00:00The 14th of April, 1912. A night to remember. A night when the largest, most luxurious liner
00:16of her day was speeding across the North Atlantic on her maiden voyage. No expense had been
00:21spared to make this ship a symbol of man's final victory over nature. Her first class
00:26passengers were the very cream of society. The aristocrats from Europe and millionaires
00:32homeward bound to America. In the steerage class, everyone enjoyed their own kind of
00:37boisterous fun. Then there were the second class passengers and the crew. 2,208 happy,
00:45confident people speeding across a flat, calm sea in a ship that everyone knew was unsinkable.
00:52Absolutely unsinkable. The ship was called the Titanic.
01:05What did you see? Iceberg! Get ahead, sir! Kenneth Moore, whose warm, compelling sincerity
01:28holds him high in the hearts of cinema goers all over the world, as Lightoller, the second
01:33officer on a ship whose destruction shook the very foundation of man's progress and
01:38marked the end of an era. How many people are on board? 2,200 or more. And room in the
01:45boat's for how many? 1,200. This is the epic drama of the greatest disaster in the history
01:54of the sea. Goodbye, my dear son. No! No! Stay with me! No! No! Here for the first time
02:11is the story of that night. A night when 2,200 men, women and children were faced with a
02:18terrible fact. The fact that most of them were going to die. No work of fiction could
02:25ever contain such incredible twists of fate or leave such terrible questions unanswered
02:31to haunt the mind. Why did that last ice warning never reach the captain? What happened on
02:37the ship that stopped within sight of this struggle with death but didn't save a single
02:42life? No writer of thrillers could ever achieve such agonizing suspense. Sir! Sir! What the
02:49devil's going... Haven't you learned to knock before you come in here? It's a distress call,
02:53sir, from the Titanic. She's sinking. Carpathia, sir. She's making 17 knots and should be with
02:58us about 3.30. That'll be too late.
