A new shocking discovery about the Titanic! At the time of the tragedy, there was a boat nearby, it has finally been revealed why it did not help
The British newspaper “The Times” published a text stating that documents that have been reanalyzed indicate that the Titanic sank due to an unusual meteorological event – a “temperature inversion”, in which cold air penetrates under warmer air.
According to historian Tim Maltin, it was the temperature inversion that led to the collision with the iceberg, which hampered the rescue operation.
He claims that on April 15, 1912, cold air with the help of the Labrador Current broke out from under the warm air carried by the Gulf Stream. According to him, the effect of such an event is a mirage that can make people think that certain objects are closer than they are.
Although the Titanic was doomed from the moment it hit the iceberg, the enormous loss of life could have been avoided if the SS Californian, which was sailing nearby, had come to its aid, the newspaper reported.
Martin points out that the crew of the SS Californian saw the Titanic, but that due to the temperature inversion they concluded that they were not seeing a large ship in the distance, but a smaller one closer to them.
If they had correctly identified the Titanic, they might have been able to communicate with it and find out what was going on – instead, they assumed the smaller ship they saw had no such equipment and tried unsuccessfully to make contact using a beacon, the historian added.
Maltin claims that the two ships were unable to read the signals due to atmospheric disturbance. Professor Andrew Young of San Diego State University agrees with him, and confirms that there was a “superior apparition in the ice field where the Titanic sank.”
“The illusion and related refraction phenomena contributed to the confusion at the time of the accident,” explains Young.
The Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM on April 15, 1912, and of the 2,240 passengers and crew who set sail on the Titanic, more than 1,500 perished.
