* Interview from 1993.
Eva Hart (born 1905. Died 1996)
A great insight about the sinking of the Titanic. Amazing to hear her say "I saw that ship sink".
I'm not exactly sure when this was recorded but i think it was the early 1990's.
I uploaded this video almost 10 years ago .. I'm not sure why this is showing up on everyone's page as a recommended video lately. I don't pay to advertise or anything like that. ** The interview is from 1993 ** The clips were taken from a VHS video I once found at the local public library, and i edited them together to create this video you see here. ** Eva Hart died in 1996 aged 91 ** Rose in the movie was NOT based on this woman. Rose was a totally fictitious character.
Thanks for the info 👍
It came on my recommended 👁👄👁
I saw this on my recommendations too! it was nice to know some history about this though
It would have been good if she saw the movie but sadly she died a year before.
haha i just got this too but i enjoyed it lol
“The whole thing was a tribute to man’s arrogance.” That got me.
Yes!!!
@@oats2949 The word "man" is used to designate any or even all of the human race regardless of their sex or age. It is a general term, often short for "human" or "humanity."
100% RIGHT!!!
EDP's Headband it’s not man as in the Male species you idiot. It’s how they spoke back then. Hence why mankind is short for human kind.
Kekistani well, you can’t deny that all of this could’ve been prevented if it weren’t for man’s arrogance
she'd be 115 this year. rest in peace ms eva hart.
Aww
BRING ME 115

@@makaveli4000 what??
The fact that she was only 7 when it happened and even all those years later she can recall every single moment shows how traumatic it was for her.
It was 7 years old
She was 7
No she was 7
7 years old .. I’m sure many of people can remember when they were 7 .. even before traumatic events
@Adia Aud - Long term memory of old people. Traumatic or not.
"One life was worth more than the whole ship", what profound words.
People died building the ship
@@penguinsc477 Wow imagine how many lives this ship took. crazy!!
I thought exactly the same thing the moment she said it💓✨
Another ship had passed them, who knew they needed help ..., how could that be, horrid!
The whole thing was attribute to man's arrogance, so true. Pride being the most evil, as in the warning given way before hitting the iceberg, except thought and said they were unbreakable.
This woman is amazing. Not only she had survived the Titanic disaster, she survived both World Wars! Unbelievable woman, she must have had a fantastic, unordinary life. I have so much respect for her
Living through whole 3 genocide filled traumas isn't what i would call a fantastic life. She was lucky to survive sure, but at the cost of haunting memories. She literally said in this video that she would run out of the church when she heard the music that was played by the orchestra on the ship. We are happy that there was somebody to tell us the stories of these events, but at the cost of her peace. Its not fantastic.
@@croissant2882 It all depends on one's mentality. You see, for me this is living and being the history. And, of course, all of these events are terrible, but also all of them were unbelievably important and tought us huge lessons (tho, some people don't draw conclusions out of them)
Croissant ' i would say using the word ‘fantastic’ isn’t to say it was great, it’s to emphasise how important these issues , and this woman who has been through it all, that’s a big achievement and she is truly incredible for it, if that makes any sense
Determination, my friend.
I am starting to find her unbelievable.
She survived that and then had to live through WW1 AND WW2. What that woman has been through is more than we (hopefully) ever will.
She also lived through the Great Depression and also seeing the news about The Olympic (Titanics sister ship) sinking by a German U-Boat.
@@cyriloen8432 The Britannic was sunk, Olympic was scrapped after a long life at sea ;)
Glorious_Britannia ah, gotcha
Facts
I guess our generation will live the end of the world(Humanity)
“There was no panic until there were no more life boats, you could hear people running around on the deck and screaming.” That hit me, I can’t imagine how those people still onboard felt. 😢😢😢
Quarantine aye
@@21685_ lol no
Laura TERRIBLE
The stories we’ve heard about life boats being cast off half full weren’t true. (Titanic movie) 705 survivors, 800 possible… they were mostly completely full…
@@nunyabiz3557 yeah, even Eva says that her boat was so full they transferred ppl to other boats. She was transferred and separated from her mother, which I do not understand at all. HOW does THAT HAPPEN?!
Whoever recorded this woman -- thank you. Her voice should never be lost to history.
I wish I could say about two of the last three
I absolutely agree and we are now December 2023! I'm trying to figure out how to share it so more people can see it 🤔
Wow. I pray she has finally reunited with her daddy she lost that day...
I am sure she did!
What a beautiful sentiment. God bless you too?
Hopefully mama , dad and daughter is together happy , no more worries 💖
They said at the beginning she survived with her mother but her father died on the ship.
DJ Art Eva Hart died a few years ago. I believe the comment above is referring to her family being united wherever they may be. May they rest in peace. ❤️❤️
Imagine being her, sitting in a life boat, freezing cold, a little girl listening to screams and people drowning, knowing one of them was her own father. I can't imagine.
Same she is a tough one
She didn't know until later. But still a nightmare
@@jenniferpinto7044 no she knew. She said in another interview as she was sitting in that lifeboat she knew exactly what was happening to her father and knew she would never see him again.
@@ajmyrick8398 so horrific
so haunting..
Her poor father. He was extremely brave for the sake of his wife and daughter. I hope her whole family is together now.
I want to know what was going through his head when the wife had a feeling and had to ask him twice not to go, when she felt the bump and he dismissed that too, and then to remain on the ship watching his wife and daughter boat away. I wonder what the wife thought after so many damn warnings to her husband, to boat away and see him on there.
together today? they're definitely all dead lol?
@@Red1Green2Blue3 he meant together in heaven
@@vitoriaevergarden4028 no
@@SaucyWench7 You care. Hence why you're here replying to me 😂
I watch her eyes look away, while she is looking into her memory and the images she saw and could still see that day. It’s haunting.
It's intense to be able to watch what she experienced through a 7 year old girls eyes. Frightening.
Yeah she lived it

She might has died till now, it’s very old video.
@@trkayani4949 ofcourse she has passed brother. don't be silly.
"One life is worth more than the whole ship, surely." - Eva Hart
One life is nothing. All it takes is a few minutes of sex, 8-9 months of patience and voila a new life is born. But a Ship as beautiful as the Titanic is a once in a life time Queen of the Sea Vessels to exist and ever exist.
+KRYPTIC GAMING™ Wow, that's cold. Objects are nothing to human life. What would you think if it was one of your loved one? And how old are you? I bet you're pretty young.
+KRYPTIC GAMING™ you're an idiot. don't reproduce.
yah ! bt I think the ppls' life as well as d ship was imp. Wat do u think?
gnc
"For all the years people have argued with me about that..." HOW are you going to argue with someone who was there!??
Exactly!
the thing is VERY few survivors actually said they saw her split, and most said she sunk in one piece. so this claim could easily have been brushed off as the imagination of a freezing, terrified, and tired little girl
@@sfsaviation but the ship was found in two pieces
Icydsting but the ship wasnt found till 1985, and in that time no one believed it split in half
if you guys want actual proof that people thought titanic sunk in one piece till the wreck was found, watch "a night to remember". it was made in 1958 and it shows the titanic diving straight down
One of the most terrifying parts about her story is when she talked about her father coming back into the room in a hurry and the mother didn't say anything to him cause she knew it was that "dreadful something" she dreamt about. I hope they have all found peace.
I can’t imagine the fear for a seven year old girl witnessing the ship go down knowing her father was still on it 😢 rip all those who were lost that night 🙏🏻
If I was her father then I'd try to get on the deck and find something to survive on until someone finds me.
@@NobaraGamezzz with all the panic going on you can’t be sure you would act how you actually think you would
@@NobaraGamezzz the water was below freezing they died from being frozen to death and drowned due to that so even if while in the water you held on to somthing the temperature of the water would kill you
They didn't know at the time, which is why her mother searched for him when they arrived in NY
@@beesmitty9540 they knew he wasn’t on the life boat with them, and they knew there weren’t enough boats. that’s enough for me.
Damn. There's no one left to tell that story.
😩😩😩
"Mtn Drew"...great profile name twist 🤣
Yes, but most of them told it in books and interviews like this, so future generations can learn the reality of it.
And? Do you know just how many shipwrecks , planes crashes, train crashes, wars, car wrecks, etc etc etc and there are nobody left.. What the fuck makes this story so special? Please do fucking enlighten me!
@@TheKonga88 Ofcourse every type of incident that happens with any sort of transport and life is special in its own way but 'what the fuck makes this one special??' What a stupid question. The Titanic was THE Most LARGEST ship made in that time. It was known to be advertised as the 'unsinkable ship' and the fact it sank just THREE days after they sailed is a big shock its self and must've been for the people back then! Because of the sinking of the Titanic they've made so many improvements on such types of transport. There's so more historical value towards the Titanic and the stories of the survivors is one itself. How about you do some research to understand the importance. Please do fucking enlighten us when you have done so.
“No one should have died, One life is worth more than the whole ship surely” 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 no truer words ever spoke about the titanic..
melissa people who clap there hands when they speak deserve death
@I’m a fat piece of shit, You live up to your name
@I’m a fat piece of shit, You're very welcome
Even if those people had survived, they wouldn’t be alive today
BD Spiderman- ok? WHATS your point? They still would have been able to live a long happy life. Your view is terrible.
The most well-spoken lady I’ve ever heard. She was such a reliable source for learning about the perspective of a passenger. No assumptions and no lies. Just facts.
@la'queerdo Jackson such a deluded opinion I must say. Anyone who has experienced such a tragedy no matter the age, would be able to piece together their memories over the years. Not to mention her mother also survived the sinking and was no doubt able to recall the incident much more clearly and tell Eva about it. Would suggest you take off your tin foil cap and do something useful. A great primary source.
@monkey tini dumbass lmao I remember lots of stuff from when I was 7. The more powerful the event the more likely you are to remember it. By your logic i would not remember being bullied at 7 because I would repress a traumatic event. Yet I remember it well. People process trauma differently and the more traumatic the memory the more likely it is to remain. You're the only one full of shit here.
@monkey tini dumbass lmao look how defensive the kid is getting hurling ad hominems around like he has any substance to his attempt at a rebuttal. LMAO. You haven't addressed my points so the only idiot here is you bud bud.
@monkey tini dumbass Yea, I’m not sure if having a decent conversation with someone of your ilk is even possible. I’d recommend just plonking your tinfoil hat back on and find something more useful to do with your time.
@monkey tini dumbass There isn’t any big words in what I just said.
her mother knew that calling a ship unsinkable was absolutely foolish.
Duhh

YohannaLovedreams Everyone's life is the same! Evil or good.
"One life is worth more than the entire ship" Absolutley well said.
Claudia Rodriguez yes
A human - No price Titanic - almost 10 million dollars
Claudia Rodriguez most valuable comment and most truthful
Blank Blank humans are trash.
Claudia Rodriguez - then explain why people died building that ship.
I remember hearing about one of the survivors was about to lose her home. She was selling all of her keepsakes from Titanic trying to keep her home. Leo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet heard about her and helped her keep her home. This was not too long after Titanic movie was released.
Fake
That is awesome to hear that these two great actors went to this Titanic service and helped her keep her home- and hopefully the rest of her Titanic artifacts!
@@theilluminati2319 I saw an interview with Kate Winslet who talks about this incident. Suppose you're the type of cynic that can't believe anybody is capable of a gesture of goodwill.
Melvina Dean was the survivor.
Not
Hearing her speak about the process of getting back on board the Carpathia is amazing. That’s something new I’ve learned. What an amazing woman.
I always wondered how the people got up to the ship. I’m so happy I heard this interview. Mystery solved!
I agree, but how is she amazing?
@@vaekkriinhart4347 wdym how is she amazing? lmao
😍
"The most dreadful sound is the sound of people drowning…" Wow...just wow.....
But nowhere as dreadful as the silence that followed it, according to her mother. Let that sink in!
Clara Partida I think she meant people freezing to death and calling out- when people drown it is actually quite a silent thing
Weird Science go fuck yourself with the bolts that built the titanic
@@evearcana2392 most people would have had heart attacks within 15 minutes , hypothermia and heart failure would of been the cause in those tempetures
@Weird Science I've seen the same comment from you in another video.. what if it was your loving wife and child? I would In a heartbeat..I agree , some women has changed since 1912 but kids and women come first mate. Step up
The fact that she remembers all of this :( R.I.P Eva Hart. Beautiful soul, brave heart and mostly a strong legend. Losing the ones you love is the worst part of life.
I mean why wouldn’t see she experienced trauma and her dad died that day
I mean I’m 38 and I remember everything feom the time I was 3. You don’t forget your memories
@@WrongdirectionTravel im 32 and i barely remember anything from the time i was 7, but i guess thats mainly because my childhood was boring lol. It all depends on the event and how memorable it was, im pretty sure i wouldnt forget a day if i happen to be on a giant ass ship as it sank and my dad died on it.
😭😭😭my heart breaks while reading comments
Yes. I agree. But she went through a childhood trauma no one should have to go through and not many do that’s prob why she remembered so well. I probably would remember most of that horrible night. RIP Eva Hart. Thank you for your voice and long life you shared with us.
I believe her about the Californian - she still sounds a bit angry at the memory. The Carpathia's crew was heroic and responsible despite their great distance away.
It's such a shame that, whoever it was, did not help... I know there's tons of debates about this but I'm gonna go with the literal survivor of the truth. If she says a ship was close, you bet it was close. And you can't chalk it up to old age, she's been saying it her whole life, and people still don't believe her. The arrogance of man is true.
@@madezra64 I've read about that "mystery ship". One theory is that they were smuggling poached seal-skins and didn't want to get caught
@@Tempusverum Makes sense. Honestly, if they had helped, I bet they would have at least been pardoned and let off easy. Saving 1,500 lives feels more important then saving my own skin, but that's just me...
@@madezra64 or maybe they were scared, wouldn't you be scared if you weren't aware of a shipwreck that happened not long ago and then suddenly heard screaming in the distance? You'd probably sail away from that area as fast as possible. They were most definitely cowards and not heroes otherwise they would have came to investigate the noises nearby or any signals at all.
@@madezra64 Exactly! There is no reason to not believe her testimony...it must have been as she said. This is the first time I have heard this.
Why does this show up 9 years later at corona time?
Honestly I hate reccomend nowadays that's all it does
LOL just happened to me and i had to like this comment XD
The ship would sink,The lack of boats, rich will live and poverty will die.
ik right XD
Hi im from 2045 sucks to be you
"The whole thing was a tribute to man's arrogance." Wow, what a hard hitting lesson to be learned, and at such a heavy and unnecessary price...
candiigurl7893 very true and sad
It wasn’t. It was beautiful. It was a piece of art that is still one of the most beautiful things ever created on earth.
Gavin Banks is more than 1500 people dying beautiful to you?
Borntoslay yo Of course not.
Borntoslay yo Yes!
Eva Hart is a marvellously articulate and witty woman and I never tire of hearing her story. I always am touched by how her voice shifts to a softer, plaintive tone whenever she mentions seeing her father the last time and the distant ship’s failure to come to the sinking Titanic. It’s a true testament to how certain experiences affect us forever.
Well they made millions capitalizing on the tragedy and deaths. It was the least they could do.
"One life is worth more than a whole ship, surely."
"If a ship is torpedoed, that's war," she once said. "If it strikes a rock in a storm, that's nature. But just to die because there weren't enough lifeboats, that's ridiculous."
Thing is though even if they had enough lifeboats they still wouldn’t have been able to save everyone there just wasn’t enough time
@@Borninthe80s.I read that the ship sunk within 3 hrs perhaps it could have been ?
The titanic fascinates me, something about it is so intriguing
Its a kind of fever.
big _ oof check the conspiracies behind it
Omg. Same and it's like no one understands why I'm so interested in it.
big _ oof yh the mysteries, the mistake, the tragedy is something else man
Its like she said, the reason interest remains so profound in the Titanic is because there was no need for anyone to die.
My Grandmother, Georgette Maxwell, wes a 12 year old French orphan on a French cargo ship heading to America when the Titanic sank, her ship received a SOS, but was to far away.
😭
This woman was very close friends with my grandparents and even went to their wedding after survivng all of this, apparently she was a very down to earth and such a nice and respectful person
I could talk to her for hours
Thanks Lisa.
Ha ha ha
well kinda just typed in fat cow and got that
Same betty trust me
betty crocker my nan is still alive
So people called her a liar for saying that she saw the boat split in half? She was there she's not lying
They probably did that to protect whatever reputation the ship had left
The 'boat' is called ship
who cares about you???? NOBODY
Charokee why did you clap for
She was quite young when it happened, and this was several decades later, It may have been a matter of false memory.
Watching her get so politely emotional when she talks about her father makes me so sad 😔
Imagine going to bed expecting to wake up in the morning like any other day and instead you wake in the middle of the night to a sinking Titanic...
A sinking boat would be very scary
There is no Titanic survivors left now 😭😭💔
I don't understand the non sense you wrote. What are you saying?
If you were talking about the "Titanic Baby"... she died in 2009 from Pneumonia (Millvina Dean). Millvina didn't have any idea of what happened on the Titanic though (until she was 8, but even then, she had no personal memories of the Titanic).
Yeh😭😭😭😭🚢😭😭😭
well it’s been more than 100 years

Imagine being left behind on a sinking ship... Poor people :(
Hearing that song in church must have terrified her. I can't imagine what being on the Titanic must have been like besides a horrific experience but this lady is a brave survivor who stuck by what she witnessed that night and was proven right on at least one point that was argued. Somebody in the comments can't believe the silence after the sinking would e as terrifying as the screaming but imagine witnessing all that and bobbing in a lifeboat in complete darkness with an eerie silence after all thr panic and noise, not knowing whether you are going to be rescued, not knowing whether your father/husband or whoever made it off the ship or not. I can well believe that part was just as scary
The fact she survived through the titanic and the world wars and then died 91 is incredible
99
@@simplucy8640 91.
also the great depression and the spanish flu
I would have probably turned into a raging alcoholic and a chain smoker living thru all that and died younger. People were maed stronger and less delicate back then and I wish I knew the secret.
she didn’t survive ww1 and 2 bc she wasn’t involved
It's been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
Rose then claimed "it was the ship of dreams to everyone else. to me it was a slave ship taking me back to america in chains"
Lady Fervor your Hollywood history.
😭😭😭
Well done for just repeating what you saw in a fictional film, really some people are idiots.
julian sturgeon not very respectful quoting film dialogue when an actual survivor is talking about her real life trauma and losing her father 🙄
Eva Hart was widely regarded as the most erudite and accurate of the remaining survivors when I was privileged to meet her in the early 1980s during the filming of a documentary. It was interesting to note, once the wreck of RMS Titanic was located and photographed in 1985, that Eva had throughout her lifetime correctly remembered and recounted many details of the sinking and its aftermath, which was remarkable considering that she was aged just 7 at the time. This is an excellent video, but would benefit if its subtitles were carefully proofread and amended.
Her accent is so gorgeous i could listen for her for hours 😭❤
The most dreadful sound of all is sound of people drowning Her mom:But the silence that follows.. that's more terrifying...😶☹️
And... The baby that died...😭
Her Mom got a point... when the people are drowning, it means they are still alive. But the silence is a clarification of their deaths...
If you want to know what it actually sounded like, a Titanic survivor says that it's almost identical to the sounds of a screaming crowd when a Home Run is hit at a ball game.

What an intelligent and well spoken woman. I can’t imagine seeing something so horrible and having to argue with people over what really happened for years afterward.
This was extremely fascinating hearing an actual account of what happened. I can't even imagine going through something like that and still being able to recall the details 80+ years later. Hearing this was bone chilling...
Yeah but remember her mom was there too, maybe they talk about this tragedy for years and her mom made sure she didnt Forget what really happened
"I saw that ship sink..." Gave me Goosebumps
8:20 is what got me
Shes such a strong woman to be able to recall this without completely breaking down...
Pretty sure she's told this story countless times.
Umm. She was seven when this happened. I'm surprised that she can remember much of this at all.
why? it was a traumatic experience, people remember these things very clearly. besides, i have memories from my granddad who died when i was 2, it's not that uncommon to have very early memories i'm sure. that, or i really do have superhero memory, which would be the lamest superpower in the world
Vousie V 7 isn't that young, of course you would remember that night
Kathleen Charnley I agree
What an amazing woman! I am glad her story was recorded and put on KZhead because she clearly felt it was important to share her experience for others to learn from
They placed children inside of sacks to safely haul them up and out of their lifeboats and onto the Carpathia. Now that is fresh news to me. God bless Eva Hart.
YES ME TOOOOOO!! NEVER HEARD OF THAT WOW!!!!
And it worked. Everyone must have been terrified including the rescuers. I don’t care how prepared you are for an emergency it hits different when it’s actually happening. 😢
Her name is in the titanic museum in Tennessee. When you go there you get assigned a person’s name that actually boarded the ship and I got her.

Heres a bugger shocker. A group of people aboard the titanic wete set on abolishing the central bank and had the means to do so. Every one of them died on the titanic and central banks carried on. They feared this and i think it was a torpedo hit since a boat was off in the distance but did not respond

This is such an incredible and invaluable piece of footage it blows my mind that it's possible to listen to the account of a titanic survivor right here on KZhead. I really don't think people appreciate the horror people experienced that night.

It was the era of the true gentlemen. Rip to all the victims and survivors. Their stories will continue to live on forever in our hearts.

To think that a child went thru that tragic event and still managed to salvage her life and sanity is a testament to the strength of a bygone era,God bless her soul!
The nightmares this lady must have had throughout her life hearing people screaming and from the loss of her father.
Scott H ikr
She actually isolated herself in a cabin for days when she was on her voyage to return to the UK. The only reason she got to the other parts of the ship is because a stewardess had to convince her to get on deck so she can confront her fear head on (whether it worked, I'm not sure).
She used to bark at mice and cats.. 😂😂😂😂😻😻☔☔😺😺😸😸🐈🐈🐶🐶🐶🐭🐭🐁🐀🐭🐁🐀🐹🐹
How could people argue with her over the ship breaking in half? She was there and you weren’t. A vision like that probably never leaves someone’s head.
Some people like Eva Hart or Jack Thayer said it broke, some said it didnt.
Right, like they were there
@@thesilentdiva yes, they were, I named the titanic survivors of course
@Sintherus that is utter ignorance, the survivors and eyewitness saw what happened, theres no reason to not believe them.
@Sintherus why ?
My great nan was on the ship, she was only 10 years old. In 2003, I vaguely remember this but she told me she still has memories of this. Her parents were first class and was on one of the first boats deployed into the ocean. She died on August 23rd 2003. RIP Nan Celeste
If she was 10 then she probably still had very vivid memories of this.
Quite an understated, British way to refer to the disaster-"dreadful". Such a strong and beautiful lady.
Her english sounds beautiful
I could listen to her talk forever!
She had posh accent
It isn't a "posh" accent but I know what you mean. It's just received pronunciation. It's the accent of Standard English. She grew up in a time where it was much more common too. I speak with received pronunciation (not as strong as Eva) but I'm not "posh".
It's similar to that of Emma Watson's.... I love when Emma speaks.
kyle edward I think it sounds quite similar to Elizabeth II - Received Pronunciation in addition to articulate vocabulary PLUS a southern English accent, which would probably be dead by now
I keep thinking about what she said about the quietness after the ship had sunk. It's terrible to think about😞
Yea
What's the most creepiest I think was, it was a clear starlit night with calm waters, everything was perfect to watch such a disaster display right before you.
That comment has haunted me for years.
It is rather odd. I remember after witnessing a fatal car and truck accident there was an eerie silence in the air. Everyone had stopped driving/walking. This hush lasted for a few moments before life returned into the scene and people jumped in to help. It's that moment of processing what had happened with shock.
That's the sound of silence
The fact that we can hear a firsthand experience from someone is amazing. Rest In Peace, Eva Hart. 🕊
When she talked about running out of church when they played “Nearer My God To Thee”…poor little child had ptsd.
Hello Dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
"Do you want to hear the story or not, Mr. Lovett?"
Yas. Yas, I do very, very much.
I am not Mr Lovett but would like to hear the story..
NO
Exactly; this is a real-life Rose, who was only 7 years old on that traumatizing April night in 1912.
Brian Critchley I don’t think you get it
She’s dead on by saying it was arrogant and prideful to say it was an “un sinkable ship”
not just that. but to have lifeboats for not even half the passengers too.
absolutely. good old hubris,
The ship wasn't Titanic... 💀 it was some other boat..
barulii stop the switch theory it’s been proven wrong they would not have enough time to move everything to titanic and everything to Olympic
@@happypolandball8475 okay, calm down. geez.
Even at that age her recollection is so vivid. Amazing.
She was 7 years old and kids are very honest with good memories, yet they still didn't believe her recollections.
“One life is worth more than the whole ship”
"One life is worth more than that whole ship, surely." Wow Yes
real English lass, I bet a lot of twats in pin-stripped suits would scratch their head at that
Extremely sharp for her age. Rip.
Not only did she survive the Titanic but she also survived both world wars, this women was and still is a legend. Rest in peace Eva Hart, you were amazing.
i wanna slap whoever tried to tell her she didnt see the ship break in half, she is so articulate and put together that if i had ever had the honor to speak with her in her lifetime (god rest her soul) i couldn't have the guile to disagree with anything she said to me. what an intelligent, put together woman.
Aleister Ashland wow you sure get violent easy ,
Aleister Ashland She is a great storyteller, very articulate and first-person opinionated too 💕 PTSD does finally heal but it takes years sometimes. She has had the benefit of years to think it through, as raw and tragic ad it was. God bless her soul and thank you to whomever filmed her.
Aleister Ashland I agree. Very well spoken.
Aleister Ashland Agreed, such a lovely woman.
Aleister, I agree with you. She was a lovely, charming lady! ❤ I would have loved to have been in her family to hear all of her stories as many other commentors have said.
Not to be rude but to all the people saying to bad she wasn't around to see the film, I highly doubt a woman as remarkable as herself would have had any interest in seeing such a film, it also may have been too much for her emotionally and mentally. Just a thought. That aside my god what a beautiful woman 💜
AmberCScott very true
The memories may have have her an anxiety attack during the film and maybe a heart attack
AmberCScott She watched "A night to Remember" in 1958. James Cameron basically did a remake of that movie.
She lived it she didn't need to see the film. (Not being mean) and besides emotionally I dont think she could handle it.
AmberCScott well said.
I truly admire this amazing women, the way she speaks about the disaster, is beyond me, may she now be at peace and at rest RIP Eva Heart
I can't believe she was 7 years old when she was on the titanic. RIP 1905-1996.
Hearing screaming and the biggest ship in the world in their time being split in half i think i would remember it for the rest of my life.
Nobody would forget it even if it happened in our time
@@ReubenWalton : I'm sure , he's referring to a war experience . The sensations would be similar . Both horrifying and life changing .
Sasha Drews ohh okay 👌🏻 gotcha!
Anyone else come here after watching the Titanic?
Just got done watching it about 5 minutes ago and wanted to see if there were any stories about the real experience
Omg me dude.. me af when Jack died
+KRYPTIC GAMING™ WTF?!?!?
+PuppetBuilder 76 i did really badly
+Eric Champlin it's been out how long and you are only watching it now lol
Had the pleasure of listening to here talk in 1994, meeting her after. Amazing and very straight talking woman.
Oh tell more please
Years ago, I went on a family trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Luxor Resort and Casino. They had a limited time Titanic exhibit where visitors would be able to participate in a simulated Titanic stay. The exhibit featured some artifacts that were recovered from the shipwreck along with reprints of actual passenger tickets with their names, DOB, addresses and other info. Some of them even gave a brief biography of the specific passenger and even told whether they survived or perished in the shipwreck. Each participant got to keep the passenger card they were assigned. I still have mine stowed away with some of my important keepsakes. No one else was interested in going to the exhibit with me, so I went alone because I thought it would be cool - and I was right. It was amazing and one of the most memorable experiences of my life. They had every minute detail from the decor in the rooms (1st, 2nd, and 3rd class suites) to the dinnerware and even the music playing in the background down pat. It was very well researched and I'm glad that I decided to go.
The poor pain she went through, she was only 7 😢
9*
@@sarithaj3696 no she never said she was 9 it said she was 7
Saritha J 0:01 it says 7
Ohh ok sorry I didn't see
My daughter is 7 🥺 I can’t imagine having her go through so much trauma! I’d hold on to her so hard 😭
who else bored at night and just searched up Titanic survivors
Danial E me!
Danial E me lol
me xD
bless SAME!
Quite the reverse.I started watching and I couldn't stop. I was riveted to the clip. This really was a window into the past. "time travel" in a way.
Well, it's now 12 years ago you uplaoded it and I for one am happy it did show up on mine. So thank you for the upload and sharing it. Who else is here on 29th June 2023 or around this date?
i have swamp ass
Amazing to hear it straight from someone who was there. I met Melvina Dean years ago, when she was the oldest living survivor. She was very good friends with friends of mine. At the time of the accident, she as the youngest survivor. I believe she was only 7 weeks old when the Titanic took her father and brother. Her mother and sister survived along with her. They were relocating to the US and ended up going back to England.
Whoa not only did she witness Titanic but tons of other things that happened between 1912-1990.
Clockwork Ultranicon
gurlzrool world wars for example
gurlzrool when did she die??? Did she die in 1990
gurlzrool Yea, like both world wars
Claystead She missed the golden age of memes though
"Do you remember the silence that followed it?" That's terrifying.
I had to repeat this part 10 times What a story teller ! And her voice is so calm
@@jessicabrown5885 A calm voice comes from a lifetime of traumatic experiences. It is the inner coping mechanism for life survival. You come to a place of knowing that no pray, hope, trust, experience, knowledge or intellectual aptitude can change your destiny so you surrender to what will be. It is in this surrender where calm is born.
Yes it's the silent pause that stays with you for 100 years, Eva's silence, Harry Patch, remembering that silence before that whistle blew and over the top, that whistle an Irish priest remembered in Nagasaki then silence, ordinary people with a story that is history.
I could just listen to her forever. I didn't want this video to end
Right?! It’s like reading a history book but hearing it thru her voice, the voice of an actual eyewitness to the tragedy.
This woman is a legend she has been through and seen more than most of us will see in our life time,and we go to the doctors saying im depressed she did not appear to even be depressed.She has such a strong character.
I bet it’s so terrifying just seeing this shit just go down like hearing everyone drowning and see the ship sink my god I have huge respect for her
I was thinking about people on the ship, then I though about all the people in the barely full emergency boats, and I think of the guilt and shame they lived with when they went back to see if there were survivors an hour and a half later, and there were only 7 people out of 1,527 some odd people left alive in the pitch black, cold water. It's sickening.
"Surely one life is worth more than the whole ship." -Eva Hart
It's terrifying to live through something like that for everyone who could've been there. It was terrible to die in these situations and for survivors who most like had a PTSD and had to live with it their whole life. Same goes for wars, who knows what's better: to die in it or to survive seeing that horror and seeing your friends, family go with it.
same, that’s so haunting!
at least she got to live
"One life is more than the whole ship..." Amazing lady.
acgillespie how many billions do we (whattya have a mouse in your pocket "we" insery shaking head emoticon here: ...!!?
Your story lives on with us. RIP Eva 🙏🏼
What a sweet woman! No person should have to go through such a terrifying and sad event! May this magnificent woman rest in peace! 🙏
