00:00The superintendent has afforded a condemnment opportunity to make a last statement
00:07He has declined to make a last statement
00:12Are you ready to tell me?
00:14I'm not able to win the world
00:19I'm not able to win the world
00:24I'm not able to win the world
00:27I'm always waiting for you
00:30But we can't see it
00:34I can't see it
00:35I can't see it
00:37I can't be able to do this
00:44I can't see your eyes
00:46I can't see your eyes
00:47I'm just like a ghost
00:48I'm just like a ghost
00:50I'm so excited
00:52Yes, you are the wind
00:55I'm just like a ghost
00:57I'm just like a ghost
01:00I'm just like a ghost
01:08With these images seen on national TV, counselors say parents should monitor what children are watching
01:20Rarity? What are you wearing?
01:22My emotions, darling! Stress couture!
01:25Let's ask Miss Russell to take up her story again
01:28And let's jump ahead in time
01:30The last we heard from you, Miss Russell
01:31You were going to bed
01:32You decided to go to bed
01:33Now, let's go forward to the time when you were on deck
01:36And you asked Wareham, your steward
01:38To go and find your little pig, your mascot
01:40Would you take it from me?
01:41I was on a deck in the lounge
01:44When Wareham came along
01:46And I said to him
01:47Here Wareham are my trunk keys
01:49Would you mind taking care of my trunks
01:51If I don't get back in time in the morning?
01:53So he said you'd better go in and kiss those trunks goodbye
01:56I said you don't think there's any danger do you?
01:58If there is
01:59Alright, you'd better go back and get my mascot
02:01My mascot was a little pig
02:02A music box
02:03Had been given to me by my mother
02:05After a motor accident
02:06Fatal to everybody with me in France
02:08So he brought the little pig back
02:10He played them at Cheech
02:12After that I was in the direct line of light
02:15With Bruce Ismay
02:17Who saw me and picked me up like a puppy
02:19And threw me down the steps
02:21And I was wearing a sheath dress
02:24Very narrow skirt
02:25A long fur coat
02:27A woolen cap
02:28Some furs
02:30Evening slippers
02:31And one thing or another
02:32Thin stockings
02:33And I went forward to the rail
02:36Looked at that very, very high rail
02:38With a lifeboat swinging way out on its davits
02:41And I knew I never could make it
02:43Not in that skirt
02:44So as I stood there hesitating
02:46A sailor grabbed this little pig from under my arm
02:50And said, well if you don't want to be saved
02:52We'll save your child
02:53And he threw the pig into the lifeboat
02:56Well, I stood there hesitating
02:58And as I said to a gentleman alongside
03:01Should I leave?
03:02He said, definitely madam
03:03Well I said, can't make it
03:04He said, well now if you will just sit on my hand
03:08This sailor and I will make a little cradle of our hands
03:11You sit down, put your hand around my neck
03:14And we'll toss you right into the lifeboat
03:16And they did
03:17First thing I did then was to hunt for the little pig
03:20I found it
03:21The bottom of the boat with its legs broken
03:23But it still could play the math teach
03:25And I played it all night long
03:27To keep the children from crying
03:29Thank you Miss Russell
03:30That'll do pig
03:36That'll do
03:41There was something about the Titanic
03:43It was so very formal
03:45It was so stiff
03:48The atmosphere was stiff
03:51The coziness
03:53Well you know the kind of get together feeling
03:58It didn't exist
04:00I always remember going up on the lift
04:02A little boy said to me
04:04You know madam
04:06It's quite an honour
04:08I'm only 14 years old
04:10I'm a lift boy
04:14In the wireless cabin
04:15The two operators
04:16Phillips and Bride
04:17Flashed out signals for assistance
04:19Until the deck was awash
04:23Did the band actually play music
04:25While the ship went down?
04:26No
04:27I heard the band play with the boat's truck
04:29When I first tried to get on the deck
04:31But when I decided to jump off the boat
04:35I actually saw the band stand about with the instruments
04:38I don't doubt that they were playing music
04:42Other people heard it
04:44But when people say that music played
04:47As the ship went down
04:50That is a ghastly, horrible lie
04:54Do not yell at them
04:55They won't shout
04:56W
05:20platform
08:22Crushing several people to death, struggling in the water, including first-class passenger
08:28Charles DeWayne Williams, as it fell into the water and only narrowly missing the lifeboat.
08:34It closely missed Light's Allure and created a wave that washed the boat 50 yards clear of the sinking ship.
08:45It's time for you to be right back to someone to love more than me.
08:55So the sadness in my heart feels the best thing I could do.
09:05It's time for you to be right back to someone to love more than me.
09:15When it's done, it's done, it feels so bad.
09:18Once was happy, now it's sad.
09:23I'll never forget my world is anything.
09:35I wish that I could turn back time, cause now the guilt is all mine.
09:44Can't live without the trust from those you love.
09:49I know, I know, I know, you can't forget the best.
09:54You can't forget love and pride.
09:57Because of that, it's killing inside.

10:22Tumbling down, Tumbling down, Tumbling down...
10:26Though still on Titanic, felt her structure shuddering as it underwent immense stresses.
10:48As first-class passenger Jack Thayer described it,
10:53occasionally there had been a muffled bud or deadened explosion within the ship.
10:59Now, without warning, she seemed to start forward, moving forward, and into the water at an angle of about 15 degrees.
11:09This movement, with the water rushing up toward us, was accompanied by a rumbling roar mixed with more muffled explosions.
11:19It was like standing under a steel railway bridge, while an express train passes overhead,
11:25mingled with the noise of a pressed steel factory and wholesale breakage of China.
11:34Eyewitnesses saw Titanic's stern rising high into the air as the ship tilted down in the water.
11:42It was said to have reached an angle of 30 to 45 degrees,
11:46quote, revolving apparently around a center of gravity just astern of midships, as Lawrence Beasley later put it.
11:55Many survivors described a great noise, which some attributed to the boilers exploding.
12:01Beasley described it as, quote,
12:04partly a groan, partly a rattle, and partly a smash, and it was not a sudden roar as an explosion would be.
12:12It went on successfully for some seconds, possibly 15 to 20.
12:17He attributed it to, the engines and machinery coming loose from their bolts and bearings,
12:24and falling through the compartments, smashing everything in their way.
12:28After another minute, the ship's lights flickered once, and then permanently went out, plunging Titanic into darkness.

13:21Jack Thayer recalled seeing, quote, groups of the 1,500 people still aboard, clinging in clusters or bunches,
13:30like swarming bees, only to fall in masses, pairs or singly, as the great after part of the ship, 250 feet of it, rose into the sky.

15:39Titanic was subjected to extreme opposing forces, the flooded bow pulling her down
15:49while the air in the stern kept her to the surface, which were concentrated at one of
15:55the weakest points on the structure, the area of the engine room hatch.
15:59Shortly after the lights went out, the ship split apart.
16:06The submerged bow may have remained attached to the stern by the keel for a short time, pulling
16:13the stern to a high angle before separating and leaving the stern to float for a few moments
16:19longer.
16:20The forward part of the stern will have flooded very rapidly, causing it to tilt and then
16:27settle briefly until sinking.
16:29The ship disappeared from view at 2.20 AM, two hours and 40 minutes after striking the
16:45iceberg.
16:46There, reported that it rotated on the surface, gradually turning her deck away from us, as
16:53though to hide from our sight the awful spectacle.
16:56Then, with the dead-end noise of the bursting of her last few gallant bulkheads, she slid quietly
17:03away from us into the sea.

17:49Titanic's surviving officers and some prominent survivors testified that the ship had sunk in
18:17one piece a belief that was affirmed by the British and American inquiries into the disaster
18:23Archibald Gracie who was on the promenade deck with the band by the second funnel stated that
18:34quote Titanic's decks were intact at the time she sank and when I sank with her there was over
18:41seven-sixteenths of the ship already underwater and there was no indication then of any impending
18:48break of the deck or ship Ballard argued that many other survivors accounts indicated that the ship
18:55had broken in two as she was sinking as the engines are now known to have stayed in place along with
19:03most of the boilers the great noise heard by witnesses and the momentary settling of the stern
19:10were presumably caused by the breakup of the ship rather than the loosening of her fittings or boiler
19:17explosions there are two main theories on how the ship broke into the top-down theory and the Mengo
19:26theory so named for its creator Roy Mengo the more popular top-down theory states that the breakup was
19:35centralized on the structural weak point at the entrance to the first boiler room and that the
19:41breakup formed first at the upper decks before shooting down to the keel the breakup totally separated
19:49the ship up to the double bottom which acted as a hinge connecting bow and stern from this point the bow was
19:59able to pull down the stern until the double bottom failed and both segments of the ship finally separated
20:10the Mengo theory postulates that the ship broke from compression forces and not fracture tension which
20:18resulted in a bottom to top break in this model the double bottom failed first and was forced to buckle
20:28upwards into the lower decks as the breakup shot up into the upper decks the ship was held together by the
20:36B deck which featured six large doubler plates trapezoidal steel segments meant to prevent cracks from forming in
20:45the smokestack uptake while at sea which acted as a buffer and pushed the fractures away
20:54as the hull's contents spilled out of the ship B deck failed and caused the aft tower and forward tower
21:02superstructures to detach from the stern as the bow was freed and sank after they went under the bow and stern
21:13took only about five to six minutes to sink three thousand seven hundred and ninety five meters
21:19twelve thousand four hundred fifty one feet spilling a trail of heavy machinery tons of coal and large
21:26quantities of debris from titanic's interior
21:31the two parts of the ship landed about six hundred meters two thousand feet apart on a gently undulating area of the
21:40sea bed the steam lined bow section continued to descend at about the angle it had taken on the surface
21:49striking the sea bed prow first at a shallow angle at an estimated speed of 25 to 30 miles per hour 40 to 48
21:59kilometers per hour its momentum caused it to dig a deep gouge into the sea bed and buried the section up to
22:0820 meters 66 feet deep in sediment before it came to an abrupt halt the sudden deceleration cost the bow structure
22:20to buckle downwards by several degrees just forward of the bridge the decks at the rear end of the bow section
22:28which had already been weakened during the breakup collapsed one atop another
22:33the stern section seems to have descended almost vertically probably rotating as it fell
22:44empty tanks and cofferdams imploded as it descended tearing open the structure and holding back the
22:51steel ribbing of the poop neck the section landed with such force that it buried itself about 15 meters 49 feet
23:01deep deep at the rudder the decks pancaked down on top of each other and the hull plating splayed out to the sides
