| Summary |
Two miles below the ocean surface lies the remains of the Titanic, which was sunk after colliding with an iceberg on the ship's first and only voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. SBS ONE's electrifying new Lost Worlds documentary, Unsinkable Titanic argues that it was actually an intricate series of events that led to the sinking of the enormous vessel. If one small link to that chain had been missing, one of the greatest disasters of maritime history may have been averted. Unsinkable Titanic guides viewers on a journey to uncover the truth about the causes that led to the sinking of the ship. This accurate portrayal of what led to the disaster features interviews with leading historians, forensic experts and includes the memories of the last remaining survivor, Millvina Dean. A leading forensic scientist uses actual material uncovered from the Titanic to clarify the structural inconsistencies in the construction of the vessel, while government transcripts, historical records and eyewitness testimonies provide an emotional account of the causes that led to one of histories most unforgettable tragedies. Each interview, finding, and historical account in this documentary drama strengthens the argument that it was not only an iceberg that led to the Titanic's tragic fate. Construction blunders, overlooked safety regulations and human error are each links in the chain that led to the deaths of over 1500 people and the unimaginable sinking of the 'unsinkable Titanic'.
