Andrews all right Joseph indeed very well now even with both of these compartments completely flooded the ship won't found her yeah but what's it found any of these forward compartments I know that but wasn't trying to say what these bulkheads extending from the bottom to the upper deck here and to the saloon deck here are completely sealable she's taking water in here I'm here on here now what happens um the caps and releases the friction cultures on the water side doors you saw that in the drill I say he doesn't have time or forgets what then well the doors are fitted with floats beneath the floor plates if the floor to lifted the doors close automatically and then what have you got a nice book the Titanic is its own life a grandest most luxurious lifeboat in the world [Music] Titanic's iconic look was deceiving only three of her funnels actually worked the fourth was a dummy added by white star to the public associated four funnels with speed Nicola was my height let me stay here and keep watch are you sure friendly she was bloody pirate come on what do you say if we get caught wide keeping watch not doing anything wrong anyway suppose this funnel is used for spike as well put it to some use what can you see how would you look at them all down there flags and a marching band like at like an ant's nest or spear it up can you hear the band oh come on hawk doom they'll see us so what if they do I could be like John MacCormack this could be my chance imagine it the world at my feet well mother Oh Boswell and comfort sing like Christmas Freddy like Christmas you really did captain's orders exhale at noon let's get some steam off sir so yes my boy it also has to be to work in a white flour line now why would you ask you that I wonder 16 but I want you getting any notions aren't you getting qualifications Hey understand yes fast with everyone not sailing on the side father would you have a word with mr.

coal bunkers were a common problem in the age of steam with a major coal strike underway Titanic had taken onboard cheap coal that caused it to combust deeper than boiler room number six this fire within the bunker would play an important role in the coming disaster we can part of Titanic's hull [Music] Oh mr. maverick I see what you're made of all do but increase the pressure I think he barely breathing of the regulate both legs dangerous to the high president - Burke that's it they could just be towing boxes but the head types of top come from the West are all times not fear from

sure sure shut the down first at 11:40 p.m. when what ants first spotted the iceberg orders were sent immediately to the engine room anteroom receiving understood stop all engines stop all engine shut the doors come on shut the doors shut the stoppers I said shut the door got the engines came to a stop Titanic tried to steer clear of the approaching iceberg dive now I'm drifting it took 30 seconds until impact Cheers [Music] and we dropped a propeller blade I don't know sir we'll cut off the turbines and redirect steam to the main condensers hey chef raise the bridge this is all girl what's the matter one of Titanic's key safety features was now but intellection of watertight doors were shut down sealing off the ship's 16 compartments as you God's name is that me what's also water came through 4 . winner of all standing in a set trying to raise the Reginald is getting stunned by and in years forward moving Cecily where's Harvey slow astern slow astern and having 40 by to be the

need to know [Music] [Music] telephone and lighting circuits shorter than boilers six five four a copyright that's what I'm looking at funny how you get used to the noise will notice that what's gone and she's in drydock Philip stomping sanitize on the iceberg hit Titanic starboard side it worth the long nearly 300 feet of her hull allowing cold seawater to pour into her forward compartments firemen and engineers working in boiler room 6 were among the first to witness the flooding in at this stage they would not have known the true extent of the damage many of the men were treated backwards to boiler room 5 as Titanic's watertight doors came down sealing off the ship's compartments one by one Titanic's engineers now lives to clear the remaining boilers of their cold cold sea water hitting a fully pressurized boiler could cause a thermal explosion suppose put your plumbing back then we're a lot better status sit down the cylinder drain valves one on the condensate is roll else what's your name soon darlin sir but everybody calls me patty once you'd open up this door for me Dillon seven I'm supposed to follow orders don't I give them a nine [ __ ] within Subterra Tana's compartments now sealed off by our water tank doors the senior engineers needed to get forward to find out what had happened and assess any damage four separate boiler rooms now separated the engine room from the incoming water towards the bowels of ship [Music] Fila a lot sir it's like a Turkish bath down here she's taking water off her head shut the door what's up Murph we need to keep it short close it pirate what's up I'll take you through the hatch sir seemingly cut off from the flooding the iceberg had in fact breached a fifth compartment at Terrell just two feet within a coal bunker located in boiler room five slowly taking water if Alice thought so many other types of capacitive about 250 tons and our I'd say that's an estimate and the reversible I mean we can use into their water rather than for swimming absolutely sir through the ostrich actors the bilge pulleys three of those slightly less capacity I'd say 150 tons and are something like that very good gauge of competence yes sir how many all of them it is team of counselors down here right way to take soundings and tell them to bring jarring equipment I need someone to go into six and report back chef you go with him Jesus Mary and Joseph [ __ ] over [Music] the Olympic my cabin would have been just down there on the left this isn't the Olympics excuse me are we in New York yet no ma'am there's anything the matter I felt something nothing's the matter it was routine probably best to go back to your cabins [Music] Sanders check the tomfoolery Libyan oil one can use was a hole in the hole and she's making war well that's what I've seen anyway she'll be limping at the New York at this rate until she doesn't survive doesn't look good of a white star anyway I'm just solely to be known for rituals presenters don't mean we get overtime you're joking wick you signed up a single trip and make really happy elroy Carmack's don't change however long it takes that I get to New York how'd you like the same to sex bulb for a month swap a month how much water well how much which water she take your alphabet Joseph maybe seed you know man they're a b c and d I don't follow from above she can sell all of these compartments that's a b c and d but e compartment a boiler in five whatever gotta call it that's her to attend us for the soundings of conferences and also a compartment and she's hold surely the amount of water the amount of water is immaterial she can take on more water to stuff in this way for neck is in the news this chef well sink I'll give her an hour and I don't know half of most I won't let not that may show you something [Music] feel that or coming in below is forcing the air up she science the forward sections of Titanic were filling uncontrollably as each bulkhead was breached the weight created by the water forced Titanic's bow further into the ocean so the last caller sir devil in hell the farm scores your enemy want you to go up top let's bridge rail the wait further orders if I don't do start you heard them and get about back all right come on don't you Barrett you stay down here with Shepherd and Harvey and help run the pumps sir have you transferred steam pressure to the ash ejectors believe mr. Harvey how sir keep those fires drawn you know the pressure building up and blowing the joints can you keep them pulled I did my job sir as Titanic slowly listed forward the fireman's bunk rooms towards the front of the ship Wellman the first areas to start flooding it was now clear that water was pouring over Titanic's bulkheads bargaining an epoch-making theme for those 30 hazy not even college artists I need you to fetch me some lamps on portside story what some G deck for the workshops and I thought we were paused as Titanic's first distress call was sent for the small group of electricians on board there all became vital they were now in charge of diverting power through miles of circuits that ran throughout the ship keeping essential systems working oh they call that this way we're going to have to put on a little eggs on this one no we're busy have you just got Bezier bail you want to exhibit eastes working on all these poor wenches lifeboat just the messenger the emergency steam supply pipe runs above the watertight bulkheads through the auxilary dynamos on D deck they're on the outside of the turbine engine room k sir how much power will they give us 30 kilowatts each of a hundred volts there's a cross connection here we need to take steam from boiler rooms two three four and pass it off to the emergency dynamo it's about here here on another one it's just going to leave the lights you isolate these service [Music] [Applause] fires have been pulled in five the water hits the boilers of low every remaining ounce of pressure I need to cover the Balaton bilge pumps so what are we supposed to use for the emergency circa the lifeboat winters and the lights down here divert the portside boiler from - let's name some Irvine sir all the over eighteen sir from tuna all right good luck [Music] Danny have you found out bloody question who's that there's a how do you think it how would you bloody believe it the first lifeboat was Lord he's had a capacity for 65 there were 28 people on board right gentlemen I'm going to make the way up top oddly fashioned now and we Alan Walter Finster Edward McGarvey and eat some men below to had me pull the fires and faith about that I need some men [Music] gilli get old what's the matter with you [Music] by not kind of work clothes so he'll start growing you want to go they want all these boilers lon no no coals are great seem so big like a Keynesian and we can feel it all pressing them I think about the ocean have decays underneath - with it coupling forget off [Music] the last person I saw I'll leave this ship was a kid boy mind we lock domain and you lose think of he's thinking I wish I was on that uniform I wish that was me imploding good it's our job Kelly I've seen me bloody good two things without me I don't know normally to where the ghetto for magic the battle to save Titanic was now taking place in boiler room number five Titanic's pumps became a lifeline for survival normally used to keep the ship on an even keel they were now given a new role stopping the incoming water from overwhelming the ship all the time you give me a star so I need you to start the fourth generator now it's not enough pressure assistance people are trying to get off this ship we will give them the best chance we can we have the auxiliaries running off the boilers in three we have the port side borders on - its there's the starboard side and four I if we keep her in steams we can cause connects with the supply lines so reciprocating engines do it [Music] the series of events can by now brought Titanic towards her end oblivious to what had taken place a bomb tax the engineer and crew are now battling against rising seawater slowly taking over the ship and now the senior engineers would have realized the fate of the ship the situation turned from saving Titanic to one of delaying our sinking hey I need steam for the pumps the generator for this [ __ ] I'm offering you a choice you tell your chances up top with everybody else stay down here with me we'll try and keep her afloat as long as we Claude he can that's not my order to your decision my god we were pals Salaam potty my god Nikki boilers turn three and four in stage like bloody King Canute blowing it another thing though we struck me about that story more second people think it's about how arrogance and food she was trying to hold like 'no ties I don't say that way I think I'll connect stripes a what's a king compared to the sea I mean the ship has a gymnasium a library swimming pool for God's sake what is she compared to the sea see the remaining boiler rooms not yet taking water were now used to create steam through firing the furnaces the dynamos could provide essential power so that people and crew could make their way towards the upper decks don't you do it good thing you clean those brushes where's Mendelson does he know it's working white see that lever push your run clockwise slowly come on girls come on [Music] there she blows [Music] you were combined zuly glory working the stress upon Titanic's hull as he we've been called further into the water with immense weight of the sea pouring into her forward compartments and finally brought her to breaking point [Music] boiler room six have by now completely filled with water and it's bulkhead collapsed Jefferson [Music] [Music] don't kill me it hopes guys good evening okay none of the brush Oh men mind if I do there is why should all right pirate we'll talk with the others I'm going to pump my boiler in number four would open the door I thought she'd be alone but she wasn't he didn't see me first she did when he sees I'm looking up and he knows him there behind I wanna kill him off imma cut it on she's hiding under the sheet and he's hugging into the wallet I don't think I could find me first into a store I could kill him he knows it he's expectant closes his eyes I loved or I mean I worship that woman so we'll ask them that I wanna sign up for this so there's this because I can't get at them I call my boy here in number four Byron need you to do something for me [Music] [Music] what's your name wait so I want you to go up and report back what's happening well you know what you see what you hear everything is that clear like everything twinkle little star I wonder what you are why like a diamond in disguise I were in the party I would thank you for your spark [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you yeah ah [Music] his chief engineer belt are you receiving me it is dull in the engine room I repeat are you receiving me faster mate [Music] eyewitnesses all testified to seeing Titanic's lights still burning just minutes before she disappeared into the ocean [Applause] heroes mr. Bonin men who died fighting to the last so that others might have a chance of life now can you give us the heroes we need and I can't tell if this is false modesty or pigheadedness you're a hero aren't you baron fine for standing by your post involving orders that makes me hero doesn't it you're a hero in my book Barrett because it suits you because it suits white star you are a hero for what you did mr. baron what did I do I survived and then you caught my pay the moment it goes down you're dead heroes come cheap I'm alive [Music] almost LM son everybody calls me product it will never be clear if engineers managed to make it above decks as Titanic sank for many it would have been impossible as they were isolated deep in the hull of a dying ship without doubt the men of the engineering section have worked to keep Titanic from sinking for up to an hour and a half longer than was expected saving hundreds of lives [Music] be frank laughs yes I'm bill I made a promise to your father he wanted you to have this [Music] my dear Frank I feel sure by the time you read this I'll be saying all sorts of things about what has happened here they'll find the villains and the heroes tell their stories to make sense of the senseless they'll tell you I hope that you can be proud of your father but all I can think of now is how proud I am of you remember in you know one year I went for certain why you will become have the strength to do what I have to do look after your mother for me keep well and be a good lad the loving father Jay Bell [Music] [Music]

Good documentary.

[u/DeeDeeInDC]

There have been official documents that say outright that the whole engineers going down fighting to save the ship is myth. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/a-last-bright-shining-lie.html

What is it about the Titanic that has kept it in the public imagination for so long after it happened?
