Washington – On the 113th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, National Geographic will present what he calls an unprecedented look at the most infamous maritime disaster in history.
Using avant -garde underwater scanning technology, the documentary offers an impressive Titanic digital model, precise to each rivet.
In 2022, the filmmaker Anthony Geffen and the Dear Water mapping company Magellan completed a detailed 3D scanning project, which took almost two years to analyze.
According to National Geographic, research challenges long -term heroes assumptions on the events after the titanic collision with an iceberg.
The luxurious ship hit an iceberg less than 400 miles south of Canada around 11:40 pm on April 14, 1912, and sank within three hours of the collision.
Of the 2,240 passengers and the crew on board, more than 1,500 perished in waters that were estimated at around 28 ° F, which caused a rapid start or hypothermia.
One of the most notable findings of the documentary is the discovery of an open steam valve in the remains, which indicates that it did not stay in its posts to maintain electricity flowing as long as possible.
The heroic effort allowed signs of anguish to be sent long after the ship hit the iceberg. However, being 370 miles south of Terranova, Canada, and about 1,200 miles in New York City, there were few ships in the vicinity capable of response.
The documentary also sheds light on the violent disappearance of the Titanic, which contrasts with the representation in the 1997 thriller by James Cameron “Titanic”.
“The Titanic was not divided cleanly into two, it was violently torn, tearing the first -class cabins where prominent passengers such as JJ Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim can seek refuge as the ship down,” “” “” “” “” “” “
The modern public could recognize those passengers portrayed by the actors Jonathan Hyde and Michael Ensign-Neinder, of which they survived the sinking.
In addition, experts presented evidence that exonerates the first officer William Murdoch, who has accused or abandoning his position.
According to the documentary, it is believed that Murdoch and his crew were dragged by the sea and could not reach one of the few boats of life on board.
Because the Luxury Ocean Liat was considered “practical insinuable”, the Titanic only had about 20 lifeboats, very few for everyone on board.
The estimated capacity of lifeboats was less than 1,200 people in a perfect scenario, well below 2,240 people on board when the ship sank.
Deep water scans revealed that the wreck is deteriorating at a fast pace about 12,500 feet under the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Billionaire Larry Connor plans to explore the shipwreck of deep waters in 2026 using a submersible submarine, which has obtained significant criticisms of governments and families with victims on board.
