Ce que les Survivants du Titanic ont vu Pendant qu’il Sombrait

Sympa

Imaginez-vous sur le Titanic alors qu'il coulait—les survivants l'ont décrit comme à la fois surréaliste et terrifiant. Ils voyaient le chaos tout autour d'eux, avec des gens se précipitant vers les canots de sauvetage et le navire basculant à un angle fou. La nuit était glaciale, et la seule lumière provenait des étoiles et des fusées éclairantes du navire. Certains survivants se rappellent avoir entendu l'orchestre du navire jouer de la musique, essayant de calmer tout le monde. Alors que le Titanic se cassait en deux et commençait à couler dans l'océan sombre, beaucoup ont vu la grande poupe se dresser avant de disparaître sous l'eau. C'était une scène obsédante, comme quelque chose sorti d'un cauchemar.

00:00Iceberg, right in front of you!

00:04The Titanic hits the ice and the water quickly infiltrates.

00:07Third class passengers are trapped

00:10and there are not enough lifeboats to save everyone.

00:14Panic spreads.

00:15Violins play a funeral melody.

00:17Then, the ship finally sinks.

00:20Of course, we all know this iconic scene from the movie Titanic.

00:24But what if we told you that Hollywood didn't reveal everything to us?

00:27To know the true story of this icy night of 1912,

00:31we have to go back a little.

00:35The watchman shouts,

00:37Iceberg, right in front of you!

00:39This part is, in fact, in line with reality.

00:42Around midnight,

00:44Frederic Fleet sees a dark mass,

00:47darker than the sea,

00:48right in front of the ship.

00:50As he approaches it, he recognizes an iceberg.

00:53We immediately reverse

00:55and the Titanic makes a sudden turn.

00:58Rather than hitting it hard,

01:00the boat rubs against the side of the iceberg,

01:02scattering pieces of ice on the front deck.

01:05If you remember, in the movie,

01:06Jack and Rose share a romantic moment

01:09just before the ship is shaken by the impact of the iceberg.

01:13Everything seems to shake,

01:14like during a slight earthquake.

01:17Some passengers have actually seen such a shake,

01:20but believe Frank Prentiss,

01:22a survivor of the Titanic,

01:24things didn't quite go that way.

01:28According to him,

01:29the shock was not so brutal

01:31and was more like a sudden braking in a car.

01:34The ship stopped,

01:36and that's about it.

01:37Some passengers were even awakened by the collision,

01:40proof that the impact was not as violent as one might think.

01:44Mr. Prentiss, intrigued by the situation,

01:46left his cabin to go to the deck.

01:49Once there,

01:50he saw only a little ice scattered on the surface,

01:53far from the massive iceberg that Jack and Rose were looking at.

01:56However,

01:57we now know that the real damage

01:59occurred under the floating line,

02:01where a split of the iceberg opened a 90-meter gap

02:05in the ship's hull.

02:07When the crew seized the extent of the damage,

02:09they immediately began to issue distress calls

02:12to the surrounding ships to ask for their help.

02:15In a scene from the movie,

02:16the radio operator informs the captain

02:18that only one ship is nearby,

02:20the RMS Carpathia,

02:22which will eventually rescue many passengers.

02:25But in reality,

02:26several ships were in the vicinity.

02:28It is now assumed that the SS Californian

02:31was only about 37 kilometers from the Titanic.

02:34This ship could potentially have assisted the shipwreck,

02:37or at least see the distress rockets illuminate the sky.

02:41And yet,

02:42for reasons that still escape us,

02:44no attempt to assist has been made.

02:48Let's go back to our story.

02:50At this stage,

02:51it has become imperative to leave the ship.

02:53One hour less than a quarter,

02:55the first rescue channel, number 7,

02:57has been launched.

02:59As shown in the film,

03:00women and children were asked to board first.

03:03However,

03:04in reality,

03:05several women were reluctant,

03:07and some even refused to board.

03:10Mr. Prentice explained that this reluctance

03:12was mainly due to two factors.

03:15On the one hand,

03:16the height at which the channels were located,

03:18a free fall of 20 meters that frightened the passengers.

03:21On the other hand,

03:22many women did not believe that the Titanic,

03:25described as insubmersible,

03:26could really sink.

03:28The idea of evacuating on board a channel

03:30seemed to them to be clearly overshadowed.

03:33This state of mind could explain

03:34why Eloise Smith,

03:36a first-class passenger,

03:37reported that at first,

03:39neither panic nor chaos prevailed.

03:41Other survivors have confirmed

03:43that no woman or child cried.

03:46However,

03:47a source of concern for the crew was very real.

03:50The fear that the rescue channels

03:51would give way under too heavy a weight.

03:54This is one of the advanced explanations

03:56to justify why the first rescue channels

03:58left with so few passengers on board.

04:01Channel number 7, for example,

04:03only carried 27 people,

04:05although it was able to accommodate up to 65.

04:08The Titanic had a total of 20 rescue channels,

04:12capable of carrying

04:13nearly half of the 2,200 people

04:15on board that night.

04:17However, this did not happen.

04:20And it is now clear that the passengers

04:22ignored that there would not be enough room

04:25for everyone.

04:27While the women took their places

04:28calmly in the first channels,

04:30the musicians headed towards the bridge

04:32to play in the sole purpose

04:33of calming the passengers.

04:35This fact is well known.

04:36But some survivors have claimed

04:38to have never seen or heard the musicians.

04:41Not a single violinist in sight.

04:44However, it should not be concluded

04:45that Hollywood has deceived you.

04:47The musicians did play

04:49for more than two hours

04:50after the collision with the iceberg.

04:53Perhaps these passengers

04:54were simply too panicked

04:56to notice the music,

04:57or that the orchestra started playing

04:59later than we imagined.

05:03Now let's move on to the question

05:04of the terrible treatment

05:06reserved for third-class passengers.

05:08The film depicts the crew

05:10as merciless,

05:11locking the most disadvantaged

05:12under the bridge,

05:13thus depriving them of any chance

05:14to access the canals

05:15and save their lives.

05:17However,

05:18the official investigation

05:19on the disaster

05:20concluded that

05:21this was not entirely accurate.

05:23Certainly,

05:24fewer third-class passengers

05:25survived compared

05:26to those of the upper classes,

05:28but other factors

05:29also played a role.

05:31Many third-class passengers

05:32hesitated to abandon the ship,

05:34preferring to cling

05:35to their personal effects

05:37and encounter more difficulties

05:39to climb back from their cabin,

05:41located at the ends of the ship.

05:46Some survivors testified

05:47that they were not locked up,

05:49quite the opposite.

05:50Mrs. Georges Wabi,

05:51a third-class Lebanese

05:53traveler,

05:54said that when the incident

05:55was declared,

05:56some brave members of the crew

05:58and first-class passengers

06:00helped her climb the upper bridge

06:02and board a lifeboat.

06:07At first,

06:08the Titanic was sinking

06:09progressively,

06:10compartment by compartment.

06:12Passengers observed

06:13the rising of the water

06:14and perceived cracks

06:15and detonations.

06:16Then,

06:17a big

06:18boom

06:19was heard.

06:20Some claimed

06:21that it was

06:22a single explosion,

06:23while others

06:24described a series

06:25of small explosions,

06:26thinking that it was

06:27the tiles

06:28collapsing one by one.

06:29Another group

06:30only perceived

06:31a deaf rumble.

06:33Thus,

06:34the stories

06:35about the sounds

06:36are diverse,

06:37but the reality

06:38is undeniable.

06:39At 2.18 a.m.,

06:40the lights of the Titanic

06:41went out,

06:42plunging the ship

06:43into total darkness.

06:44While the bow

06:45was sinking more,

06:46the stern was

06:47standing up

06:48out of the water,

06:49exerting a considerable

06:50pressure on the center

06:51of the ship

06:52and thus causing

06:53its rupture.

06:54In the film

06:55by James Cameron,

06:56this moment is represented

06:57in an absolutely

06:58dramatic way,

06:59with the ship

07:00sinking almost

07:01vertically.

07:02But in reality,

07:03the rupture

07:04probably took place

07:05from a much

07:06more moderate angle,

07:07probably just below

07:08the floating line.

07:09However,

07:10the inclination

07:11was sufficient

07:12so that the passengers

07:13could no longer

07:14stand up

07:15and be precipitated

07:16in the water.

07:17It is interesting

07:18to note

07:19that it was only

07:20in 1985,

07:21after the discovery

07:22of the wreck,

07:23that the rupture

07:24of the Titanic

07:25in two

07:26was confirmed.

07:27Until then,

07:28the stories

07:29of the survivors

07:30varied,

07:31but at least

07:32eight of them

07:33claimed to have

07:34seen the ship

07:35sink.

07:36One person,

07:37a first-class

07:38passenger,

07:39had described

07:40this event

07:41as a clear slice

07:42of the Titanic,

07:43as made by a knife.

07:44However,

07:45a small group

07:46of witnesses

07:47argued that the Titanic

07:48had sunk

07:49in one block.

07:50At the time,

07:51this version

07:52was more widely

07:53accepted,

07:54because many

07:55refused to admit

07:56that a ship

07:57allegedly indestructible

07:58could have

07:59broken in two.

08:00Why

08:01these contradictory

08:02testimonies?

08:03What we do not

08:04know is that

08:05the Titanic

08:06sank

08:07in one block.
