Comments by "" (@formerfetusopposingabortion) on "Final Plunge: Titanic's HORRIFYING Last 5 Minutes" video.
I think (in part) because the narrator was describing some of the same events from different perspectives, of individual members of the crew and then the passengers, etc.; and then some separate events which took place simultaneously. If you'll notice, some of the same video footage/artwork gets replayed several times.

@Eusoik My Dad was born less than two years after the sinking (I was his last child; my Mom being his third wife and nearly thirteen years his junior). Although he wasn't alive at the time, he had a lifetime fascination with the Titanic . He used to often reminisce about the reported claim someone made that "not even God could sink her"; and whether the designers/crew had tempted fate. Mom, my older sis and I watched the movie (w/Leonardo DeCaprio) on video, b/c she was ill and dying of cancer at the time it was released. I didn't really care for that movie (too much fictional and sensationalized); but I watched it with them b/c it meant something to Mom. I sometimes wonder what they both would have thought about the computer age (including smartphones) that we now live in; along with the more recent loss of the Titan submarine.

Eh... Jack Dawson tried that; but by the final few minutes before the Titanic sank, believe me, it was the last thing on his mind. (j/k)

@Robert-tj3qq it was just a joke. I agree with you about the movie. Never was a fan, actually. My father (a longtime Titanic aficionado who incidentally was born the year after the sinking) said pretty much the same thing (re whatever might float). It's hard to believe that, as some people suggest there was ~nothing~ which might have worked. 😓

@Robert-tj3qq Hmmm ... Seems my previous comment has gotten deleted. To recap: I agree with you. The movie was fictitious; and made light of the Titanic , in my opinion. My mother and sisters were fans; and although I watched it once or twice with them, I just never got into it. My father, who was born during that era; later, a lifelong aficionado of the Titanic who watched and read everything he could get his hands on about the ship, had made a similar observation about the floating debris. I don't know that it would've worked; but it would've certainly been worth a try. Maybe take an axe to some of the wooden interior walls, to make some crude but (temporary) serviceable rafts? RIP to all who perished that fateful night. †

Fiction.

Probably Nuisance ordered them to ignore it.

Fictional. They wrote that subplot in to sell more movie tickets.

N-Murder-Drones- Which Titanic movie was that? and what part did he play?

@angloaust1575 Do you actually think that if Britain had refused (or delayed, as America did) getting into the war, that would have stopped Germany's mad man Hitler and his Nazi party from attempting to conquer the world? 🤨

Perhaps someone improvised.
