Finding the Titanic | Bob Ballard: An Explorer’s Life

Said my mom I was born in titanic and sink my mother put me in the life boat and my mother too

I grew up reading about Dr. Ballard’s discovery of the Titanic. I can’t imagine what it felt lol to be at the exact spot where the ship went down and countless people lost their lives. I get chills just thinking about it. The Titanic is a graveyard and should be treated as such. It should not be a tourist attraction.

Exactly 73 years that's emotionally over dramatic for me to handle

Good evening everyone

I love the respect you and your guys giving the men and women who perished on Titanic

“Everything important occurs right around midnight”. If that ain’t the truth 👏🏼

What a great person you are! What a bravery👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏hats off to you sir 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏

So Finding 2 US Nuclear submarines are the main objectives, finding Titanic was just a side quest, awesome

I've always been extremely interested in the Titanic. I have never watched the film, nor was that how I discovered it existed. The history behind it has always been why I have loved to watch documentaries about it, even from a young age.

The discovery of the titanic regardless if it was a cover or not is so wholesome. Its so beautiful that not only did they get excited but they were able to shorten that excitement of discovery into a moment of silence and pay tribute and respects to the tragedy.

Remember, the government has used the titanic to hide things in the past…

Found it using the expanded lighter debri field. Smart

History was definitely made that day, when they found Titanic

I think that area of the water is like the Bermuda Triangle, maybe worse, it has taken so many people & vessels

Love the whole story of how they found it. Most people don’t know it’s discovery was a cover up to go find our two missing subs. Rest in peace to those aboard rms titanic as well as our sailors lost aboard thresher and scorpion!

Has the Titanic deteriorated very much since it's discovery in 1986 and today , 2023 ??

What great respect they showed. Initially joy of finding a lost piece of history, then the reality of a gravesite that had been unearthed in a sense. It's 2023, I think we're losing people of such great intelligence.

I can just only imagine being alive in that time and hearing the news that she had been found

Never showed the part where they found the hull and as the camera began to rise they could see the whole ship

I like that they showed their respect to those 1500 men, women and children from across the world who died horrifically, freezing and terrified in the dark. This isn't just a tourist attraction, it's a memorial.

Should they be cheering tho?

Now the Titan submersible imploded right near the titanic. Rest in peace to the 5 souls.

Respect honestly admire those that find the impossible

He said "pressure hulls," not "pressure holes."

i dont like the fact that he says HE found it ... THEY found it

I was born in the 90s and grew up with the movie, I never thought about how or when the Titanic got discovered. Only now after the OceanGate incident that I realized how vast and dark the deep sea is. To see how these explorers found her with 80s technology, with blurred cameras and all that, is just out of this world.

Titanic then and Titan now. Heart goes to all those who lost their lives in both incidents.

2023? Extremely similar Submarine disaster

Who else watching this after this Titan debacle 🥴

who is here after oceangate

Good job that they had the respect and sense to give the poor people a moment of silence

Respect ! You did great job !

Everything important occurred right around midnight, that gave me chill as that’s also the time Titanic sunk, sounds like Titanic’s calling….

RIP to the 5 that lost there life’s going down to see this

Anyone here after those 5 people perished submersible 2023

Bob Ballard gets paid to just explore... and do CIA stuff. Dude is living the dream.

Who else is here after hearing a certain news? 😑

Who’s here when the sub is on it’s last day 🙏🙏

Bro tricked the government to get him to find the titanic

Just signed up for a submarine trip down to see the Titanic. Can't wait to go!

Here because of the miss submersible. It bewilders me that the wreckage is so deep that it is virtually like finding a needle in a haystack looking for this sub, BUT somehow 37 years ago, they were able to locate any kind of wreckage (nuclear sub or titanic wreck site) that deep on the ocean floor.

Here trying to figure out where the subersimble might be

Sadly i think the submersible may have met the same fate.

Anybody else here bc that submarine went missing?

If these two submarines imploded then unfortunately that titanic vessel had to of imploded as well

"'It’s been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was"' - Rose

Why did he not bring just one item up from the depths and claim salvage rights to the Titanic? Then the ship could have been left in peace instead of being torn apart for "relics" to be sold on the open market by the French. Instead he placed a plaque. I find it very troubling.
