Overview
- The first full-scale 3D digital twin of the Titanic, created using 715,000 images and 16 terabytes of data, offers unprecedented detail of the wreck.
- New forensic analysis shows the iceberg caused a series of small punctures across six watertight compartments, overwhelming the ship's design limits.
- Evidence confirms that engineers, led by Joseph Bell, kept the ship’s power running to aid evacuation efforts, as shown by an open steam valve in the wreck.
- The scans corroborate survivor accounts, such as ice entering cabins through smashed portholes, and provide insights into the ship's violent breakup.
- The findings feature in National Geographic’s documentary 'Titanic: The Digital Resurrection,' premiering April 11, showcasing the digital model and its revelations.
