Someone took all of the available radio transmissions from the Atlantic on the night on the Titanic sinking and set them up as if there was a real-time text printout of what's happening.

It's chilling. Every documentary I watched as a kid downplayed how many ships heard Titanic

Titanic's operator keeps transmitting blind saying "I can't hear over the steam"

So many ships start talking about the sinking at once nobody can understand each other.

Chilling. At least four ships are trying to get to them and few have grasped just how serious the situation is over an hour in.

Thanks for lending an ear there, Frankfurt.

Titanic's sister ship Olympic isn't talked about much, but it was out there that night about 100 miles away. In about 90 minutes Capathia will tell them to turn around as it's already too late.

Seriously, just fuck off Frankfurt

That's it.

That's the last thing said.

It's really fucking with me that we know Jack Phillips kept broadcasting so long he didn't have time to finish a sentence before either his set failed or he was pulled out of the radio room.

Just that final dot dot dot in "IS"

Oh no it's potentially worse. If this person wasn't lying for hero points, Phillips left the room as the ship was already dipping a significant portion of the bow underwater. The wireless room was on the topmost deck, so it had to be pretty fargone for water to be reaching.

So close to the top, in fact, there's a proposal to use a rover to grab Phillips' radio, and the article has a lot of really good before/after photos of the said radio room. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/02/28/metro/photo-gallery-explore-titanics-wireless-rooms-where-desperate-messages-were-sent-ships-final-moments/

Why yes I was both into trains and Titanic as a kid, how could you tell?

Small addition because I forgot about history's asshole: there were two ships within range that could've significantly reduced casualties. One is theorized to be an illegal Russian whaler that was running silent, the other was the Californian.

SS Fuckup over here was within range to have helped, potentially having arrived faster than Carpathia, but the radio operator went to bed just before Titanic started calling for help. Californian's captain ignored Titanic not responding to morse lamp and it sending up flares.
