Although Winleski and Xia Tong were connected to the studio through their mobile phones, this was no longer important because the next scene began to show the scene of the sinking of the Titanic in all directions.
The first location of the impact was the bow, which directly caused the rivets of the bow to loosen and the waterproof partition to crack. Countless small but narrow cracks appeared in the first 5 lower cabins. Seawater continued to pour in. The waterproof gates closed in time, and all the lower cabins became 16 independent watertight cabins.
This was the historical description of the sinking of the Titanic, and it was also the scene of the current Titanic. Ten minutes after the impact, 4,000 tons of seawater poured into the bow, causing the entire bow to begin to sink. A small half of the bow of the Titanic had sunk into the sea.
However, from the outside, the Titanic at this time seemed to be in good condition and could still sail. In history, the captain also thought so, so he specially sent a team of engineers to the bow to check the damage. He even planned to repair the damage on the spot.
However, this was a fatal mistake. After 7,000 tons of seawater poured into the bow of the ship, the watertight cabins could no longer withstand the pressure of the seabed. Thus, the turbulent seawater gushed out from the five cabins, directly into the cargo hold at the bow of the ship, and even directly into the third-class cabin. In history, more than half of the engineers who went for maintenance were submerged in the seawater, and only two of them were lucky enough to escape.
In the live broadcast, in addition to the scene of the bow of the Titanic slowly sinking from the outside, the audience could also see the scene inside the cabin.
Because the location of the impact had been calculated, the program team had arranged two sets of camera lenses in advance in the cabin that suffered the impact. Fortunately, these two sets of cameras were not damaged in the process of the impact, so the audience could see in the replay afterward that countless seawater poured in from a huge crack torn by the ship. The entire cabin was completely soaked in less than 2 minutes.
The camera faithfully captured his appearance when he was completely submerged in the water … In fact, the picture wasn't very clear because after the collision, the lights in the two cabins were completely gone. The audience could only see a pitch-black scene.
But soon, the camera lens shifted to the cargo hold at the bow. This was the second batch of cabins to be submerged.
The cargo hold was extremely spacious. There were all kinds of goods and more than ten cars inside.
In order to show the most realistic state, the production team really filled the cargo hold with all kinds of goods. However, they were all expired food and some scrapped goods. The cars were also old cars that were obviously abandoned.
The camera was aimed at the joint between the cargo hold and the bow cabin. According to history, the watertight cabin at the joint would explode due to poor welding quality, causing a large amount of seawater to pour in.
However, the welding quality of the modern Titanic was very good. It was impossible for the watertight cabin to burst due to the pressure of the sea.
But it didn't matter. The crew had already anticipated such a situation, so they sneakily installed a set of explosives in the watertight cabin.
Therefore, when the cabin at the front of the ship was filled with water and the watertight compartment was unable to explode, Cameron decisively ordered his subordinates to press the detonation button.
Because the cargo hold is large, a very bright and waterproof lighting system can be installed. Then all the viewers in front of the TV saw a quite shocking scene in their lives.
They heard a loud rumbling sound coming from the other side of the cargo hold. Then, the entire watertight compartment exploded like a pine cone, forming a chrysanthemum-shaped opening. Endless seawater gushed in through the opening.
However, this opening is actually not too big, so the seawater pouring in is relatively slow compared to the huge cargo hold. It takes at least 20 minutes to fill the entire cargo hold.
But this time is exactly what the live broadcast crew needs.
At this moment, a total of 1.3 billion viewers were waiting in front of the TV at the same time. They all opened their mouths wide, watching the seawater constantly pouring into the cargo hold. Then, all the goods in the cargo hold were like floating boats, swimming in the cargo hold. From time to time, boxes were thrown open, and all the goods inside were poured out.
The most shocking thing was probably the cars. At this time, these cars were like yachts, constantly floating and bumping into each other in the entire cargo hold. In two cars, the crew specially installed cameras, so the audience could see the terrifying scene of the seawater rushing into the cars and finally completely submerging the entire cockpit.
As expected, it took about 20 minutes to completely submerge the cargo hold, and this also shocked the audience for 20 minutes. In the end, when they saw the seawater submerging the camera placed at the top of the cargo hold, the entire TV screen turned into turbid seawater, and the lights dissipated and turned off in an instant, all the audience couldn't help but cover their mouths. This is really terrifying.
But the scariest part was yet to come. Because the third-class cabin was above the cargo hold, the camera cut to the third-class cabin. The crew placed three sets of cameras in the third-class cabin, and at the same time, placed a human-shaped puppet on each of the beds.
These puppets are usually used for filming, and their weight and structure are similar to real people. So the audience saw the terrifying scene of the seawater crazily invading the third-class cabin. The narrow cabin was almost completely submerged in an instant, and the puppet was washed to the top of the cabin, then the whole body was stuck there, and finally drowned alive.

At this time, a series of urgent voices suddenly came from the TV. At this time, Xia Tong explained through the mobile phone, "This is the SOS distress signal sent by the Titanic to the outside world. At the same time, it is also the first time the Titanic has sent a distress signal, but it has been more than 30 minutes since the collision with the iceberg."
"100 years ago, it was not until 40 minutes later that the captain and all the crew of the Titanic really realized that they had encountered an irresistible danger!"
"But it was too late at this time. Among all the ships that can receive the telegram, the closest one to the Titanic is the Cappadocia, but it will take them four hours to arrive at the scene. In these four hours, the Titanic can only save itself!"
Following Xia Tong's explanation, all the audience's hearts were tightly entangled.
But this could not change the fate of the Titanic. After a part of the third-class cabin was submerged, the camera lens moved to the No. 6 boiler room, and at this time, the drainage just happened to pour into the boiler room.
As a result, the audience saw another amazing scene in their lives. That was when the boiling hot boiler and the combustion chamber below it were instantly hit by the seawater that rushed in.
The audience saw countless white smoke gushing out of the combustion chamber, and the seawater was all burned by the burning combustion chamber. Those with good eyesight could even see drops of white sea salt forming on the surface of the boiler.
It seemed that the turbulent seawater had been subdued by the hot flames.
But this was only a temporary illusion. The seawater continued to pour in, and the flames in the combustion chamber could not compete with it. After 30 seconds, the entire No. 5 boiler room directly exploded, and the huge explosion directly blew up the cameras in the boiler room.
Next was the No. 4 boiler room, then the dining room, the entertainment room, and the second-class cabin. A whole crew was carefully shooting the scenes of the luxurious life of the rich in those years. Hua Xia spent a year to restore the magnificent scene of the Titanic, and in just 120 minutes, it was all washed away by the seawater.
At this time, the camera lens suddenly moved to the outside of the Titanic. After more than an hour of admiring the interior scene, the audience found that the Titanic had become a chopstick stuck in the mud at an angle. The entire bow part of the ship had completely sunk into the sea, which caused the stern part of the ship to leave the sea and tilt up high. The tilt of the ship had reached more than 30 degrees. All the items on the deck that were not fixed were all moved and hit the bow. The audience could even see several puppets placed on the bow falling directly into the water with the tilt of the Titanic.
The end had come!
