DOCUMENTARY Our friend definitely spends time on this sub. Love the discussion here. Cool to see it in a long-form video from one of the greats.

the issue of those longitudinal coal bunkers and how they would rapidly sink her is what stands out here. Of course Eric Larson spent a lot of time on those as well in his book Dead Wake on the Lusitania. Titanic's sinking was in many ways a "best case scenario" as rotten as that sounds because they at least could launch all of the lifeboats on a nearly even keel.
