Anyone else watching this after being immersed in missing submersible "Titan" on its way to take tourists to see "Titanic"? I've seen it loads of times, but wanted to watch again given the current situation. Praying all 5 are found safe and rescued alive!❤
Started watching this today since the Oceangate tragedy occurred. This is a fantastic documentary and seeing Paul Henri Nagreolet in it was a bonus. He was obviously very passionate about the Titanic. What they did with computer graphics here was stunning!
I too doing same thing, I think this titanic ship is cursed, for this ship to continue claiming lives after 100 years on the same crash site is unreal, who can ever think this ship sitting can claim any other life on the same location it sank in , ! This is really crazy Cheers
There part of the tour now. I wonder how they was able to tell the difference between the debris also?…came up with that story pretty quick. Like as soon as the oxygen ran out..
Even after a century the story of Titanic never fails to fascinate us. I've always loved the documentaries on RMS Titanic. A ship like no other !!! Thank you Nat Geo for uploading this.
@@dana102083 It had 2. The olimpic was the first one and even finished a year before the titanic, that was why the titanic was nothing special until it sank. The brittanic was the last sister ship and sunk after ramming into a german mine. The wreck is near greece and can be reached by divers. The olympic sunk a german submarine in WWI and after the war was converted back to passenger service. The ship was than scrapped in 1936 if i'm right.
This documentary is absolutely captivating, and having Paul Henri Nagreolet featured in it was a delightful surprise. His profound passion for the Titanic was truly evident throughout.
i saw things wrong with it, but then again, it is from 2016. the animation seems to raise the stern out of the water at 45 degrees, it doesnt mention the double bottom, and they dont mention the eye witness reports that did see it break up, and if it broke that close to the bottom
@LucasMoore88 The Titanic didn't break up at a 45 degree angle but more so a 20 to 30 degree. The Titanic's hull boasted a double bottom, but it had only a single wall on the sides.
This kind of information being released free of viewing to the people after all costs incurred in research and development is so awesome of you guys. You deserve more. Thanks Nat Geo❤️
Seeing Mr. Nargeolet in this documentary and his passion for the Titanic, I believe that he is resting forever near the place he loved so dearly. Just as every victim of the Titanic, he will be immortalized in that dark, still, quiet place forever.
I remember driving cross country with my father in the mid 1980s, right after the Titanic was discovered. He was in the iron and steel business, and having grown up in the Soviet Union and Iran, had never heard of the Titanic. I told him about the iceberg having opened a gash in the side of the ship, and he looked at me incredulously and said, "that is impossible. You just can't cut one inch thick steel with ice." He then proceeded to explain how ships of the era were made of steel places that were riveted together, and he said what probably happened was that the iceberg distorted some of the steel plates and popped the rivets, and water was able to get in between the plates. He was a pretty smart guy!
My Father was a steam engineer on the Great Lakes when the Edmond Fitzgerald went down. He had been aboard the Fitz with the Coast Gaurd inspector. The inspctor asked my Father what he thought about how sea wortht she was.. He told the inspector that it was braced a hands width to far apart. He told the C G inspecter that it would go down in a heavy sea. After the Edmond Fitzgerald sank my Father never boared another ship.
Rest in peace, Paul-Henri Nargeolet and your passion for ocean exploration and the titanic. You did what you loved to do up until now. You will never be forgotten along with the other 4 passengers in the sub ❤
@@bennypit4411 He was one of the passengers aboard the submersible that went on an expedition for the titanic last Sunday. It has been confirmed that an implosion happened with the submersible based on what the reports are telling us. It's truly a tragic loss. Thoughts are with their family and friends during this time
@@Saaad2it’s not really a mystery. We know the submersible he was in imploded and people on titanic died from hypothermia and drowning. Mystery solved. 😂
The story that most broke my heart is that of Edgardo Samuel Andrew. The fact that at 17, he left by himself to travel the vast ocean to a completely new continent and country in 3rd class. I can’t imagine his fear as the ship was partially submerged, realizing that in fact it was going down but at 17 he did not constitute as a child, and therefore could not receive a seat on a lifeboat. He had to die alone on that ship, wondering if anyone would ever know his story. He may have been one of the unfortunate souls who were trapped underneath, which is a far more horrifying way to die. God bless those 1500 souls ❤
@@qalba3016they didnt cut corners when it came to safety, and seem to have respected the power the ocean wields. Stockton Rush seemed like he felt smarter than everyone and almost seemed to laugh and scoff at people who crossed their T's and dotted their I's following safety regulations. Kinda seems typical in billionare CEOs.
Makes me feel so fortunate. My grandfather came from Germany to America at age 11 on the St.Louis in 1897. He did acheive his American dream. I've never found interiors of the ship. It was destroyed in 1924 after some service in WWI.
There was a lady who was a child at the time and saw the Titanic break in half as it went under, no one believed her, men who weren't even there telling her she was mistaken. 75 years or so later she was proved right. I'm glad she lived to experience that vindication.
After this sub crash and knowing the details of the CEO type character, I think in few years we will witness a new engineer going try to find a way to emptying the Atlantic Ocean around this cursed ship , may be a 1sq mile radius, people especially the arrogant types can go way too far
@@qalba3016emptying part of the ocean in the very middle where its 13,000ft deep is physically impossible. Even if every human, resource and dollar was spent trying, its impossible, so no worries.
RIP PH Nargeolet. Dedicated his adult life to researching the ship and has been laid to rest with the very thing that captured his curiosity. I have to imagine he had a different view than most on life and death. 36 or something missions to the Titanic is the definition of rolling the dice but he did it anyway. A rare, true modern day explorer. It's a shame that so many people are making light of this situation. Whether it was foolish to get on that shoddy submersible or not, those 5 men are now in a watery grave and should be treated with the respect of the dead.
Some things should not be played with we already have so much footage and memorabilia from the titanic why keep going down there gambling with your life ? The only one I feel bad for is the 19 year old
I went with my parents to a special Titanic exhibit in Seattle once and I was mesmerised. I was always hooked on it since then. this documentary is incredible!
I was excited that they found the Titanic. I'm thrilled that they ha e the exhibit of Titanic. It is still a beautiful ship no matter how bad she looks. My opinion my past life I was on that ship. Who knows.
My family went on a field trip with our Homeschool group right when the movie came out, on The Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. It was so eerie as a 14 year old. I was MADLY obsessed with the Titanic at the time. But, I don't think my young brain was able to understand the gravity or just the fact that these people were truly real, just like my family. It was so beautiful!! And so interesting!! Definitely one of my most cherished memories!! ❤
I’m down the titanic rabbit hole because of this missing submersible…. And that French scientist PH is in this documentary… eerie. I feel for him and his family. I hope somehow they can find them
What’s saddest now is seeing and hearing P. H. Nargeolet in this documentary and knowing he isn’t with us anymore because of a similar tragedy at the same location. It is probably how the contemporaries of Titanic victims felt when they learned of the original tragedy... The people were alive a few days ago and then they are gone. RIP
The patience of all involved in recreating the sinking is Huge. How meticulous going over that much data, then recreating it on a 3D model, etc. How exciting that must have been.
Scientists can be rather obsessive, not patient. Like Sheldon Cooper’s character portrayed as being on the spectrum. Hyper-focussed, obsessive over details, OCD, etc.
Something very unsettling about the titanic dry & out in the sunlight. Invokes a haunting and disconnected emotion that I can’t quite relate to anything else
An interesting family story. My grandfather was supposed to be on the titanic. As far as I was told, he had a reservation but missed it because he slept in to long. He probably was pretty poor at the time, so it's likely that he would have been sealed in the lower levels if when the ship went down. Our whole family line would have ended there if he hadn't made that mistake. Hurray for sleeping in I guess? He ended up taking the next ship over, which thankfully did not sink.
My family too has a similar story... my grandmother refused to go declaring they were "spitting in God's face".... their children wanted to go, but my grandfather said "momma says no, it's no".... and hear are all of us, their decendents, alive and well because my grandmother had a bad feeling about it!!! 😊❤
@@theresehopkins1581 That's crazy! Sounds like she had a good head on her shoulders. I heard that they were making bold claims about how not even God could sink it. I think a lesson is to be learned here.
@@codybersicc7939 It's not fake and made up. Same thing with my family but my grandfather was actually on the Titanic, he was 6 years old and sadly he didn't make it. Have some spect.
This was absolutely fascinating! When the narrator said that sunlight would hit her decks once more I teared up 🚢☀️ It never ceases to blow my mind what science can do.
it looks good, but its old (2016) and it has multiple things wrong. it doesnt mention the double bottom, or the eye witness that saw it break up, and if it broke near the bottom, why is the bow so far away
@@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega - yup. double bottom. She probably snapped on the surface, the bow sinking first, pulling the stern down and that double bottom held the two together by a thread until it finally gave way... my guess is somewhere around 5000 ft. that would satisfy both the eyewitness accounts and support the smaller debris field. we will probably never know for sure....
The story of the Titanic will never get old to me. Such a fascinating tragedy. The amount of things that had to go just perfectly wrong in order for this incident to have occurred is one in a million (or more). If one single thing had gone differently, the Titanic very well may not have been brought down. Its just crazy.
@@BoomShakalaka777 It seems that simple but it really wasn’t. There was so many factors that allowed the ship to not only hit the ice berg in the first place but also sink, and sink as quickly as it did.
@@airyowo First of all it was very likely to happen given the route it was taking in Iceberg infested waters and second as the documentary clearly shows it went down in 2 1/2 hours, not minutes!
It was during late 90''s I heard about Titanic, It's been long ago I watched the Titanic movie, that time it was just for the sake of watching movie...But after recent incident curiosity started to grow exponentially. Watching documentary related to Titanic since last couple of days. What an iconic piece of history with mixtures of almost all emotions: it will keep fascinating the masses for the many years to come.
I’ve watched close to 40 documentaries on the Titanic and THIS one has photos and video clip that I have never seen before, especially the excitement in real time of those who first discovered the wreckage. National Geographic is unrivaled. They stand supreme. Thanks Nat Geo ❤
My heart sank when I heard PH’s name. Rest in peace🙏 everyone who was interviewed on the news seems to talk about him in the highest regards☹️ his contribution to the titanic will not be forgotten!
@@XL_PAXPH Nargeolet, also known a Monsieur Titanic. He was one of the biggest living Titanic experts. Sadly he passed away in the Titan submersible tragedy🥺
I love shows like this. Out of 45 minutes of running time, at least 30 will show you the same frames and repeat the same phrases. So that the viewers who have gone to pee during the advertisement do not miss anything. In fact, the entire 45-minute issue can be edited into about a 5-minute video and show absolutely everything that is contained in the program.
I say leave it be. The money that would be spent trying to preserve the Titanic is better spent protecting the oceans or cleaning it. This was a great doc and the forensic science here is amazing.
Love all the Drain the Oceans episode. In some sense they are interesting than learning about other planets. Our oceans hold so much history and information.
At 12,400 feet of depth, the pressure is very roughly about 400 to 500 times the pressure at sea level. It is astounding that the little jar of perfume is still intact, especially considering that it may have decelerated against a wall. And I have heard, I think, that someone recovered a bottle of wine from the wreck - intact. For that matter, it's surprising to me that ceramic would not fragment along weaker lines in its composition, something like the crazed ceramic common at sea level and above.
Yea i dont understand how any of the artifacts survived the pressures under water 2miles down?! The perfume bottles and anything glass or ceramic would’ve been crushed. I went to the Titanic exhibit when it was going to different museums around the country in 2012 100 year anniversary. They had so many personal items, like eyeglasses, mens shaving kits, hair and toothbrushes, clothing etc etc it was really an interesting exhibit but sad at the same time knowing all those items belonged to people really hits u hard. Especially when they had some kids clothing and shoes.
I was 16 yrs old when Titanic was found. It was such a massive event!! I grew up facatined about her. It's sad to know she will be gone in my lifetime. RIP to all the Souls lost that night in April 1912. 🛳🛳🛳🛳⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Those bacteria breaking down the ship break down every metal object that's ever been lost at sea. Everything in this world, even our own bodies, one day returns to the Earth from which it was born. Such is the way of this mortal life.
Since I’m posting after the Titan incident, I haven’t gone through all the comments. But, with the points made about the ship breaking up nearer to the bottom doesn’t jive with the previous assertion that the stern must’ve twisted all the way down, causing the tracks and other evidence. I know we have a lot to learn, and it’s unlikely we will ever know for sure, but I found those two diametrically opposed. Did anyone else notice that? Or maybe I missed an explanation. With much respect for the loss of innocent lives, like Edgardo (Sam), the 17 year old with his whole life ahead of him, I thank you for sharing stories of people that were not rich or famous, but had value. Rest well, to all lost in that tragic day.
I did. Also how is it supposed to accelerate to 50mph if not over a great distance? I believe the debris field is bigger, the outer objects simply are smaller and covered in silt for a long time already.
May all those lost souls sleep in peace, and may those who survived to this day, be at peace an comfort. It's extremely hard having to experience this type of disaster😭😭🇹🇹
I cannot believe some people think they drained the ocean. I think they should bring up as many artifacts as they can. The notebook surviving is incredible.
@@fitnesspoint2006 Exactly! It's bad enough the MSM is getting carried away w/their banner headlines, the "Titanic" took 5 more lives in referencing the incident aboard the submersible considering they were paying tourists, going to gawk at a gravesite that's been turned into an adventure destination for the wealthy (for their conversation starters at their fancy dinner parties) but they died in the blink of an eye, as opposed to the victims aboard the Titanic who suffered at death's door for 2 1/2 hrs before being plunged into the icy waters to suffer for up to 45 min. before succumbing to hypothermia. RIP to all people and animals who died aboard the Titanic.🌹❤
Titanic is not the deadliest disaster at sea, but it has resonated with people for over 100 years. I feel like bringing up artifacts allows us to get a glimpse at Titanic's glamour. I do understand it is a gravesite for 1,500 people, but people still want to be able to see how beautiful the ship really was. Whenever I see the 1997 movie, it does really make you think, this was a deal disaster, and 1,500 people really did lose their life. I wish I could have seen this beautiful liner in her day.
You can see how beautiful the ship was. They took her sister, Olympic's first class lounge and grand staircase and put it in a hotel in England. Go see that, and stop grave robbing.
@@benzalkionium It's not grave robbing, genius! They died on the ocean's surface. There have never been any bodies on the ocean floor. If you want to preserve where they died, you would have to cordon off a section of the surface of the ocean.
@@protoborg "They died on the ocean's surface. There have never been any bodies on the ocean floor" Most of them died on the ocean surface but what do you think happened to people after they died? That's right, their bodies drowned. In the Titanic debris field there are many personal items like shoes that were used by people. Sure bodies are long gone but they certainly reached the bottom.
@kamils8516 The bodies never made it to the ocean floor. At that depth the bodies would be crushed to dust from the pressure well before making it to the bottom.
@@protoborg given that there were 3rd pass passengers who got locked below deck along with the crew in the boiler rooms, their bodies would have gone down with the ship. However, no physical remains would be left due to the deep sea pressures.
Yes, exactly, Not what one would expect from National Geographic/ Extremely manipulative for a "documentary." I will say the 3d graphics are well done. More like edutainment, with music that would easily fit a horror drama and other heart string pulls. I'm not one who likes his "science" served up so spicY. If it is a "fact based" investigation, why all the foreboding music and dark lighting throughout?
@@fubarmodelyard1392 I know they only had an hour but they should have slowed the swooping views down. It would have been nice to see some detail instead of flashing by as if in a car on a freeway
It's really amazing how much technology has evolved within the past 100 years. The fact that the entire site has been scanned digitally and will forever be preserved is just astonishing.
@@FimbongBassYour point? If the Earth goes away then all that info is gone for good lol. Preserveration doesn't mean it has to account for all unlikely scenarios to happen, just that it has to be preserved to the best of modern standards. Nothing really is truly permanent, but the internet is close.
In 1901 the Wright brothers got the first airplane into the air. 40 something years later we were dropping an atomic bomb out of a B-29 Superfortress at 31,000 feet. The craziest thing in our lifetime is going to be the evolution of artificial intelligence. Humans are going to involve themselves out of existence in the matter of about 300 or so years depending on when you start counting I count the Industrial Revolution onward
Every graveyard has the potential to become an archaeological site. To honor the fallen and to learn from past mistakes. I would love to see it preserved
They have to go down there with remote bots and have them installed with instruments that can remove these organisms but the pressure is so great down there and messing with the ship may cause more damage.
Sadly ironic- I watched this for the first time just a couple of days before the OceanGate submersible went missing. Paul-Henry Nargeolet is onboard. As I’m writing this, the submersible has still not been found. 😢
@@jsmith034086 yes they were on, but they were not enough to illuminate the entire ship, the survivors couldn't figure out exactly what was happening with the ship
I feel the same way. But I suppose it's possible that the two pieces never fully broke apart until closer to the bottom. James Cameron explained the splitting with a banana and how the bottom of the ship would have remained in tact after the split.
Is it just me but I don't understand why we are so obsessed about what will happen to the Titanic wreck in 1000 years? Explorers and scientists have studied it in depth, brought artifacts and large pieces up from the bottom of the ocean and even built a 3-D digital twin of the sunken ship for all to behold. When is it enough to just let it be and let the souls there Rest In Peace? And for people to stop risking their lives to be near it? We have learned all that we can about this lost ship.
After watching the news unfold regarding the tragedy of the submersible, Titan, earlier today, I came to watch this amazing episode by National Geographic.
37:38 P.H. Nargeolet was one of the ones who perished on the Titan, the OceanGate sub. He was an experienced seaman and diver. Bless all the souls that died in the sub and on the Titanic. I'm sad that the OceanGate owner didn't take safety certification seriously. He was warned and fired the employee who sounded the alarm. Both of these tragedies could have been prevented. That is what is so hard to take.
Most ships you hear took minutes to sink Titanic took 2 hours & 40 minutes, taking her last breath after waiting for as long as she could for passengers to safely leave Maybe she was okay with being a tomb for those who couldn't get on a lifeboat She wouldn't go down without a fight, a true titan in my book Farewell, Titanic We thank you for your service
Paul-Henri Nargeolet one of the crew members of Oceangate features in this documentary at 20.30. I hope all of the crew members of Oceangate are rescued.
My local library during their move to digital had dozens of NatGeo's they were getting rid of (Physical copies). One of my first objectives when I learned of this, was digging through to 1985 and finding the copy of Nat Geo with the discovery of Titanic by Dr. Robert Ballard. I have it inside a keepsake and on display at my apartment as a prized possession. No regrets at all.
I was serving on my 1st ship, the USS Moosbrugger (DD-980) when the Titanic was finally found. Somewhere, I have the NatGeo covering that event. Over the years, during my Naval career, I have been right over the Titanic (literally). The last time was back in 1994, I was able to see the location of the wreck pinpointed on a digital chart, and my ship was right on top of it.
The most famous shipwreck in the world, the Titanic. I'll never forget how this documentation changed people's mind and to make us realized the importance of life
Excellent documentary! This scan advances scientific & archeological studies in ways we could never have done exploring the actual wreck site. Phenomenal amount of information and clarity were acquired by the UAV imaging. Thanks for sharing this.
I enjoy watching programs about this ship. They are interesting. I always walk away with the feeling that human beings are arrogant, but are humbled every single time.
After all the years I've followed anything Titanic, each documentary I watch is just as educational, captivating and heartbreaking as if hearing about it for the first time. And each time, one can only hope, THIS time they will miss the iceberg. All those people....... and a domino effect of events that led to that horrible tragedy. 😥🕊🌹🙏👼 RIP Paul-Henri Nargeolet and everyone who was on the Titan.
It's been more then 100 years and i have been following and watching every documentaries and articles about Titanic for the past 10 years yet the marvellous creations still not failed to excit me 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
for me growing up ... we never believed it would be found having sunk in a place to deep for men to explore. So for many years it had become one of our greatest tragic mysteries and then i remember the day it was announced it had been found and how shocked us all that the few stories of it breaking in half were true... which no one wanted to believe that such a large structure was capable of being broken that way when in fact it had. even the film Raise the titanic which is a classic raised her in the film in tact...
I like how they just discard numerous eye witness testimonies of survivors who literally saw the ship break apart on the surface before their eyes. “We know that you were there and saw it but just trust us-WE know better than you do. You didn’t see what you thought you saw.” 😆
I couldn't agree more... Col. Archibald Gracie, a survivor from 1st class, wrote a book of not only his own experience but also a compilation of other survivor accounts. A truly fascinating read! Many people reported the ship breaking apart and a sound like near continuous distant artillery after the stern left the surface. Such a dismissive analysis on the part of the documentary!
I was in bank robbery pointed at with a gun with multiple of my colleagues. If there wasnt the video footage of the robbery itself, each of us would describe the robber differently including color of his clothes etc. People facing terror are giving misleading testimonies and description. I didnt believe it, until it happened to me too. Now you realize when there is catastrophic event, it always leaves whole scale of stories what actually had happened.
@@paveldrumev2117 You described it much better. Happy you were not hurt. I was going to include similar. One can ask ten people who saw an incident together. And you will hear ten different descriptions. It is one reason eye witnesses are unreliable. 😉
The ship may have broke at the surface as depicted in the video, and remained hinged together part way down to the bottom, the keel and the double bottom were probably the strongest part of the ship
I watched the whole entire “Drain the oceans” during the pandemic. It is fascinating/scary and I had dreams about it almost every day. 😬 I still recommend it. Very good series.
I’m not completely through this video yet 17:07 but it was just said that Titanic was buried in the ocean floor the depth of a 6 story building. When you say there is no gash visible in the hull, wouldn’t it make sense the gash happened under the water line and would be in the part of the ship buried in the ocean floor? This is amazing technology and its very cool, just wondering about that part of Titanic that is buried.
I,m currently working at The Titanic Exhibit in NYC this is homework for me and my coworkers to help visitors understand and respect the ship and victims.
15:15 Paul-Henri Nargeolet was a French deep sea explorer and Titanic expert. Known as "Mr. Titanic", Nargeolet was one of five people who died aboard the submersible Titan when it imploded underwater on 18 June 2023 close to the wreck of the Titanic.
@@JetPackDinoironically, the older guy that's been going to titanic for 30 years, PH Nargeolet is one of the people in the sub. I'm pretty sure that's what they said. Sad, he is one of the foremost authorities! May God hold them in the palm of His hand!
Luck had to do with some, but many were just prevented from entering the lifeboats, mainly men. And many men, women and children were sealed off and died in the 3rd class decks, so were never given a choice. And to further the tragedy, in the panic and chaos, the lifeboats weren't efficiently utilized, as it's esitmated another 500 people could have been fitted into them and saved.
The scariest part for me in a situation like this is not knowing how far down the ocean floor is. The people on the titanic when it sunk had no idea they were 13,000 feet above any ocean floor.
It could have been 300 feet down to the ocean floor and it wouldnt have mattered either way ~ when you have no lifeboat and are stranded in ice water its only a matter of minutes before you die of hypothermia. A survivor of the ice water described the water as 1000 knives stabbing you at the same time
@@DongThanh0000 Actually, a survivor said that long before the movie was made. The Jack character was a composite of a few ppl that had traveled on that ship
There is soo much that we hear about the ship. Actually seeing it makes the whole thing more human, less myth. It’s both heartbreaking and fascinating at the same time. Wonderful special, National Geographic. ❤️
EXTRAORDINARY... and what we have come to expect of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. From the bottom of the hearts of those who always seek to reach BEYOND... THANK YOU!
This is so fascinating and history rich. I'm indifferent if it was to be left alone as a burial site or retrieved all the artefacts for purpose of history. But notwithstanding, this is a great document. Thank you, Nat Geo Wild, for this great documentary.
The Titanic wreck is truly an amazing time capsule, but is a constant reminder of the poor people that witnessed the tragedy and lost their lives. Gone but certainly not forgotten. But, this also shows the craftsmanship and the quality that went into this piece of equipment in the early 1900's. If a ship built today could be placed there in 1912 it would have been a stain on the ocean floor 50 years ago.
I went to a museum in Gatlinburg about this event and it had a pool thing you can dip your hands in to feel how could the water truly was and it really puts the reality in to you of how much those unlucky enough to end up in the water alive.....floating praying to god they would make it.
With respect to the dead and the fact that the wreck is a grave, I still think effort should be made to explore the interior of the bow and retrieve artifacts and belongings before the ship collapses and all relics are lost. To save and preserve the personal items found in the wreck and on the debris field, to uphold the memory of those lost, otherwise it will turn to rot and be gone. Every relic preserved tells a story worth pondering.
Fascinating! Thanks for doing this presentation NG. I am interested in the Titanic because my great great aunt and her 4 children were lost on the Titanic.
15:14 I think this is one of the men who died on the Titan Sub accident last Sunday June 25th. How strange that he now rests with those who lost their lives on Titanic more than a century before his demise. Paul-Henry Nargeolet
It's great to have the technology available to see her as she looks today and how she will most likely look in another hundred years. What I wish they would have included in these recreations would be to use their animation skills to recreate how she would have looked exactly at the time of her sinking. I'm sure it would have been much different than how she is looking today.
I agree. My imagination tries to place her at the time of impact. Sand billowing and items trailing behind.... Its facinating. But extremely heartbreaking.
Many eyewitnesses saw it break in half above water. I think as it sank, it completely broke free further down, and stern started to spin, causing it to break apart, then ship debris and personal contents scattered. That explains the smaller debris area. I always wonder about the people and who may have been locked in their rooms as the ship sank. How much of it they experienced before they drowned or were crushed. That must have been terrifying, being in complete darkness, in deep freezing cold ocean, and just going down. That really bothers me a lot.
@@1pepper67 There were several life boats with many wittnesses . And some swore it went down in one piece. As with anything. If you have ten wittnesses you will have ten different versions. I imagine they drowned soon as water rushed in. Then to think about those locked in the steerage not completely understanding what happened. And the stokers? Those clinging to the deck knowing what is coming. I think this is why we may be so facinated after so many decades. The confidence and ill prepared crew with no training in safety or survival. Not enough life boats and young boys being declared men! A major stain on humanity that sticks with us. 😢
@@tessaducek5601 women stated it split. men said it did not. womens accounts were not taken seriously until much much later on when more science became available...
Anyone else watching this after being immersed in missing submersible "Titan" on its way to take tourists to see "Titanic"? I've seen it loads of times, but wanted to watch again given the current situation. Praying all 5 are found safe and rescued alive!❤
Im sorry but im very sure they arent alive anymore
@@BiggestBubbas Yup, even if, rescue efforts would take way too much time..

No way bless their souls they already dead as right now
yep me
Started watching this today since the Oceangate tragedy occurred. This is a fantastic documentary and seeing Paul Henri Nagreolet in it was a bonus. He was obviously very passionate about the Titanic.
What they did with computer graphics here was stunning!
I too doing same thing, I think this titanic ship is cursed, for this ship to continue claiming lives after 100 years on the same crash site is unreal, who can ever think this ship sitting can claim any other life on the same location it sank in , ! This is really crazy
Cheers
Now he will forever be linked to the Titanic.
There part of the tour now. I wonder how they was able to tell the difference between the debris also?…came up with that story pretty quick. Like as soon as the oxygen ran out..
Eerie to see one of the Titan dead is actually in this documentary.
Now he is part of the wreck he was so obsessed with.
Even after a century the story of Titanic never fails to fascinate us. I've always loved the documentaries on RMS Titanic. A ship like no other !!! Thank you Nat Geo for uploading this.
We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the special!❤
Didnt it have a sister ship that was very similar?
@@dana102083 It had 2. The olimpic was the first one and even finished a year before the titanic, that was why the titanic was nothing special until it sank. The brittanic was the last sister ship and sunk after ramming into a german mine. The wreck is near greece and can be reached by divers. The olympic sunk a german submarine in WWI and after the war was converted back to passenger service. The ship was than scrapped in 1936 if i'm right.
@@dana102083 Actually, there were two sister ships, the Olympic and Britannic.
@@friendlyreptile9931 thank you, I watched a video on german mines but couldnt remember the details except the connection to the titanic. 🙏
This documentary is absolutely captivating, and having Paul Henri Nagreolet featured in it was a delightful surprise. His profound passion for the Titanic was truly evident throughout.
i saw things wrong with it, but then again, it is from 2016. the animation seems to raise the stern out of the water at 45 degrees, it doesnt mention the double bottom, and they dont mention the eye witness reports that did see it break up, and if it broke that close to the bottom
RIP Nagreolet
agreed
@@ElysiaWhitemoonOmegaYou clearly have no clue what you're talking about
@LucasMoore88 The Titanic didn't break up at a 45 degree angle but more so a 20 to 30 degree. The Titanic's hull boasted a double bottom, but it had only a single wall on the sides.
The 17 year old that didn't survive hurts. His notebook still legible. Unbelievable.
This kind of information being released free of viewing to the people after all costs incurred in research and development is so awesome of you guys. You deserve more. Thanks Nat Geo❤️
They didn’t do it for free by the kindness of their heart. You paid for it and didn’t even know it
None of this is new… they’ve just recycled old information and added sunlight and a desert background to the old 3D models they did in the 1990s 🙄

Seeing Mr. Nargeolet in this documentary and his passion for the Titanic, I believe that he is resting forever near the place he loved so dearly. Just as every victim of the Titanic, he will be immortalized in that dark, still, quiet place forever.
Paul Henre Nargeimplosion
I remember driving cross country with my father in the mid 1980s, right after the Titanic was discovered. He was in the iron and steel business, and having grown up in the Soviet Union and Iran, had never heard of the Titanic. I told him about the iceberg having opened a gash in the side of the ship, and he looked at me incredulously and said, "that is impossible. You just can't cut one inch thick steel with ice." He then proceeded to explain how ships of the era were made of steel places that were riveted together, and he said what probably happened was that the iceberg distorted some of the steel plates and popped the rivets, and water was able to get in between the plates. He was a pretty smart guy!
Woah!
My Father was a steam engineer on the Great Lakes when the Edmond Fitzgerald went down. He had been aboard the Fitz with the Coast Gaurd inspector. The inspctor asked my Father what he thought about how sea wortht she was.. He told the inspector that it was braced a hands width to far apart. He told the C G inspecter that it would go down in a heavy sea. After the Edmond Fitzgerald sank my Father never boared another ship.
yes i agree. the ice didnt break the ship
@@wofakkthe ice sank the ship. It broke in half just before the end.
Rest in peace, Paul-Henri Nargeolet and your passion for ocean exploration and the titanic. You did what you loved to do up until now. You will never be forgotten along with the other 4 passengers in the sub ❤
What are you talking about? Did he pass away?
@@bennypit4411he was disappeared in his 31st trip to titanic as reported say submarine imploded
@@bennypit4411
He was one of the passengers aboard the submersible that went on an expedition for the titanic last Sunday. It has been confirmed that an implosion happened with the submersible based on what the reports are telling us. It's truly a tragic loss. Thoughts are with their family and friends during this time
Unbelievable to know that Paul is no more.. His death like those 1500 unlucky passengers will be the big mystery.
@@Saaad2it’s not really a mystery. We know the submersible he was in imploded and people on titanic died from hypothermia and drowning. Mystery solved. 😂
The story that most broke my heart is that of Edgardo Samuel Andrew. The fact that at 17, he left by himself to travel the vast ocean to a completely new continent and country in 3rd class. I can’t imagine his fear as the ship was partially submerged, realizing that in fact it was going down but at 17 he did not constitute as a child, and therefore could not receive a seat on a lifeboat. He had to die alone on that ship, wondering if anyone would ever know his story. He may have been one of the unfortunate souls who were trapped underneath, which is a far more horrifying way to die. God bless those 1500 souls ❤

He must have fought for the seat
How could these vehicles go down that far without incident, im talking about this one’s taking videos of this cursed ship,?
Cheers
@@qalba3016they didnt cut corners when it came to safety, and seem to have respected the power the ocean wields. Stockton Rush seemed like he felt smarter than everyone and almost seemed to laugh and scoff at people who crossed their T's and dotted their I's following safety regulations. Kinda seems typical in billionare CEOs.
lol who cares
Makes me feel so fortunate. My grandfather came from Germany to America at age 11 on the St.Louis in 1897. He did acheive his American dream. I've never found interiors of the ship. It was destroyed in 1924 after some service in WWI.
Rest in peace to Paul-Henri Nargeolet. He was one of the scientists inside that Titan Sub that got lost at sea :(
According to what they’re saying, it looks like the sub imploded. Which means it was instantaneous and painless. So at least they didn’t suffer
Just noticed that wow rip PH
Now he gets to rest for eternity down there with the ship he loved for so long. 😢 Crazy
There was a lady who was a child at the time and saw the Titanic break in half as it went under, no one believed her, men who weren't even there telling her she was mistaken. 75 years or so later she was proved right. I'm glad she lived to experience that vindication.
After this sub crash and knowing the details of the CEO type character, I think in few years we will witness a new engineer going try to find a way to emptying the Atlantic Ocean around this cursed ship , may be a 1sq mile radius, people especially the arrogant types can go way too far
@@qalba3016emptying part of the ocean in the very middle where its 13,000ft deep is physically impossible. Even if every human, resource and dollar was spent trying, its impossible, so no worries.
I heard about her earlier this week. I’m happy to know she lived long enough to be proven correct.
Eva hart is her name. She was 7
Me too...and now this guy is say it broke apart further down....I believe the lady❤
RIP PH Nargeolet. Dedicated his adult life to researching the ship and has been laid to rest with the very thing that captured his curiosity. I have to imagine he had a different view than most on life and death. 36 or something missions to the Titanic is the definition of rolling the dice but he did it anyway. A rare, true modern day explorer. It's a shame that so many people are making light of this situation. Whether it was foolish to get on that shoddy submersible or not, those 5 men are now in a watery grave and should be treated with the respect of the dead.
Did they resect the graveyard called Titanic
Why should the dead be respected any more than the living?
We go to cemeteries.. people dive ship wrecks all the time. @@JANTROBOJANTROUBLE
Some things should not be played with we already have so much footage and memorabilia from the titanic why keep going down there gambling with your life ? The only one I feel bad for is the 19 year old
He died doing what he loves. He is one with the titanic.
My heart still breaks for all those people who died, especially the children. How terrifying that must have been for the kids. 😢

I went with my parents to a special Titanic exhibit in Seattle once and I was mesmerised. I was always hooked on it since then. this documentary is incredible!
I was excited that they found the Titanic. I'm thrilled that they ha e the exhibit of Titanic. It is still a beautiful ship no matter how bad she looks. My opinion my past life I was on that ship. Who knows.
Try the museum pigeon forge, TN or Branson, MO
My family went on a field trip with our Homeschool group right when the movie came out, on The Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. It was so eerie as a 14 year old. I was MADLY obsessed with the Titanic at the time. But, I don't think my young brain was able to understand the gravity or just the fact that these people were truly real, just like my family. It was so beautiful!! And so interesting!! Definitely one of my most cherished memories!! ❤
Me too!! It was amazing. The ice berg was incredible

Titanic 2 anxiety
What’s saddest now is seeing and hearing P. H. Nargeolet in this documentary and knowing he isn’t with us anymore because of a similar tragedy at the same location. It is probably how the contemporaries of Titanic victims felt when they learned of the original tragedy... The people were alive a few days ago and then they are gone. RIP
Rest in peace Paul-Henri Nargeolet. You did so much to advance our knowledge and understanding of this event.
The patience of all involved in recreating the sinking is Huge. How meticulous going over that much data, then recreating it on a 3D model, etc. How exciting that must have been.
Scientists can be rather obsessive, not patient. Like Sheldon Cooper’s character portrayed as being on the spectrum. Hyper-focussed, obsessive over details, OCD, etc.
Something very unsettling about the titanic dry & out in the sunlight. Invokes a haunting and disconnected emotion that I can’t quite relate to anything else
An interesting family story. My grandfather was supposed to be on the titanic. As far as I was told, he had a reservation but missed it because he slept in to long. He probably was pretty poor at the time, so it's likely that he would have been sealed in the lower levels if when the ship went down. Our whole family line would have ended there if he hadn't made that mistake. Hurray for sleeping in I guess?
He ended up taking the next ship over, which thankfully did not sink.
My family too has a similar story... my grandmother refused to go declaring they were "spitting in God's face".... their children wanted to go, but my grandfather said "momma says no, it's no".... and hear are all of us, their decendents, alive and well because my grandmother had a bad feeling about it!!! 😊❤
@@theresehopkins1581 That's crazy! Sounds like she had a good head on her shoulders.
I heard that they were making bold claims about how not even God could sink it. I think a lesson is to be learned here.
fake and made up
Why do I feel that I have heard this family story before?
@@codybersicc7939 It's not fake and made up. Same thing with my family but my grandfather was actually on the Titanic, he was 6 years old and sadly he didn't make it. Have some spect.
This was absolutely fascinating! When the narrator said that sunlight would hit her decks once more I teared up 🚢☀️ It never ceases to blow my mind what science can do.
it looks good, but its old (2016) and it has multiple things wrong. it doesnt mention the double bottom, or the eye witness that saw it break up, and if it broke near the bottom, why is the bow so far away
@@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega - yup. double bottom. She probably snapped on the surface, the bow sinking first, pulling the stern down and that double bottom held the two together by a thread until it finally gave way... my guess is somewhere around 5000 ft. that would satisfy both the eyewitness accounts and support the smaller debris field.
we will probably never know for sure....
I WONDER IF TITANIC HAD A KNOCKING SHOP ON BOARD?
Rest in peace Paul-Henry Naugeolot🌾, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thank you National Geographics for educating us 🙏🏻
I don't think interest will ever be lost on the Titanic - more than a Century later, it still fascinates.
true
Agreed. The story if the Titanic is one that I’ve been fascinated with ever since I was a kid.
just like JESUS CHRIST
Beeb beeb
@@straightmanforever69 boop
The story of the Titanic will never get old to me. Such a fascinating tragedy. The amount of things that had to go just perfectly wrong in order for this incident to have occurred is one in a million (or more). If one single thing had gone differently, the Titanic very well may not have been brought down. Its just crazy.
Everybody was so negligente. Whoever said, "God cant sink this ship" was thinking with their ego.
Lol, I don't think it was 1 in a million, they smashed into a freaking iceberg!
@@BoomShakalaka777 It seems that simple but it really wasn’t. There was so many factors that allowed the ship to not only hit the ice berg in the first place but also sink, and sink as quickly as it did.
@@airyowo First of all it was very likely to happen given the route it was taking in Iceberg infested waters and second as the documentary clearly shows it went down in 2 1/2 hours, not minutes!
hy
It was during late 90''s I heard about Titanic, It's been long ago I watched the Titanic movie, that time it was just for the sake of watching movie...But after recent incident curiosity started to grow exponentially. Watching documentary related to Titanic since last couple of days. What an iconic piece of history with mixtures of almost all emotions: it will keep fascinating the masses for the many years to come.
I’ve watched close to 40 documentaries on the Titanic and THIS one has photos and video clip that I have never seen before, especially the excitement in real time of those who first discovered the wreckage. National Geographic is unrivaled. They stand supreme. Thanks Nat Geo ❤
What channel did you watch?

I love shows like this. Out of 45 minutes of running time, at least 30 will show you the same frames and repeat the same phrases. So that the viewers who have gone to pee during the advertisement do not miss anything. In fact, the entire 45-minute issue can be edited into about a 5-minute video and show absolutely everything that is contained in the program.

I just had the same thought!
typical NatGeo garbage
Same here!
So true. I kept thinking why is he saying the same thing over and over again that we already heard lol
I say leave it be. The money that would be spent trying to preserve the Titanic is better spent protecting the oceans or cleaning it.
This was a great doc and the forensic science here is amazing.
Love all the Drain the Oceans episode. In some sense they are interesting than learning about other planets. Our oceans hold so much history and information.
Yep it definitely is!
No doubt, these are really special.
Deff more interesting than learning about space. I mean we already know more about space than our own oceans.
At 12,400 feet of depth, the pressure is very roughly about 400 to 500 times the pressure at sea level. It is astounding that the little jar of perfume is still intact, especially considering that it may have decelerated against a wall. And I have heard, I think, that someone recovered a bottle of wine from the wreck - intact. For that matter, it's surprising to me that ceramic would not fragment along weaker lines in its composition, something like the crazed ceramic common at sea level and above.
Yea i dont understand how any of the artifacts survived the pressures under water 2miles down?! The perfume bottles and anything glass or ceramic would’ve been crushed. I went to the Titanic exhibit when it was going to different museums around the country in 2012 100 year anniversary. They had so many personal items, like eyeglasses, mens shaving kits, hair and toothbrushes, clothing etc etc it was really an interesting exhibit but sad at the same time knowing all those items belonged to people really hits u hard. Especially when they had some kids clothing and shoes.
I was 16 yrs old when Titanic was found. It was such a massive event!! I grew up facatined about her. It's sad to know she will be gone in my lifetime. RIP to all the Souls lost that night in April 1912. 🛳🛳🛳🛳⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Those bacteria breaking down the ship break down every metal object that's ever been lost at sea. Everything in this world, even our own bodies, one day returns to the Earth from which it was born. Such is the way of this mortal life.
That's deep.
@@heenanyou and beautifully put.
Well not every... Because those organisms aren't everywhere In the ocean
further proof that nothing lasts forever.
Save the planet 🌎
Since I’m posting after the Titan incident, I haven’t gone through all the comments. But, with the points made about the ship breaking up nearer to the bottom doesn’t jive with the previous assertion that the stern must’ve twisted all the way down, causing the tracks and other evidence. I know we have a lot to learn, and it’s unlikely we will ever know for sure, but I found those two diametrically opposed. Did anyone else notice that? Or maybe I missed an explanation.
With much respect for the loss of innocent lives, like Edgardo (Sam), the 17 year old with his whole life ahead of him, I thank you for sharing stories of people that were not rich or famous, but had value. Rest well, to all lost in that tragic day.
I did. Also how is it supposed to accelerate to 50mph if not over a great distance? I believe the debris field is bigger, the outer objects simply are smaller and covered in silt for a long time already.
Rest in peace PH. Thanks for all you did in the research of the Titanic.
Im very pleased these episodes are made available. Not everyone has cable or satellite. Thanks.
Agreed!
Thank you so much National Geographic for giving such an In depth look at this tragic disaster. Thanks to you the titanic will never be truly lost.
May all those lost souls sleep in peace, and may those who survived to this day, be at peace an comfort. It's extremely hard having to experience this type of disaster😭😭🇹🇹
I cannot believe some people think they drained the ocean.
I think they should bring up as many artifacts as they can. The notebook surviving is incredible.
I mean the way the narrator kept saying "drained the ocean" had me doubting myself lol dawg just say 3D model it's okay
exactly... world is full of mysterious
Its a gravesite, time to LET IT GO!
@@fitnesspoint2006 Exactly! It's bad enough the MSM is getting carried away w/their banner headlines, the "Titanic" took 5 more lives in referencing the incident aboard the submersible considering they were paying tourists, going to gawk at a gravesite that's been turned into an adventure destination for the wealthy (for their conversation starters at their fancy dinner parties) but they died in the blink of an eye, as opposed to the victims aboard the Titanic who suffered at death's door for 2 1/2 hrs before being plunged into the icy waters to suffer for up to 45 min. before succumbing to hypothermia.
RIP to all people and animals who died aboard the Titanic.🌹❤
Most people in the world today are easily vulnerable to deception
Titanic is not the deadliest disaster at sea, but it has resonated with people for over 100 years. I feel like bringing up artifacts allows us to get a glimpse at Titanic's glamour. I do understand it is a gravesite for 1,500 people, but people still want to be able to see how beautiful the ship really was. Whenever I see the 1997 movie, it does really make you think, this was a deal disaster, and 1,500 people really did lose their life. I wish I could have seen this beautiful liner in her day.
You can see how beautiful the ship was. They took her sister, Olympic's first class lounge and grand staircase and put it in a hotel in England. Go see that, and stop grave robbing.
@@benzalkionium It's not grave robbing, genius! They died on the ocean's surface. There have never been any bodies on the ocean floor. If you want to preserve where they died, you would have to cordon off a section of the surface of the ocean.
@@protoborg "They died on the ocean's surface. There have never been any bodies on the ocean floor"
Most of them died on the ocean surface but what do you think happened to people after they died? That's right, their bodies drowned. In the Titanic debris field there are many personal items like shoes that were used by people. Sure bodies are long gone but they certainly reached the bottom.
@kamils8516 The bodies never made it to the ocean floor. At that depth the bodies would be crushed to dust from the pressure well before making it to the bottom.
@@protoborg given that there were 3rd pass passengers who got locked below deck along with the crew in the boiler rooms, their bodies would have gone down with the ship. However, no physical remains would be left due to the deep sea pressures.
Seeing this now feels tragic in a different way. R.I.P. to PH Nargeolet. At least he died doing something he was completely passionate about.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,😢,,😢😢,,
There's like 10-15 minutes of actual content in this 44+ minute video. Legacy media can't die quickly enough.
Yes, exactly, Not what one would expect from National Geographic/ Extremely manipulative for a "documentary." I will say the 3d graphics are well done. More like edutainment, with music that would easily fit a horror drama and other heart string pulls. I'm not one who likes his "science" served up so spicY.

@@fubarmodelyard1392 I know they only had an hour but they should have slowed the swooping views down. It would have been nice to see some detail instead of flashing by as if in a car on a freeway
It's really amazing how much technology has evolved within the past 100 years. The fact that the entire site has been scanned digitally and will forever be preserved is just astonishing.
Once nanobots get better they will be able to get the insides in detail
If the internet goes away then all that info is gone for good, this stuff isn’t preserved forever at all
@@FimbongBassYour point? If the Earth goes away then all that info is gone for good lol. Preserveration doesn't mean it has to account for all unlikely scenarios to happen, just that it has to be preserved to the best of modern standards. Nothing really is truly permanent, but the internet is close.
In 1901 the Wright brothers got the first airplane into the air.
40 something years later we were dropping an atomic bomb out of a B-29 Superfortress at 31,000 feet.
The craziest thing in our lifetime is going to be the evolution of artificial intelligence. Humans are going to involve themselves out of existence in the matter of about 300 or so years depending on when you start counting I count the Industrial Revolution onward
@@FimbongBassgood thing we’ll still have written documents
Every graveyard has the potential to become an archaeological site. To honor the fallen and to learn from past mistakes. I would love to see it preserved
Well you better start planning because it's not going to be down there forever thanks to some iron eating bacteria dissolving it in a rapid pace.
How do you preserve it when eventually it will be gone
By now I feel like if they took it out that it would disintegrate
Thing is is how do you preserve the real ship and not just on some digital device
They have to go down there with remote bots and have them installed with instruments that can remove these organisms but the pressure is so great down there and messing with the ship may cause more damage.
Sadly ironic- I watched this for the first time just a couple of days before the OceanGate submersible went missing. Paul-Henry Nargeolet is onboard. As I’m writing this, the submersible has still not been found. 😢
I wil never get tired of watching anything concerning the Titanic ❤
Me neither.
The fact survivors said the ship split in half and years later when it was found it was split in half makes me believe it split at the surface.
I've never heard that fact disputed..
Actually it was pitch dark, the electricity went out just before the breakup, the survivors just saw a faint outline
@@piyushkanthak1087 Actually, a few random backup/generator lights remained on.according to many survivors.
@@jsmith034086 yes they were on, but they were not enough to illuminate the entire ship, the survivors couldn't figure out exactly what was happening with the ship
I feel the same way. But I suppose it's possible that the two pieces never fully broke apart until closer to the bottom. James Cameron explained the splitting with a banana and how the bottom of the ship would have remained in tact after the split.
RIP Paul- Henri. The world has lost a brilliant explorer and human being.
Just found out he passed away last week. May he rest in peace 🙏🏾
Edit: I just realized he was one of the people involved in the titan impulsion 💔
Is it just me but I don't understand why we are so obsessed about what will happen to the Titanic wreck in 1000 years? Explorers and scientists have studied it in depth, brought artifacts and large pieces up from the bottom of the ocean and even built a 3-D digital twin of the sunken ship for all to behold. When is it enough to just let it be and let the souls there Rest In Peace? And for people to stop risking their lives to be near it? We have learned all that we can about this lost ship.
Rest easy, Paul-Henry. Sad to watch this right now.

Yes it was a betrayal that happend with money and somthign been cooking for awhile and they wanted them killed 🧿🪬
And didn't cost lives
37:38 P.H. Nargeolet was one of the ones who perished on the Titan, the OceanGate sub. He was an experienced seaman and diver. Bless all the souls that died in the sub and on the Titanic. I'm sad that the OceanGate owner didn't take safety certification seriously. He was warned and fired the employee who sounded the alarm. Both of these tragedies could have been prevented. That is what is so hard to take.
Most ships you hear took minutes to sink
Titanic took 2 hours & 40 minutes, taking her last breath after waiting for as long as she could for passengers to safely leave
Maybe she was okay with being a tomb for those who couldn't get on a lifeboat
She wouldn't go down without a fight, a true titan in my book

Unfortunate not Rip to everyone who died in that expedition
My local library during their move to digital had dozens of NatGeo's they were getting rid of (Physical copies). One of my first objectives when I learned of this, was digging through to 1985 and finding the copy of Nat Geo with the discovery of Titanic by Dr. Robert Ballard. I have it inside a keepsake and on display at my apartment as a prized possession. No regrets at all.
Im jealous
I was serving on my 1st ship, the USS Moosbrugger (DD-980) when the Titanic was finally found. Somewhere, I have the NatGeo covering that event. Over the years, during my Naval career, I have been right over the Titanic (literally). The last time was back in 1994, I was able to see the location of the wreck pinpointed on a digital chart, and my ship was right on top of it.
Rest in peace Paul Henri. Your devotion to get answers to the mystery will forever be remembered. 🙏
The most famous shipwreck in the world, the Titanic. I'll never forget how this documentation changed people's mind and to make us realized the importance of life
I hear the Titanic is the world's 6th-deepest known shipwreck at 12,467ft/3800m
it's so strange to see P.H. Nargeolet in this video knowing that he just died in a submersible.
I don't know what it is about this ship, but it makes me so emotional just looking at it every time I see it.
Excellent documentary! This scan advances scientific & archeological studies in ways we could never have done exploring the actual wreck site. Phenomenal amount of information and clarity were acquired by the UAV imaging. Thanks for sharing this.
I enjoy watching programs about this ship. They are interesting. I always walk away with the feeling that human beings are arrogant, but are humbled every single time.
I believe they should get as many artifacts as they can. It would be a shame to have these pieces of history lost forever.
And destroy by the ocean they should bring as much before it be lost too the sea forever
After all the years I've followed anything Titanic, each documentary I watch is just as educational, captivating and heartbreaking as if hearing about it for the first time. And each time, one can only hope, THIS time they will miss the iceberg. All those people....... and a domino effect of events that led to that horrible tragedy. 😥🕊🌹🙏👼 RIP Paul-Henri Nargeolet and everyone who was on the Titan.
The fact that the notebook lasted, in a very well persevered state, is incredible.

I just love watching documentaries
RIP Paul-Henri Nargeolet He was on the Titan submersible and now lives with us in this documentary
It's been more then 100 years and i have been following and watching every documentaries and articles about Titanic for the past 10 years yet the marvellous creations still not failed to excit me 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
for me growing up ... we never believed it would be found having sunk in a place to deep for men to explore. So for many years it had become one of our greatest tragic mysteries and then i remember the day it was announced it had been found and how shocked us all that the few stories of it breaking in half were true... which no one wanted to believe that such a large structure was capable of being broken that way when in fact it had. even the film Raise the titanic which is a classic raised her in the film in tact...
So eerie to watch this realising one of the explorers in this is one of the guys now trapped in the ocean gate submarine
Fantastic documentary really enjoyed it. The part where it disappeared into the sand is so surreal. Dust to dust. Peace and love from South Africa
I like how they just discard numerous eye witness testimonies of survivors who literally saw the ship break apart on the surface before their eyes.
“We know that you were there and saw it but just trust us-WE know better than you do. You didn’t see what you thought you saw.” 😆
I couldn't agree more... Col. Archibald Gracie, a survivor from 1st class, wrote a book of not only his own experience but also a compilation of other survivor accounts. A truly fascinating read! Many people reported the ship breaking apart and a sound like near continuous distant artillery after the stern left the surface. Such a dismissive analysis on the part of the documentary!
Thank you for writing this comment.
I literally scrolled down the comment section to see if anyone had commented on it.
I was in bank robbery pointed at with a gun with multiple of my colleagues. If there wasnt the video footage of the robbery itself, each of us would describe the robber differently including color of his clothes etc. People facing terror are giving misleading testimonies and description. I didnt believe it, until it happened to me too. Now you realize when there is catastrophic event, it always leaves whole scale of stories what actually had happened.
@@paveldrumev2117 You described it much better.
Happy you were not hurt.
I was going to include similar.
One can ask ten people who saw an incident together. And you will hear ten different descriptions.
It is one reason eye witnesses are unreliable.
😉
The ship may have broke at the surface as depicted in the video, and remained hinged together part way down to the bottom, the keel and the double bottom were probably the strongest part of the ship
This is one of the coolest things I have ever watched. Amazing, incredible. Great job everyone involved!!!
Draining the ocean to finally solve the mystery is just such a beautiful and wonderful thing that i have ever seen.
My eyes got stuck on one person in this documentary and he is Mr Paul-Henry. I've watched this documentary before but this time it hits different.
I watched the whole entire “Drain the oceans” during the pandemic. It is fascinating/scary and I had dreams about it almost every day. 😬 I still recommend it. Very good series.
I’m not completely through this video yet 17:07 but it was just said that Titanic was buried in the ocean floor the depth of a 6 story building. When you say there is no gash visible in the hull, wouldn’t it make sense the gash happened under the water line and would be in the part of the ship buried in the ocean floor?
This is amazing technology and its very cool, just wondering about that part of Titanic that is buried.
I was wondering and confused by that as well.
I,m currently working at The Titanic Exhibit in NYC this is homework for me and my coworkers to help visitors understand and respect the ship and victims.
I’m going before it closes. Can’t wait!
RIP PH… Sorry it took this disaster for the world to recognize your contributions to the ocean community. Your peers speak extremely high of you
So excited about this episode! I clicked the link so hard to watch this!!! Thank you !!
15:15 Paul-Henri Nargeolet was a French deep sea explorer and Titanic expert. Known as "Mr. Titanic", Nargeolet was one of five people who died aboard the submersible Titan when it imploded underwater on 18 June 2023 close to the wreck of the Titanic.
As fascinating as the technology is, it is haunting that this is a graveyard for those who weren't lucky enough to find their way into a lifeboat.
And those people in the sub. 😔
@veezouptown4148 It really is. Very little hope for them at this point I guess.
@@JetPackDinoironically, the older guy that's been going to titanic for 30 years, PH Nargeolet is one of the people in the sub. I'm pretty sure that's what they said. Sad, he is one of the foremost authorities! May God hold them in the palm of His hand!
Luck had to do with some, but many were just prevented from entering the lifeboats, mainly men. And many men, women and children were sealed off and died in the 3rd class decks, so were never given a choice. And to further the tragedy, in the panic and chaos, the lifeboats weren't efficiently utilized, as it's esitmated another 500 people could have been fitted into them and saved.
yep...All those shoes are all that's left of those that went down with the ship...very sobering
The scariest part for me in a situation like this is not knowing how far down the ocean floor is. The people on the titanic when it sunk had no idea they were 13,000 feet above any ocean floor.
It could have been 300 feet down to the ocean floor and it wouldnt have mattered either way ~ when you have no lifeboat and are stranded in ice water its only a matter of minutes before you die of hypothermia. A survivor of the ice water described the water as 1000 knives stabbing you at the same time
Ues I agree...so much we don't know about
@@PozorrogoJack Dawson said that
Its a gravesite, time to LET IT GO!
@@DongThanh0000 Actually, a survivor said that long before the movie was made. The Jack character was a composite of a few ppl that had traveled on that ship
There is soo much that we hear about the ship. Actually seeing it makes the whole thing more human, less myth. It’s both heartbreaking and fascinating at the same time. Wonderful special, National Geographic. ❤️
EXTRAORDINARY... and what we have come to expect of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
From the bottom of the hearts of those who always seek to reach BEYOND...
THANK YOU!
This is so fascinating and history rich. I'm indifferent if it was to be left alone as a burial site or retrieved all the artefacts for purpose of history. But notwithstanding, this is a great document. Thank you, Nat Geo Wild, for this great documentary.
The Titanic wreck is truly an amazing time capsule, but is a constant reminder of the poor people that witnessed the tragedy and lost their lives. Gone but certainly not forgotten. But, this also shows the craftsmanship and the quality that went into this piece of equipment in the early 1900's. If a ship built today could be placed there in 1912 it would have been a stain on the ocean floor 50 years ago.
Thanks to you guys and National Geographic for this information. Amazing.
I went to a museum in Gatlinburg about this event and it had a pool thing you can dip your hands in to feel how could the water truly was and it really puts the reality in to you of how much those unlucky enough to end up in the water alive.....floating praying to god they would make it.
Oh no, i got so much shivers at 15:30. Like come on i know what brought me here but i wasnt ready for this.
With respect to the dead and the fact that the wreck is a grave, I still think effort should be made to explore the interior of the bow and retrieve artifacts and belongings before the ship collapses and all relics are lost. To save and preserve the personal items found in the wreck and on the debris field, to uphold the memory of those lost, otherwise it will turn to rot and be gone. Every relic preserved tells a story worth pondering.
Technically, their grave site is the surface as most of those who died were floating in the water.
Fascinating! Thanks for doing this presentation NG. I am interested in the Titanic because my great great aunt and her 4 children were lost on the Titanic.
15:14 I think this is one of the men who died on the Titan Sub accident last Sunday June 25th. How strange that he now rests with those who lost their lives on Titanic more than a century before his demise. Paul-Henry Nargeolet
being a geophysicist, I love these documentaries dealing with sonar scanners and 3D modeling.
It's great to have the technology available to see her as she looks today and how she will most likely look in another hundred years. What I wish they would have included in these recreations would be to use their animation skills to recreate how she would have looked exactly at the time of her sinking. I'm sure it would have been much different than how she is looking today.
I agree. My imagination tries to place her at the time of impact. Sand billowing and items trailing behind.... Its facinating.
But extremely heartbreaking.
She won’t look like this in another hundred years, according to scientists, there will be nothing left of her at all within 30 years or so.
Many eyewitnesses saw it break in half above water. I think as it sank, it completely broke free further down, and stern started to spin, causing it to break apart, then ship debris and personal contents scattered. That explains the smaller debris area. I always wonder about the people and who may have been locked in their rooms as the ship sank. How much of it they experienced before they drowned or were crushed. That must have been terrifying, being in complete darkness, in deep freezing cold ocean, and just going down. That really bothers me a lot.
@@1pepper67 There were several life boats with many wittnesses . And some swore it went down in one piece. As with anything. If you have ten wittnesses you will have ten different versions.
I imagine they drowned soon as water rushed in.
Then to think about those locked in the steerage not completely understanding what happened.
And the stokers?
Those clinging to the deck knowing what is coming. I think this is why we may be so facinated after so many decades. The confidence and ill prepared crew with no training in safety or survival.
Not enough life boats and young boys being declared men!
A major stain on humanity that sticks with us. 😢
@@tessaducek5601 women stated it split. men said it did not. womens accounts were not taken seriously until much much later on when more science became available...
Simply Brilliant. I am so hooked to Drain the Oceans. Our Oceans and Seas has so much for us to learn about.
