SCREAMING

METAL CREAKING LOUDLY

CRASH

SCREAMING CONTINUES

LOUD GASP

SCREAMING STOPS

I fell into a mass of people.

Everything I touched seemed
to be... women's hair.

Children crying...

..women screaming.

Their hair in my face.

My God, if only I could forget
those hands and faces.

He told me that, apparently,
we'd struck something.

BELL DINGS

Iceberg, dead ahead!

LOUD CRASH
ALARM RINGS

I didn't become alarmed.

There was no danger, they said.

MORSE CODE BEEPS

I told her to come at once.

We were sinking.

Can you imagine the chaos
and the fear and the terror

of finding water in your cabin,

and you're in the bowels
of the ship?

It makes me panic,
just thinking about it.

The story of the Titanic is
the human condition spread out,

pinned on a board for us to examine.

Then came the terrible cry,
"Women and children,

"women and children."

Two men lifted me up
and put me in a boat.

It's these small decisions, these
little butterfly-effect moments

that change the outcome.

GUNSHOT

It really was every man for himself.

SHOUTING
LOUD CRASH

My heart stood still.

Pull!

If we're going to die...

LOUD CREAKING
SCREAMING

..best to die gripping something.

It's a split-second decision.

What would you do? What would I do?

MUFFLED SCREAMING

It was a terrible sight.

Men swimmin' and sinkin'.

DISTANT SCREAMING

I'd been brought up to
believe in a hell...

..after death.

But now I think I went through
a hell that night.

The last word in luxury.

The ship - palatial.

The food - delicious.

The rudder alone weighed 100 tonnes.

I sailed first-class
from Southampton.

We called at Cherbourg and,
from there, to Queenstown.

Everyone was counting
the days till we'd see

the Statue of Liberty.

My father and mother were
invited to dinner that night,

so I dined alone.

Afterward, I took a few turns
around the deck.

Being 17 years old,
I was all over the ship.

The Titanic is a ship of dreams.

The epitome of modern technology,

of luxury and opulence.

It looks like a cross
between The Ritz

and an English grand country house.

Titanic was the showpiece
for the shipping line.

Built by Harland & Wolff,

the famous shipyard in Belfast.

She is absolutely huge -
ten decks, 840 cabins.

An absolute masterpiece
of human engineering.

I was afraid of the sea.

Please turn.

But Harvey, my husband,

and our eight-year-old daughter,
Majorie, and I decided

to go to America that way.

The first few days,
I was a bit seasick

and kept to my cabin
most of the time,

but on Sunday, April 14th,

I was up and about.

After I'd eaten, I listened to
the orchestra for a little while,

then I went back to my cabin.

There was no moon.

A brilliant starry night.

I'd never seen the sea smoother.

It had become much colder.

It was indeed a night for bed,

warmth and cosy thoughts.

How good it was to be in my bunk
at last, devouring magazines.

At 23, I was the youngest
stewardess on the ship.

I was enjoying the
trip tremendously.

The first three days were...
very calm.

We were another three days
before we would reach New York.

It was a pleasure to go to bed.

My pretty little cabin,

with its electric heater
and pink curtains.

I hadn't meant to sail
on the Titanic.

Urgent business in New York
forced me to take

the first available boat.

But everything aboard
this lovely ship reassured me.

It's a Sunday.

First-class passengers have probably
spent the day enjoying themselves.

They had eaten roast duckling
and sirloin of beef

and foie gras and truffles
and lamb with mint sauce

and stuffed zucchini
and chocolate eclairs.

Maybe they've gone to the sauna
in the Turkish baths

or they've played a round of squash

or gone to the gym.

Perhaps the men had gone
to the smoking room,

they'd had a cigar, a pipe,
they'd played a round of cards.

Maybe the women had gone
to the reading and writing room

to have a moment of quiet.

They've had a joyful, relaxing day.

They're full of anticipation
that they're going to be arriving

in New York in two or
three days' time.

It's been the perfect day.

IRISH DANCING MUSIC PLAYS

My name is Celiney Yasbeck.

My husband and I were
on our way to America

to make our home.

He had been to America before,
where he had a business.

It's a misconception that
Titanic was first and foremost

a luxury ship.

Titanic was primarily
an emigrant ship,

and it was to ferry people,
working people,

from Europe to America.

About three quarters of
the Titanic's passengers

are in second or third-class,

and it's really not surprising that
people did not want to go to bed.

This might be the first time
they've been away from home.

And maybe it's the
first taste of freedom

from very oppressive environments.

They are young people embarking
on a new life to a new world.

It would have been wonderful.

I was a bride of 50 days.

By collating all of these memories
from different parts of the ship -

memories that could easily
have been lost to history -

that's the way in.

That's how we understand
the story of the Titanic.

LAUGHTER
INDISTINCT CHATTER

Need more in the back!

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

I joined her in Belfast,

while she was still in
the builders' hands.

The biggest and finest
ship in the world.

On that night of April 14th,

the First Officer took over from me.

We both remarked on
the ship's steadiness,

how comfortably she was
slipping along.

We knew perfectly well
we were entering the region

where ice might be sighted

and had taken precautions.

As none of these bergs lay
on our course, well...

..they didn't directly concern us.

I passed on the course,
speed, weather conditions,

wished him joy of a few perishing
cold hours, and went below.

It doesn't matter
whether it's a ship,

all the way down to a section
of Marines, in my circumstance.

There is a system
in command structure.

Everyone had a job to do,

and this is the point where
the ship just begins to tick over.

The navigation crew that are
at the top of the ship

are settling into
their evening routine.

The engineers that are down
in the boiler room

are working on a four-hour shift
to just keep the ship moving.

The Captain is retired to his cabin,
comfortable that his crew,

that ultimately have been at work
since the ship left Belfast,

are very much in control.

Really, it's the beginning
of what should be another

calm night on the Titanic.

DISTANT MORSE CODE BEEPS

I joined the Marconi
staff last July,

and was transferred to
the Titanic at Belfast.

I didn't have much to do aboard,
except to relieve Phillips,

the Senior Operator.

CLOCK TICKS
MORSE CODE CONTINUES

I went to bed.

I was conscious of waking up

and hearing Phillips
sending telegrams.

From leaving Southampton,

we'd got through about
250 telegrams.

BEEPING

It's a tense situation
in the wireless room

because the equipment
broke down the day before.

And so he's got this great
backlog of work to do.

And he's focused on it,
he's concentrating on it.

The last thing he wants is
new information coming in.

It came out that vital
messages received in

the wireless room that night

had never been delivered
to the bridge.

Warning all ships of
heavy ice in an area

right ahead of the Titanic.

And what was still worse...
not far away.

Lightoller is trying to say,

"I knew this was important.

"It should have gone to
the bridge, and it didn't,

"and it's the wireless
operator's fault."

But that's not true
because the message didn't have

the crucial prefix of MSG -
Master Service Gram -

which would have meant that
Jack Phillips would

immediately have prioritised it
and sent it up to the bridge.

That didn't happen.

We had this unique opportunity
to understand the sinking of

the Titanic from the perspective
of those who were actually there.

We're starting to piece
things together,

but we're working with
people's memories.

In reality,
memories are going to distort.

And there might be a bit of a bias
where people will try and

make sense of what was going on.

There are people who will
deliberately distort and mislead.

But mostly, you know, it's just that

people do remember
things differently.

You're not looking for
the stone-cold truths.

We need to bring together
all of those memories,

see what seems to be
consistent through it all,

but also to recognise that
every individual has

a different experience,
and we have to respect that.

Frederick Fleet,
Sailor, Look Out Man,

Southampton, England.

25 next October.

A ship or anything.

Watch was nearly over.

I had done the best part
of two hours.

It was not very large
when I first saw it.

A black mass.

It kept getting larger
as we were getting nearer it.

BELL DINGS THREE TIMES

I was Fourth Officer.

I was just coming along the deck

and almost abreast of
the Captain's Quarters

when I heard the report
of three bells.

RINGING ECHOES

That signifies something's
been seen ahead.

I struck three bells first, then
I went straight to the telephone...

- PHONE RINGS
- ..and rang them up on the bridge.

- ECHOES:
- Iceberg, dead ahead!

Then I heard the First Officer
give the order.

HE GIVES ORDER

The wheel was put to starboard.

She started to go to port
whilst I was on the telephone.

My mate saw it and he told me

he could see the bow coming round.

OFF-CAMERA: They swung the ship's
bow away from the object?

Yes.

Cos we were making straight for it.

What do you do
if you trained at sea?

You try to avoid the obstacle.

It's a split-second decision -
and there's just a cliche,

isn't there, in the way we talk
about trying to turn the Titanic?

You can't turn this
giant boat in time.

LOUD CRASH
METAL CREAKING

CREAKING ECHOES

And a red light goes up,
and the ship is supposed to stop.

ALARM RINGS

This red light came up.

- ECHOING:
- Shut all dampers!

And I'm the man in charge of
the watch, so I shouted

"shut all dampers" to shut
the wind off the fires.

Shut all dampers!

Shut all dampers!

LOUD CREAKING
ALARM CONTINUES

The crash came before
we had them all shut.

I didn't even feel the shock.

I hardly knew it had happened.

There was no jolt whatsoever.

I was about to step into bed
when I seemed to sway slightly.

If I'd had a brim-full glass
of water in my hand,

not a drop would have spilled.

METAL GROANING
LOUD THUD

I was soon awakened by a long...

..grinding shock.

METAL GROANING CONTINUES

IMPACT ECHOES

There was a backward jerk,

followed by a shorter one.

And the ship started to back,
like a train.

LOUD METAL SCRAPING ECHOES

Then, er...

..a low...

..crunching, ripping sound...

LOUD SCRAPING CONTINUES

..as Titanic shivered.

SCRAPING GROWS LOUDER

I was fast asleep.

LOUD IMPACT

Almost threw me off the bed.

METAL CREAKING ECHOES

Suddenly, I heard
a tremendous noise.

IMPACT ECHOES

Immediately, I knew the ship
had been hit hard.

When we were alongside it, it was...

..a bit higher than
the forecast led.

Like, 50 feet, I should say.

OFF-CAMERA: Was there much
of a jar to the ship?

No.

Just a slight grinding noise.

Did it alarm you when it struck?

I thought it was a narrow shave.

You thought it was a narrow shave?

Yes.

You know, up on the top deck,
people are thinking to themselves,

"Oh! That was close,
but we got away with it."

You know, it's just a near miss
that somebody writes down in a log.

But they don't know that this
iceberg had a very large section

jutting out of it
underneath the water.

ALARM RINGS

LOUD CRASHING
METAL CREAKING

Water came pouring in,

about two feet from
where I was standing.

The shipside was torn...

..from the third stock hold
to the forward end.

METAL CLANGING
AND CREAKING

Open the door!

The doors dropped instantly,
automatically.

Hurry up!

We got through into
the next section.

And then the watertight
compartment closed up.

LOUD METAL IMPACT

As the iceberg strikes,
the rivets give way.

And the water starts pouring
into Boiler Room Number 6 -

that's on the starboard side
of the ship.

But Titanic is designed
to have watertight compartments

in the event of an emergency.

There's 16 compartments,

and they'd always do what
they're supposed to do -

come down, seal off the compartments

and protect the rest of the ship.

Fred Barrett and his boys
escape this wall of water.

At the moment, they are safe.

But the thing about the Titanic is

nobody had thought to put in
a direct communication system

between the boiler rooms -
which could flood -

and the bridge.

But, equally, it's not just a case
of sending somebody up quickly.

A lowly boiler operator
or a stoker goes up

and tells the Captain
what's happened.

There is a chain of command.

So there was no way that Fred
Barrett could tell the Captain

straight away what was happening,

and that lost time.

Mr Murdoch, the First Officer, said,

"We have struck an iceberg.

- ECHOING:
- ..hard to starboard,
but it was too close...

"I put her hard to starboard
but it was too close, she hit it."

He also said,
"I intended to port around it,

"but she hit before
I could do any more."

Show me.

We walked out onto the bridge

to take a look at the iceberg.

It seemed to be a small black mass,

not rising very high
out of the water.

The ship was past it then.

It couldn't have extended,
er, above the ship's rail.

Captain Smith,
the Captain of the Titanic,

was a very experienced seaman,

a very highly-respected seaman.

He'd served in the
Royal Naval Reserve,

as well as in the Merchant Navy.

He was coming to the
end of his career,

and he must have been very, very
proud that he was taking Titanic,

this world-beating ship,
across the Atlantic,

and that would be a wonderful end
to what was a glittering career.

And, suddenly, of course,
there's a collision.

It's the last thing you want.

He would have been annoyed,

as well as keen,
to solve the problem

as quickly as he could.

The engine stopped.

The sudden quiet was... disturbing.

ENGINE WINDS DOWN

SILENCE

When there's that sudden
cut of the engines,

it's going to be really noticeable.

Something's going on,
something's not right,

something's not as it should be.

I lay still.

I waited for Ann, my cabin mate,
to speak for...

..I knew she was awake.

I looked over the side
of my bunk at her,

and she returned by saying,
in her calm way,

"Sounds as if something
has happened."

Passengers were really
left in the dark.

There was no tannoy system or
announcement of what was going on,

of what to do.

They had to work it out themselves.

MUFFLED FOOTSTEPS

I could hear the footsteps of people
on the deck above my head.

FOOTSTEPS CONTINUE

And there was some stamping
and queer noises,

as though the ship's tackle
was being pulled about.

My husband said there must
have been some slight accident

in the engine room.

He put on his coat and left me.

DOOR SHUTS

Different people will react to
the situation in different ways,

but a number of passengers have
no qualms at all about going up

onto the boat deck and finding
someone to enquire what's going on.

It was bitterly cold.

I moved around the deck, trying
to discover what had happened.

Have you seen any of the officers?

There were quite a few people
standing around,

questioning each other
in a dazed kind of way.

There were many prominent people
on the passenger list -

and, because it was
her maiden voyage,

those responsible for
building the ship.

Tommy Andrews.

Designer for Harland & Wolff.

He was respected by everyone.

A great ship-builder
and a real gentleman.

A perfectionist.

Thomas Andrews was a
highly-respected -

in fact, probably the most
respected - ship designer

in the UK at this time.

Titanic was the pinnacle
of Andrews' career.

He'd been building up
to this moment,

this amazing liner that was going to
win all these different prizes,

that was the Queen of
the Seas, really.

He knew a great deal
about ship design.

He understood buoyancy, stability,
all of these issues.

She's got 16 watertight
compartments -

that's far more than most of the
liners that were steeling around.

And of those 16,
four of them could be flooded,

and the ship was still stable
and would stay afloat.

And that's why Titanic had been
billed as an unsinkable ship.

She was a fabricated steel vessel...

..of gigantic dimensions.

We're just under precaution now.

Just making a few checks,

and we'll be on our way to New York.

Please...

She was a wonderfully safe vessel.

Oh, Mr Andrews.

It's just...
It's just precautionary...

In answer to many questions,

Mr Andrews assured everybody
that we were absolutely safe.

..checking a few things, and then
we'll be on our way to New York...

She would stay afloat indefinitely.

- ECHOING:
- The ship is unsinkable.

- Sit tight.
- Thank you so much.

This one man had a piece of ice.

And I took it out of his hands,

wondering where he'd got it from,

I tried to make him understand
that there was nothing the matter.

"Go down to bed and
go to sleep again."

I-I didn't take it very seriously.

After what seemed a few moments,
my husband returned, and...

..and he was quite excited.

He exclaimed,

"We have struck an iceberg,
a big one.

"But there's no danger,
an officer just told me so."

This story reassured me.

If these people weren't worried,

why should I be?

In that particular time,
we know, in England, certainly,

there's a strong,
very hierarchical class system.

Getting the message from authority
figures that everything's OK,

even though the ship is stationary,
and they're out at sea,

and it's dark and it's cold -

for most people, that's enough.

There had been an accident,
a collision -

and yet there was
a sense of complacency

rather than a sense of urgency

to discover what exactly
has gone wrong.

Thomas Andrews was saying to people,
"Everything's fine, it's all safe,"

when he didn't have any data about
what the damage to the ship was.

And that was not
a clever thing to do.

LOUD SCRAPING

There are eight firemen
in the Number 6 section.

The second engineer shouted,
"All hands, stand by your stations."

That's for the men
to stand by the fires.

For Fred Barrett and his crew,

they need to manage the
fire in Boiler Room 6.

And he's worried that there's
going to be a minor explosion

because the freezing water
is hitting the hot coals.

Fred Barrett is in
the boiler room next door,

and the only way to assess
the damage is to climb out

of Boiler Room 5 to
this overhead gangway

that's above Boiler Room 6.

We went up an escape and
down to the boiler room.

But... we couldn't get in.

There was eight feet of water in it.

When he tries to get back down
into Boiler Room 6, he can't

because there's eight feet
of water in there

and the whole place is
already filled with steam.

But I think, when Fred Barrett
saw the situation,

he would've been still feeling
that everything could be contained.

You know, this is how the ship was
sold to passengers and crew alike.

Captain Smith looked
at the inclinometer,

which is a sort of spirit-level
type gauge which shows

whether the ship is stable or not,

and realised there was a five-degree
list in the ship to starboard.

- ECHOING:
- We're taking on water.

Captain Smith knows that,
probably, there's water.

The problem is, where is
this water coming from

and what the hell is going on?

The Titanic, of course,
was a massive ship

with a huge number of compartments.

Therefore, finding out what's
happened is a difficult

and complex task

because the ability to communicate
between parts of the ship

was very, very poor indeed.

Therefore, you have to
send a person, a runner,

to go down and look and then
come all the way back to the bridge

to tell you what on
earth is going on.

I went right down below...

..into the lowest steerage, as far
as I could go without going into

the cargo portion of the ship.

And I inspected all the decks
as I came up in the vicinity

where I thought she'd struck.

I couldn't hear any noise.

I couldn't see any damage.

Remember, the mindset is,
this ship is unsinkable.

If you believe a ship is unsinkable,

you're not looking for trouble.

Imagine it - wandering
about this vast ship,

looking for water.

He's not going to find it
because he doesn't go down

to the boiler rooms.

I boarded Titanic in Queenstown.

I'm 21 years old, I wanted to come
to America to make some money.

There were three other boys
from the same place

sleeping in the same room with me.

I jumped on the floor.

The first thing I knew,
my feet were getting wet.

I told the other fellas to get up,
that there was something wrong.

- ECHOING:
- Get back to bed.

They only laughed.

One of them says, "Get back to bed,
you're not in Ireland now."

"Go back to bed, Daniel."

I really understand where
that voice is coming from.

Something that I hear from
immigrants nowadays is this belief

that you've entered a world
of order and protection,

and security, so you don't
have to worry about anything.

This is the safest ship in the
world that's ever been built,

but it's so wrong in this context.

I turned on the light...

..and, to my surprise,
there was a stream of water

running along the floor.

The fact that water was seen
on the deck at the level

where Daniel Buckley had a cabin
would seem to indicate

that a second watertight
compartment had actually gone,

as well as the boiler room,

and that water was rising up
the bulkhead in that compartment.

And that, of course,
is extremely worrying.

But who exactly knew that
is a different issue.

Absolutely out of breath,
and he said,

"She's evidently making water fast.

"Number one tarpaulin is ballooning.

"Go tell the Captain."

At last, Boxhall gets himself
some concrete information.

The carpenter he meets is talking
about one of the tarpaulins

upon G Deck that's
covering a cargo hold.

The air in there is being
pushed out at speed, at pressure,

by the volume of water coming in.

In the cargo hold,
there's all the passengers' luggage,

there's goods that are being shipped
from companies across the Atlantic.

There's a Renault car all boxed up,

belonging to one of
the first-class passengers.

There's cases of feather boas.

There's all kinds of
crazy things in there,

but it is the entirety of
everyone's possessions.

Then, on his way to investigate,

Boxhall gets some more news.

I met the mail clerk coming up...

..and he said, "Mr Boxhall,
the mail room is filling."

Captain Smith!

I got back to the boat deck,
and I saw the Captain.

The mail room is filing, sir!

And I said, "The mail room
is filling, sir."

OFF-CAMERA: What did he say?

He walked away and left me.

He went off the bridge,
as far as I remember.

He didn't say anything to you?

No.

The Captain goes down to inspect,

accompanied by Thomas Andrews.

Here, they can see
with their own eyes

the mail room has been flooded,

and that means another
compartment is gone.

The Titanic was a ship designed
to carry mail from Great Britain,

and there were about
3,500 sacks of mail on board.

Already, these mail bags are
beginning to float away,

the mail clerks have tried
to salvage some of them,

but they can't because
the water is everywhere.

This doesn't look good
for Rule Britannia.

Seeing the speed with which
the water levels were rising

must have been quite a sobering
moment for both of them.

And, of course, this was not what
the Captain had hoped would be

his final crowning glory
in command of this splendid ship.

This was going to be
the ultimate test for him.

He was going to have to prove
himself as the sort of captain

that he thought he was

and that other people
thought he was.

But then the situation gets worse.

The Captain learns that
a third compartment is flooded.

The Captain knows that this
is a terrible circumstance -

but, equally,
Titanic was built to endure that.

There's 16 compartments -
four of them could be fully flooded,

and the ship was still stable
and wouldn't sink.

If another one, a fifth compartment,
started to be flooded,

then that changed
the equation completely.

The Captain is sitting
right at the moment of

what is known as Event Horizon.

You know, once you tip
over that precipice,

the ship is going to sink.

Any captain worth their salt
is ultimately going to

prepare for the worst

and, actually,
not even expect the best.

You have to be preparing for
things to continue to worsen.

Then came the order
to clear the lifeboats.

There was a frightful noise
of escaping steam.

STEAM HISSES

Many first-class passengers
report this unearthly scream

that comes out of the funnels.

It's the steam which has been
diverted from the engines,

now emerging from the funnels.

LOUD HISSING CONTINUES

For those who have their rooms
closest to the boat deck,

suddenly, this is very
alarming indeed.

It's a moment where they realise
that things are not as they should

be and maybe they
should be worrying.

I was uneasy.

I rushed to my husband.

"Go up on deck and
see what has happened."

He got out of his bed
rather unwillingly.

CONCERNED CHATTER
HISSING CONTINUES

On board the Titanic,
in first-class,

are American millionaires.

There are people like
Colonel John Jacob Astor IV,

who is an American business magnate.

He's one of the richest men
in the world.

And Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon sees
Astor stride over to Captain Smith

and have a private
little word with him.

I would advise you to go and put
your family into the lifeboats...

The first-class passengers
know Captain Smith,

they are able to mix with
the senior crew.

They have exclusive access.

It means that they're
part of the inner circle

and other people are not.

From the get-go, first-class
passengers are in a kind of

chumocracy with the senior crew,

and that means that they get
the information immediately

when others don't.

They have a distinct advantage
from the word go.

What has he said?

It would appear that we are
to vacate the ship.

My husband was back,
looking rather grave.

"I've been up to the bridge and
I've seen Colonel Astor," he said.

"He told me that he was
going to ask his wife to dress,

"and I think you'd
better do the same."

I hurriedly put on the warmest
clothes I could find.

As I was dressing, my secretary,
Mrs Francatelli,

came into the room very agitated.

I woke up of my own accord.

I'd promised to relieve Phillips
earlier than usual.

I asked him how he was getting on.

I think we've struck something.

I felt the ship tremble...

He told me that he'd felt
the ship tremble and stop.

He thought she'd got
damaged in some way.

Suddenly, the Captain put
his head in the cabin.

We've struck an iceberg.

"We've struck an iceberg,"
the Captain said,

"and I'm having an inspection
made to tell what it's done.

"You'd better get ready to send
a call for assistance..."

But don't send it until I tell you.

"but don't send it
until I tell you."

The Captain went away,
Phillips resumed the phones.

LOUD HISSING CONTINUES

Because there's no instant
communications between

large parts of the ship,

Captain Smith and others
still did not know fully

what the damage was to the ship.

During his inspection,
Andrews must have learnt that

a fourth compartment had flooded.

But problems in the boiler room

he was still completely unaware of.

When Andrews went down into
the boiler room, he was horrified,

horror-struck.

Water was rising,
and it was rising in spaces that

they had not realised
it would be in.

Earlier on, Andrews had said
about Titanic that she was

nearly as perfect as
human brains could achieve.

He'd put all of his knowledge
into Titanic to make her

as safe as she could be.

But, unfortunately,
the ship was doomed.

You're now at a point where
it's mathematically certain

that this ship is going to sink.

Now that the front five
compartments are flooded,

the water will start pouring
over the top of the bulkheads.

Picture an ice tray -
you start filling it at one end

and, eventually,
it will rise up over the line,

and the next compartment
and the next compartment,

and it just continues
to fill and fill.

And that is ultimately
what is going to draw this ship

to the bottom of the ocean.

My husband and I jumped up
and ran out

to see what had happened.

We were still wearing
our night clothes.

I can imagine them in my mind,
middle of the night, they wake up,

and then, suddenly, there's
the terror of finding water,

and you're in the bowels
of the ship.

You are not being told anything,
there's no announcements.

You're left to work out
what's going on

and how that impacts on
your own safety.

It's such a jarring break from
this very beautiful experience

I think they must have been
having up until this point.

We walked around to the port-side...

..and the ship had then a fair list.

We stayed there looking over
the side for about five minutes.

The list seemed very slowly
to be increasing.

Thomas Andrews was seen by another
passenger running up to the bridge

with a look of terror on his face.

There's no doubt
he realised for the first time,

"My God, we can't save the ship."

His unsinkable ship
was going to sink.

I saw the Captain.

It was then I realised
it was serious.

The Captain looked over.

He said, "We are sinking."

ECHOING: It's just precautionary.

Suddenly, orders came down.

"Everybody to the boats."

We sent an urgent distress call

and said we were sinking
by the head.

Women and children only.
That's women and children only...

If you are a family,
you will be separated.

Nobody's telling anybody
what's going on.

My husband stepped over
to an officer

and asked him a question.

What's going on?

I heard him shout back,

"Keep calm, there's no danger."
