The bow detached and tore away and because it is designed as a bow to move hydrodynamically, it basically just kept going. It turned a bit and just slowly dove into the seabed and struck at an angle and came in. The stern dropped more or less straight down.

And what then rains down afterwards is all of the smaller stuff, particularly those items that aren't metal, which are also sinking to the bottom.

Titanic, I think, has always been a compelling story because it is once again one of those laboratories in which the best and the worst of people come out. For me, some of the most profound stories are not those just of the ones who heroically did their best or those who were cowardly, but those who just simply sat back and said, this is beyond my control.

And that, to me, seems very brave in its own way. the inevitability of death, and facing that in a way.

Otherwise, they would have no idea that most likely they'd gotten lost wandering around the ship.

Titanic happened at a time when it could be shared with the global audience as it happened. In many ways, I think Titanic is the world's first modern media tragedy. It isn't exactly live as it happens as we now see today, but the wireless, the fact that it broadcast the messages and then that people were on the way, it was Marconi's instrument that really connected Titanic in that way.
