Why Did the Titanic Keep Moving After the Iceberg?

On the night of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic scraped an iceberg in the North Atlantic and then, according to crew who survived, her engines started again and she kept moving. This documentary examines one of the strangest unanswered questions of the Titanic disaster: did the ship keep sailing after the collision, and why would Captain Edward Smith order it? We look at the real damage found on the wreck by sonar in 1996 (not the long gash you've seen in the movies), why sixteen watertight compartments still weren't enough, what Thomas Andrews worked out in his head as the mail room flooded, and the argument that forward motion forced water into the hull faster and stole minutes from a ship that had only two hours and forty minutes left. The testimony is real, the physics is real, and the honest answer is more uncomfortable than any conspiracy theory. #titanic #documentary #scienceexplained #historyfacts
