36
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:03,399
dragged down to the icy
37
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:09,720
deps and more than a century later we
38
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,480
still don't know exactly what happened
39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:15,840
that
40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,840

00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,599
witnessed the tragedy and lived to tell

00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,519
the tale yet countless unanswered
44
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,400
questions
45
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:33,720
remain we have lots of historic
46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,000
information but often there are biases
47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,720
in in those historical accounts even the
48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,319
eyewitnesses of the sinking of Titanic
49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,599
had many different perceptions of how
50
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,959
that sinking took place so the best way
51
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:51,040
to unravel uh some of those those
52
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:53,640
questions is to use

00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,620

gone back to the

59
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,239
place as alien as the surface of the

67
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:51,000

easy autonomous underwater vehicles auvs
98
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:35,520
have to dive down through 12,000 ft of

100
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,400
work at Titanic it's dangerous it's a
101
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,479
very dangerous place investigators
102
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,199
program the auvs to fly as close as 30

116
00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:27,680
would come back with some new bit of

123
00:06:46,039 --> 00:06:51,360
time over the next week Banks of
124
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,280

into a complex model of the rec I
127
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520
remember all of us sort of sitting
128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:04,000
around the computer when we first were
129
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,639
building the 3D layer and seeing the bow
130
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
and seeing the stern and in so much
131
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:10,599
detail we were all sort of grinning at
132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,800
the screen looking at all that data and
133
00:07:10,599 --> 00:07:13,800
seeing that for the first time was was
134
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,360
pretty
135
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,440
amazing at the same time visualization

00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:37,479
complete it was a very long and tedious
143
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,919
process there were over 200 other

Rec of the Titanic
164
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:12,440
we've drained the

166
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,120
see the ship in its entirety and

186
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,120
described pretty
187
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,760
basically as two large

the bow reached the bottom

and the fact that the Bow's
277
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,199
intact means that they can also examine
278
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:40,000
the most iconic mystery of the Titanic

00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,880

gigantic 300 ft gash in the ship's right

286
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,959
the Titanic took around 2 and 1/2 hours

289
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,600
hole would surely have sunk the Titanic

00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,600

Titanic but he's never seen a 300t gash
294
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:35,360
we were trying to find where the Titanic
295
00:15:32,319 --> 00:15:37,480
hit the heberg why it was like that why
296
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,639
we we saw we saw some crack why is there
297
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,120
is a crack here and not
298
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:45,480
here Nar and the team now turned to the
299
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,120
ultra highresolution photo mosaics of
300
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,360
the wreckage to see what evidence there
301
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,360
might
302
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,480
be this profile view of the bow is

00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:05,519
the profile mosaics show Titanic in a

00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:09,000
way that that people hadn't seen it
307
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:12,319
before no one had done a profile view of
308
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,680
Titanic's bow in the 25 years that
309
00:16:12,319 --> 00:16:17,680
people have been going to
310
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:20,160
Titanic here again even with these pin
311
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:23,639
Sharp Images they find no sign of
312
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,600
anything approaching a 300t tear on the
313
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:29,160
hole however when they turn to the video
314
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:32,680
footage investigators can see much
315
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,680
smaller areas of impact
316
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:40,160
damage the actual Iceberg damage appears
317
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:42,360
to be confined to a maybe a 30t length
318
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:46,360
of the bow wasn't like a gash and it
319
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,360
wasn't uh tens of small

hull adds up to just 11 Square
322
00:16:54,040 --> 00:17:02,360

Gall of seawat to gush in every
324
00:17:02,839 --> 00:17:07,319
second and when they analyze how quickly
325
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:11,280
this would have sunk the
326
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:14,880
Titanic it turns out to be 2 and 1/2
327
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,360
hours exactly the time the ship actually
328
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,360
took to
329
00:17:18,679 --> 00:17:24,280
save an enduring mystery is solved
330
00:17:29,919 --> 00:17:34,880
the investigations further confirm that
331
00:17:32,919 --> 00:17:37,320
the giant gash is
332
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,000
fiction and that the iceberg made only
333
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,480
small punctures below the water
334
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,919

335
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,919
trigger
336
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:49,520
disaster but for the team there's an
337
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,440
even bigger question looming that our
338
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:56,600
new model could shed light
339
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:59,080
on when and where did the ship get torn

her Stern by a staggering 2,000
343
00:18:04,919 --> 00:18:11,240

344
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:16,960
on the drained sea

back end of the ship it's the second
356
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:58,240
largest fragment 392 ft long
357
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,559
but it's immediately obvious that it's
358
00:19:00,679 --> 00:19:04,559
in very different condition than the
359
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:12,520
bowel the stern is a mess it looks like
360
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,520
it's been ripped up like

362
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,760

364
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:31,050

368
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,960
shows decks collapsing as if crushed

372
00:19:48,159 --> 00:19:52,679
you're looking at to me it almost looks
373
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,679
like a giant piece of uh of metal
374
00:19:52,679 --> 00:19:57,360
sitting on the seed floor but tough to
375
00:19:54,679 --> 00:20:00,280
make it out as a piece of a ship why is
376
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:02,280
it in such bad condition
377
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,000
investigators have struggled to fully
378
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,360
explain
379
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,480
this the stern section has its problems
380
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:12,440
in interpretation because it's so
381
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:15,400
completely broken up but within the
382
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:19,840
model there's a vital clue something
383
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,840
that could unlock the Stern's violent
384
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:30,640
story on the acoustic map you can see
385
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,640
that the stern was turning
386
00:20:30,919 --> 00:20:38,480
counterclock it's a massive Mark carved
387
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,480
into the seabed when the stern made
388
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:44,200
impact scientists can now read the
389
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,880
tracks and interpret how the stern
390
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,880
impacted the
391
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:53,039
seafloor you can see very well when the
392
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:55,559
stern hits the bottom the stern was
393
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:58,200
still turning and you can see the bottom
394
00:20:55,559 --> 00:21:01,120
of the ship on port side showing that
395
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:04,080
the the turn was turning in same
396
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:05,430
time the marks allow investigators to
397
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,039
work out the speed of
398
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:09,039
[Music]
399
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:16,480
impact it turns out that the stern was
400
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:19,240
moving through the water at 50 m per
401
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,080
hour massive forces from the ship
402
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,159
chaotically whipping through the ocean
403
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:28,039
at such speed help explain why the stern
404
00:21:24,159 --> 00:21:28,039
is so badly damaged
405
00:21:31,159 --> 00:21:35,600
while the hydrodynamic Bell sliced
406
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,400
cleanly through the water and remained
407
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,559
largely
408
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,720
intact if you have a plane that's
409
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:43,760
damaged in
410
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:47,279
Flight the air will get under the skin
411
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,720
of the plane and rip pieces off the same
412
00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:52,480
thing would likely have happened with
413
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:56,720
the Titanic's rapidly disintegrating
414
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:59,320
Stern at first large chunks came off and
415
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,799
then once the structure resisted did
416
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,440
small pieces like confetti started to
417
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:06,159
fly

420
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,440
the ship's internal structure slamming
421
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:17,039
into its interior

form a ram all those interior walls were
426
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:29,799
wooden and they didn't stand a chance
427
00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:33,080
the water started coming through at full
428

force they were
429
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,679
pulverized to the team this is more
430
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:41,600
evidence of why the stern now looks like
431
00:22:38,679 --> 00:22:41,600
a massive car
432
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:49,000
wreck while the bow section remains
433
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:51,440
intact it's another answer to the
434
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,679
mystery the investigation has now
435
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,799
clarified how the two main sections of
436
00:22:53,679 --> 00:22:59,039
the ship reach the
437
00:22:55,799 --> 00:23:02,400
bottom it's also shown how they impact
438
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:04,720
and why they look so completely
439
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:08,840
different but there's still one major
440
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:10,530
question to tackle how and when did the
441
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:18,890
Titan break

drained the depths of the Atlantic
445

455
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:58,600
seen

why the Titanic broke

00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:11,720
apart for years the dominant theory has
460
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:11,720
been that she split in two on the
461
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:18,320
surface as the sinking bow angled down
462
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:21,440
lifting the stern High into the air its
463
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:25,799
own unsupported weight became too much
464
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,799
the ship snapped in half
465
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:40,679
but with the ocean now drained away new
466
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:42,919
Clues are emerging that could challenge
467
00:24:40,679 --> 00:24:42,919
that
468
00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:48,640
theory by looking at the pattern in
469
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,720
which the debris fell to the ocean floor
470
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,559

the boat tore itself to

00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,960
survive the voyage that's why this is
567
00:29:48,159 --> 00:29:53,640
perhaps such a heart-rending object uh
568
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,440
because it's his last notations he's
569
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,799
finished with school he throws his
570
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,159
school books into this suitcase and he
571
00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:04,200
heads head off to America and that's the
572
00:30:01,159 --> 00:30:04,200
last that we hear of
573
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,840
him there are many more objects the team
574
00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:13,080
hopes to examine further some with the
575
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,279
potential to flesh out the human face of
576
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,279
the
577
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:23,519
tragedy often times history swallows up
578
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:25,159
the ordinary folks all of us we just
579
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:27,600
tend to go
580
00:30:25,159 --> 00:30:28,720
away archaeological sites give us an
581
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,320
opportunity
582
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,919
to correct
583
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,279
that now that the investigation has
584
00:30:32,919 --> 00:30:37,720
defined this ghostly place as an
585
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:40,480
archaeological site it will help them
586
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,279
protect a Titanic story for generations
587
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,159
to
588
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:46,880
come each of the Priceless artifacts is
589
00:30:44,159 --> 00:30:50,600
part of a mosaic of tragic
590
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:53,600
stories that together form a
591
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,760
picture the fully mapped debris field is
592
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,840
at last ready to give investigators The
593
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:04,720
crucial answer they've long been waiting
594
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:04,720
for when and where the Titanic broke
595
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:15,639
apart in the 2 and 1/2 hours it took the
596
00:31:12,159 --> 00:31:19,320
Titanic to sink more than 700 people
597
00:31:15,639 --> 00:31:19,320
made it off the ship and into
598
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,480
lifeboats hundreds of these survivors
599
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,480
witnessed the
600
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:31,399
sinking yet there's always been disagree
601
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,440
about how and when the ship broke
602
00:31:31,399 --> 00:31:37,200
apart there are still different theories
603
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:40,960
and arguments as to how things exactly
604
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,960
happened when the ship tore
605
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:54,159
into now some investigators think the
606
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,120
new data could prove once and for all
607
00:31:54,159 --> 00:31:58,639
what really
608
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,240
happened in recent years
609
00:31:58,639 --> 00:32:02,440
the dominant theory has been that the
610
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,080
breakup occurred while the Titanic was
611
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,919
still on the
612
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:10,279
surface we know from eyewitnesses the
613
00:32:06,919 --> 00:32:12,840
stern tilted up out of the water as she
614
00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:15,240
sang some experts have argued this
615
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,360
created immense stresses tearing the
616
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:21,440
ship into
617
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:24,399
two but Bill Lang now thinks otherwise
618
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:26,760
according to him the new data paints a
619
00:32:24,399 --> 00:32:26,760
different
620
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:32,240
picture on the drained ocean floor are
621
00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:35,039
all the clues he
622
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,880
needs to Bill's trained eye there's
623
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:39,639
nothing random about the patterns of the
624
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:43,000
debris field like blood spatters at a
625
00:32:39,639 --> 00:32:43,000
crime scene they tell a
626
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,399
story now flooded in daylight for the
627
00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:51,200
first time with every last corner of the
628
00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:55,159
debris field scanned and analyzed he can
629
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,159
work out how the Titanic really
630
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,320
sank it's going to tell us a lot more
631
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,760
about what happened to the ship after it
632
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,760
left the
633
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:09,559
surface made this 2 and 1/2 Mile descent
634
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,600
to the seafloor and hopefully tell us
635
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:14,120
more about what happened to Titanic
636
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:17,039
during its
637
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:19,360
breakup for Bill the new images of the
638
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:23,000
exposed ocean floor make a key piece of
639
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:25,760
evidence visible for the first
640
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:29,159
time it's the overall scale of the
641
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,159
debris field
642
00:33:29,639 --> 00:33:34,240
the new survey definitively Maps the
643
00:33:31,919 --> 00:33:38,240
site and for the first time
644
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,240
investigators can see its precise
645
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,600
Dimensions not quite the size they
646
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,440
expected I think the the site really
647
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,840
isn't that big when you consider the
648
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,679
size of the ship I mean you've got a
649
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:59,720
almost th foot long ship that's in 2
650
00:33:56,679 --> 00:33:59,720
square miles
651
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,120
if the ship had fully separated on the
652
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,679
surface Bill thinks there'd be a much
653
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:09,240
larger scatter
654
00:34:06,679 --> 00:34:11,359
area considering that it fell a few
655
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:14,599
miles through water column I think that
656
00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:17,320
the scattering of of artifacts is rather
657
00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:19,839
small the lower in the water the
658
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:22,480
separation the less distance for debris
659
00:34:19,839 --> 00:34:26,079
to spread out as it falls and the more
660
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:29,280
compact the pattern on the ocean
661
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:31,440
floor it's a straight forward argument
662
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,679
and for Bill it's evidence the ship
663
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,320
separated much deeper in the water than
664
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,320
previously
665
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:42,320
thought it's the only way he can explain
666
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,320
the small scatter
667
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:47,879
pattern one of the most important things
668
00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:51,480
I think that's come out of this is that
669
00:34:47,879 --> 00:34:54,839
the ship may not have broken up as fast
670
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:57,079
and as shallow as as what was originally
671
00:34:54,839 --> 00:35:01,480
thought and when the theory is checked
672
00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:01,480
against I witness accounts there's more
673
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:06,480
evidence the survivors with the best
674
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:09,520
position to see any breakup were three
675
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:12,760
men on the AF boat deck their statements
676
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:16,440
recall the funnels falling away from the
677
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:18,760
ship but no large scale
678
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,960
disintegration and certainly no snapping
679
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,960
in
680
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,599
two bill and his colleagues around the
681
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,640
country have much more work to do before
682
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:29,640
they arrive at final
683
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:36,320
proof but in their view there's simply
684
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:39,160
no other way to explain the
685
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:42,520
evidence to them one thing is beyond
686
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:45,040
doubt Titanic did not separate anywhere
687
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,040
near the
688
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:53,400
surface with powerful new theories the
689
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:55,839
investigation is beginning to pay
690
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,200
off the mountain of data from the
691
00:35:55,839 --> 00:36:01,160
Expedition has allowed us to drain the
692
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:05,040
ocean and create a new view where we can
693
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,040
spot Clues others may have
694
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,960
missed all the key events of the
695
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,599
disaster left traces on the wreckage or
696
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,480
on the
697
00:36:12,599 --> 00:36:18,160
seabed they're here for us to
698
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:22,920
see clues that are bringing the final
699
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,920
Mysteries of the Titanic to crisp
700
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,119
Focus while investigators now have a
701
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:31,480
sharper understanding of the history of
702
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:32,720
the wreck there's one key mystery they
703
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,480
still hope to
704
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:38,839
unravel what will happen to the
705
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,839
Titanic in the
706
00:36:47,319 --> 00:36:53,319
future this is the exposed Titanic as
707
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:55,890
she looks today after A Century Of Decay
708
00:36:53,319 --> 00:36:58,400
in the dark depths
709
00:36:55,890 --> 00:37:01,160
[Music]
710
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:04,960
in the 30 years since she was found no
711
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:08,040
one's been able to see her quite like
712
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,760
this as Titanic investigators study the
713
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:13,240
model Expedition data and
714
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:18,160
video it's becoming
715
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:21,240
clearer that month by month year by
716
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,560
year the ship is
717
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:27,520
disappearing and it's happening faster
718
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,520
than some experts expected
719
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,480
pH naret has been going to the wreck for
720
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,000
three
721
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:39,960
decades and he's seen a big change over
722
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:45,200
time the distance between the a deck and
723
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:47,880
the B deck was easily 10 ft now is five
724
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:51,960
six feet and step by step the
725
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,960
deterioration is going close to the
726
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:58,480
bridge soon all the decks will collaps
727
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,440
on each other and everything inside will
728
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,960
be lost
729
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,880
forever investigators want to know why
730
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,720
it's happening so
731
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:09,240
fast at these depths there's very little
732
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:11,160
oxygen in the water so metal should rust
733
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:14,000
extremely
734
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,920
slowly yet on the Expedition footage
735
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,280
they can clearly see the ship caked in
736
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,839
weird formations that certainly look
737
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:23,720
like some kind of
738
00:38:20,839 --> 00:38:26,560
rust they call them
739
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:29,440
rusticles I was absolutely stunned by
740
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,640
the size the colors they're very orange
741
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,720
and brown and yet when you're close to
742
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,720
the they're greens and purples and reds
743
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:39,480
and yellows and every color of the
744
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:41,839
rainbow in the lab they x-ray pieces of
745
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,920
rustical recovered from the
746
00:38:41,839 --> 00:38:46,480
ship what they find inside isn't what
747
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,720
might be
748
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:53,160
expected this is no ordinary rust the
749
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:55,920
structure inside this hard looking shell
750
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,920
is extremely
751
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:02,760
fragile they're filled with millions of
752
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:05,880
ducks and tunnels and passageways and
753
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:09,200
all of these little cavities and all
754
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:11,839
sorts of nutrients are stored in
755
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:14,599
there for the microbiologists on the
756
00:39:11,839 --> 00:39:17,880
team it's Crystal Clear the rusticles
757
00:39:14,599 --> 00:39:17,880
are formed by living
758
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:23,119
organisms and when they run further
759
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,520
tests there's no doubting what these
760
00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:28,280
organisms
761
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:30,839
are bacteria
762
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:33,560
we found five different communities of
763
00:39:30,839 --> 00:39:35,960
bacteria living inside a rusle and then
764
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:39,920
you've got another community living on
765
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:42,040
the outside makes them a very complex
766
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,599
little
767
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:47,480
beast some of these little beasts are
768
00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:49,520
anerobic bacteria life forms that don't
769
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,880
need oxygen to
770
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,920
survive instead for their energy Supply
771
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:58,599
they extract iron and minerals from the
772
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,599
ship's metal work
773
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,520
like a swarm of microscopic piranhas
774
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:06,240
billions upon billions of them are
775
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,240
feeding on the
776
00:40:08,210 --> 00:40:14,000
[Music]
777
00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:17,400
wreck the impact of the reticles on this
778
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,920
extremely large ship is
779
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,680
overwhelming by studying these tiny
780
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:25,160
creatures the microbiologists can now
781
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:28,040
confidently lay down a time frame for
782
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:30,760
the Titanic's final destruction if we
783
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:33,400
went back in 500 years Titanic would
784
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,280
look fairly similar to what the bow
785
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,880
section looks right now as far as the
786
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:41,920
hull would be it would still be a very
787
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:43,720
u-shaped very formal looking docked ship
788
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,520
however I would expect the deterioration
789
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:49,280
to move from the back to the front so
790
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,839
that a lot of the prominade at deck
791
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,680
would have fallen onto
792
00:40:50,839 --> 00:40:57,440
itself if we were to revisit Titanic in
793
00:40:53,680 --> 00:41:01,319
a thousand years I would not be able to
794
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:04,200
tell sort of the size of the Magnificent
795
00:41:01,319 --> 00:41:04,200
ship that she is
796
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,240
today I would expect that all of the
797
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:12,680
decking would be gone and the bow would
798
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:15,520
be filled with what would look like sort
799
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,520
of piles of
800
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:21,400
rust if you Revisited the stern section
801
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,880
you would see that the deterioration had
802
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:26,520
greatly increased simply because the
803
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,680
damage that section had sustained during
804
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:32,240
the sinking
805
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:34,319
the bacteria would have taken girds and
806
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:37,040
basically had encrusted them in
807
00:41:34,319 --> 00:41:38,720
rusticles and deterior to the point of
808
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,280
being a pile of iron ore at the bottom
809
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:43,000
of the seaf
810
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:45,200
Flor long before that happens the
811
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,560
Titanic's custodians will have to make
812
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,560
tough
813
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:56,240
decisions what do we do is do we stand
814
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,960
by and allow the bow section to collapse
815
00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:02,079
upon itself
816
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:05,359
or in the future uh do we actually
817
00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:08,160
design some projects for
818
00:42:05,359 --> 00:42:11,920
Recovery uh of certain types of
819
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:13,720
artifacts uh uh from the bow section but
820
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,400
any suggestion of bringing up more
821
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:18,640
artifacts is
822
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,760
controversial for some descendants of
823
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:24,240
those who lost their lives this is a
824
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:28,160
grave site and should be left
825
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:29,920
alone initially David Gallow agreed
826
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,079
but since the objects have been put on
827
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:36,240
display he's less
828
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:39,000
sure we went to see the Titanic exhibit
829
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:42,119
and I realize then what a powerful
830
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,800
storytelling method it was to have some
831
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:46,440
of those artifacts with you so that you
832
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:50,440
could just you could show
833
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:52,400
someone for me the artifacts are the
834
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,599
historical memory of the
835
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,839
ship we can leave everything on the
836
00:42:54,599 --> 00:42:59,119
bottom of the ocean forever and it will
837
00:42:56,839 --> 00:42:59,119
be
838
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:05,240
Lo however badly the Titanic
839
00:43:01,839 --> 00:43:08,040
deteriorates one thing certain thanks to
840
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:10,640
the new science much of the ship can now
841
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,640
never be
842
00:43:11,559 --> 00:43:16,119
lost the edge of the sight's been
843
00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:19,240
defined for the first time so its
844
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:19,240
archaeology can be
845
00:43:19,319 --> 00:43:24,160
protected every inch of the wreck inside
846
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:27,160
the perimeter has been scanned and
847
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,160
analyzed
848
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:32,960
every known artifact lock mapped and
849
00:43:29,839 --> 00:43:35,720
captured in this digital duplicate world
850
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,720
that will never
851
00:43:37,559 --> 00:43:44,559
erode Frozen in time we can see and
852
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,559
study the wreck like never
853
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:52,680
before in broad
854
00:43:48,599 --> 00:43:54,559
daylight explorers now and in the future
855
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:58,720
can continue their
856
00:43:54,559 --> 00:44:04,440
investigation here on the drain ocean
857
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:04,440
floor where the Titanic rests
858
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:23,749
