3D Scan Reveals Titanic's Final Moments, Supports Eyewitness Accounts

A groundbreaking 3D digital scan of the Titanic wreck has been completed, providing unprecedented insights into the ship's final moments before it sank on April 14, 1912. This scan, created by Magellan and Atlantic Productions, utilized underwater robots to capture over 700,000 images, revealing critical details such as concave boilers that indicate they were operational until the end, and small tears in the hull that contributed to the sinking. The findings support eyewitness accounts, showing that engineers worked to keep the lights on, giving passengers more time to escape. The new documentary 'Titanic: The Digital Resurrection' showcases these revelations, emphasizing the significance of the Titanic as a historical witness to the tragedy. Parks Stephenson, a Titanic analyst, noted the importance of studying the wreck as it serves as the last direct source of information about the disaster. Overall, this project marks a significant advancement in the understanding of the Titanic's sinking and its aftermath.
