Even after 113 years, the collapse of the Titanic is still attractive. Two years ago, British company Magellan released a high plow 3D model of debris. It was analyzed in detail for documentation. The details were discovered which were previously known from the reports of only eyewitnesses.
The scan is gathered from 700,000 individual images and was Published by BBC in 2023The scan first shows a complete picture of debris and enables the details that cannot be seen in previous photos.

Titanic bug
For example, the scan shows a bull eye whose glass is broken. It was probably destroyed in a confrontation with iceberg. Till now, only reports are known to the survivors who said that ice was found in some cabins. Objects from the possession of passengers that are scattered on the seabed can also be seen.

“It’s at a crime site: you have to appreciate the evidence in the context in which you are,” said Park Stephenson, who was involved in the new project. BBC“And to keep a wide eye on the debris in its entirety, it is the key to understand what happened here.”
Boilers stood under steam till the end
The assessment was able to verify another eyewitness report: the survivors have said that the lights were burnt on the board until the ship sinks. The scan shows the machine room that is located at the point where the ship breaks when they go separate. Some boilers are concave, from where analysts conclude that the ship was in operation when drowned. An open valve was also found at the back, indicating that the generator was still supplied with steam.

Behind the Titanic
Some crew people put the coal in the boiler to the end and thus ensured that the lights did not go out on the board. As a result, the deck was illuminated and the rescue boats were not completely released for water in the dark. Stephennson says, “They placed chaos in chess as long as possible, and all of this symbolizes this open steam valve, which was just standing behind the ship.” The workers were killed, but they saved their lives for many people through their brave action.
For documentation, a team around Jeom-Kee Paik once again settled in depth due to the accident. BBC University College London said, “We have used advanced numerical algorithms, computer -added modeling and supercomputers to recreate Titanic collapse.”
The simulation suggests that the ship only touches the iceberg. It has torn many comparatively small holes in the torso. The ship was designed so that it would swim even when the four chambers of the torso ran with water. According to the findings of the London team, six chambers were damaged.
Don’t big, but many people
“The difference between Titanic’s collapse and non -down makes the shape of a sheet of paper,” said Chifbyar at the University of Newcastle, Simon Banson. “The problem is that these small holes expand on a large part of the torso, so that the water gradually enters through the leaks.” Damage cannot be seen as the lower part of the bug is hidden in the seabed.
At its time, the Titanic aims to serve the world’s largest ship’s largest ship and line service between Southampton and New York. On her first visit to Atlantic, she collided with an iceberg and drowned about 650 km from the Canadian coast on 15 April 1912. It ended in two parts, which is about 600 meters from a depth of 3,800 meters. Out of the estimated 2,224 people of the board, more than 1,500 people were killed. Titanic is still the most serious shipping accident in peace. While half the children and three -fourth of the women survived, 80 percent of the men died. The first class was the highest survival rate among the passengers of the women’s business members.
Help for the Titanic came out of the Nuusotian Capital Halifax in 1912. In view of many corpses, Canadian people had to invent a system for their administration. Since then, the corpse notes have been attached to identify. Most Titanic graves are also available in Halifax. Shipwrack was found only in 1985.
Documentation Titanic: Digital resurrection The National Geographic and Atlantic Productions was produced and is to be broadcast at the National Geographic US program on 13 April. The exhibition is currently in Cologne Titanic: an immersive trip To see. It opens in Hamburg on 17 April.
Stephennson says, “The last living eyewitness to the Titanic destruction is a witness and it is still to tell something.” “She only gives a piece of price from her stories. Every time she leaves us with more desire.”
