The tragic story of the RMS Titanic has become legend, from being dubbed ‘the unsinkable ship’ to the tragic demise of the vessel sduring its very first voyage all the way back in 1912. The 1997 Academy Award winning rendition of the events that took place directed by James Cameron is one of the closest we have to understanding what happened that fateful day. To mark the 25th Anniversary of Titanic movie release, in this episode of Xplained we take a look at the timeline of the Titanic and how the movie was filmed.

The most dramatic tear jerker movie I’ve seen in long time. Lots of viewers said they made so many mistakes. Oh who cares! For me it was just perfect!
Those who say are just peak level nerds. The mix of Hollywood and reality is very good in the movie

Where to start....1. You got the death toll wrong 1496 deaths and 712 survivors. 2. Titanic carried 4 more lifeboats than the legally required amount, a cluttered deck was not the main concern. While the ship COULD hold up to 64 boats there was no plan to actually install that many. 3. Coal fires were also common at the time and no evidence suggested that Titanic's had anything to do with the sinking, it was also extinguished the day before 4. Binnoculars were NOT for spotting objects ahead, they were for confirming a sighted object b/c usinging them alone would have narrowed the lookouts field of view. 5. Yes many ice warnings were received, but it was common to maintain course and speed under those conditions in 1912...ironically conditions on the night were TOO perfect (moonless, calm and possible mirage) and hid the iceberg until it was too close. 6. Boat drills were for one or two teams of select crewman, not for everyone on board. Seriously there is well over a century's worth of research out there, getting this many basic things wrong is beyond comprehension.
Well you have a movie that claimed to be true but is full of Hollywood lies. It's crazy cause most of my life I thought the sketch of rise was really found down there. Never even existed tho, was drawn by Cameron himself. Binoculars woulda helped them in this case to.... The iceberg was straight ahead of them. The only direction they'd need to be looking.
@@Blazeww oml, they never claimed to be true, they just made the movie vaguely accurate with what they had in 1996-1997 and added a love story in-between. And binoculars are useless, Frederick Fleet said that he only the iceberg as a dark shape, he just connected the dots to recognize an iceberg. Again, M O O N L E S S N I G H T
@@Blazeww And it's basically YOUR fault for taking everything in the movie like it actually happened. They never claimed every single detail was true
@@1dylan596 actually when they advertised that it's based on true events that is kinda saying that. Most probably believed the fake ove story and as a child missed how it was the actress in the drawing to. So YOU'RE half right... Tho these days it's easy to see how the based on true events lable is loosely based on the events as some movies based on "True Events" have invisible demons breaking someone's neck or terrifying people. Things we would probably want to know about if they were actually based on things that happened....
Yeah the required amount of like fe boats for smaller ship with less people on it.... There were never enough lifeboats onboard for the number of people and regulations hadn't caught up with the at the time largest ship to set sail.
Former marine CH. Engineer here: Is not hard to believe that there were not drills or enough lifeboats as SOLAS was implemented after the Titanic disaster. Shipowner only implement things after they are enforced by regulations.
i mean... there was a lifeboat drill in southampton before sailing

When. Ballards videos were shown you can clearly see the word Olympic where Titanic should have been the White Star line welded the ships names but after the workers returned the two ships that were docked side by side the two ships were in eachothers berths and metal name plates were placed over the welded names.
Totally incorrect.

Nice
More lifeboats were needed but would have needed more davits to launch them as they barely had enough time to launch the boats they had. What was needed is more more rules, regulations and procedures to safely operate ships like stopping or going slow at night during ice, traveling in groups of ships and many other things. If I owned a shipping company back then I would have made 2 ship’s travel together and use that for marketing as a safety measure or maybe have a small ship traveling a few miles ahead. We can blame whatever but at the end of the day if the ship didn’t hit an iceberg it wouldn’t have sank and back then many ships sank because they weren’t being safe.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have enough tine to launch them, it was just that they weren’t using their time very efficiently.

Well it is not real the full speed of titanic is 22.5 knots and it did not sink because of its speed

It wasn't the Titanic that sank but the Olympic. The name plates were switched for insurance purposes.
Lies
The theory that the Titanic and Olympic were switched is WRONG. They were not 100% identical and the Olympic was always in such a rush to get back into service following her collision with the HMS Hawke that there is absolutely no way she could’ve had done what she would’ve needed to have done in order to be perfectly disguised as the Titanic.
@@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY thank you my friend
@@pointlesscasual608 My pleasure. The fact that that theory is wrong is completely obvious to anyone who has learned a lot about what the actual Olympic went through before, during, and after the Titanic disaster.
@@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY it’s always nice to see other maritime experts on this section
Acctually 706 People Survived Titanic and 1517 died and the Hawk wasnt sailing along side Olympic it was coming up to olympic and the lifeboats yes you may be correct about the Number of them But not all of them Wanted it to be like that with only 20 lifeboats Mr andrews for example was overruled because he wanted 64 lifeboats and the fire started 10 days prioer to departure and the bulkheads went to E Deck not A Deck which you showed The captain Was under pressure Because Of Ismay So shut up about him And dont Disrespect the captain he went down with the ship didnt he Thats a good captain And he said to his Officers When he retired to his room for the night (Meaning officer Lightoller) That The wether was so clear they could see for miles But they couldnt something called a mirage affect was going on that night So that makes it look like they can see for miles But they cant But a few minutes later Lighthollers shift was done and 1St Officer William Murdoch came to the Bridge And lightholler said everything to murdoch that lightholler had discussed with the captain moments Before the iceberg hit 6 Comparments and yes it was 6 Comparments And it was only A few Dots and lines Across the Hull that went into those compartments camron took The name dawson for the film Jack wasnt on titanic niether is Rose yes molly brown was isador and ida strause was on titanic aswell sadly passing away so dont be rude about titanic People died and this is a clickbait video for Money Respect the ded you Idiot
Fear Allah
The REAL reason that it was the Olympic and they wanted to sink her deliberately
They did not sink the olympic if they would switch there gonna have to rebuild some of the ship on titanic and olympic
The wreck is 100% Titanic.
do you believe in that?? i can spend hours explaining what they had to do to make Olympic exactly like Titanic

It’s simple, the government had something to do with it , in the ship their was a lot of important people inside
Governments are really good at putting ice bergs in the way of ocean liners. Do you realise how stupid your statement is?
oh yeah blame the goverment for spawining an ice field on Titanic's route

The reason why the captain never slowed down, they never had enough coal for the whole journey because of the fire. It was believed they would have had to coast the last 5 miles into New York.
That is simply not true, the ship had more then enough coal with large reserves. They just simply stopped using coal from other coal bunkers in that boiler room and prioritized use from the one that had a smoldering fire. And back in the day all captains would go as fast as they can in the early part of the voyages so they have something in hand incase they have bad weather or fog and have to slow down.

The reason why the it sank is because it was going to fast to turn for the iceberg. They saw it but couldn’t turn. As my descendant Bruce made the captain go full speed to get to New York a day early
Bruce Ismay had no influence on the captain's decisions and the ship was not at full speed.
The guy with the key for the binocular cabinet ended up not going and forgot to give them the key back.... Titanic could've avoided it if they had that key. They shoulda just broken the thing open.....

Get the numbers correct? It was 705 survivors. Thousand 228 people in total. Over 1500 lasting lives.
Ur comment makes no sense. It is very confusing.
The numbers are, onboard 2,208. Survived 712. Died 1,496.

The whole love story was made up... Tho like the book that oddly was written right before the tragedy that matched it perfectly excluding a few details...... There were two people of those names on the ship. Rise was wealthy and Jack won his job in the boiler room where they think he actually died as him and Rose most likely never met at all. And the sketch everyone probably thinks is real is actually not and was never actually found on the Titanic. Purely for the movie and to draw in the audience.... So they think we care so little that they needed a hook and take live story as there were actual lovers that died and lost someone..... Hollywood ignored the real pain of people and fabricated a live story so we would watch the movie.... That's messed up..
bro what are you talking about. They didn't just put effort on Jack and Rose's love story, they put effort on the interiors, the real passenger's and their actions. They got almost every single detail about it. Do you think they would've added such detail if they wanted to make a Romeo and Juliette cash-grab?
Just because they added fictional characters, doesn't mean they don't care about the movie. Every other Titanic movie had atleast one fictional character, even a night to remember

titanic never sank you see the ship that sinked is a different ship and the ship is called olympic and it was made by the same company as titanic was made and they actually swapped the name of the ship the olympic was swapped to the name titanic and the real titanic was swapped to olympic and now the real titanic was going on secretly as olympic why did they do this? so they could collect some insurance.

Brother, do you really think that is even possible? They were the biggest ships afloat, do you think they would've noticed? Also, Titanic heavily differs from Olympic, and no, not even the insurance covered the full cost of the ship. Titanic was underinsured, they would've lost a lot of money. Conspiracy theories are not factual

no it wasn't, and it's not called "Olympics"
The ship sink simply bcoz the maker of the ship challenged God, by saying: NOT EVEN GOD CAN SINK THIS SHIP.
God gives us the choice of right and wrong. Choosing wrongly can mean disaster, not just for you, but for those you love and/or those who trust you too.
