1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,800
When she was born, she was never christened, never blessed.

2
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,800
The seership was unsinkable, was flying the face of God.

3
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,800
When she died, the world warned her passing.

4
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:47,800
You can imagine what it was with these women who knew then that their husbands had gone down to ship.

5
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:56,800
She symbolized it here. When she passed on, our world would never be the same.

6
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800
She was the Titanic.

7
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Beyond what is known was an unexplored world of shadows and phantoms.

8
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:27,800
A land that knows no lengths of time or space.

9
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:38,800
From the dawn of discovery to the nightfall of catastrophe.

10
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:50,800
A journey to a universe of the unexplained. The unforeseen. The unbelievable.

11
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,800
A place where myth and legend are long, superstition assigns.

12
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,800
A place beyond reality where no question will go unanswered.

13
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,800
Time for our journey to begin.

14
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,800
The Titanic.

15
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:46,800
We must find out what happened on that night so long ago. And this is our window into the past.

16
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,800
News of the world! Not just big, not just huge, why it's Titanic!

17
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,800
Yes, this week in Southampton, England, Harrods greeted the new pride of the Atlantic.

18
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,800
The white starlight's brand new super ship, the Titanic.

19
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,800
Under construction for the last two years, this great ship is filled with the best money can buy.

20
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,800
And believe us, it bought a lot.

21
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:20,800
Every state room is filled with the riches of old Europe and the Titanic is justifiably called a floating palace.

22
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:32,800
But you need to have the riches of a king to afford a deluxe ticket, because white star owner Bruce Ismay expects and gets over $5,000 for a one-way ticket.

23
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800
But wait, what have we here?

24
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Like, getting on board in Queenstown, Ireland, it's a humble child of the sod, young Lily Goodwood.

25
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,800
Well, surely you aren't paying that king's ransom for a ticket?

26
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,800
Yes, this young lass is going to America too. Talk about the luck of the Irish.

27
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:59,800
She and her five brothers and sisters can't wait to get aboard this super liner, a true Titanic of a ship.

28
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,800
Bigger than the Washington Monument, but a lot more sea-worthy.

29
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,800
Bon voyage, Titanic! See you in New York!

30
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,800
If only Lily and her family had read this book, perhaps they would have reconsidered taking that voyage.

31
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:22,800
Written 14 years earlier, this novel detailed with astonishing accuracy the maiden voyage of the Titan,

32
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:30,800
a huge passenger liner that struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, sinking with a great loss of life.

33
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:37,800
In some ways, this prophecy turns the Titanic into a classic tragedy.

34
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800
But the end was ordained before the beginning.

35
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:56,800
Designed to be the last word in luxury, the Titanic was incredible in every way, 880 feet from Barthasdern.

36
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,800
She left on her maiden voyage on the 10th of April, 1912, and there were many photographs taken upon the departure,

37
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:11,800
including these unique glimpses of the doomship and passengers, taken by a clergyman who disembarked at his ship's last stop in Ireland.

38
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Her captain, E.J. Smith, was considered the finest in all the Atlantic, and this was to have been his last voyage before retirement after an unblemished career.

39
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:41,800
After leaving Ireland, four days passed uneventfully, passengers relaxed to explore the brand new ship.

40
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:49,800
Sunday the 14th was a day of rest, and even Captain Smith took the day off, forgoing his usual inspection of the ship.

41
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:56,800
We know that the Titanic was told of ice ahead, and her wireless room reverberated with incoming warnings,

42
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,800
but she ignored those messages and sped toward the ice field at full speed.

43
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,800
The lookout cried out a warning, but it was too late.

44
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,800
With a horrible grinding, the great ship struck the berg, and immediately came to a silent stop.

45
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,800
The Titanic had less than two hours to live.

46
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Captain Smith knew the unthinkable had occurred.

47
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,800
His ship was doomed.

48
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,800
It was time to abandon her, but with what?

49
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,800
There were really enough lifeboats for a third of her passengers, and Smith knew it.

50
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,800
Women and children first, as the cry slowly and the evacuation began.

51
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:49,800
The first and second classes became priority on the lifeboat, and amazingly enough, many of the pitifully few boats left half empty.

52
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800
The end, truly, there.

53
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,800
During this agonizing period, the Titanic frantically called for help.

54
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,800
In vain.

55
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:07,800
For even though the lights at two other nearby vessels were spotted, no rescue came.

56
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,800
Many of the poor immigrants in the third class were trapped below, in some cases by gun-wielding crew members.

57
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,800
And soon, everyone left on board knew the worst.

58
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,800
The Titanic and all aboard her were doomed.

59
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:30,800
The ships spanned to gather together on the top deck and played ragtime dance tunes, and then as the water rushed to meet them, him and Smith.

60
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,800
Finally, at 2.20am, she stood on end, and vanished.

61
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,800
There were only 795 survivors.

62
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,800
The events of that Sunday night have become legend.

63
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Now we must go back and walk the decks of the Titanic ourselves, and meet the men and women who went with her into oblivion.

64
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,800
The only voyage of the Titanic was surrounded by bad luck that defies belief.

65
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

66
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,800
It was as if she was cursed.

67
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,800
A cursed some say began when she was launched, but not cursed.

68
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,800
It is now April 12th, 1912. The Titanic has less than 8 hours to live.

69
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:28,800
I must say, this voyage has exceeded all expectations, and if we keep up this speed, we'll be in New York by Wednesday.

70
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,800
It almost seems a shame to arrive so soon.

71
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,800
What an exciting time we've had.

72
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,800
Only my mum would join us, but she won't come out to the cabin.

73
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,800
You see, there were spokes who got bad feelings and left right before we sailed.

74
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Now mum's scared, she's thinking this ship could seek.

75
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,800
This ship?

76
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,800
I hear they have solar gold faucets above decks.

77
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Oh, I wish they'd let me just take one look.

78
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,800
If you ask me, this whole trip's been marked.

79
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,800
They got a coal fire down below they can't pull it out.

80
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,800
We're nearly hit in New York and we left empty.

81
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,800
Everything is new and not working proper.

82
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Oh, yeah, this is perfect.

83
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,800
They didn't give me no binoculars.

84
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,800
None of the lookouts ever.

85
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:21,800
Imagine that.

86
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,800
What do they want me to do up there?

87
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Sleep.

88
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,800
The Titanic hit the iceberg at a speed in excess of 22 knots

89
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,800
and even the angle of collision was unlucky.

90
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,800
And you turned 10 seconds earlier, she would have missed the iceberg entirely.

91
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
But you turned 10 seconds later,

92
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,800
she would have collided dead on a survivable catastrophe.

93
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,800
But she's tracking the worst imaginable fashion

94
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,800
in such a way that six bulkheads burst,

95
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,800
dooming 1,500 innocent people.

96
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,800
I warned them just as soon as I seen it.

97
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,800
I swear I did.

98
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,800
But there was no waves, sort of,

99
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,800
burgh, no water line.

100
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,800
And it must have just turned over because it was dark blue.

101
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,800
And it weren't no moon.

102
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,800
Everything was pitch black.

103
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Nobody could have seen it in time.

104
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Nobody!

105
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Well, of course, I didn't get into the life though

106
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,800
to head in any women and children.

107
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800
Everything was moving as smoothly as could be expected.

108
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,800
While Wallace and his band were playing,

109
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,800
keeping spirits high and dry,

110
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,800
everybody waited their turn.

111
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,800
There was absolutely no panic.

112
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,800
We saw the life was going down into the water,

113
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,800
and they won't tell us why.

114
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,800
And they won't let us upstairs.

115
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Dad and Mikey went to go see what they could do.

116
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,800
But they haven't come back yet.

117
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,800
Should we keep waiting?

118
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,800
We don't know what to do.

119
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,800
We don't know what to do.

120
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,800
It was horrible.

121
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,800
Bloody awful.

122
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,800
This one, Jen, jumped off the bridge,

123
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,800
and then it's back on some deck chairs.

124
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,800
Poor Blighter never had a chance.

125
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,800
She was all blue top.

126
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,800
And even though our boat had moved some distance away,

127
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,800
she was magnificent.

128
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,800
You could see the light still on underwater.

129
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,800
There was water.

130
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,800
There was freeze and water up to our ankles.

131
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,800
We tried to climb upstairs, but then the water came spilling down.

132
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,800
It was coming at us from above and below.

133
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,800
She pointed straight up in the air.

134
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,800
The boilers came loose with a terrible roar.

135
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,800
Me, I was in boat six,

136
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,800
and all around us in the water.

137
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
I never heard such awful sounds.

138
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,800
Screams.

139
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,800
Prows.

140
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,800
And...

141
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,800
And choking.

142
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,800
It took a long time for someone in to be still.

143
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,800
I don't remember much else, really.

144
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800
It just got so cold.

145
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,800
So cold.

146
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,800
Lily Goodwin and 1522 others perished that night,

147
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,800
and a few wished they had.

148
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,800
Bruces May died in disgrace 25 years later under a cloud of suspicion,

149
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800
because he had lived while so many had died.

150
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Frederick Fleet took his own life almost 50 years later,

151
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,800
perhaps the last victim of that April night.

152
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,800
But some did live.

153
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,800
A handful of those survivors are alive today,

154
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,800
and they remember what it was like on that terrible night.

155
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800
They were little girls then.

156
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,800
They were on the Titanic that night,

157
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,800
and they lived to remember.

158
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,800
Well, my mother had a premonition,

159
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,800
and she never went to bed in that ship at night at all.

160
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,800
She sat up every night,

161
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,800
and he says, Madam, you don't have to be afraid of anything.

162
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,800
He says, you know that the Titanic has watertight compartments.

163
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,800
And the only thing that she felt strongly about was

164
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,800
that she said that the ship was unsinkable,

165
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,800
which indeed was what was claimed.

166
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,800
To say the ship was unsinkable was flying the face of God.

167
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,800
The Titanic was going very fast.

168
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,800
Very fast, and the vibration was terrible.

169
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,800
What woke us up was the stopping of the ship.

170
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,800
And my mother didn't say, ah,

171
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800
well, I told you something, she said nothing at all.

172
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,800
She just stood there.

173
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,800
He went out and he came back.

174
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,800
He said, there's nothing much there,

175
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,800
and he struck a nice bird.

176
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,800
I think that was probably the last word to get in,

177
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,800
because they lowered the boat right away.

178
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,800
So as they proceeded to know that I had put my father,

179
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,800
put my mother and I in,

180
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800
and made absolutely no attempt to get in himself.

181
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,800
After we got in the lifeboat,

182
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,800
he says, I'll see you in New York.

183
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Never saw him again.

184
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,800
He went down with the boat.

185
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,800
I'll never forget the terrible noise that the ship made

186
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,800
when it was drawn down.

187
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,800
Human beings screaming in the rush of water.

188
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,800
It was horrible.

189
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,800
The sounds of people drowning

190
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800
are something that I cannot describe to you,

191
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,800
and I have never heard anyone else.

192
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,800
It's the most dreadful sound.

193
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,800
And there's a terrible silence that follows it.

194
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,800
When the ship was no longer there,

195
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,800
the lights had all gone, and the dark night was round us,

196
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,800
and all these dreadful noises had gone.

197
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,800
I was only seven, but I remember thinking

198
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,800
that everything in the world was standing still.

199
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,800
The Titanic still exists.

200
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,800
In some ways, her story has not yet ended.

201
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Let's journey to her final resting place,

202
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,800
12,000 feet below the North Atlantic.

203
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,800
It is strangely peaceful where she lies,

204
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,800
a rust and crusted tomb that remained hidden

205
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,800
until its discovery in the fall of 1985

206
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,800
in an expedition led by a scientist named Robert Ballard.

207
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,800
All throughout the Titanic expedition,

208
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,800
there were two individuals.

209
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,800
There was the professional, and there was the human.

210
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,800
And in most cases, the professional was very busy,

211
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,800
and the human just had to sit and wait.

212
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,800
But then there were moments, seeing it for the first time,

213
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,800
through the Portola submarine,

214
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,800
or landing on the deck for the first time,

215
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,800
or all the different firsts that happened.

216
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,800
The human would come through whenever he gave it a chance.

217
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,800
And certain images, empty lifebook tablet,

218
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,800
the doll's head, chandelier,

219
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,800
going down the Grand Staircase, that was my dream.

220
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,800
That was my focus for so many years.

221
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,800
I wanted to go inside.

222
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,800
I not only wanted to find the Titanic,

223
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,800
but I always wanted to go inside of it.

224
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,800
And the landing alvin on the entrance to the Grand Staircase

225
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,800
above the elevator shaft,

226
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,800
and then sending JJ down deep inside,

227
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,800
and then moving into that room and then spotting that chandelier.

228
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,800
That was the culmination.

229
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,800
If there was any one thing I did,

230
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,800
that really was what it was all about.

231
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,800
The Titanic has inspired men and women who today keep her memory alive.

232
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,800
Men and women who gather together to celebrate her life,

233
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,800
and commemorate her death.

234
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,800
The Titanic has captured the imagination of the world.

235
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:08,800
In 1912, this sinking was one of the first media events,

236
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,800
and anyone connected to the tragedy was newsworthy.

237
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Today, little has changed, and Titanic survivors and people fascinated with the subject

238
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,800
gather together at conventions like this.

239
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,800
I think the basic story of the Titanic itself is inherently fascinating.

240
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,800
It reads like a Greek drama.

241
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,800
The Titanic's passengers are themselves a very interesting group of people.

242
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,800
We have everything from 11 millionaires to the humblest immigrant.

243
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,800
And within that range of people,

244
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,800
you have very often someone that you particularly relate to,

245
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,800
and you tend to see the disaster through these people's eyes.

246
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,800
What is essentially going on here at our convention is a sharing of information.

247
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,800
Titanic Society members, each of them do individual research,

248
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,800
and both through the Society's journal,

249
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,800
and also through meetings such as this,

250
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,800
they can share the results of their research with one another.

251
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Pieces of this great ship can be found inside maritime museums,

252
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:14,800
artifacts that remind us of what life was like on her one and only voyage.

253
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,800
When the great ship went down,

254
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,800
the North Atlantic was covered in debris, and some was picked up.

255
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,800
Other, more personal items were taken from the ship

256
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,800
by passengers who disembarked before she left Ireland,

257
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,800
or taken from the white star offices in London.

258
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,800
Now on display, you can find everything from the surviving deck chairs

259
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,800
to Mrs. Aster's life jacket to an actual piece of the Titanic.

260
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,800
Plush carpeting taken as a memento by one of the men who installed it.

261
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,800
In one such museum, located below decks on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California,

262
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,800
this huge model of the Titanic can be found as if headed towards its fatal rendezvous.

263
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,800
The memory of this great ship and the men and women who walked upon her decks

264
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,800
will surely live on for as long as we travel the oceans.

265
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,800
The Titanic was overwhelmed by her tragic destiny

266
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,800
and a few seconds of disastrous luck.

267
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,800
The Titanic.

268
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,800
Let's you rest in peace.

269
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,800
Secrets and mysteries presents information based in part on theories and opinions,

270
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,800
some of which are controversial.

271
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,800
The producer's purpose is not to validate any side of an issue,

272
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,800
but through the use of actualities and formatted recreation,

273
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,800
relate a possible answer, but not the only answer to this material.

274
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800
The Titanic.

275
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,800
The Titanic.

276
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,800
According to a recent poll taken in the United States,

277
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:03,800
half of its population believed that the universe is inhabited by other intelligent life.

278
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,800
The rest of the world cannot be far behind.

279
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,800
The 1950s witnessed a sharp increase in the number of sightings all around the world

280
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,800
and with it more and more evidence that something unusual was happening in our skies.

281
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,800
Even the United States government took notice,

282
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,800
beginning an official Air Force investigation called Project Blue Book.

283
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,800
Their files soon overflowed with more than 12,000 sightings.

284
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,800
The Titanic.

285
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:42,800
These water beasts may well be the most ancient surviving inhabitants of our planet.

286
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,800
Did I see the monster? I don't know, but I do believe that, you know,

287
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,800
I saw, I obviously saw some things and nobody's been able to tell me what I saw,

288
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,800
so I think I must have seen the monster.

289
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,800
Stonehenge.

290
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:13,800
That place has become a metaphor for the magnificent, the unfathomable and the mysterious.

291
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:20,800
I have the feeling that the people who built it had something very strong in mind,

292
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,800
maybe more than the astronomy and the worship,

293
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,800
and I wish the goodness on you what it was, then maybe I never will.

294
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:39,800
German scientist Fennifernbräu is considered to be the architect of America's space program.

295
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,800
And Bräu and his team took the technology from the German V2 rocket,

296
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,800
which had been created for destruction,

297
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,800
and applied it to the development of the chariots that would take man to new worlds.

298
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,800
There's never been an astronaut who got on a spacecraft,

299
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,800
whether it was Mercury, Apollo, or even Shuttle,

300
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,800
who didn't fully understand the risk involved and who wasn't willing to take him.

301
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,800
The only voyage of the Titanic was surrounded by bad luck that defies belief.

302
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,800
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

303
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,800
It was as if she was cursed.

304
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,800
A curse some say began when she was launched.

305
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,800
When Daphne came back, he said,

306
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,800
it's nothing much, they only struck a nice bird.

307
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,800
This magnificent object is a symbol of genius, of ambition and of dedication,

308
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,800
for it is believed to have taken 30 years to construct,

309
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,800
and that construction is not the least of its miracles.

310
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,800
It stands as one of the most prominent monuments for its size and complexity,

311
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,800
and also its lack of information about it,

312
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,800
to be able to plan and economically accomplish such a large feat,

313
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,800
for the pharaoh is extraordinary.

314
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,800
This is the mark of Sasquatch,

315
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,800
taken from a set of tracks that covered a five mile stretch of dense forest.

316
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:19,800
The depth of each print indicates that whatever made it weighed 800 pounds.

317
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800
800 pounds.

318
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,800
And there's other, more dramatic evidence.

319
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,800
On a hot afternoon in October,

320
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,800
Roger Patterson and a friend were riding through some woods in Northern California.

321
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,800
Suddenly their horses shied.

322
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,800
They looked ahead and saw something squatting by the creek.

323
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,800
As the creature ambled away, Patterson took this film,

324
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,800
film that has been analyzed, debated and contested ever since.

325
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Thank you.
