MANILA, Philippines - The sinking of Titanic is the most famous maritime disaster in history and continues to fascinate even after a century. Tonight at 10:15, GMA News TV presents Inside the Titanic — a big budget docudrama which weaves together both scientific and very personal accounts of the tragedy. It shows how a handful of decisions in the moments after the Titanic sideswiped an iceberg, pushed the great ship’s situation from grave to doomed, resulting in the massacre of more than 1,500 passengers and crew.
Everybody on board was fooled by the water, a devious and unstoppable killer. Sometimes it crept unseen, at other times, it roared. One minute, it was hidden, the next, it was everywhere.
Inside the Titanic’s stories are told through action-led reconstruction of eyewitness reports — a nanny charged with delivering a six-year-old girl to her family in New York, a boiler room worker, a rich American family and two brothers who fled the ship moments apart but never saw each other again. The docudrama also features the highest quality effects, including the sounds those on board would have heard as the sea surged through the ship.
