That moment when history literally chills you to the bone who knew empathy could be temperature controlled

Crazy how just a few seconds in that water feels unbearable. Hard to **imagine** what people went through that night.

I did this at the Titanic museum at Dollywood, and the water was way colder than I thought it would be. Like 2 seconds in and my hand was freezing. It’s insane anyone survived in that water.

Yeah but people on the Titanic probably put gloves on before jumping in the water.

This is so horrifying. Imagine having to go through an entire night like this.

People don’t realize when you fall into freezing water you involuntarily and rapidly gasp for air and hyperventilate making it very hard to control your body and not inhale water.

60 degree Fahrenheit water can become unbearable, fast. What people went through over the sinking of the Titanic was horrific. Anyone who says freezing to death is painless is only kidding themselves. It’s a terrible way to go.

Just try a cold plunge. My gym has one at 50 and one at 40 degrees. I make it about 1-2 minutes in the 50 degree tub. It’s crazy how cold it is compared to walking around in similar temp air.
I do saltwater icefishing, it’s some of the coldest water you can feel.
I would not want to be in their places

Add on top of that it was a moonless night on the open ocean, they likely wouldn’t be able to see their hand in front of their face.

Here’s the thing with this test ,it doesn’t incorporate adrenaline, those people where fighting for there lives and in true fear survival mode

This is why survival OFF* the Titanic was nearly impossible.

The trick to doing this is having no choice. Survival mode will do some wild stuff to your psyche.

Me and a friend had this game where we would break the ice of a puddle and see who can keep their hand in the freezing water longer. After ~60 seconds you no longer feel anything and can keep your hand basically until paramedics arrive to take you to the hospital. The truth is dying is not painful, you just go numb at some point.

For this reason I don’t ever want to sail in cold water.

In school, a teacher put 15 pennies in the bottom of a 3 Gallon bucket and then filled it with ice and water. She htne allowed anyone who wanted to try to get all 15 pennies in one go with one arm and she’d give them $100. I got 2nd with 9. First place was like 12. Your hand gets so cold it doesn’t want to move. I can only imagine the entire body

It’s the absolute shock of your entire body being plunged into it that is truly lethal. Your body tenses up and its hard to breath. All of this is in addition to the mental shock of the unsinkable boat, in fact, sinking.
The Titanic is one of the biggest tragedies in non war related history for a reason.

i got reynauds, this would make my hands just straight up nubs even if i did survive

Wow looked it up the water is -28 degrees. Guess it makes sense being it’s salt water cold enough for giant icebergs

Unless you were drunk so I’d probably be ok

I left my hand in there for about a minute halfway up my forearm, I was sore and it felt great for about 39 seconds then it rapidly became uncomfortable
I’m used to cryo therapy though

Cold. ‘Nuff said
I did not know it was below freezing 28F.
That’s some horror.

So a quick death?
