Creator's Key Takeaways
Titanic's demise had been anything but gentle. It was terrifying, sudden, and violent.
The forward funnel, the height of a five-story building, came crashing down on their heads.
The ship broke in halves, and it seemed to me as if all the engines and everything that was in the after part slid out into the forward part.
The measured fracture toughness of the steel from the hull of Titanic is unacceptably low for use as a structural material at ice water temperatures.
