Plot

An ambitious factual drama that reveals moment by moment exactly how the Titanic sank, telling the untold stories of the engineers and stokers who battled the icy water.

It already aired on Discovery Channel before as Curiosity: What Sank Titanic?

Historical accuracy

The episode received very mixed reviews, varying between "best Titanic documentary ever" to "this is total trash!". Overall, the episode has zero historical accuracy and does not deserve to be called a documentary.

Everything wrong with Inside The Titanic

• It shows the flooding of a C-Deck State Room, but that room was completely aft, it wouldn't have taken on any water at all but be rising above the ocean near the end. Also it makes no sense for water just to fill randomly through some pipes if the rest of the water level isn't even there yet.
• The sinking is depicted completely wrong. The bow didn't sink that deep in the first 20 minutes, nor does it sink at such a low angle as seen in the drama.
