Frank J W Goldsmith Titanic Survivor was my grandfather , thank you so very much for posting this interview.
Awesome. I first heard of him on the documentary "Death Of a Dream."
2:05 That Music! Still chills me today. I never forgot it...
Yeah, I hear it too!
These documentaries of this period are priceless; first person accounts that are simply gone today. Arguably mostly gone by 2000. I grew up with these shows, albeit in reruns, but they are far more interesting then many films made now on similar subjects. In Search Of and Secrets of the Unknown are two of the best shows just after this series.
All three were shown in Australia at the time and through the early 80s on the Seven Network as third-party content on a local series called The World Around Us. All had their creepy moments, but Havoc takes the cake!
I loved In Search Of when I was a little girl.
Love documentaries that don’t have actors and cheesy sound effects. straight and to the point
It was watching this series with my dad, when i was a kid, that gave me my fear of bridges - lasting to this day!!
Mark Darwin I hate high bridges w/an unbridled passion. Try to avoid them whenever possible.
The scuba diver scene still horrifies me.
YES!! FINALLY!! Thanks for posting episodes of this show! Takes me back to my '70s childhood days.
"SOS: Disasters At Sea" is one of the best episodes of the great documentary series, "When Havoc Struck" produced by or for ITC (International Television Corporation). It is noteworthy that when the episode was shown in 1978 on American television in the United States, the segment of the episode about the "Empress of Ireland" disaster (that occured when that ship collided in fog with the ship the "Storstad") was deleted from the broadcast because of time constraints due to the need to alot time for commercial breaks.
We know.....you’ve only commented about the time constraint thing about 5 times already. We get it
@ The Frase. I only mentioned the time constraints explanation twice in 2 separate comments about why the episode, "SOS: Disasters At Sea" from the TV documentary series, "When Havoc Struck" was edited when broadcast on television in the United States back in the 1970's. So where did you come up with the 5 times nonsense?
Like many others I too was spooked by the "Havoc" music cue. Not only that, I also remember from childhood being also spooked at the scene in this episode with the panicked deep sea diver.
Of these horrible tragedies, possibly the story of the Morro Castle is the most overlooked. The Ward Line, who operated the liner, and it's most senior officers were complicit in this disaster. Certainly, it would not have been nearly as bad if they only followed maritime laws of the day..... 130+ died because of disregard to passenger safety. I have read & re-read 3 different books on the topic. Just astounding subject matter. And sadly, overlooked in the annals of sea disasters.
It was on fire, just out of sight off our coast here, on the Southern Jersey, shore😔!!
The Queen Mary is notoriously haunted, by ghosts of the past...
I remember this episode so well from my childhood.
I still have, a VHS copy of this, somewhere…………
I remember the Eastland, I live in Chicago
Frank Goldsmith lived in Detroit years after the Titanic Disaster and lived by where the Tigers played. He said every time he'd hear a big roar, he'd be reminded of the sound he heard that night.
Well, I always got Glenn Ford and John Forsythe confused. And that's all I have to say about that. lol
ITV used to show this in 1978. Creepiest incidental music ever!
My strongest childhood memory of the programme. Freaked me right out, that little ten-second sting. STILL gives me the starts...
Should make this a Ring tone or Text for all those smart phones! LMAO!!
Yes. If I wanted to jump violently and reflexively throw my phone away from me every time it rang! :P
The Tay Bridge scene was the one that stayed with me most. No idea why.
@ Douglas Bell. How about the beautifully eerie ending credits' music from Robert Stack's TV series, "Unsolved Mysteries"? That music was equally eerie as the music in the documentary series, "When Havoc Struck"!
Some one payed off the judge .
What in the world was actor Glenn Ford thinking when he turned down the chance to marry the absolutely gorgeously beautiful actress Evelyn Ankers???? Ankers went to Ford's parents' house to give Ford an ultimatum to either marry her or she would go off with actor Richard Denning (who drove her to Ford's parents' house) and marry him. Ford turned her down and Ankers drove off with Denning and later married him. Denning is most remembered by TV fans as having played the role of the governor on the TV series, "Hawaii Five-O" during the 1970's.
Evelyn Anker. Lon Chaney's love interest, in 1941's "THE WOLFMAN".
Richard Denning. Obtuse scientist in "CREATIVE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON".
05:58 forget James Cameron's special effects!
All's we got now are cunard liners.
4:44 that's over $100,000 today closer to about 150
Cheesy yet Creepy keyboards
Is Glenn Ford's skin intentionally tinted green in this episode as an anti-copying thing or was the tape just in this state to begin with?
These must have been uploaded from older worn tapes. The Phase(consumer = 'Tint') is off on it. If watching on a smart TV or Roku hooked up, just move the Hue/Tint setting over to the Red/Purple side - not all the way though! Just remember to put Tint back to your calibrated setting when finished watching Havoc.
Doesn't help that it's NTSC sourced. European PAL technology never really had this issue as much.
feverpitch96 ...yes
This show struck me as an "In Search Of" knockoff.
They did air back to back where I lived.
“In Search Of” is exactly that. This is about documented catastrophes. What exactly is the knockoff?
That's kind of like saying Is It Real feels like a knockoff of Seconds From Disaster but okay.
Stuck up the dam rich. Let the rich go down with the ship & the poor be saved
Believe it or not it was considered the natural order of things that the rich be saved and the lower classes were less worthy. There were even sermons delivered to this effect after the sinking.
The 'REPUBLICON', way😮!!
2:04 - CHEESY disaster audio! lmao!
Turns out so many of us have got a real thing about that ten-second sting of music...used to freak me right out as a child. Um, and only as a child, of course... :/
Were vocalists used to create the sting? Or just electronically? And what about this show's direct competitor: 'Day Of Disaster'? Nothing appears on TH-cam or the web at large about it. Covered, in its own style, many of the same human tragedies.
Mr Robinson seems to have made a lot of use of various "vox humana" keyboard sounds in his broader score for the series, much of which aside from the sting is heard in this episode and the Ohio Floods episode. For a parallel, have a listen to the main pieces of music from the film Picnic At Hanging Rock, made in 1975. Pieces such as the main theme and "Ascension" have the same sound in the back of the mix, and it's hard again to know whether the voices are really human or not. All adds to the spookiness.
This was by far the freakiest, hair raising piece of music. Gives me goosebumps even now.
Mostly Indies meeeeee too!
