Weather That Changed the World

Sinking of the Titanic (1x4)

: 23, 2013

The trans-Atlantic passenger liner, Titanic, was the largest of her time, but the ship itself has been dwarfed by the legend that was left after her tragic sinking. Everyone knows the crucial facts, the eerily calm night, the speed, the iceberg – but there have always been simple questions that have been left unanswered. Why, when it was described as a perfectly clear night with two capable men on lookout, did the doomed ship not see a deadly iceberg that stood 100 feet out of the water? A deceiving phenomena caused by the weather may hold the answer everyone has been looking for.
