more closed in. he did not handle crowds at all. it was very different. very different. >> i'm just very appreciative that we were able to get out of there alive. there's a picture of me with my hands on my head being led across the compound in front of the embassy building. now there's a bronze statue of me like that and it's not the embassy it's the museum of the den of spies captivity the 52 hostages returned to the united states as homecoming heroes. >> they were honored in a ticker tape parade in new york and greeted by newly sworn in president reagan at the white house. but despite the hero's welcome, many were left with both physical and psychological scars from their unprecedented ordeal more than four decades later, in 2022, congress passed the iran hostages congressional gold medal act, recognizing their resilience and sacrifice

for our country i'm jesse l martin thanks for watching. good night people have actually been to titanic. >> less than 50. you had a lot of mystery about why it went down so quickly who survived and who didn't it's a fascinating story, but people should not risk their lives to see this wreck at 4000m. that is not a normal thing to do it simply is adding to the intrigue of the titanic that 100 years later, it's still leading people to their death

really happened. >> i'm jesse l martin the r.m.s. titanic sank to the frigid depths of the atlantic over a century ago. but america's fascination with the ill fated wreck never gets old because there is always something new within the last 40 years, amazing advances in science and technology have led to brilliant new discoveries and uncovered hidden secrets. tonight, we look into how the very latest titanic learning upends our previous thinking about the sadly, a recent underwater voyage to the wreck that put more human lives at risk. this is how it really happened

respects like preparing to go to space because it's an incredibly hostile environment when we think about risk taking as it applies to exploration for me it's the sea the reality is that there's been fewer people that have dove to the titanic than have actually gone into space operation is now underway in the north atlantic, in the area near the wreck of the titanic, to find a lost submersible with five people aboard. when the titan failed to surface at its indicated time, then there was an alarm and the coast guard was notified and the search ensued. >> the u.s. coast guard tells cnn it's got a ship on the scene and aircraft including c-130 planes, canadian ships and planes joining the search, as well the titan was a

submersible that was being used to bring passengers to look at and learn about the titanic firsthand titan, including stockton rush, who owned oceangate, the company that operated the titan pakistani-british billionaire shahzada dawoud, 48 years old, and his 19 year old son suleiman. >> the other members that were on board were p.h. nargeolet. he was involved in virtually every major expedition to titanic. and then hamish harding was a passenger on the vessel. titanic was something that he just really, really wanted to see, and he thought in his own words to me, he thought that the titan was safe enough oceangate explorations would give you a few hours on the bottom of the ocean with the titanic on board their sub, the titan but one hour, 45 minutes into the dive, communication with the titan was lost. there was 96 hours of oxygen on board the titan, so

the timeline is ticking from the very beginning possibly still alive. it was truly a mystery playing out in real time and we all wondered, did the five people on board the titan lose their lives on the very wreck they were trying to explore the three most recognized words in the english language are god coca-cola and titanic what is it about the titanic that makes it so that we cannot get enough? >> why are we so obsessed with this ship? >> 73 years after it sank? a team of french and american scientists announced they had found the titanic two and a half miles down on the 1st of september, 1985. >> bob ballard from woods hole oceanographic institute in the

u.s. together with a team of very experienced french navy diving experts conducted a joint mission to go and try and find the titanic. >> the expedition really had to search hard to find the location of titanic because it wasn't where the distress coordinates had stated it was. >> they were surprised by how far off the mark the distress coordinates were. >> the titanic is located south of newfoundland, canada. >> 350 360 miles off the coast of newfoundland. >> titanic lies in the darkness two miles below the surface there untouched. >> nobody had seen the ship in any capacity since the day it sank. >> the first thing that we encountered were the boilers that had gone through the bow. >> the first image we had was a boiler the ship is in beautiful condition where it is when ballard announced that he had found the wreck of the titanic,

he immediately caught the world's attention. >> the discovery of the wreck helped answer some of those questions questions that there was no other way to figure out without finding the remnants of the ship itself. >> the images that they retrieved were remarkable. >> they were aided by jason junior, a sophisticated underwater camera seeing dishes and shoes some boiler or a piece of equipment, pots and things from the kitchens. >> it was fascinating to see these things. there on the floor of the ocean, right where they had landed. >> the key was coming up with the right search strategy because it was a big area. >> i realized that the key was not to look for the titanic don't look for it. >> look for the debris that comes off of it. >> in late on september 1st, they saw what appeared to be a titanic boiler and then they found the titanic in two halves. >> the bow was quite well preserved, stuck in the mud, and then the stern had really completely imploded and was like a junkyard.

>> the bow and the stern were found about a half of a mile apart. i remember thinking we were disappointed that it wasn't in better condition. we'd had this fantasy that it sunk in one piece, regardless of what the survivors remembered. >> a lot of people including me, had never realized it split in two. that in itself was quite a surprise. >> i was seduced by the imagery of doctor ballard's expeditions and seeing the real wreck on the bottom. but i wanted a human interface between that imagery and the imagery of 1912, and i wanted it. so it ultimately becomes a story about memory titanic was called the ship of dreams and it was when bob ballard found the wreck. >> it brought it to a whole new audience. when james cameron did the film it really brought the disaster home again to a whole new generation of people and of course, to a huge global audience. we're gonna make it

rose. >> trust me. >> suddenly, you could see titanic in full color, brought back to life and because it recounts a very human story, a romance across the class divide, i think that really captures people's imagination. >> it literally took my breath away. >> that ending just struck me for some reason. >> to be able to go down to the wreck and see all the ghosts walking around. james cameron got pulled into this whole titanic mania and did his own exploration and research, and uncovered new evidence. >> there are titanic freaks, right? people who collect items definitely. there. definitely. there's a large number of them. mr. cameron, have you become one? yes, i think so. this is not, then, just another film you directed? >> no, i'm a bona fide rivet counter now. i've been sucked into the vortex of fascination with titanic titanic's sinking and her entire story is shrouded in incredible

mysteries. >> and that is partly why we keep coming back. we always want to know more. we always want to find those answers night that's good for the soul. >> join anderson cooper and laura coates for cnn heroes, an all star tribute. >> thank you guys. >> meet the honorees and celebrate their life changing achievements. >> they're ordinary people doing extraordinary things. >> then find out who will be named the cnn hero of the year. >> it's really incredible. >> plus don't miss a special tribute to this year's legacy award honoree, michael j. fox cnn heroes, an all star tribute. sunday, december eighth on cnn. >> subway launch new 699 meal deals with any six inch subway. >> subway did what dad yep for a limited time. >> get any six inch sub chips and a drink all for

1985 and nowadays where, aided with cgi, we've been able to scan the seabed almost as though the water has been drained away and and there she is. and of course, we're now able to see things at the level of detail for example, of pieces of jewelry on the seabed within the wreck. >> they believe the large scale underwater scanning project is a game changer, and it may solve the mystery of what exactly caused the luxury passenger liner to sink in the atlantic. in >> on the night of april 14th, 1912, the weather conditions seemed to be perfect. >> the visibility was excellent. there was no wind. the sea was as calm as anyone had known it. on the north atlantic. >> i think they were sort of comfortable that they would see the ice and get out of the way in time titanic sank in what i

call a perfect storm of calm and you can see where the ship broke apart it was much messier than what has been portrayed in the movies. >> it was very violent unsinkable because it had these watertight compartments, sort of like an ice cube tray. >> you fill one cube compartment and an ice cube tray. it doesn't flow into the next one until it rises high enough. >> the titanic was built with 16 watertight compartments. this was revolutionary for its day. >> so everyone believed that this was one of the safest ships ever built. >> you have the largest ship in the world. it's on its maiden voyage. i seem to recall that it was 883ft long, which is like three football fields which was enormous. >> she was several stories high. she had 11 decks in total

i believe it weighed around 53,000 tons. she had 900 crew. she could >> and it's supposed to be unsinkable. >> there was this sense of excitement about the newest, biggest. >> if people wanted to travel in luxury titanic, was it titanic had many of the luxuries that you would associate with a five star hotel on land. >> she had a state of the art for the time. gymnasium and there's the top of the line chefs and cuisines titanic attracted a lot of millionaire passengers so it really was sort of a who's who among passenger lists most famously john jacob in the world at the time. >> his fortune then was equivalent today of about $2.3 billion.

>> john jacob astor and his cousin william ran the most profitable hotel in the city for decades. >> the waldorf astoria man. >> he made his wealth as a co-owner of the big department store macy's on board. benjamin guggenheim was a 46 year old industrialist. >> benjamin guggenheim was born into a fortune. >> he was not new money. >> he was old money actress on the titanic, dorothy gibson. >> she had been a model for an illustrator with a lot of magazine covers she was also one of the highest paid silent film actresses at the time, well known for quite a few films. >> even though she was in her early 20s at the time of the titanic

titanic were considered a kind of golden race. >> these marvelous men and women, with their wonderful cars and chauffeurs and ladies maids, and they were all gods and goddesses, really same excitement went for even the third class passengers, from the richest people to the poorest people. >> all of them were having a great time and reveling in the wonders of the ship grandmother. >> she was traveling in third class, the party that jack dawson brought rose to in third class. in the movie titanic, actually happened and my great grandmother was there. >> joseph philippe lemercier laroche was the only black man

on the titanic. joseph was a second class passenger. i believe. he always sort of wanted to return to haiti and to be with his family. >> titanic was that society in miniature everyone was aboard. immigrants as well as high born noble women in their diamonds. they were all there. >> i think the titanic was the last known real moment in history where everybody knew their place. >> and i think that's why people love it. love to talk about it, love to think about it because it's an era that is literally frozen in time there. and things were never the same afterwards thanksgiving parades around the country with special appearances by chef bobby flay, jennifer hudson, t.i. >> and more john berman and erica hill host cnn: thanksgiving in america live

packed they are. people facing in different directions. >> you get inside, you sit down on the floor of titan they close this big, heavy door and they bolted shut from the outside. so once you're in titan, somebody has to let you out of the sub from the outside. >> they have no control over what's going on and almost helplessness. >> it doesn't matter what they do, they cannot find their own solution within the submersible itself. >> they have to wait for somebody else to find them hours of oxygen. >> if you panic on board and hyperventilate, you use more oxygen. so these were all the questions on how much oxygen is really available. >> the easy don't stress, don't panic. >> use as little energy as you can, which is obviously easier said than done. >> in this situation. it would be hard not to be freaked out. >> could have been an electrical failure on board. so therefore systems are shut down if they are alive and they're in there, they're going to be

at almost freezing temperatures. the conditions would be horrendous. >> pitch black, freezing cold and dwindling oxygen. >> all three of those things make for a nightmare scenario dove the wreck did i understand the gravity and the responsibility of telling the story? >> i felt like i was in a sacred space you start trolling around the ship, you start trolling around the ocean bottom and trying to see things that you could extract it was a whether it was a suitcase that we brought up that had a pipe in there that still had tobacco, whether it was a champagne bottle that was still corked or a bottle of olives or telling the story in a respectful way of passengers,

of real lives, when one sees some of these artifacts like a soap dish or a plate, it does go through your mind of who was the last person to use this over 100 years ago and going down the ship on that fateful night was returning to the united states from europe, where he'd been honeymooning with his pregnant 18 year old wife madeleine force astor, and so they wanted to get home in plenty of time before the baby was born married for more than four decades. >> they'd had an incredibly happy marriage throughout that time the strauss's had been traveling in europe, and they thought the return voyage would be a wonderfully pleasant,

relaxing trip back to america question is, was titanic going too fast into a known ice field at the time of the collision, they were going the fastest they had ever gone during the voyage captain smith was the premier white star captain. >> he had an excellent career. >> he was known as the millionaires captain and he actually loved going fast there is some evidence that they were trying to break the maiden voyage crossing time of titanic's sister ship rms olympic. >> there's some pretty credible evidence to that effect. >> what they thought was will surprise them and we'll arrive a day early so that when the papers wake up in the morning in new york the mist will lift and titanic will be there ice warnings for several days from ships that had been traveling through that region.

>> i think they had received seven ice warnings during the day some were heated but others were not. >> the wireless operators. >> they were backed up on correspondence and were under pressure to get that, sent people were wiring ahead to book their hotels for when they got to new york, and things like that. >> there was one particular one which would have suggested to titanic on april 14th that titanic was heading into a heavy ice floe. >> they were basically saying, we're stopped and surrounded by ice phillips just stuck it off to the side to get to it in a few minutes, but he never deliver this message to captain smith the weather conditions were so extraordinarily clear that they caused people to make some errors of judgment about navigation the two lookouts on duty at the time in the crow's nest were frederick fleet and

reginald lee described as a slight haze all around the horizon. >> that's called a refraction haze, and that delayed the sighting of the iceberg they didn't see the iceberg until they were just practically right upon it. >> kind of rose up out of the ocean the lookouts described it as a dark mass that came through that haze and realized it was an iceberg, and rang the warning bell. >> three rings on the bell for an obstacle directly ahead, and then telephoned the bridge fleet called down and said iceberg dead ahead and so they immediately began maneuvers. >> they started turning to the left around the iceberg and it looked like it was going to miss the iceberg entirely at first. >> and that's when they heard a grinding noise the iceberg contacted the titanic up very close to the bow

room, they said it was like the whole side of the ship gave away the clock and the wheelhouse said that it was 11:40 p.m. >> precisely. >> 10,000 years before the birth of paul atreides, before the universe would know us as the bene gesserit we founded a sisterhood we created a the imperium but power prophecy. >> streaming exclusively on max when i was younger, my calling was to play football, but as i grew older i realized life isn't about how many people you can knock down. >> it's about how many people you can lift up at ram, our calling is to build game

lookout scanning the ice field did not have the advantage of binoculars. titanic's binoculars were locked away. stashed in a locker in the crow's nest. and the key to the locker was not on board. a sailor reassigned to another ship at the last minute forgot to leave the key behind when he left. lookout fred fleet, who survived the titanic sinking, would later insist that if binoculars had been available, the iceberg would have been spotted in enough time for the ship to take evasive action saving the lives of everyone on board iceberg, shards of ice dropped onto the boat deck some people were seen throwing them around, having a bit of snow fight. >> there was one passenger that said, oh, get me some ice so i can put it in my drink. and as soon as the collision occurred bridge. >> the first thing in his mind was how badly are were damaged. is it something that the ship's pumps can keep ahead of? can they get that water out and

prevent it from flooding catastrophically? >> captain smith met with thomas andrews, who's the chief engineer, and they went down to the bowels of the ship to inspect the damage. they saw the water pouring in unsinkable because it had these watertight compartments. >> if you fill one, it doesn't flow rises high enough if she had a head on collision she could float with four of her first watertight compartments flooded but the titanic didn't hit the iceberg head on. they had sideswiped the iceberg to where the first five compartments were flooded, and they flooded enough fast enough that they couldn't keep up with the pumps it was an odd thing. >> if they hadn't tried to pull the liner to one side to avoid the iceberg, they would

have hit it dead on and they wouldn't have sunk because the compartments built into the design would have contained the incoming sea. but by turning the iceberg had the opportunity to slash right down the side and that caused an enormous amount of underwater damage. >> it's a mathematical certainty that she would sink seen racing up the grand staircase, three stairs at a time, with a look of terror on his face. >> and at 1225, delivers that devastating news that the ship was doomed. >> hundreds and hundreds of people were going to die. it must just have been an awful realization operators, jack phillips, mainly to send out the call for distress. >> the first distress call went out at 1215 titanic time, which

is about 40 minutes after the iceberg hit saying please come. we need help. one of the messages says water getting up to the top of the boilers dorothy gibson and her mother were in first class. >> and was this scraping sound. as she described it her survival instinct was incredibly strong so she pushed forward with her mother, pauline to get on that very first lifeboat. >> john jacob astor was mingling with some other people on the grand staircase, and he actually was told, get your wife out of bed, get up on deck and get your life jackets. but his wife being pregnant, he was more concerned about her condition. and so they went into the gymnasium to get warm went all around the ship, knocking on doors saying, get

up, get dressed put warm things on and calmly go up to the deck with your life jackets on he is awakened by his steward, and he's given a life preserver. >> the officers and crew members didn't tell everybody the ship was sinking, because they were trying to prevent a panic. >> some people are in their pjs, their slippers, some people are barefoot. >> the early stages of the sinking was relatively calm. >> the musicians were brought up onto the deck to play, relaxing and actually quite fun music. most people were actually trying to make light and make a brave face of what was going on controversies regarding the night of the disaster is there was a ship that was on the horizon >> they tried calling through wireless. they tried signaling it with morse lamp. >> we at the titanic sinking have your boats ready.

>> but that ship just didn't react. and captain smith at one point said, what's what's wrong with them? why aren't they c mystery ship that never came to her rescue? >> we now know that the mystery ship, she was actually the californian. >> apparently, the could have seen the titanic from his binoculars. this is still hotly contested to this very day. the question of why wasn't the californian there as quickly as possible? >> it's just unfortunate that they missed out completely on any opportunity to possibly help ship is taking on water more and more water people are panicking and now they have to utilize the lifeboats that they have on the ship

noises detected by sonar. >> the rescue window continues to shrink responded to titanic's distress calls jack phillips, a senior operator on titanic. >> he first started talking to a german vessel, the frankfurt who had according to phillips, too many questions. >> and what lips wanted was action. >> so he basically cut frankfurt off and said just shut up, stay out of this there was another ship, the mount temple, which was about 59 miles away. >> it immediately turned around and started heading back, but were too far away to provide immediate assistance. >> and those aboard titanic, they knew if they didn't get

ahold of somebody closer, that almost certainly there was going to be a massive loss of life. >> the carpathia she was actually traveling back from new york to europe, about 60 miles south of titanic's westerly route. >> the response to the titanic should have been faster. the titanic started putting out its sos, its distress call. but the wireless room on the carpathia was empty. it was very close to the middle of the night. carpathia was roughly 60 miles away. >> frankfurt was over twice that distance away. >> so it really did make sense for carpathia to be the the ship that phillips would prioritize signals from the titanic first went out. >> the carpathia responded. it was on its way. >> phillips and bride cut in

from titanic and basically said, where have you been we're sinking. come now, come immediately on the carpathia captain rostron immediately ordered the ship to be turned around and headed toward the titanic. >> he knew it was a desperate race. >> all he could do was just go and hope. and they came to the rescue there's a lot of conversation about why titanic didn't have enough lifeboats for everyone. >> they were required to have 16 by law, but they had four extra. >> there were 20 lifeboats. so if we do the math, if they had filled all 20 lifeboats to capacity, they could have carried 100 people. >> but there were more than 2200 people on the titanic. >> 712 people were saved. so there was a lot of empty spaces were fairly common on ships in those days. >> the titanic didn't have one,

unfortunately but it was supposed to have one. on the 14th, which is the date that it hit the iceberg for some reason it was called off. >> it was intended for the crew and they might have mustered certain crew members on deck and made sure that they knew which lifeboat they were to go to. the most senior surviving officer from the titanic was in charge. >> he was very strict about women and children only. >> no, no men allowed in the boat. there was a man who was trying to dress like a woman, or at least appear to be a woman and he wore like a floor length mackintosh, which was like a raincoat which would have passed as a woman's coat. and then he did pull like a towel over his head to look like a scarf, and got into a boat after the order was given to abandon ship, joseph and juliet laroche hurriedly got their girls ready to go up on deck. >> joseph scoops up simone and juliet scoops up louise, and

they make their way up to the top deck of the ship the two of them are separated a crew person sees juliet and louise, and he ushers them onto the lifeboat juliet is panicking because she cannot find joseph and she cannot find simone. >> they lost each other by some miracle, they were able to find each other. as they boarded the lifeboats, and there's commotion. >> a crew member simply takes simone, hands her to her mother, and within moments the lifeboat plunges toward the sea. without her husband and most of the forward lifeboats that left early in the sequence went down only part way full >> although she sank slowly she was actually sinking faster and faster and faster as she was getting settling deeper and deeper in the water and crowds started to form around the last lifeboats and that's where orders started to break down.

>> pushing and shoving and people panicking, trying to force their way in. and then it deteriorated. thatand many of tt them into the air in order to startle passengers and calm them down and bring them to their senses. fifth officer lowe had his own revolver and he actually did fire it at lifeboat number 14. >> he was afraid that the passengers were going to jump from the promenade deck and caused the boat to buckle or collapse john jacob astor had his life belt on, and so he took his wife and they went up to the starboard side. >> he did usher his bride into a lifeboat and the event, when we have astor asking to sit next to his very young and very frightened pregnant wife, and he's turned down, he doesn't remonstrate. >> he just steps back and throws his gloves so she wouldn't have cold hands which i find rather touching isidor and ida strauss were a couple

that had been married for an extremely long time. >> their story is one of the classic titanic stories. he tried to get her to go into a lifeboat. >> lifeboat eight. but she wouldn't get in and went up to her husband and said, we've been together too many years. where you go, i go mostly immigrants. leah x was a lady from england and had a child, so here she is trying to get up the stairs, trying to go up into the aft. >> well deck. >> there were some reports of when people in steerage third class tried to get up from the bowels of the ship. some of the gates were locked to the top deck, where they could find a lifeboat and they were shaking the gates and asking for the gates to be opened there were hundreds of people pushing their way up there, and there was a logjam. >> leah literally had to fight

for her life of it. >> the one that lady duff-gordon got into with her husband they only had 12 people in a boat that should have had 60. it wasn't so much evil as a kind of incompetence. that saddens me that so many more people died than need. >> have there were a good 2.5 hours, three hours before it sank and so you have all this time to ve all this time to be fearful, to be terrified. and i think that's the true horror of what happened on the titanic thanksgiving parades around the country with special appearances by chef bobby flay. >> jennifer hudson, t.i. and more john berman and erica hill host, cnn. thanksgiving in

>> it creeps up and then slowly spreads to the rest of the ship astor hands her ten month old baby boy to another man who helps her try to make her way along the deck and along the ship towards the lifeboats. >> but he's moving much faster than her onboard a ship that is sinking, and she loses sight of her ten month old boy when she got to the top, they didn't wait for her with the baby and out of the corner of her eye, she sees what she thinks is someone throwing her baby into the ocean and she ran around the deck looking, asking everybody, have you seen my baby? >> have you seen my baby? no no, no. and she said she contemplated jumping after him

she was so upset that she was on the verge of a dead faint and she lost her mind and then she was in this lifeboat floating around in the middle of the north atlantic traveling with his mistress, a young french singer, léontine aubert. >> he managed to get her and her maid into a lifeboat. >> he is one of those characters on titanic that makes it into almost every book and every film. because of one particular thing that occurred, the story goes that he and his manservant go back to the stateroom and they change into their best. i mean, who was getting dressed in tuxedos when the ship is going down and somebody said what are you doing dressed as you are? and he said, we've dressed in our best and we are prepared to go down like gentlemen there was a

story that john jacob astor let all the dogs out of the titanic's kennels so they wouldn't be trapped in the sinking ship. >> he was a big dog lover sinking remained very calm and very brave. >> after all the lifeboats have left, he goes around releasing the crew. he basically puts a hand on their shoulder and says, you've done all you can. it's every man for himself now the bow lower and lower, you still had this very buoyant stern of the titanic. >> the stern began to rise a little bit. >> people were still on board all of a sudden a wave came over them and engulfed them. >> they felt the ship really sinking. some people started running most passengers had run to the back of the ship, and they thought they running most n to the back of the ship, and

they thought they might survive. people headed up there just to higher ground. they began grabbing onto things. people were like clinging like bees and clumps to the different things it was total pandemonium iceberg more than seven tons of frigid water was pouring into the ship every second, far more than the pumps could force back >> the last of titanic's lifeboats were being loaded and launched but there were 1500 souls still stranded aboard who realized there will be no chance of a rescue for them, and there was no real guarantee for the people adrift in the rowboats. do any vessels know they're out there? is aid on the way. the frightening ordeal continues for the refugees of the doomed ocean liner.
