Titanic Sinking Stern First | CG Animation

If Titanic had struck the iceberg astern, would this have been the sinking scenario?
With the support from living relatives of Titanic's passengers and crew, Friends of Titanic Lighthouse aim to help restore this forgotten treasure and create a new National Historic Landmark to honor the 1,496 souls who perished when RMS Titanic sank on April 15, 1912.

That would have been even worse because the engines and power generators were located in the stern. Those would have been knocked out first, leaving the ship without lights or able to call for help.

[@highground2059]

Yes and also the ship's center of mass is further to the stern because the steam engines. It would accelerate the sinking even more.

[@leannavoltanatekiancadetwh2344]

The cold water hitting the boilers would cause an explosion

[@Someguy4007]

But what if it hit like boiler room 1 or somthin

[@randomrazr]

sound from titano honor glory lol

[@robertturosik416]

It’s a bit trippy to look at. So use to hear going down by head.
A big reason she broke at 23 degrees during the actual sinking is because her heavy engines were a counterbalance of the sea water coming in. Had it been like this
scenario, the ship would have sank much faster, and the angle of the rising bow would have had a very high angle towards the end. It’s also why she was relatively stable right until the her final plunge in real life.
Additionally, if she had gone down aft, the power would have gone out right away. (Many more lives lost if not all hands). Also I don’t know if she would have broke in two had she gone down aft. Very interesting to think about.

[@TOWRR67563]

I’ve have a theory, if the titanic sank with the bow first, it stayed intact and the stern a mess, however if it sank stern first, the stern would be intact and the bow a mess.

[@RyderSirRyder]

This is a late reply yes, but this actually makes sense! The reason the stern is the way it is now is because the bow already was completely flooded so it went down intact, but the stern had a good amount of air still in the hull, causing it to implode on itself, ripping apart. So vice versa is probably the same

[@foskco87]

@@RyderSirRyder That is a possibility for sure, but to look at it another way... the bow is much more streamlined and aerodynamic, therefor as it sinks to the bottom it finds a fixed, steady nose down position, meaning not a lot of turbulence or debris getting ripped off and the tip of the bow would strike the bottom first, which is a very strong part of the ship being as it's basically an arch shape. The stern is way less aerodynamic and probably would spiral around while sinking, causing a lot more force and turbulence on it, ripping pieces off and it probably would not strike the bottom as straight on as the bow. It's hard to say what the residual air inside would have done to the ship. Would it have made it so the bow wouldn't sink nose down, being as air would have all gotten pushed to the front making it more buoyant? Also it's not like the ship was perfectly sealed like a submarine... there were plenty of cracks, windows, doors and other openings for air to get pushed out of as it sank, so it's not clear to me that it would have necessarily imploded. Hard to say.

I see this as an interesting to my sinking and always think about what if my stern hit and I sank thank you for this video I appreciate it

[@terinjackson9677]

Well the good news is the collapsibles wouldnt have been washed away so easily.

[@NoahJD-j7n]

But the power would of turned of in 10 minutes into the sink

[@ben-lu4jk]

Hi captain we have sucessfully avoided the icebe-

[@amanifaraj8718]

This can be worse as the stern was knocked out,no one could rescue the titanic.

[@kzeich]

The bow was lighter I wonder if it would have ruptured like it did. That's the point. Fun to think about

[@retroryan838]

I think it would still split in half, but it would probably happen right in the grand staircase because the wood probably couldn’t take that much stress.

[@antoniodavirbrito]

1)What if Titanic were a nuclear ship?
2)What if Titanic sinking process happened during the day?More people could survived?

[@aurelsmarterazo8221]

During The day would have been impossible because they would have seen the iceberg on time

[@ocean_liners1910]

this couldve actually happen if the bow missed iceberg

[@Rosielyn115]

Titanic: aahh my ass is going down!!!

[@pho3nix-]

An interesting scenario

[@xenoexedude20]

If the titanic sank by the stern it would not have split into two because the engines are at the stern that why the titanic split

[@retroryan838]

It could still split in half maybe. I would imagine it splitting right in the grand staircase because the wood probably can’t take that much stress.

[@BarrelofBurger9554]

If it actually sank this Way then the stern wouldn’t look messed up While the bow would. because that during the sinking alot of airpockets formed inside the stern due to it not being under water meanwhile the bow had alot of time to fill up with water so there wasn’t any airpockets inside the bow. So when the stern went underwater in an alarming rate the airpockets went under a whole lot of pressure causing Them to implode which made the stern turn into the mangled mess we know today. But if it sank this Way then the bow would have imploded and boy i wonder What that would have looked like.

[@foskco87]

But the air pockets were not perfectly sealed like a submarine. There were cracks, windows, doors, and other openings for the air to have gotten pushed out of as the pressure increased. I dont think it's a guarantee that it would have/did implode. I personally think a big part of the stern being so destroyed was because it didn't sink in a fixed, streamlined nose-down position like the bow. It likely spiraled and twisted around as it sank causing much of it to rip apart... and the more it began to rip apart, the less aerodynamic and structurally sound it would have been causing even more damage like a snowballing effect, and then it probably didnt strike the sea floor as evenly as the bow did. Just a thought.

[@BarrelofBurger9554]

@@foskco87 yeah that Also could be a good reason. But most of those cracks were mostly really small so the huge airpockets didn’t have enough time to escape

[@randomlyweirdjeff4638]

Interesting concept.

[@ExploreWithIsaac]

This might get used in T:SOS V2

[@Person-by6vd]

That would be a cool version.

[@martimga]

Yep

[@Aleph14]

Sink By Stern (Back)

[@amanifaraj8718]

And the power and engines start to discharge.

[@cawthorpe751]

It wouldn't have snapped in half all the weight was at the rear

[@amanifaraj8718]

And even without electricity!

[@paulxu1622]

This could have never been possible of it happening because when the ship has hit the iceberg it was at the front

[@thatonememerguy]

no shit

[@danijelujcic8644]

I guess you haven't noticed but this is a "what if" scenario. It's also how Costa Concordia hit the rocks, except it was on her port side.

[@shawnabradley4687]

The iceberg hit the stern it was the bow that was hit

[@bloba4443]

This is a simulation of what would happen if it hit the stern

[@shawnabradley4687]

@@bloba4443 I know I was mistaken

[@elijahmcdonald543]

But it's sunk in the front then split in half in the back and then lift it in the air then sunk
