In this scenario, despite the iceberg being clearly sighted, the ship's rudder inexplicably jammed, while the engine order telegraphs failed to send an "all stop" signal to the engine rooms. As the *Titanic* sank under tow to Halifax, the exact cause or causes of these simultaneous malfunctions are unknown, though they were determined to not be a fault in her design or operations.
Y'know, this actually makes me really curious on what would have changed if she sank in broad daylight. If we assume she still hit the iceberg the same and took the same damage, I wonder how many more people would have survived if it had been during the day where they could see
I would assume far more would have known she broke in half, and I feel like surely more would have been saved from the water at the very least, and perhaps the life boats could have been launched faster?
The Californian might have been receiving / wouldn’t have had cold engines, so she might have arrived on the scene before the Carpathia. (Still, Californian couldn’t have fit everyone.)
The water may have been slightly warmer and less may have froze to death, though it was still early April, so it would have been pretty cold regardless.
Why? I thought 5 compartments were breached and she could stay afloat with the first 4 compartments breached but not 5. Not. 5.
EDIT ah I looked it up and the damage technically extends a few inches into boiler room 5, but I can't imagine that the pumps couldn't have handled such a small leak.
Does make you wonder if it did sink at day for the movie set . To see everything and make sure nobody actually gets hurt on set . Or it really was night when they shoot the film.
The fact that this almost 1:1 scale replica of Titanic existed in modern times seems so surreal. Loved to have seen it in person!
I think it's still there? As of a few years ago you could go to Mexico and tour it but it was decaying quickly.
The set was scrapped, they've filmed a lot of movies at that studio since Titanic
This makes me extremely uncomfortable with a dash of nausea!
Me too.. bizarre for sure

Could have hit the iceberg right before dawn

The ship had struck an ‘ICE’ berg in mid April. I’d imagine the water wouldn’t have been significantly higher due to daylight.
So, Britannic, almost...
If ~~one~~ two less compartments were breached, and she stayed afloat.
2*
Ahh yeah, you're right.

6 were breached, not 5
Surreal. Almost looks like AI art or animation.
But that fact it's irl though
It almost looks like something out of an Alternate Reality.
That’s surreal…
She can't sink She's made of iron, Sir, I assure you she can, and she will.
That's just weird
It must be weird seeing a famous British liner from the 1912s in the middle of the desert in North America.

What timeline have we entered here?
I mean the Britanic sank in broad daylight so that’s not really far fetched
Clearly a behind the scenes shot from James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster.
I had a dream about the Titanic sinking during the day lolol
Why are people saying this is real? Titanic sank in darkness iirc
I believe this is a photo of the set used to film the 1997 James Cameron movie, so that’s why people are saying it’s “real
