Скачать или смотреть Why the Back of the Titanic Exploded (Forensic Analysis)

The recent full-sized digital scans of the Titanic wreckage provided the world with its first complete view of the tragedy, but looking at the ship as a whole often hides the brutal reality of its final moments. While the iconic bow section glided to the ocean floor largely intact, this forensic analysis focuses on the obliterated stern section to explain why it looks less like a ship and more like a bomb site. By utilizing the new 3D mapping data, we reconstruct the physics of the sinking to show how trapped air pockets caused a massive structural implosion that tore the rear of the ship apart before it even hit the bottom. We compare the hydrodynamics of the two halves, investigate the twisted steel of the poop deck, and reveal why the Titanic's grave is actually a tale of two very different shipwrecks.
