À propos de cet audio

The Titanic wasn’t just a ship, it became a legend. In this episode of Deep Dives Rewired, Charlie and Laura unravel the history, myths, and conspiracies that still surround the world’s most infamous maritime disaster.

From eyewitness accounts of child survivors to chilling stories from lifeboats, we explore the human side of the tragedy. We also break down the science of what really doomed the ship, brittle steel, weak rivets, and outdated lifeboat rules that cost over 1,500 lives.

Of course, no Titanic discussion is complete without the myths: the Olympic “switch theory,” the so-called Jesuit plot, and other conspiracies that refuse to sink, even as historical evidence tears them apart. And we spotlight the unsung hero of the night, the RMS Carpathia, which raced through icy waters to rescue survivors.

More than a century later, Titanic still teaches us about arrogance, survival, and how tragedy reshapes law and culture.
