Hello and welcome everyone on my vocal!!!!
I have a thing to share with you all, so be ready and enjoy it till the endππ
on April 10th 1912 crowds gathered at
Southampton Beach to wave off what was
at the time the world's largest and most
prestigious ship the RMS Titanic the
cost of the most expensive first class
parlor ticket was
4,350 bucks that's around $70,000 in
today's money but barely 5 days after
steaming away the ship was swallowed by
the Atlantic Ocean so let's rewind and
go back to what actually happened on
that faithful night the captain wanted
to set a speed record for the ship's
maiden voyage and arrive early the ship
was deemed Unsinkable so he went Full
Throttle into the dark Arctic Waters
after spotting the 100t iceberg the crew
desperately tried to steer The Vessel
away and avoid the Collision but the
Titanic was traveling too fast and the
iceberg tore down the side of the ship
creating a huge opening in the hall it
wasn't a continuous rip and damage was
caus caused in several places in total
the damage spanned along an area of
around 300 ft but the ship's designers
had prepared for the prospect of a
collision and added watertight
compartments down each side of the ship
to act as a buffer zone four of these
compartments could be breached and the
ship would still stay afloat but because
the iceberg tore down the side of the
Titanic it ripped holes in six
compartments the compartments didn't
extend up the total height of all decks
and weren't actually sealed at the Top
This Is Why when more than four were
flooded water reached over the top of
the bulkheads and filled the remaining
compartments causing the ship to sink
into the ocean think of it as water
spilling over an ice cube tray but what
if the Collision was headon would it
still have
sunk ships are designed with potential
crashes in mind and most vessels have
Collision bulkheads in the bow most of
all it's like your cars bumper or
crumple Zone it's a safe safety feature
that can withstand a direct hit the bow
could have taken some of the impact and
some experts have suggested that if it
hit head on only two to four of the
watertight compartments would have been
flooded so in theory the Titanic might
not have sunk and it might have even
been able to continue sailing to its
final destination at a much slower speed
the force of impact would likely have
been huge though but although passengers
would have been injured by the force
they'd have been able to stay on the
ship to wait to be rescued by other
ships rather than being forced into the
icy waters of the Atlantic still one of
the Titanics designers Edward wiing
suggested that the force of the impact
might not have actually been that big he
told the British inquiry that lots of
people scarcely felt the collision and
he believed the ship would not have sunk
if it did hit the iceberg head on the
ship was also designed with remotely
operated watertight doors between all
compartments so any floods could have
been quickly sorted out because Titanic
had six breaches from the Side Collision
and because it happened so quickly
sealing the doors wouldn't have made a
difference as it was essentially
impossible to save it by that point the
ship immediately began to flood with
water pouring in at a rate of roughly 7
tons per second 15 times faster than it
could be pumped out so while it sounds
like the Titanic would have survived had
the ship hit the iceberg head on
this idea does come with some
issues first off the Collision bulkheads
were designed to survive a crash with
another ship not a giant Iceberg if two
ships collided both would absorb some of
the impact in their bulkheads sharing
the impact and likely staying afloat but
an iceberg is stationary meaning that
Titanic would absorb most of the energy
from the Collision if Titanic hit head
first because of the speed it was
traveling the impact would have likely
travel down the whole body of the ship
just imagine a 46,000 ton ship traveling
at around 20 knots at some point it hits
an iceberg that weighs what could be
over 100,000 tons this Collision would
likely create a powerful force causing
massive damage to the vessel it is
likely that seams would split staircases
would come tumbling down and rivets
would burst open across the ship all
that would have potentially flooded even
more compartments this could have cause
Titanic to sink in a matter of minutes
rather than hours but that's just the
tip of the iceberg as we all know the
biggest part of it is hidden underwater
so if Titanic had been traveling headon
it's likely it would have hit the part
of the iceberg below the water first
which would send it veering off course
hitting an iceberg is not like hitting a
brick wall in this case the ice under
the water would have torn open the
bottom of the ship and caused damage to
the sides icebergs also aren't flat
solid objects if a flat Collision
happened the ship might have stayed aoat
but icebergs come in many shapes and
sizes from domes to wedges Studies have
also been done on the steel used to
produce Titanic and the test show the
metal was about 10 times more brittle
than the steel we use today the ship was
built before we understood the effects
of low temperature on steel the old
steel used to make the vessel would not
Bend when faced with freezing
temperature
but break recovered pieces of Titanic's
Hull plates show that the hull just
shattered on impact hitting headon would
also cause a very severe and abrupt stop
so even if the ship hadn't sunk there
would still have been major issues think
about when you suddenly hit the brakes
on your car or when the bus stops while
you're walking down the aisle and you
get flung forward passengers would have
been thrown across the ship and because
the crash happened at night most people
were sleeping so wouldn't be able to
effectively prepare for any sort of
impact this would result in injuries for
most people on board it would be
especially bad for those at the front of
the ship where the accommodation for the
off-duty firefighters greasers and
Engineers was but while passengers and
off-duty crew may have been thrown out
of bed there would be a lot more
survivors than in the original scenario
John watched on in disbelief as he
drifted away on a piece of wood in the
freezing Waters of the Arctic slowly
drifting away Jon looked upon the vessel
he had worked and lived on as it raised
its enormous Bow high into the sky then
broke in half causing a sound that only
a crack of lightning could
replicate distraught and dumbstruck
believing that he and he alone knew the
Dark Truth behind the demise of the
unsinkable ship the Titanic 5 days
earlier as the Titanic set sail on its
maiden voyage Jon worked hard alongside
his mates and in the coal bunker
stocking up the coal to feed the
Titanic's Mighty furnace they had
stocked and stored more than Jon had
ever witnessed on any other ship he'd
worked on but this was the Titanic the
grandest ship to have ever sailed the
Seas on the Titanic there could never be
too much coal as they left Belfast and
pushed toward Southampton there was a
large bang below Decks that went
unnoticed the furnace was roaring and
the turbines were spinning pushing the
Titanic forward at a quickened pace the
crew cheered as the vessel moved forward
unaware of the loud concerning noise
arriving in Southampton Greg came aboard
amongst hundreds of other passengers
with 13 years at Sea his vast experience
included the role as a quartermaster on
six previous ships ready for a new
challenge aboard the greatest vessel
ever made he was looking forward to this
next challenge of his career Greg came
with a wealth of experience especially
with sailing through the Arctic his role
was vital within the crew understanding
the seas around the North Pole he would
be a key Lookout as they set to cross
the perilous path of the iceberg alley
Greg had some concerns regarding the
voyage the Earth's orbit was remarkably
close to the Sun and the Moon causing
higher Tides this would make icebergs
more prominent drifting them further
away and towards the route of the
Titanic as they journeyed to New York a
T in the lookout tower and inspecting
the available gear Greg found no
binoculars this made him concerned but
the sailors just laughed at Greg if the
deck is short on ice cubes we'll be sure
to plow right through a Berg to resupply
a sailor laughed Greg didn't share this
sentiment eager to find out why they had
been left short-handed on equipment
since he had such a vital role on the
ship Greg inquired further sadly the
officer with the keys to the binocular
Supply covered had been removed from the
crew at the last minute Greg couldn't
believe something of this importance had
been overlooked for such a mighty ship
with so many people aboard and Crossing
in a particularly perilous path this
just didn't make sense but not wanting
to be fined for breaking into the ship's
property Greg let it slide hoping that
they wouldn't need the binoculars in the
end ultimately if there were icebergs
expected a warning call would be made to
the captain informing of any concerns
little did Greg know that a warning had
been received notifying of the dangers
that awaited but the telegram didn't
provide the required prefix which would
have ensured Direct Delivery to the
captain so the critical warning was just
overlooked JN and his crew below decks
prepared for departure stoking the
engines he noticed an essence of thick
exhaust far too heavy than what would be
expected from the furnaces the crew
searched throughout the lower decks
following a thorough search they managed
to locate the cause of the exhaust it
was an ignited pile of coal within a
coal bunker unknown when it had ignited
a buildup of coal had clearly been
smoldering slowly growing in size the
amount of smoldering coal was concerning
the alarm was raised alerting an officer
to review the matter the officer
assessed the damage and confirmed with
the captain that it was deemed to be of
little concern as only minor damage had
been caused Jon was unsure of this
assessment as he knew that in confined
spaces surrounded by Iron bulkheads an
oven-like environment arises that
intensifies the heat with time but the
Titanic would power forward making no
sense to Jon as they had only just
departed from Southampton he was sure
they would have turned back Jon and his
crew were ordered to shovel the already
lit coal into the furnace and continue
shoveling until all the smoldering
contents would be contained you know SOS
don't you three dots three dashes and
three more dots dots it's an easy enough
signal to tap out in Morse code it means
save our souls or save our ship the crew
of the legendary Titanic had been
desperately trying to send this signal
for 2 hours the night of April 14th
1912 there were other ships not too far
from the spot where the iceberg took
down the mighty Titan of the sea but the
call for help seemingly disappeared
before it could reach them the passenger
ship SS Mount Temple did pick up a
signal and tried to respond but the
Titanic never got the answer so what was
silencing the ship's cries for help some
unknown Bermuda Triangle of the North
Atlantic consider this eyewitnesses say
the sky was painted with a brilliant
Aurora Borealis that cold fateful night
beautiful yes but on that day the
Northern Lights may have sealed
Titanic's fate for good you see the
aurora borealis forms thank thanks to
geomagnetic storms sounds complicated
but those are basically fluctuations in
the Earth's magnetic sphere and what
causes those is the sun itself the
magnetic sphere is like a protective
bubble that surrounds our planet it
blocks harmful solar rays winds and
other Cosmic dangers from reaching us
without it life on our planet wouldn't
be possible Earth would look more like
Mars you also have it to thank for
compasses pointing North experts know
that the Earth's magnetosphere affects
navigational equipment or disrupts it
which brings us back to the Titanic
recently a published weather researcher
named Mila zenova proposed a theory that
solar flares which provoked a
geomagnetic storm could have played a
major role in the Titanic's untimely
demise solar flares make themselves
known on Earth all the time some people
are especially sensitive to the Magnetic
storms they cause these unlucky folks
can feel weakness fatigue headaches and
even mood swings on usual days the
pressure is the same on both sides the
magnetosphere blocks all the bad stuff
and we're all happy but sometimes
explosions occur on the sun they can be
massive earth-sized these flares shoot
out a wave of charged particles that
collides with the magnetosphere at high
speeds our protective bubble then goes
on the defense it shrinks deforms and
pushes those particles to the poles
enter those brilliant lights dancing
above the Titanic that night in the
north we know it as Aurora Borealis in
the South Aurora Australis or the
Southern Lights when the magnetosphere
pushes those solar and Cosmic particles
toward the poles they collide with
molecules of different gases that's why
you get the range of colors for example
oxygen can be green or red depending on
the distance and nitrogen is blue or
purple
what multiple people saw that night was
exactly this phenomenon including the
Second Officer from the rescue ship
Carpathia he wrote it down in the log
book before getting the distress call
from the Titanic but I'm getting ahead
of myself auroras are a visible sign of
a geomagnetic storm now about
navigational equipment this applies to
satellite and radio frequency devices
remember they didn't have iPhones back
in the Titanic days so the average
person couldn't notice their gadgets
going haywire but navigational devices
and wireless Telegraph did exist and
were actively used rewind back to the
Middle Ages when sailors noticed that on
some days compasses wigged out the
arrows spun in all directions and people
back then had no idea why it wasn't
until the 18th century when French
scientists found out that such
problematic days occur at the same time
as black spots appearing on the sun
solar flares the mystery was solved now
the Titanic had the most advanced
well-known radio equipment at that time
they tested it thoroughly to make sure
it worked for distances up to 2,000 M
away Titanics passed them all on April
10th 1912 the massive liner left
Southampton and set off for New York the
very next day the crew started getting
the first reports of drifting icebergs
and Ice Fields they put dots on the map
to marked the coordinates and let out a
sigh of relief all the Troublesome spots
were north of the Titanic's planned
route but after a couple of days the
warnings were moving farther and farther
south encroaching on the Majestic ship
on April 14th Captain Edward Smith
decided to change course to the south in
hopes of bypassing the ice this ended up
being a huge
mistake enter the magnetic storm if it
was throwing the navigation equipment
off even even by a tiny error of half a
degree the captain could have been
mistakenly taking the ship right toward
a cluster of icebergs what's even worse
the radio operators ignored warnings
coming from other ships that or they
simply forgot to hand them over to the
captain as hired contractors from the
radio company they were more interested
in transmitting paid telegrams from
passengers on that luxurious liner the
radio transmitter kept going out of
order that evening probably because of
all this private traffic when it was
finally fixed operator Jack Phillips
received another message from the SS
Californian at 10:30 p.m. their operator
was trying to warn Phillips about the
coordinates of drifting icebergs but he
paid them no attention he was nervous
and in a hurry was the magnetic storm to
blame for his frayed nerves and bad mood
we can only speculate but as you know
some people are more sensitive to these
things the weather was fine the ocean
was calm the water was smooth as glass
despite all the warnings the ship
continued to sail at a maximum speed of
over 22 knots an hour later Titanic
collided with the infamous Iceberg on
April 15th at 12:14 a.m. in the middle
of the night Titanic's operators started
to transmit the first emergency signals
the SS Californian was sailing just 20 M
from the Titanic they could have easily
come to a quick rescue but 10 minutes
before the disaster the Californian
radio operator had gone to bed he was
the only one who understood Morris code
on the ship according to this new Theory
the magnetic anomalies possibly block
Titanic's messages to other ships for
example the steamer SS La Providence
didn't receive any signals from the
sinking ship at all yet they were still
getting Transmissions from another giant
the Olympic which was 500 M from the
Titanic that night the signals were
acting strange they simply got lost
somewhere in space or they were like a
jumbled riddle impossible to solve the
SS Mount Temple did get a message and
rushed to Titanic's aid but as fate
would have it the rescue ship got stuck
in ice she did arrive at Titanic's last
known coordinates but the luxury liner
was nowhere to be seen so were the
coordinates accurate at all the steamer
Carpathia was about 60 M away at 12:30
their radio operator told the Titanic's
crew they were rushing to help the ship
famous for coming to the aid Carpathia
was going full steam ahead but here's
the odd part at first they headed to the
wrong spot the magnetic storm could have
thrown its equipment off good news is
the steamer did end up reaching the
right place when they saw the lifeboats
full of passengers interestingly once
you reached land the Carpathia didn't
have any problems with her equipment the
blackout happened just around the
wreckage s the following investigation
blame radio amateurs for blocking
signals we now might know otherwise
zenova explains that at that time they
didn't know exactly how and to what
extent the sun influences the Earth no
one could have guessed that the sun
could tamper with these massive ships
navigational equipment especially one
that had the best of the best at the
time there's another theory that even
the moon could have played a role that's
it for today so hey if you pacified your
