For her to say the Titanic was super a very accurate reenactment makes the distater so much scarier

10:46 That, looks terrifying. Being locked in an enclosed space on a ship in the ocean.
@johnniemiec3286
A note about the air pockets she mentioned... after the Pearl Harbor attacks when work was being done to drain and refloat the USS West Virginia, the bodies of three sailors were found in a room by salvage crews with food and fresh water. There were marks on the bulkhead wall indicating they had made it 16 days until air ran out.

Hello, naval engineer here. Please, bring this lady more often to the channel. I really enjoyed it, she explains everything very very well.
@LITTLE1994
So awesome to hear this from an ACTUAL Captain. We don't get this very often.
@thisguyaintfunny1881
Wendy was amazing! Kudos for finding so many interesting and talented people from every corner of society, and making them react to our favorite movies :)

"Is it advisable to go up or down?" "I mean the ship is sinking" Gem

The Poseidon was less of a purpose built cruise ship and more of a conversion. She was an ocean liner planned to be scrapped after the voyage when she was struck by the tsunami. The movie also made it clear that the ship was top heavy and the captain intended to take on ballast, but the cruise director overruled his request. Granted, the original book had specified the wave as a rogue wave.
@fabiendalmasso
If I remember correctly, the Poseidon adventure was inspired by a real event that happened to the RMS Queen Mary, which actually got hit by a rogue wave. It caused heavy damages and caused the ship to list dangerously, but in the end it took balance back and was able to go back to port. An italian liner was involved in a similar incident that destroyed a good part of the bridge, but it did not capsized either.

Great video! She mentioned that the Titanic didn’t know that there was ice, but they had actually received multiple warnings about an ice field, which included the fateful iceberg. Other ships in close proximity to the ice field slowed down, but the Titanic went full steam ahead into that ice field.
@amyhull754
It was so fun to hear her say that the disaster films were fun and exciting and enjoyable...but not real. I loved her using the term "turn turtle." This was a real joy. I hope we see Captain Williams again.
@Youngstown529
I love how she's like, "nah, this is just dumb"
@ZanHecht
Surprised she didn't mention the Carnival Triumph "poop cruise", which happened less than a year after that Simpsons episode aired.

1:04 The crew of the Titanic WERE expecting ice and were warned by other ships multiple times before their journey and during their journey from other ships which had passed through earlier. The tragedy of the Titanic was due to a number of complications all adding up. The binoculars that the crew used to spot ice bergs were locked away due to a personal change and the person who had the key took it with him. So, spotters were using their naked eye to look for icebergs. When they finally did spot the iceberg, they were going too fast to stop in time and couldn't avoid it. Then the closest ship to them (the California if I remember correctly) did not receive their transmissions as early as they should have because the telegraph operator had gone to sleep. So boats had to come from farther away to help rescue passengers and crew. 2:08 Those drills were actually put in place BECAUSE of the Titanic's sinking. Prior to this event, there were no safety briefings to passengers or even enough lifeboats on the boat. The Titanic Museum in Belfast is an amazing display and a great place to learn if anyone is interested.

@whillard2447
It would have been good to clear the difference between a cruise ship (ships from nowadays that are purely for pleasure) and an ocean liner (older ships that existed before the planes and that were the only method to get to the USA or across any ocean, like the Titanic is)

The Noro Virus is no joke. We had a premie baby in 2012, and he was in the NICU for 8 weeks, which means we were there for 8 weeks. I caught the virus at the hospital and it nearly killed me. I lost 40 pounds, about 20 too much. Still dealing with the damage almost 12 years later.
@TrickiVicBB71
I was surprised and happy they covered Deep Rising. Really good horror/action movie
@lanarkorras4411
I really like her insight. The clarity, enjoyment of the movies and mostly her level of scrutiny - all spot-on!
