About this episode
The episode covers the moments after Titanic hits the iceberg, focusing on the passengers' disbelief and the efforts to summon help amidst challenging conditions.
An hour after hitting the iceberg Titanic has come to a dead stop. The still-slumbering passengers are told the ship is sinking, but many of them refuse to believe it. Wireless operators Phillips and Bride continue their attempts to summon help. And as freak weather conditions wreak havoc with the distress calls, a rescue ship finally sets a course for Titanic’s position… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.
