An important note about the footage shown from my animation at 4:25 in the video, that was my attempt at animating the Roy Mengot breakup theory. I wasn't as familiar with animating at the time and well, things didn't turn out so well.
Surprisingly, nobody who was on the poop deck at the time (Thomas Patrick Dillon, Frank Prentice and possibly Charles Joughin) said anything about the sound that the ship made as is broke apart. The closest thing to that was Joughin's remark about hearing iron buckle while standing under the aft expansion joint at some point before heading aft.
I also want to point out that if a boiler explosion happened, we would have seen that in any of the boilers found in the aft end of the exposed areas on the bow section or in the debris field. All the boilers found in either location are intact so a boiler explosion is unlikely.
unless the boilers that exploded were in boiler room 3 or 4 which are not exposed. only 1s which are on the ocean floor and 2s which are in the bow section and exploded. the collapse of funnel 2 is supposedly why people think their was a boiler explosion and that was in 3 or 4s room.
This may be true, but I do still believe that the titanic broke underneath the 3rd funnel or just after it witch caused a small boiler explosion. My theory is also backed up by survivor testimonies.
@SaphireTheProtogen True, but they would have definitely still been hot. A rush of cold water against the hot steel of the boilers could crack them. Not sure if they would explode though, because as you said, they were already put out. All of the steam was vented at that time as well, right?
@SaphireTheProtogen yeah I figured I just wasn’t 100% sure. If the steam vents weren’t a thing, there would have been an explosion for sure, since the propellers came to a full stop and the steam had nowhere to go. But since there are the steam vents, an explosion is unlikely. I do agree with you about how the “sound of the boilers exploding” was most likely the ship breaking up under it’s own weight.
6:04 yes boi, there it is! Ok seriously now, it's incredible to see how many theories exist, most of them following the usual aft expansion joint top-down break theory though. It kinda just makes it feel that we are not even close to discover what really happened when the lights failed that night.
@@Wolfric_Rogers hello I made a theory,about it ,although mine was lazily done in FlipaClip as I don’t have a professional software ,but it would be neat if u featured mine maybe on the next one ,thanks,Kit Kat107
When I was much younger I also thought the James Cameron theory 2012 was how it actually sank (In two pieces) but after all these years it comes to show how many possible ways she could have snapped. Cool video. 👍
most people are forgetting that the fourth funnel was actually a dummy funnel, and the last boiler room was under the third funnel. so, when the titanic broke apart boiler room #1 (which was the last one) would have been instantly swamped. thus, with no steam to power the ship it is unlikely that the power would remain on for very long after the breakup.
This is simultaneously true and false. The fourth funnel didn't vent steam from the boilers, this is true. It was used to vent steam from the kitchens and galleys, as well as being used as a chimney for the only actual fireplace on the ship. It was stated by several passengers, however, that some lights remained on during and even after the breakup. This likely signifies that someone had started the emergency dynamos under the fourth funnel (it's other use was as an air vent for the engine room), which could run on less steam than the ship's main engines and so likely did keep certain lights burning until the very end. There was also the oil lantern on the ship's mainmast that likely didn't go out until it was submerged. So certain lights, especially dim deck lights, staying on is actually probably accurate.
The more popular is that the submerged bow sinks first to the ocean floor, leaving the stern to float for several minutes longer. The forward stern was filled with water, causing it to rise again in the air until it completely sinks.
The giant engines would have INSTANTLY caused a weight inbalance, leaving the stern to be pulled down by the head. Not to mention the break caused many watertight seals and bulkheads to break and twist, leaving them open for water to enter.
@@amaritineenthusiast According to the sources of this theory, the air in the still unsubmerged aft compartments caused the ship to hold for 10-15 minutes like a plug until at some point it began to flood, also the rear half was in a vertical shape and this ensured the ship's frontal balance.
I honestly agree with the low angle breakup, in “Part-Time Explorer” 5:10 even though it doesn’t make sense for the whole superstructure to completely fail at such a low angle. It can be the only way for nobody to think the ship split in two at the time.
I think the reason people didn’t think it split was because it was so dark. It was a moonless night and the sea was so calm that you couldn’t see anything other than the stars, the lights of the ship, and the reflection of both in the water. Since the power went out only a few moments before the break-up, the survivors would also be subject to night blindness for a minute or two, and the ship would have broke by then. The people say that they heard a boiler explosion, but many people believe that they were only hearing the hull and superstructure fail and come apart. You do have a good point, but I also don’t think the structure would fail at that angle.
I believe the weight of the titanic on the back end is just far to great. The fact all that water is holding down the front and the back being lifted out of the water causes far too much weight displacement. I believe the low angle split happened just that, because it was a low angle split and just tore at the first sign of overload on the back.
@@elyisusking3603 I believe what most people saw was the outline of the ship breaking apart through the stars, since you’d be able to see the black mass that was the ship cover up stars as the stern fell down. I recommend you watch Ocean Liner Design’s video titled ‘What did Titanic’s Break Up Really Look Like?’, it shows pretty clearly what I mean if you didn’t understand what I said. Not a very easy thing to put into words lol
I still don't understand why those who came up with their own theory made some of the lights on the Titanic light up after it split apart, survivors claim that in the final seconds all the lights went out until the Titanic plunged into the sea
Testimonies of some still recalled having lights on after the break, those were the emergency dynamos, or lights, they would stay on for 30s or even a Minute
There was still residual pressure within the system as it doesn't all escape at once unlike compressed air and the dynamos would have retained some spin for a short period of time allowing for the lights to slowly dim off rather than going off all at once. In some rare instances modern systems have acted the same as the case was with the big quake in Japan back in 2011 where parts of the grid went out of synch then gradually flickered out and one can still find videos of this happening here on YT usually from around the Sendai area.
The sparks are possible, they have to be under the very top deck to not be visible to anyone also to prove my point more is that heavy wires have a large number of volts going through them so when they break they COULD have sparks
3:55 “How do the funnels fall in opposite direction?” The answer for that is extremely simple, the speed of the break up somewhat pushed the 3rd funnel to collapse ahead of it, the funnel was stressed due to the break up anyway. The 4th funnel fell behind it and you already know why.

I think people come up with lots of theories when we got all evidence based on the wreck and the eye witnesses accounts , the double bottom pieces are interesting , they both ends are bend looks like they bent agains each other’s which could indicates that they failed first but was still attached slightly , the upper decks and side wall hull was still attached and started to bend heavily and then twisted and broke making the ship separate in half , which was visible by them , the funnels like James Cameron depicted after they fell cuz of the tilt they remained attached till the ship started to dive down pulling all the Davits which are all gone but the forward one in bow wreckage
@@therealspeedwagon1451 u talking about the movie ?? I believe it’s totally wrong , the break up location is located right in front or underneath the 3rd funnel since the bow wreck ain’t long enough to fit 3rd funnel , the angle is also wrong 😑, the movie made it looks like 75 degree 📜 which is way too much for the hull, his 2012 new theory it is close but based on the break line of the aft bow , the mangled twisted steel doesn’t show clean break , it looked like the titanic bent heavily before break up , which in pitch black night not so many saw that .
@@midokhalil1558 I thought the angle for the ship sinking was 45 degrees Then again, some theories claimed the break was at a shallower angle at 11 degrees...
@@jacobaldrich1534 the ship was sinking , the stress point kept changing or moving aft let’s say , it is possible she could have reached 45 and besides the eye witnesses accounts I always put them first , u see when they said it broke in two everyone said it is impossible and it turned out to be possible
@@thegamingteen44mc5 he intentionally didn't put V-Break to avoid everyone talking about it, and because Aaron doesn't do anymore Titanic stuff, but doesn't work anyways.
Many of those are fantasy representations such as Brugger Filmes that I'd rather not call "theories" as they're more of an artistic view rather than a product of some sort of analysis.
I believe the stern rose to about 30 degrees and it broke right in front of the 3rd funnel by about a foot. As the stern falls and hit the water, the funnels fall in opposite directions. The double bottom breaks, and the bow section takes a small bit of the stern superstructure off. The stern lists to port a bit, then the broken part of the stern tilts down, making the back go up. Then it goes down after settling for about 2 seconds. Edit: After a lot of research I revised my breakup theory. It is very similar to ADigimonFanatic.
That’s an interesting theory. There are many different theories about how the Titanic broke up and it’s possible that we may never know exactly what happened. Do you have any evidence to support your theory?
Nice animation you used for it love that the lights have a deep orange/ red colour as claimed by people during the last ten fithteen minutes of the sinking
I have no clue of how the breakup occured. But i think it was far less dramatic than what we have seen in movies, documentaries etc, since so few of the survivors claimed to have seen or noticed the break up.
its bc the ship’s steel could not support the excess amount of weight and at a certain point it broke up with the bow (never know it was in a relationship)
@@amtrakdude432 due to the fact that there were so many metal that materially stressed,most of the connections (top to bottom break is double hull, bottom to top is aft tower) broke (the double hull would likely break 10 seconds after the initial breakup itself while the aft tower breaks connection from the bow and falls 5 seconds later from the stern) and the bow sunk to the bottom The stern was pulled when the double hull was still attached which led it sinking likely a minute later, in 30 seconds or 2 whole minutes. If the connecting parts broke off immediately the stern would float more time,
Only cuz it was darker than dark ever has been. It was a moonless night, stars were barely blooming, only a few lights were on, and those that were on were very dim. It was very dramatic
I just randomly made up a theory. The keel fails in the same place as everyone says it did, the hull then fails as well, due to the stress from the unsupported weight, the ship breaks just behind the compass tower, the forward tower becomes unstable breaking off, the aft tower also breaks off, the ship then performs a top cant, causing the forward tower to seem to cave in. Due to the top cant, the forward tower is forced into the deck of back end of the bow, which crushes the compass tower, it somewhat weakens the back-end of the bow, which causes it to collapse upon impact with the sea floor. This also helps explain why we can't find any remains of the compass tower. The bow finally breaks off from the B deck, and it heads for the bottom. The Aft tower also broke off during the top cant. The fourth funnel fell as the stern settled back. The forward and aft tower float out of the water momentarily, they then sink. The stern gains a list to port as the Fourth funnel falls over to port. The ship then goes up to around a 70 degree angle, it then turns 180 degrees as it sinks beneath the waves. Some things may be somewhat stupid, but I literally just made up most of that in my head.
Aft tower should detach from the stern underwater.In the wreck that part is close to the stern.Which means it was last thing to detach from the stern.While Forwars tower is so far.The only way it could end up being there that it detached on surface.
Your mistake is revealed by "The keel fails in the same place as everyone says it did, the hull then fails as well, due to the stress from the unsupported weight". The hull failed first at an expansion joint. All ships of any substantial length are built with expansion joints to allow for slight movement in rough seas, otherwise ships would be breaking apart at an alarming rate. They also have weak spots where large open areas are built. The keel, by design, is the sturdiest part of the ship. It is it's backbone. No ship whose keel is compromised will last for very long. The weight of the unsupported stern section as it rose out of the water caused the expansion joint to have pressure put on it in a manner it was not designed to handle. Once the failure began there was no stopping it. The keel itself failed when it could no longer support both the unsupported stern and the combined weight of the now fully flooded bow section trying to drag the still buoyant stern down with it. Estimates are that the fully flooded bow section weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 90,000 tons. More than the entire weight of the unflooded Titanic itself. Naturally, neither one of us was there to see it. That is why I prefer to use science, physics, and some knowledge of how ships of this size are constructed.
@@garygemmell3488 I'm not sure if this is implying a James Cameron style split, but the keel, while very sturdy and designed to not violently implode, is not meant to have the strength to pull essentially a third of an ocean liner while bent at such a sharp angle. I think the expansion joints went first, but the sudden bending of the hull due to loss of structure would cause a massive spike of weight (similar to how dropping something on a scale causes it to read much heavier initially), enough to crumple the keel or dramatically send parts of it into the ship. That would leave something like B deck pulling the stern down, which to me sounds a bit more reasonable.
@@3_Circles The only way to know for sure, short of actually being there at the time, would be to examine the both halves of the ship where the keel came apart. That will probably not happen in my lifetime. The exposed keel sections are buried in the silt and exposing them would be a herculean task. The keel is not made of one long section, but a series of smaller, reinforced sections riveted and\or welded together. When it snapped it probably did not do so cleanly. Steel is meant to flex and regain it's shape, but when it is stressed beyond it's breaking point it can take on some really weird shapes. Sometimes it will snap relatively cleanly, other times it will tear and leave jagged edges, and sometimes both will happen. The two things I believe happened is that the bow broke free when the hull rupture reached the keel and that the stern came back on an even keel and then went down. Exactly how it happened and how long it took is a matter of conjecture. I've never been one to come up with a theory and then try to make the facts fit the theory like so many of these "experts" try to do.
@@garygemmell3488 These theories came out because Roy Mengot, a historian, disproved James Cameron's theory and then made a theory of his own, which is the backbone of all these theories. Since Roy Mengot's theory does not perfectly align with eyewitnesses, these theories were formed to attempt to correct his theory.
here are some things that i spotted wrong in these theories 3:31 the ship can't do a straight breakup and also the string from the mast (Radio antennas) would break apart even the 3rd funnel cannot fall during the breakup 3:47 that's not possible the funnels are still on and even the lookout mast will go down if it's moving down into the ocean floor 3:51 going down that fast will quickly bring the mast down 4:03 the ship can't break that soft and the double bottom, the ship couldn't break up totally from the double bottom that slow (can't hold for that long) 0:05 the ship cannot break at such a high angle. most studies and scientists say that the ship would break at an angle of 25-30 0:11 it isn't physically possible for the ship to "twist" that's not how physics work 0:22 the breakup is too fast 0:44 the breakup is too fast and high 1:04 the sections can't break into so many of them 1:10 the ship can't just bend into the inside and despite with the double bottom the ship can't hold it for such a long time 1:39 the funnel can't break the ship imediataly (idk how to spell it) and the funnel it not that strong 2:03 that's not even possible the boilers shut their dampers and also the boilers are still underwater 2:21 the ship can't break at such a low angle 2:36 the ship can't bounce in the water and it will quickly bring the mast down 5:52 the ship can't break at such a low angle
my theory for how she broke apart was this: 2:15 am the lights go out, the ship starts snapping in half as the cracks run up along the side of the forward and aft towers, spltting her into sections, the stern drops while the bow plunges to the bottom like a rock, the stern settles but due to the third funnel collapsing it causes the forward tower to dislodge itself from the aft tower and stern section, the forward tower stays held together by the aft tower and stern, the stern of titanic then slowly starts to rise into the air as the two tower sections come apart from each other, the stern soon settles under the water for a short second before quickly going vertically and sinking to the bottom of the north atlantic, this may not be true but its a theory i made heh but great video wolfric :)
It's really cool that you gathered up the animations, but some of them, like the ones from Brugger Filmes or News Direct were made for illustrative purposes much rather than analytic purposes, so there's pretty much no use in criticizing them. The rest of them do have some explaining to do when it comes to accuracy.
Personally my break up theory is that the bow and stern where simply in two different paths in life and sometimes people just separate, after that the only thing to decide was who was going to take the funnels, so they agreed to split them in the Atlantic Court.
Detailed explanation: 9° list port, evens outs, now there’s no list, second funnel falls, bottom fails but is barely connected, bottom up after the third funnel, third section snaps in front of the third funnel, the few connections at the bottom drag the stern slightly down, bow and middle go bye bye, final plunge.
Titanic honor and glory 2016 is my fav. It’s how I would believe it would have split. It even has a made up sound of what the split would’ve sounded like. Pretty horrifying.
Here is my theory of how the titanic split: -At 2:16, the lights went out due to malfunctioning wires and the ship went into darkness. The wooden deck then proceeds to bend and stress at 24°, the ship then lists at 8° to starboard then the upper decks start to separate and the lower decks start to mangle onto each other. Due the the immense stress, the ship then lists abruptly to 18° to starboard and then splits into two. The break zone was behind the third funnel. The stern lowers to an angle of 9°. The bow lists to 30° as it is heading for the ocean floor. The bow lifts the stern and then the stern detaches at 73°. The stern lowers to 61° at it detaches but rises up once again to 88° before sinking into the Atlantic Ocean. I don't have a special CGI to do that but I can show that in flipaclip.
I’d say James Cameron’s version of the sinking is what I imagined happened but a lot of these match up pretty good as well 1:38 would be my second best guess

With my experience of reading several books and barely understanding a thing because I was 5-6 years old I can remember that the Zig Zag theory has one piece of evidence, and it’s from an illustration of an eye witness account, and after doing some digging, I found out the Eye witness account even claimed the illustrations were false. Besides, this theory is mostly based on Air Pockets in the Bow Section, and since the bow was well underwater, I don’t think air pockets would’ve kept the thing afloat during the break. Yes I made this comment to argue with somebody, the entire Titanic Community is all about arguing.
Are you talking about the 'Jack Thayer' V-break sketch that was actually drawn by a Carpathia passenger? In terms of the zig-zag theory, a survivor did actually draw a zig-zag when she described the breakup, her name was Robertha Watt.
The first is from the same documentary as the one immediately after. I have genuinely no idea where the second came from, and the third was animated by me.
The boiler explosion theory was the most realistic to be ever seen. Although her stern were to be a little bit more mangled. And the stern wouldnt just slip forward it would go backwards.
Some things I want to say: 1. If you ask about the music, I won't reply because you're too lazy to read the top of the description. 2. Aaron1912's V-break is not here because he has stopped making Titanic content, let's just respect that and forget about the V-break. 3. If anyone knows about the lost 2006 documentary, please tell me! 4. I animated RobloxianX's theory. 5. Turn on the subtitles. 6. I'm not trash talking trash about these theories, I like most of them, but don't believe them.
5:52 i like how this one rushes the split with the funnel falling its really good my personal favorite is 0:16 tbh 2:42 was terrifying i hate the four section to three section break up theories
I think it's interesting there are a lot of theories about how the Titanic broke into pieces. My theory is that it partially broke while on the surface and completely broke on the way down to the ocean's floor. The reason I think that are because amongst the survivors, most people said the ship did not break before it sank while some people say that it did. Those who say it did where actually much closer to the ship. So if it was a partial break, it wouldn't have been visible from a long distance because it was dark. Also, the stern imploded as it sank. We know that because nearly every survivor said they heard an ear-shattering sound, several seconds after the stern went down. If the bow sank first and the stern stayed on the surface to fill with water before it sank, then it wouldn't have imploded. So I think the ship started to break and the weight of the bow pulled the stern down with it and then once at a certain depth, the stern imploded which caused the bow to detach completely as well as 2 other chunks of the ship to come apart as well (which is why there are 2 other huge chunks in the debris field).
Actually most people asked about the break up DID say it broke up. I think 20 people were directly asked if the ship broke in 2 and 16 of them said yes. So I think you may want to amend your statement that says amongst survivors most people said the ship did not break. It's actually the opposite.
2:23 This confused me alot... My personal Question : How did the titanic breakup When Stern is flooding with bow? ,If it lifted up. The weight of stern can make bow split
I'm really not sure, I suppose they went for a low angle so that the breakup would be less noticeable and it would make sense for some people to have thought that the ship went down intact.
@@Wolfric_Rogers The boiler room 1 must been flooded and Overheat the eletricity and break ,I suppose boiler to stop working all but boiler 1 is still working with eletricity
One thing often forgotten is that initially many of the survivors testified that Titanic went down in one piece. Therefore the breaking up couldn't be very spectacular - likely happened underwater or at least partially underwater, because otherwise the witnesses would see it. If it went anything close to Cameron version no one would be confused.
In a way, yes. I believe that water was up to the engine room skylight when the breakup occurred, putting the whole break zone below the waterline. It accounts for a number of people seeing water get over the whole base of the third funnel before they saw the stern settle back or the ship just suddenly seem to disappear as the last lights went out. Frank Goldsmith: “By now, the ship was tilted way down in front, and when the ice water reached the back stack, something exploded. I started crying and my mother wrapped her arms around me and pulled me to her breast.” Edward Buley: “She went down as far as the after-funnel, and then there was a little roar, as though the engines had rushed forward, and she snapped in two, and the bow part went down and the after-part came up and staid up five minutes before it went down.” - Boat 10 Joseph Scarrott: “When the third funnel had nearly disappeared, I heard four explosions, which I took to be the bursting of the boilers. The ship was right up on end then. Suddenly, she broke in two between the third and fourth funnels. The after-part of the ship came down on the water in its normal position and seemed as if it was going to remain afloat, but it only remained a minute or two and then sank.” - Boat 14 Samuel Rule: “Just before she disappeared, there was a rumbling inside the ship like an earthquake. Then the stern settled back a bit, and she went down so slowly and quietly that there was no suction or commotion in the water at all. I think the noise we heard was that of the boilers and engines breaking away from their seatings and falling down through the forward bulkheads. At the time it occurred, the ship was standing nearly upright in the water, with her stern in the air and the forward part as far as the after-funnel underwater.” - Boat 15 Robert Daniel: “After the last row of lights went out, I noticed that the great hull lurched slightly, like any water-logged craft, and shortly afterward the bow began to settle slightly more on the starboard side, where the plates had been torn from the bow and where the gaping wound in the ship’s side must have been. Then she sank gradually until the four funnels had almost been hidden by the rushing waters, and a moment later, she went down without creating the great suction I expected she would make.” - In the water
@@Wolfric_Rogers Out of interest, how many accounts were their of the third funnel being partially submerged / water up to 4th funnel before split / disappearing?
Off the top of my head: 1. George Symons 2. John Poingdestre 3. Edward Buley 4. Frank Evans 5. Samuel Rule 6. William Nutbean 7. George Crowe 8. Frank Goldsmith 9. Thomas Ranger 10. Joseph Scarrott 11. Alfred White 12. Robert Daniel 13. Olaus Abelseth 14. Charles Lightoller (possibly) 15. Albert Horswill (possibly) 16. Jack Thayer (possibly) 17. Arthur Bright (possibly)
But it is quite possible that it will not be found now. (it could have been deleted or hidden) (in the history for 1.11.2020 - 12/31/2022 I did not find it, but at the same time I found deleted / hidden videos).
So, all the theories saying the bow went straight down are a bit far fetched. If that were the case, we would have found more boilers in the debris field. But since all the boilers are still in their seats, the bow could not have done that. At most, the bow could have been down at a 35 degree angle. The only boilers found on the sea floor are from the disintegrated boiler room 1 where the keel failed
Nah, the bow would have gone straight down because of how the water flowed around the front. Any objects still remaining on desks and shelves could have been shifted during impact at the bottom of the ocean or stayed relatively still due to buoyancy/inertia.

@@sp1n4l_sn4p, yes, that is similar to Jack Thayer's description.
Surprisingly, nobody who was on the poop deck at the time (Thomas Patrick Dillon, Frank Prentice and possibly Charles Joughin) said anything about the sound that the ship made as is broke apart. The closest thing to that was Joughin's remark about hearing iron buckle while standing under the aft expansion joint at some point before heading aft.
@@Wolfric_Rogers ah, infact, it makes it more scariet to be honest.
I also want to point out that if a boiler explosion happened, we would have seen that in any of the boilers found in the aft end of the exposed areas on the bow section or in the debris field. All the boilers found in either location are intact so a boiler explosion is unlikely.
unless the boilers that exploded were in boiler room 3 or 4 which are not exposed. only 1s which are on the ocean floor and 2s which are in the bow section and exploded. the collapse of funnel 2 is supposedly why people think their was a boiler explosion and that was in 3 or 4s room.
That or due to the boilers exploding in the small parts that would be left from the boiler had decomposed over time
This may be true, but I do still believe that the titanic broke underneath the 3rd funnel or just after it witch caused a small boiler explosion. My theory is also backed up by survivor testimonies.
@SaphireTheProtogen True, but they would have definitely still been hot. A rush of cold water against the hot steel of the boilers could crack them. Not sure if they would explode though, because as you said, they were already put out. All of the steam was vented at that time as well, right?
@SaphireTheProtogen yeah I figured I just wasn’t 100% sure. If the steam vents weren’t a thing, there would have been an explosion for sure, since the propellers came to a full stop and the steam had nowhere to go. But since there are the steam vents, an explosion is unlikely. I do agree with you about how the “sound of the boilers exploding” was most likely the ship breaking up under it’s own weight.

most people are forgetting that the fourth funnel was actually a dummy funnel, and the last boiler room was under the third funnel. so, when the titanic broke apart boiler room #1 (which was the last one) would have been instantly swamped. thus, with no steam to power the ship it is unlikely that the power would remain on for very long after the breakup.
Good point.
@jenniferphillips919 I know it had uses. I was just trying to prove a point
This is simultaneously true and false. The fourth funnel didn't vent steam from the boilers, this is true. It was used to vent steam from the kitchens and galleys, as well as being used as a chimney for the only actual fireplace on the ship.
It was stated by several passengers, however, that some lights remained on during and even after the breakup. This likely signifies that someone had started the emergency dynamos under the fourth funnel (it's other use was as an air vent for the engine room), which could run on less steam than the ship's main engines and so likely did keep certain lights burning until the very end.
There was also the oil lantern on the ship's mainmast that likely didn't go out until it was submerged.
So certain lights, especially dim deck lights, staying on is actually probably accurate.
The more popular is that the submerged bow sinks first to the ocean floor, leaving the stern to float for several minutes longer. The forward stern was filled with water, causing it to rise again in the air until it completely sinks.
I think the stern would’ve started to instantly drop forward due to the sheer weight of the triple expansion engines.
The giant engines would have INSTANTLY caused a weight inbalance, leaving the stern to be pulled down by the head. Not to mention the break caused many watertight seals and bulkheads to break and twist, leaving them open for water to enter.
@@amaritineenthusiast According to the sources of this theory, the air in the still unsubmerged aft compartments caused the ship to hold for 10-15 minutes like a plug until at some point it began to flood, also the rear half was in a vertical shape and this ensured the ship's frontal balance.
Didn't the weight of the boilers pull her down?
@@Williamslamaeiland boilers were ripped out.
I honestly agree with the low angle breakup, in “Part-Time Explorer” 5:10 even though it doesn’t make sense for the whole superstructure to completely fail at such a low angle. It can be the only way for nobody to think the ship split in two at the time.
I think the reason people didn’t think it split was because it was so dark. It was a moonless night and the sea was so calm that you couldn’t see anything other than the stars, the lights of the ship, and the reflection of both in the water. Since the power went out only a few moments before the break-up, the survivors would also be subject to night blindness for a minute or two, and the ship would have broke by then. The people say that they heard a boiler explosion, but many people believe that they were only hearing the hull and superstructure fail and come apart. You do have a good point, but I also don’t think the structure would fail at that angle.
I believe the weight of the titanic on the back end is just far to great. The fact all that water is holding down the front and the back being lifted out of the water causes far too much weight displacement. I believe the low angle split happened just that, because it was a low angle split and just tore at the first sign of overload on the back.
@@GenericOceanLinerHistorian but there was a lot of people who sworn to have seen the ship split in two, so the break up must be at least visible
@@elyisusking3603 I believe what most people saw was the outline of the ship breaking apart through the stars, since you’d be able to see the black mass that was the ship cover up stars as the stern fell down. I recommend you watch Ocean Liner Design’s video titled ‘What did Titanic’s Break Up Really Look Like?’, it shows pretty clearly what I mean if you didn’t understand what I said. Not a very easy thing to put into words lol
@theolympicclassdude5452 Charles Lightoller said the ship looked like just a giant black mass
I still don't understand why those who came up with their own theory made some of the lights on the Titanic light up after it split apart, survivors claim that in the final seconds all the lights went out until the Titanic plunged into the sea
Testimonies of some still recalled having lights on after the break, those were the emergency dynamos, or lights, they would stay on for 30s or even a Minute
There was still residual pressure within the system as it doesn't all escape at once unlike compressed air and the dynamos would have retained some spin for a short period of time allowing for the lights to slowly dim off rather than going off all at once. In some rare instances modern systems have acted the same as the case was with the big quake in Japan back in 2011 where parts of the grid went out of synch then gradually flickered out and one can still find videos of this happening here on YT usually from around the Sendai area.
imagine them thinking of a way to convince people the ship was powered to the end
they probably did it was just very faint
I know! Why would the lights be on after Titanic snapped in two?
The sparks are possible, they have to be under the very top deck to not be visible to anyone also to prove my point more is that heavy wires have a large number of volts going through them so when they break they COULD have sparks
nice, all the theories look awesome. thanks for including mine btw!
Wow this is amazing! Keep up the good work.
3:55 “How do the funnels fall in opposite direction?”
The answer for that is extremely simple, the speed of the break up somewhat pushed the 3rd funnel to collapse ahead of it, the funnel was stressed due to the break up anyway.
The 4th funnel fell behind it and you already know why.
Oh actually nevermind, I thought you meant something else, you’re right
@@MB-us2rs, yeah, I meant that that somehow fell to different sides of the ship.

I think people come up with lots of theories when we got all evidence based on the wreck and the eye witnesses accounts , the double bottom pieces are interesting , they both ends are bend looks like they bent agains each other’s which could indicates that they failed first but was still attached slightly , the upper decks and side wall hull was still attached and started to bend heavily and then twisted and broke making the ship separate in half , which was visible by them , the funnels like James Cameron depicted after they fell cuz of the tilt they remained attached till the ship started to dive down pulling all the Davits which are all gone but the forward one in bow wreckage
I for some reason want to go with James Cameron’s theory. To me that just seems like the most plausible. At least it’s better than Aaron1912
@@therealspeedwagon1451 u talking about the movie ??

Thank you, I will! 😁
No worries mate 🙂
I believe the stern rose to about 30 degrees and it broke right in front of the 3rd funnel by about a foot. As the stern falls and hit the water, the funnels fall in opposite directions. The double bottom breaks, and the bow section takes a small bit of the stern superstructure off. The stern lists to port a bit, then the broken part of the stern tilts down, making the back go up. Then it goes down after settling for about 2 seconds.
Edit: After a lot of research I revised my breakup theory. It is very similar to ADigimonFanatic.
I belobe it was at 30 degrees, snapped behind the 3rd funnel, but also in front of the third funnel, resulting in three bits
Yup exactly which is why you find three parts of the ship
That’s an interesting theory. There are many different theories about how the Titanic broke up and it’s possible that we may never know exactly what happened. Do you have any evidence to support your theory?
The 4th funnel never fell

Wow I cannot believe you made
Nice animation you used for it love that the lights have a deep orange/ red colour as claimed by people during the last ten fithteen minutes of the sinking
Also just one more thing, you did a really great job on the vid!
I have no clue of how the breakup occured. But i think it was far less dramatic than what we have seen in movies, documentaries etc, since so few of the survivors claimed to have seen or noticed the break up.
its bc the ship’s steel could not support the excess amount of weight and at a certain point it broke up with the bow (never know it was in a relationship)
@@amtrakdude432 due to the fact that there were so many metal that materially stressed,most of the connections (top to bottom break is double hull, bottom to top is aft tower) broke (the double hull would likely break 10 seconds after the initial breakup itself while the aft tower breaks connection from the bow and falls 5 seconds later from the stern) and the bow sunk to the bottom
The stern was pulled when the double hull was still attached which led it sinking likely a minute later, in 30 seconds or 2 whole minutes.
If the connecting parts broke off immediately the stern would float more time,
not exactly there bud.
Only cuz it was darker than dark ever has been. It was a moonless night, stars were barely blooming, only a few lights were on, and those that were on were very dim. It was very dramatic
I am pretty sure only one survivor said it was how it was in movies, I honestly believe that it broke when fully submerged or it v split.
I think, that Titanic's Stern rose up by an medium angle. About 22 -26°. The stern settled back and went almost vertical down into the ocean.
Same!
Same, because I think that an survivor testimony said that the stern being almost vertical, it looked like an black thumb pointing to the night sky
Yes really correct
Showoffs
@Kaleb Carpenter however though it did break from the 2nd 3rd funnel so they werent correct (but thats what they used to think so yeah)
I just randomly made up a theory. The keel fails in the same place as everyone says it did, the hull then fails as well, due to the stress from the unsupported weight, the ship breaks just behind the compass tower, the forward tower becomes unstable breaking off, the aft tower also breaks off, the ship then performs a top cant, causing the forward tower to seem to cave in. Due to the top cant, the forward tower is forced into the deck of back end of the bow, which crushes the compass tower, it somewhat weakens the back-end of the bow, which causes it to collapse upon impact with the sea floor. This also helps explain why we can't find any remains of the compass tower. The bow finally breaks off from the B deck, and it heads for the bottom. The Aft tower also broke off during the top cant. The fourth funnel fell as the stern settled back. The forward and aft tower float out of the water momentarily, they then sink. The stern gains a list to port as the Fourth funnel falls over to port. The ship then goes up to around a 70 degree angle, it then turns 180 degrees as it sinks beneath the waves. Some things may be somewhat stupid, but I literally just made up most of that in my head.
Aft tower should detach from the stern underwater.In the wreck that part is close to the stern.Which means it was last thing to detach from the stern.While Forwars tower is so far.The only way it could end up being there that it detached on surface.
Your mistake is revealed by "The keel fails in the same place as everyone says it did, the hull then fails as well, due to the stress from the unsupported weight". The hull failed first at an expansion joint. All ships of any substantial length are built with expansion joints to allow for slight movement in rough seas, otherwise ships would be breaking apart at an alarming rate. They also have weak spots where large open areas are built. The keel, by design, is the sturdiest part of the ship. It is it's backbone. No ship whose keel is compromised will last for very long. The weight of the unsupported stern section as it rose out of the water caused the expansion joint to have pressure put on it in a manner it was not designed to handle. Once the failure began there was no stopping it. The keel itself failed when it could no longer support both the unsupported stern and the combined weight of the now fully flooded bow section trying to drag the still buoyant stern down with it. Estimates are that the fully flooded bow section weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 90,000 tons. More than the entire weight of the unflooded Titanic itself.
Naturally, neither one of us was there to see it. That is why I prefer to use science, physics, and some knowledge of how ships of this size are constructed.
@@garygemmell3488 I'm not sure if this is implying a James Cameron style split, but the keel, while very sturdy and designed to not violently implode, is not meant to have the strength to pull essentially a third of an ocean liner while bent at such a sharp angle. I think the expansion joints went first, but the sudden bending of the hull due to loss of structure would cause a massive spike of weight (similar to how dropping something on a scale causes it to read much heavier initially), enough to crumple the keel or dramatically send parts of it into the ship. That would leave something like B deck pulling the stern down, which to me sounds a bit more reasonable.
@@3_Circles The only way to know for sure, short of actually being there at the time, would be to examine the both halves of the ship where the keel came apart. That will probably not happen in my lifetime. The exposed keel sections are buried in the silt and exposing them would be a herculean task. The keel is not made of one long section, but a series of smaller, reinforced sections riveted and\or welded together. When it snapped it probably did not do so cleanly. Steel is meant to flex and regain it's shape, but when it is stressed beyond it's breaking point it can take on some really weird shapes. Sometimes it will snap relatively cleanly, other times it will tear and leave jagged edges, and sometimes both will happen.
The two things I believe happened is that the bow broke free when the hull rupture reached the keel and that the stern came back on an even keel and then went down. Exactly how it happened and how long it took is a matter of conjecture. I've never been one to come up with a theory and then try to make the facts fit the theory like so many of these "experts" try to do.
@@garygemmell3488 These theories came out because Roy Mengot, a historian, disproved James Cameron's theory and then made a theory of his own, which is the backbone of all these theories. Since Roy Mengot's theory does not perfectly align with eyewitnesses, these theories were formed to attempt to correct his theory.

my theory for how she broke apart was this: 2:15 am the lights go out, the ship starts snapping in half as the cracks run up along the side of the forward and aft towers, spltting her into sections, the stern drops while the bow plunges to the bottom like a rock, the stern settles but due to the third funnel collapsing it causes the forward tower to dislodge itself from the aft tower and stern section, the forward tower stays held together by the aft tower and stern, the stern of titanic then slowly starts to rise into the air as the two tower sections come apart from each other, the stern soon settles under the water for a short second before quickly going vertically and sinking to the bottom of the north atlantic, this may not be true but its a theory i made heh but great video wolfric :)

Personally my break up theory is that the bow and stern where simply in two different paths in life and sometimes people just separate, after that the only thing to decide was who was going to take the funnels, so they agreed to split them in the Atlantic Court.

6:11 the titanic bow was go ready to go underwater with the song "perfect timing"
A titanic video with the battle theme of my favorite Pokémon? *instant like*
Here is my theory of how the titanic split:
-At 2:16, the lights went out due to malfunctioning wires and the ship went into darkness. The wooden deck then proceeds to bend and stress at 24°, the ship then lists at 8° to starboard then the upper decks start to separate and the lower decks start to mangle onto each other. Due the the immense stress, the ship then lists abruptly to 18° to starboard and then splits into two. The break zone was behind the third funnel. The stern lowers to an angle of 9°. The bow lists to 30° as it is heading for the ocean floor. The bow lifts the stern and then the stern detaches at 73°. The stern lowers to 61° at it detaches but rises up once again to 88° before sinking into the Atlantic Ocean.
I don't have a special CGI to do that but I can show that in flipaclip.

The boiler explosion theory was the most realistic to be ever seen. Although her stern were to be a little bit more mangled. And the stern wouldnt just slip forward it would go backwards.
It's not actually. Titanic's boilers are intact on the wreck.
@@HugoGHA There couldve been some left open.
I think is you looks at some of the boilers they look Bent inward or deformed But idk
People heard shit go boom that night several times

Some things I want to say:
1. If you ask about the music, I won't reply because you're too lazy to read the top of the description.
2. Aaron1912's V-break is not here because he has stopped making Titanic content, let's just respect that and forget about the V-break.
3. If anyone knows about the lost 2006 documentary, please tell me!
4. I animated RobloxianX's theory.
5. Turn on the subtitles.
6. I'm not trash talking trash about these theories, I like most of them, but don't believe them.

Fun fact:ShinGoji what is the most electricity Breakup, because it showed a lot of sparkles when it started to break. Except boiler explosion.
Alright, there’s no way the bow would explode in the zigzag theory 6:32

Well idk
God dammit
So any uptades?
Nope :(
Kinda sad no?
I think it's interesting there are a lot of theories about how the Titanic broke into pieces. My theory is that it partially broke while on the surface and completely broke on the way down to the ocean's floor. The reason I think that are because amongst the survivors, most people said the ship did not break before it sank while some people say that it did. Those who say it did where actually much closer to the ship. So if it was a partial break, it wouldn't have been visible from a long distance because it was dark. Also, the stern imploded as it sank. We know that because nearly every survivor said they heard an ear-shattering sound, several seconds after the stern went down. If the bow sank first and the stern stayed on the surface to fill with water before it sank, then it wouldn't have imploded. So I think the ship started to break and the weight of the bow pulled the stern down with it and then once at a certain depth, the stern imploded which caused the bow to detach completely as well as 2 other chunks of the ship to come apart as well (which is why there are 2 other huge chunks in the debris field).
Actually most people asked about the break up DID say it broke up. I think 20 people were directly asked if the ship broke in 2 and 16 of them said yes. So I think you may want to amend your statement that says amongst survivors most people said the ship did not break. It's actually the opposite.
that would explain why there were some lights on after the breakup...
well actually there r three parts of the ship at the ocean floor because when the third funnel collapsed it pulled down a chunk of the stern
I feel like the ship kinda bended in the hull since it was steel and steel wasn’t strong as iron and so it might have split like that?
Love how parks Stephenson theory is actually in time with the music😂
The boiler explosion and the 2012 miniseries do aswell

Nice video Keep it up
0:27 I kinda like this one
Link to music please
Read the description.
2:23 This confused me alot...
My personal Question : How did the titanic breakup When Stern is flooding with bow? ,If it lifted up. The weight of stern can make bow split
I'm really not sure, I suppose they went for a low angle so that the breakup would be less noticeable and it would make sense for some people to have thought that the ship went down intact.
@@Wolfric_Rogers The boiler room 1 must been flooded and Overheat the eletricity and break ,I suppose boiler to stop working all but boiler 1 is still working with eletricity
Just so you know, boiler room 1 was never active during the entire voyage.
@@Wolfric_Rogers . ,But i thought that boiler room 1 WAS Supposed to support the eletricity... And keep the titanic light up...
Well, only the boiler rooms forward were active, I suppose the single-ended boilers weren't sufficient enough.
One thing often forgotten is that initially many of the survivors testified that Titanic went down in one piece. Therefore the breaking up couldn't be very spectacular - likely happened underwater or at least partially underwater, because otherwise the witnesses would see it. If it went anything close to Cameron version no one would be confused.
In a way, yes. I believe that water was up to the engine room skylight when the breakup occurred, putting the whole break zone below the waterline.
It accounts for a number of people seeing water get over the whole base of the third funnel before they saw the stern settle back or the ship just suddenly seem to disappear as the last lights went out.
Frank Goldsmith: “By now, the ship was tilted way down in front, and when the ice water reached the back stack, something exploded. I started crying and my mother wrapped her arms around me and pulled me to her breast.”
Edward Buley: “She went down as far as the after-funnel, and then there was a little roar, as though the engines had rushed forward, and she snapped in two, and the bow part went down and the after-part came up and staid up five minutes before it went down.” - Boat 10
Joseph Scarrott: “When the third funnel had nearly disappeared, I heard four explosions, which I took to be the bursting of the boilers. The ship was right up on end then. Suddenly, she broke in two between the third and fourth funnels. The after-part of the ship came down on the water in its normal position and seemed as if it was going to remain afloat, but it only remained a minute or two and then sank.” - Boat 14
Samuel Rule: “Just before she disappeared, there was a rumbling inside the ship like an earthquake. Then the stern settled back a bit, and she went down so slowly and quietly that there was no suction or commotion in the water at all. I think the noise we heard was that of the boilers and engines breaking away from their seatings and falling down through the forward bulkheads. At the time it occurred, the ship was standing nearly upright in the water, with her stern in the air and the forward part as far as the after-funnel underwater.” - Boat 15
Robert Daniel: “After the last row of lights went out, I noticed that the great hull lurched slightly, like any water-logged craft, and shortly afterward the bow began to settle slightly more on the starboard side, where the plates had been torn from the bow and where the gaping wound in the ship’s side must have been. Then she sank gradually until the four funnels had almost been hidden by the rushing waters, and a moment later, she went down without creating the great suction I expected she would make.” - In the water

But it is quite possible that it will not be found now. (it could have been deleted or hidden) (in the history for 1.11.2020 - 12/31/2022 I did not find it, but at the same time I found deleted / hidden videos).

Fnaf Tuber Reacts To Titanic Video!? (Pls Tell Me The Theory You Think Is The Most Accurate?)
So, all the theories saying the bow went straight down are a bit far fetched. If that were the case, we would have found more boilers in the debris field. But since all the boilers are still in their seats, the bow could not have done that. At most, the bow could have been down at a 35 degree angle. The only boilers found on the sea floor are from the disintegrated boiler room 1 where the keel failed
There are even items on shelfs inside the bow
And if it went straigt down they would have fallen over due to gravity
Nah, the bow would have gone straight down because of how the water flowed around the front. Any objects still remaining on desks and shelves could have been shifted during impact at the bottom of the ocean or stayed relatively still due to buoyancy/inertia.
