Anyone else watching this after being immersed in missing submersible "Titan" on its way to take tourists to see "Titanic"? I've seen it loads of times, but wanted to watch again given the current situation. Praying all 5 are found safe and rescued alive!❤

There was a lady who was a child at the time and saw the Titanic break in half as it went under, no one believed her, men who weren't even there telling her she was mistaken. 75 years or so later she was proved right. I'm glad she lived to experience that vindication.

I remember driving cross country with my father in the mid 1980s, right after the Titanic was discovered. He was in the iron and steel business, and having grown up in the Soviet Union and Iran, had never heard of the Titanic. I told him about the iceberg having opened a gash in the side of the ship, and he looked at me incredulously and said, "that is impossible. You just can't cut one inch thick steel with ice." He then proceeded to explain how ships of the era were made of steel places that were riveted together, and he said what probably happened was that the iceberg distorted some of the steel plates and popped the rivets, and water was able to get in between the plates. He was a pretty smart guy!

This documentary is absolutely captivating, and having Paul Henri Nagreolet featured in it was a delightful surprise. His profound passion for the Titanic was truly evident throughout.

Started watching this today since the Oceangate tragedy occurred. This is a fantastic documentary and seeing Paul Henri Nagreolet in it was a bonus. He was obviously very passionate about the Titanic.
What they did with computer graphics here was stunning!

[akshaansh]

Even after a century the story of Titanic never fails to fascinate us. I've always loved the documentaries on RMS Titanic. A ship like no other !!! Thank you Nat Geo for uploading this.

[msay]

My heart still breaks for all those people who died, especially the children. How terrifying that must have been for the kids. 😢

[raveenasookram]

I wil never get tired of watching anything concerning the Titanic ❤

[mariaaves]

Rest in peace, Paul-Henri Nargeolet and your passion for ocean exploration and the titanic. You did what you loved to do up until now. You will never be forgotten along with the other 4 passengers in the sub ❤

[Henrygastas]

This kind of information being released free of viewing to the people after all costs incurred in research and development is so awesome of you guys. You deserve more. Thanks Nat Geo❤️

What’s saddest now is seeing and hearing P. H. Nargeolet in this documentary and knowing he isn’t with us anymore because of a similar tragedy at the same location. It is probably how the contemporaries of Titanic victims felt when they learned of the original tragedy... The people were alive a few days ago and then they are gone. RIP

[brittanyhyatt]

This was absolutely fascinating! When the narrator said that sunlight would hit her decks once more I teared up 🚢☀️ It never ceases to blow my mind what science can do.

The story that most broke my heart is that of Edgardo Samuel Andrew. The fact that at 17, he left by himself to travel the vast ocean to a completely new continent and country in 3rd class. I can’t imagine his fear as the ship was partially submerged, realizing that in fact it was going down but at 17 he did not constitute as a child, and therefore could not receive a seat on a lifeboat. He had to die alone on that ship, wondering if anyone would ever know his story. He may have been one of the unfortunate souls who were trapped underneath, which is a far more horrifying way to die. God bless those 1500 souls ❤

Rest in peace to Paul-Henri Nargeolet. He was one of the scientists inside that Titan Sub that got lost at sea :(

[ElizabethF]

37:38 P.H. Nargeolet was one of the ones who perished on the Titan, the OceanGate sub. He was an experienced seaman and diver. Bless all the souls that died in the sub and on the Titanic. I'm sad that the OceanGate owner didn't take safety certification seriously. He was warned and fired the employee who sounded the alarm. Both of these tragedies could have been prevented. That is what is so hard to take.

[GMM]

Absolutely amazing documentary. Thank you so much for bringing us this.

[momofthemaos]

Seeing Mr. Nargeolet in this documentary and his passion for the Titanic, I believe that he is resting forever near the place he loved so dearly. Just as every victim of the Titanic, he will be immortalized in that dark, still, quiet place forever.

[roni]

Just think, yall made this video for free to watch and didn't charge folks $250, 000 smh

Makes me feel so fortunate. My grandfather came from Germany to America at age 11 on the St.Louis in 1897. He did acheive his American dream. I've never found interiors of the ship. It was destroyed in 1924 after some service in WWI.

It was during late 90''s I heard about Titanic, It's been long ago I watched the Titanic movie, that time it was just for the sake of watching movie...But after recent incident curiosity started to grow exponentially. Watching documentary related to Titanic since last couple of days. What an iconic piece of history with mixtures of almost all emotions: it will keep fascinating the masses for the many years to come.
