Titanic ship was on the final leg of his journey to New York when the collision with the iceberg occurred. The sinking ship took with it more than 1,500 of the 2,200 passengers on board. In addition to being adapted into a movie, details related to the sinking of the Titanic are still repeated to this day.
Did you know, the passengers of the Titanic having to soak in water with a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius for many hours. Can you imagine how cold it is?
Therefore, passengers who fall into this cold water, even wearing life jackets, can only live for 15-20 minutes before dying of heat loss.
The sinking of the Titanic caused a stir when there were too many casualties.
But what if the temperature is higher? What would happen if the Titanic sank in warm water. Theoretically, this could happen if the North Atlantic waters encounter warm undercurrents from the southern part of the ocean.
The ocean area is too large and the temperature at night is too low. The warm undercurrent alone would not have made a difference to those on board. But if the Titanic had sunk somewhere else at a particular time, perhaps everyone could have been saved by an amazing natural phenomenon.
Imagine the Titanic sinking underwater. Many terrified passengers fell into the sea. They dived into the dark ocean and immediately rose to the surface. Panic and complete chaos took over. The ship disappeared into the darkness and finally all was silent. A few minutes pass and you notice there is no panic at all. The water is warm and almost all passengers have life jackets. Someone is floating on the wreckage of the wooden ship. To stay warm, passengers swim closer together in tight circles.
Now it is possible to wait a few more hours until rescuers arrive. The people in the lifeboats approached and took the frozen people on board. Passengers take turns: 20 minutes in the water, then 20 minutes on the boat. It is important not to take off your clothes: even wet clothes help keep the body warmer longer.
If so, all passengers would be saved. But it was all just “if only” because history took a different turn when the ship sank and there were too many casualties.
