Titanic — the last 6.3 seconds are reconstructed by new technology

» Titanic «is recreated on the basis of scanning its debris stored by the sea. Scientists rewritten the last 6.3 seconds of the life of the ship, dispelled several myths.

More than a century after the tragic flooding, the Titanic continues to reveal the details of that fatal night due to the revolutionary submarine scan technology, which gives unprecedented information about the last minutes of the ship’s life.

Simulation of the events of that night, the scientists of Xrust, allowed to reconstruct the reconstruction of The sliding blow of the ship on the iceberg. The collision lasted 6.3 seconds. In the wake of the digital resurrection, the events shot the documentary National Geographic “Titanic: Digital Resurrection”. The premiere will take place on Friday. Spectators will see the digital reconstruction of the ship from the wreckage.

The project, the implementation of which took almost two years, used the advanced submarine scan technology to capture 715000 digital images of fragments. Then these images were transformed into a full-scale digital twin of the titanium, accurately up to individual rivets.

Among the most important results, the digital model found new evidence that can finally cleanse the first assistant to William Murdok. Historical evidence has long suggest that Murdok left his post during the crisis. However, the accurate location of the boiler of the rescue boat among the wreckage confirms the testimony of the second assistant Charles Laitoller that Murdok was actively preparing to lower the rescue boat when he was carried away by the sea.

The experts participating in the project said that digital cartography The rests of the Titanic is a major breakthrough in marine archeology.
