The Sinking of the Titanic: The Unsinkable Ship’s Tragic End
In the second episode of 5 Minute Disasters, we explore the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship that met a devastating fate on its maiden voyage in 1912. In just five minutes, we recount the events leading up to the disaster, including the iceberg collision that tore through the ship’s hull and the chaotic, heartbreaking scenes as passengers and crew tried to escape. With over 1,500 lives lost in the freezing Atlantic waters, the sinking of the Titanic remains one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history. Join us as we uncover how the tragedy unfolded and the lasting legacy it left on ship safety and maritime law.
