Why You Wouldn't Survive the Titanic

April 15, 1912. The Titanic has sunk—but the story didn’t end in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. In the months that followed, polished shoes stepped over ghosts, and polished speeches smothered the screams. This video takes you inside the parliamentary inquiries, where survivors were ignored, steerage was forgotten, and tragedy was translated into tidy charts and sanitized testimony.

From locked gates to lifeboats that weren’t full, we follow the brutal truth of what really happened—told not through disaster movie heroics, but through silent absences, quiet denials, and the damning weight of what was left unsaid.

If you're looking for a calm, immersive exploration of the Titanic’s aftermath—with a touch of dark irony and no romanticizing—this is your story.
