I Am Guessing,

that we have all seen at least one film/documentary, 

about the sinking of the RMS Titanic, but what was it really like? perhaps this video will answer some of your questions, it is the sinking of the Titanic, in real time,

yes that is correct, the video takes 2 hours and 40 minutes to run, so more than a few mugs of coffee for this one, also remember when the Titanic's lights finally fail, you can see nothing from that point on because there was no moon that night, you can click on the video above or here is the link, give it a view and imagine yourself aboard the Titanic and without a lifeboat, it is easy to speculate that you might have found a piece of floating wood or other such buoyant object to keep you afloat, but so many did not.
