Wonderful documentary, wish more of the selfless crewmen’s stories were told over the wealthy passengers. True unspoken heroes, they were. Thank you for telling their stories and releasing this on YouTube! Probably the fastest I’ve subscribed to a channel.
One minor note, current thought is that the coal fire and subsequent displacement of coal created a list that helped stabilize Titanic as she took on water. In fact, simulations have shown it gave her over double the estimated time of sinking as she wasn’t able to roll over. There is nothing to suggest the fire would have weakened her incredibly thick hull, especially as the damage was done by punching in and thus, opening rivets along their seam (as properly shown in this documentary), and not tearing through the steel itself. The actual damage done to Titanic was minuscule compared to what is normally depicted and supports her being made very well with good quality, for the time, materials and construction. Unfortunately, it was just long enough of an opening to make her sinking inevitable.
Also, if anyone is interested in current Titanic research, game development, or history of the great Atlantic liners check out the channel Honor and Glory: Titanic. The boys eat, sleep, and breathe Titanic and have some fantastic videos of surrounding her history.

To those in the comments who are talking about "Shock," it is not the type of Shock you're thinking of. Nakano did not die of the emotional load of being told of his crash (though the stress may have contributed to it). Shock is when blood can't get to tissues within your body, extremely low blood pressure. Nakano died of internal injuries, which induced Shock, not the emotional load that most people think of as "Shock."
Shock is not instantaneous, and it is only a symptom of a greater issue. Treat the issue, the Shock is cured. Unfortunately for Nakano, when you fall from such a height, your organs will, in most cases, be absolutely destroyed. Even if he looked fine, his organs were turned to jelly.
