00:00When the Titanic hit the iceberg, it tore several holes in the ship's side, causing water to flood
00:06in. Now the ship was designed with these compartments that could contain flooding if the
00:12hull got damaged, and if up to four of these compartments became compromised, the ship would
00:18still be able to float. But the iceberg ripped into six of them near the bow of the ship,
00:24and they began to rapidly flood. This made the bow sink into the water, causing the back half to
00:31lift into the air. Eventually, the middle section couldn't support the weight and broke in half,
00:37and both sides sank to the ocean floor.
