The video that shows what the sinking of the Titanic would have looked like and already has more than 24 million views on

The RMS Titanic, the largest passenger liner in the world at the time of its completion, collided with an iceberg and sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912. 1496 people died of the 2208 who traveled. The ship was going from Southampton (UK) to New York.

The best known recreation up until the time of the sinking was the one created by James Cameron for his famous 1998 film. In Titanic, part of the plot takes place when the ship breaks up and is lost forever in the water.

In the last few hours, however, a new video has gone viral on X and TikTok showing what the sinking could really have been like. The clip focuses on something that perhaps many didn’t take into account while watching the film: the light.

The clip, recovered by “Historyland” (@HistoryIand) on X from the account @gunsnrosesgirl3, shows that at the time of the sinking no one probably saw anything.

This version suggests that the final moments of those who died in the tragedy were completely blind. A simulation that sparked terror on social networks.

The clip shared by the aforementioned account already has more than 24 million views on X.

What they said on the networks

Most of the comments about X refer to how terrifying the scene must have been.

“That darkness, that horror, that pain, that fright”, “Don’t forget the water and the sub-zero temperatures…” and “Brother! Just the sight of that darkness sent shivers down my spine”, are some of the sentences that appear below in the comments.

And some brought more terror: “The screams, don’t forget the screams”.
