An animation was shared on X, showing how the Titanic sank.
The video was shared by @Morbidful on X, and gained 7.7 million views, leaving several viewers shocked about how the Titanic sank in the historical tragedy.
The video has the caption, "Animation shows how the Titanic sank. In total, around 1500 people lost their lives in the disaster."
The footage showed the tragic incident, unlike the fictionalized scenes in James Cameron's Titanic film.
This animation provides what occurred when the ship struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage in 1912.
In the footage, the animation showed how the iceberg damaged the ship, tearing holes along its side.
The footage revealed the Titanic's 16 watertight compartments, which were intended to keep the ship afloat, and how severely they were damaged by the iceberg.
The footage reveals that the iceberg compromised these compartments, leading to rapid flooding and sinking.
The Titanic ship started sinking in a terrifying moment after suffering damage that the iceberg caused.
The animation vividly showed the water flooding the ship. The weight of the ship increased, and Titanic's ship began to sink below the water.
The amazing video showed the front of the Titanic's ship sinking, blowing the waterline.
Eventually, the strain on the midsection of the ship became too great, resulting in a crack that split the vessel in two.
The moment the ship sank in the ocean was reminiscent of the scenes in the Titanic film that depicted the same event.
Animation's moment showed the front of the ship sinking to the ocean floor, while the back half rose until it reached a vertical position, reminiscent of the iconic scene in the movie where Jack and Rose cling to the railing. Eventually, the back of the ship also sank beneath the water's surface.
The simulation left viewers shocked by the severity of the events.
Below the footage, several viewers express their shock after watching the moment how the Titanic sank into the ocean.
One person said: The animation is likely wrong. The Titanic grounded over an iceberg. Never hit the side of it.
A second wrote: I'd never realized that the iceberg didn't tear the metal hull; it compressed it, forcing it to bulge out and create a gap under the waterline.
While a third commented: The original engineers used the wrong type of steel to make the chambers in the hull. Each one could seal off and stop the water from breaching the rest of the ship. But one of the chambers also had the…
The animation is so realistic, it's heartbreaking to see how the Titanic tragically went down. Another added.
Someone else said: Wow, even the Titanic couldn't handle Mondays. What a sinking feeling.
Following the sinking of the Titanic, approximately 1,500 passengers lost their lives in the disaster. According to reports, many passengers were unable to escape the sinking ship due to the limited availability of lifeboats.
