THE TRUTH ABOUT TITANIC SINKING HAS BEEN REVEALED
Digging deep about the sinking of the Titanic

The Titanic Sinking's real cause is ultimately revealed by scientists. RMS Titanic suffered a horrific disaster on April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m. Three hours later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, the largest ship of its era had totally vanished beneath the ice-cold surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
More than two-thirds of those aboard the Titanic perished along with it as it sank to the bottom of the ocean. The theory that an iceberg the ship collided with was to blame for this terrible disaster and the high death toll has been refuted by scientists in light of their most recent findings.
I'll give you the complete narrative in this one, which is 882 feet 9 inches long, 92 feet broad, and 175 feet tall, with a usable volume of 46,000 328 tons. It has been buried for more than 100 years.
People could go for miles along the Titanic's numerous corridors and decks, and the ship's officers took more than two weeks to learn how to navigate this enormous structure. The Titanic appeared to be invincible.
The Titanic's four enormous smokestacks, each weighing 60 tons and rising 81.5 feet above the deck, were necessary to prevent the passengers from being covered in the daily 100 tons of soot that were blown off.
The smokestacks were positioned at a 30-degree angle to make them appear even more astounding and imposing. The ship's construction cost 7.5 million dollars, which, when adjusted for inflation and modern exchange rates, works out to 166 million dollars in 2016. This is surprisingly less than the $200 million that was spent on making the Titanic movie in 1997. 3,000 men were hired by Harland and Wolff shipyard to construct the ship, but even with a massive labor force working six days a week beginning at 6:00 a.m., it still took 26 months to finish the enormous task.
It was a difficult and hazardous job to imagine working at the top of a 20-story building without safety ropes, but these people needed money to support their families. The builders made 2 pounds per week, which may not sound like much now, but it was a competitive wage back then. Unfortunately, 8 people died and 246 were injured during the building process, so it's really difficult to imagine that such a complicated mechanism with all the work, effort, and money spent on its creation could possibly exist. Well, recent discoveries lead us to assume that fire, not ice, was the catastrophe's primary cause.
Journalist Sonam Maloney has been studying the fate of the Titanic for more than 30 years. It was him who discovered a huge 30-feet long black spot on the hull of the ship; he noticed it after examining a photo taken before Titanic's departure.
The journalist got hold of an album of previously unpublished photographs that showed the construction of the ship and the preparations for her first and last journey.
The fire had to have been burning for three weeks at a very high temperature before somebody noticed it.
Metallurgy experts are sure that such conditions could have easily weakened the metal reducing its strength by as much as 75 percen, that's why the iceberg didn't have any problems tearing a hole in the side of the ship if not for the fire it would have been impossible but the fact that the iceberg hit exactly the spot with the compromised metal is one of the incredible links in the chain of the Titanic's tragic.
What-ifs the management of the project knew about the fire, and the fact that the ship shouldn't have set off on that fateful voyage, but it would have meant bankruptcy for the ship's owners the thing is that at the time miners all over the country were on strike so there was no coal to sustain the Titanic, but the tickets had already been sold out and other ships had been cancelled since everybody wanted to be the first to sail on the largest ship known to mankind,
that's why the owners of the Titanic bought all the coal they could find and even the call from other ships canceling the trip seemed out of the question.
So, to conceal the truth, the ship was turned in such a way that the marks from the fire faced away from the docks toward the sea therefore the passengers couldn't see them thus the journey began the interior of the Titanic was based on that at the Ritz Hotel in London, the grand staircase went down seven out of the ten decks on the ship.
It was decorated with paintings bronze cherubs and oak paneling, the facilities for the first-class passengers included a swimming pool with heated water, a Turkish bath, a gym, a squash court and a beauty salon, ladies could even order a stylist to help them get ready for dinner.
They had an onboard newspaper called the Atlantic daily bulletin, there was even a special place for first-class passenger's dogs and pets were fed and taken for walks and could even be trained during the voyage.
The meals for the first class included 13 courses each with its own wine there, were a big occasion lasting about five hours, there were one and a half thousand bottles of wine 20,000 bottles of beer and 8,000 cigars yet there were no binoculars, why is this fact worth mentioning because having binoculars could have saved the Titanic.
Here is another tragic coincidence in the chain of unfortunate events there were no sonar systems in those times so to detect threats ahead of a liner, there are special people kept to watch using binoculars but the binoculars on the Titanic had been locked away in a special compartment the only person with the key to the locker is the second officer "David Blair" who was replaced at the last minute.
He was in such a hurry to leave the ship that he forgot to hand the key over to his replacement this fateful forgetfulness was discovered only three days later when the ship was already at sea if the crew had gotten the binoculars they would have noticed the iceberg earlier and would have just enough time to avoid the crash, perhaps they could have also avoided the crash if the ship hadn't been breaking the speed limit they were falling behind schedule and this was unacceptable as it could ruin the Titanic's reputation that's why the ship was moving at a speed much higher than it was designed for.
Another criminal negligence was connected with the lifeboats in order to contain all the people on board, the Titanic needed about sixty lifeboats. The chief designer "Alexander Carlyle" planned to equip the ship with only 48 boats but eventually the number was reduced even more to 20, this was done purely for cosmetic reasons since the deck looked too cluttered with 48 these 20 boats could seat only 1/3 of all the people on the ship.
Surprisingly such a hugely insufficient amount of lifeboats was technically legal, because according to the laws of that time, the number of boats depended not on the number of passengers but on the tonnage of a ship. What's more at the time of the Titanic's construction lifeboat drills were standard practice on ocean liners, this way the crew could prepare passengers for an emergency should it occur but this type of drill never took place on the Titanic Captain Edward John Smith canceled the drill scheduled on the morning of the day the Titanic sank, nobody knows the reasons for his decision especially considering the fact that other ships had been passing on warnings about ice in the water in that vicinity, perhaps this is why it took the crew over a half an hour to launch the lifeboats instead of the standard 10 minutes, some people also blame captain Smith for allowing the first batch of lifeboats to leave half empty the first boat with 65 seats contained just 27 passengers why weren't they packed full, in the beginning people were reluctant to leave the ship and didn't realize that they were in great danger. In 2012 researchers found out that Captain Smith had failed his first exam in navigation eventually he passed but who knows maybe this too played its own role in the disaster.
As the Titanic was sinking the crew sent several distress signals however a ship sailing near by the California ignored the emergency flare shot in the sky, the captain of the Californian later lost his job after this fact came out but modern researchers have managed to prove his innocence.
Well, better late than never, the reason nobody noticed the signals from the Titanic could be due to the phenomenon of light refraction when layers of cold air are positioned below layers of warmer air, it causes thermal inversion thermal inversion in turn leads to the light refracting abnormally, in short, all this creates mirages and such mirages had been recorded by several other ships sailing in that area. Historian Tim Moulton is also convinced that light refraction that night could be the reason why the lookouts missed the iceberg.
Completely criminal negligence tragic and unfortunate chain of coincidences, fire or ice, whatever it was it took the lives of hundreds of people and still keeps the minds of scientists busy to this day.
