National Geographic: Secrets of the Titanic & Seconds from Disaster: Titanic

100 Years Of Titanic

Commemorate a century of Titanic with this double release from NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.

Secrets of the Titanic: Join one of the century's most celebrated underwater expeditions with famed oceanographer and explorer Dr. Robert Ballard on his search for the sunken luxury liner R.M.S. Titanic. Armed with sophisticated equipment such as the submersible deep sea craft Alvin and a myriad of remote video cameras, Dr. Ballard and his crew became the first humans to see and photograph the luxury liner since its sinking in 1912.

Seconds From Disaster: On 14 April, 1912 at 11:40 PM, the Titanic grazes an iceberg, which causes the ship to sink, taking with it the lives of more than 1,500 people. Officials have struggled for decades to sift through the theories and conspiracy speculations to figure out what sank the massive ship. Using a groundbreaking experiment that mimics the conditions of the Titanic as it scraped the iceberg, experts find new evidence that enables them to finally conclude what brought the “unsinkable” ship down in the middle of the icy Atlantic. Titanic includes haunting commentary of eye-witness accounts, CGI and cutting-edge experiments that help bring the Titanic back to life to retrace its final moments.
