6:57 i had read they didnt even have binoculars available and they wouldnt have helped because it was total darkness except the starlight and the ships own lights

[jimdavis]

It lost me at a voodoo mummy may have sunk it.

There was no moon that night. The mastlight was not sufficient to see the berg. The lookouts used the stars to be able to spot any bergs. When they did, their speed had the too close.

"took Titanic 2 hours 47 minutes to disappear beneath the waves"

No, I saw the movie, it was definitely over 3 hours 😜

[davinp]

If Titanic had sailed in late March as originally scheduled, it might not have met the iceberg

[slotselectagamblingchannel]

Historic travels will have a proper meltdown with this one haha.

[claradavis]

first there was no moon and the super calm weather and odd optical illusion going on that night meant that even if they had the binoculars they probably wouldnt have seen it in time. Partially because they were speeding.... partially cause of the weird weather conditions. and they did get lots of ice burg warnings before that but chose to ignore them and speed anyways

[donnawright]

Me too. I love reading about the Titanic. I have done so much research on the Titanic. I wish I could go to see the wreck of the Titanic in person.

Titanic did not have a spotlight. The picture of the couple are not Isador and Ida Strauss, the owners of Macy’s. There was not a mummy on the ship. So many inaccuracies in this video 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
