Images reveal that engineers strive to keep the electrical systems working until the ship is buried in the water.

For the documentary prepared by National Geographic and Atlantic Productions, more than 700,000 images were taken at a depth of 3,800 meters with submarine robots. Titanic’s one -to -one digital twin was created with the data obtained.

Experts, simulation data on the body of the ship’s A4 paper -sized holes, and even small -sized damage caused sunset, he said.

New findings confirming witnesses

According to the information provided by Independent; In the new screening, a limbo window was probably broken as a result of the impact of the iceberg. This finding confirms the statements that surviving passengers have entered the rooms of ice.

Some of the boilers in the boiler room at the back of the ship collapsed inward, which showed that the accidents are still working. In addition, the open position of a valve indicates that steam flow continues to the electricity generation system.

“TITANIC still has stories to tell”

Titanic expert Parks Stephenson said, “Titanic has the last surviving witness and still stories to tell”.

Stephenson emphasized that it is critical for understanding what it is to imagine the entire wreck.

They died so that the lights wouldn’t go out

The engine team in the boiler room of the ship, the coal rowing trying to keep the systems working and died for this cause said. According to the statements of the passengers, the lights continued to burn even when the ship sank.

Experts, although the ship hit the iceberg only, this impact creates small holes along the body and the water slowly infiltrates the compartments, he said.

Simon Benson, a Maritime Architecture Specialist at the University of Newcastle, said, “Titanic’s sinking was almost bound to the holes of the size of A4. However, the water was slowly filled into the whole ship because these holes spread over a long area.”
