00:03The Titanic famously sank more than a hundred years ago. It was only rediscovered again in 1985.
00:09But now we're getting a look at the storied vessel in a way like never before.
00:14This is a 3D rendering of the ill-fated ship, one the researchers working on the project call the largest
00:20underwater scanning project in history.
00:23The scans were captured by dual research vessels the Romeo and the Juliet.
00:26The submersibles dove down to a depth of 12,500 feet or nearly two and a half miles,
00:32scanning the sunken ship over the course of a six-week expedition at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
00:38Altogether the scans include some 16 terabytes of data, something the researchers say could quote,
00:43completely rewrite what we think we know about the catastrophic voyage.
00:47They also note that not only was the wreckage left undisturbed by their scan,
00:50they also held a flower-laying ceremony to honor those who died when it sank.
00:54The Titanic struck an iceberg on April 15th, 1912.
00:58Over the course of the next few hours it went down, with 1,517 people dying as a result.
01:06About a few hours of time, and wehl
01:09now known as everything else and what happened.
