hello everyone the famous British RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912 more than a hundred years later people still can't solve all the mysteries of the disaster one of the mysteries that keeps puzzling everyone is what happened to the bodies today we'll try to find the answer to that question let's get it on at the beginning of the 20th century traveling across the Atlantic was a common but risky business the two biggest cruise ship companies Cunard Line a white start line were in constant rivalry in 1907 the Cunard Line launched the Mauritania and Lusitania liners the largest ships in the world at that time they reach speeds of up to 25 knots that is 46 km/h such speed allowed these ships to cross the Atlantic in just five days the fast and reliable liners of their main rivals meant that White Star Line's profits were seriously affected but the company didn't give up and they decided to build two super liners maybe not as fast as those of their rivals but more comfortable and larger they plan to launch the Olympic line of first and the Titanic ten months later the steel of the highest grade was used for the construction of the Titanic according to the industry standards however these steel sheets had a small defect before mounting the rivet hulls were cold punched prior to riveting which resulted in micro cracks the sheets were fastened with three rows of steel and rivets made of low quality iron about 1,500 people worked on the construction of the Titanic and on May 31st 1911 the liner was launched in front of numerous spectators at first the Titanic wasn't going to be different from the Olympic but soon it was upgraded for example some drawbacks were fixed more cabins were added as well as they Hall for the first class receptions and so on it turned out to be an unmatched vessel the Titanic could reach speeds of up to 42 kilometers per hour the shipbuilder magazine called the Titanic virtually unsinkable because of these special double bottom design the first class passenger cabins were stunningly luxurious as well they were decorated in various Styles richly adorned with mahogany stained glass windows silk and gilding also first-class passengers had access to a swimming pool a squash court a restaurants two cafes a gymnasium the second class was a little less comfortable but even these simply arranged third-class cabins were very comfortable moreover each passenger could enjoy the delicious meals so some of them were living in even better conditions than at home the Titanic was a genuine luxury hotel of the early 20th century which in addition could take its guests to New York in just a few days sadly the Magnificent liner didn't bring success to the White Star Line on April the 10th 1912 the Titanic left Southampton for New York on its first and only cruise it was carrying one thousand three hundred and seventeen passengers and nine hundred and eight crew members on April the 14th 1912 the Titanic received six messages from other vessels warning of a large amount of drifting ice even the passengers noticed it that day the ice conditions in the North Atlantic were the worst they've been in 50 years the first message was received at 9:00 in the morning and Captain Smith ordered a slight change of course to avoid collision however the rest of the warnings didn't reach the bridge deck since the radio mostly transmitted the passengers messages besides on that day the equipment broke down delaying the messages and making the operators nervous perhaps they ignored the warnings about the ice considering them unimportance but don't blame the whole catastrophe on them the crew members were aware that there was ice in the area but didn't slow the ship down at the time the liner's crews were mostly focused on keeping up with the schedule they had to arrive at the pause on time they saw danger warnings as recommendations not calls to action and after all the Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable so why would it feel threatened by just a piece of ice if other ships could survive a collision with an iceberg that site Anik would definitely be able to keep going and boy were they wrong on April the 14th at 11:39 p.m. a lookout reported an iceberg on the course to the command bridge the crew tried to avoid a collision by making it turn but the ship just lost speed according to some reports that's why the damage caused by the iceberg was so huge the collision resulted in a hole in the liner and water immediately began to enter the ship at a rate of seven point one times per second 15 times faster than it could have been pumped out researchers believe an error in the liner's construction was one of the reasons for such serious damage Coldwater also increased the cracks that had appeared during the rivets installation making the metal too brittle but the Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable for a reason it was designed to stay afloat even if four of its lower compartments were flooded but the icy water filled five compartments that night and the ship began to sink the Titanic was doomed by the way another version suggests that the main problem wasn't an iceberg but a fire in the hold according to this theory a pile of coals spontaneously caught fire in one of the ships coal vaults the fire spread to the whole hold reached the steam boilers which then exploded causing the ship to sink and the iceberg it was just there in fact there was indeed a fire on the Titanic but that was pretty common at the time in this case coal does not burn but just quietly smoulders sometimes for days so it is unlikely that this could have been the reason for the sinking of the Titanic on April the 15th at 5 past midnight Captain Smith ordered to prepare the lifeboats and gather the passengers there was no PA system so the crew had to wake every passenger on board stewards from the first-class help passengers to get dressed and even took them to the deck well for the second and third-class passengers it was way more difficult there were more passengers than personnel so the steward simply threw the doors open telling them to get on deck no one even mentioned that ship was sinking many passengers were reluctant to leave their cabins or just refused to believe anything was happening around a quarter past midnight the stewards began ordering the passengers to put on their life belts although many took it as a joke again some even took ice pieces scattered across the deck to play football in total the Titanic had only 20 lifeboats that could accommodate up to 68 people each but there were many more passing on board but he wasn't about saving money though the company was able to afford additional boats and there was definitely room for them the thing is that at the time lifeboats we used to transport passengers from a sinking ship to another ship so it was common for liners to our fewer lifeboats on board than they actually need it in addition the White Star Line wanted the ship to have a wide deck to enjoy the few spare lifeboats would definitely ruin that view things were about to get chaotic on the ship while Captain Smith was an experienced sailor it was his first shipwreck and he went numb as survivors say the crew wasn't ready for emergencies either most of them weren't even sailors when Smith commanded the evacuation of the women and children the two officers in charge took his words differently one of them first seated the women and children in the boats and the other didn't let anyone else in that's why some of the boats were half empty if it weren't for this misunderstanding at least 500 more people could have been saved in addition some passengers simply refused to board the boats they considered it much safer to be on board the liner than in a small boat as a result more than 1,000 passengers and crew members were still on board when the Titanic sank almost all those who jumped or fell into the water either drowned or died within minutes due to cold shock and hypothermia it took an hour and a half before the RMS Carpathia arrived to take all the survivors aboard but what happened to the poor people who stayed in the icy water the White Star Line allocated several ships to lift the bodies and the Titanic wreckage in two weeks the cs makai bennett crew found and retrieved 306 bodies but they quickly ran out of embalming agents according to sanitary regulations only embalmed bodies could be delivered to the poor's so the captain of the Mekhi Bennett decided to leave many third-class passengers and crew members in the ocean also some bodies were so damaged that it was impossible to identify them other vessels did the same collecting a total of 328 bodies from the ocean after that some ships came across the remains of passengers of the Titanic they were carried to the Northeast and dispersed across a large area by the Gulf Stream as a result by June only 333 bodies out of 1500 victims at the sinking Titanic were found it was decided not to search for the rest as it would be impossible to identify them but the victims relatives demand it to keep looking they insisted on finding the remains of the Titanic and lifting them from the bottom firstly the deceased deserved a proper burial and secondly well many jewels have gone under the water with the people but finding the wreck turned out to be a difficult almost impossible task only in 1985 a joint American French expedition led by Robert Ballard founded a wreckage of the Titanic [Music] it was believed that most of the bodies were on the ship because they were not enough boats and a few passengers dared to jump into the icy water but instead of human remains they discovered many shoes in other words there were once bodies here that they decompose completely over time they just simply vanished there is still no consensus among experts as to whether the human remains could have been preserved on the Titanic some researchers claim to have stumbled upon them but we will never know the real answer to this questions because the liner itself is gradually collapsing most likely by 2037 there will be nothing left of the Titanic hey stop being lazy it's time to use that brain of yours welcome to brain time incredible facts from the past the present and even the future the power of nature and wild animals amazing facts and unsolved mysteries you'll find all this and much more here subscribe now you won't regret it [Music] [Music]
