It’s not just painful.
People don’t realize when you fall into freezing water you involuntarily and rapidly gasp for air and hyperventilate making it very hard to control your body and not inhale water.
I did this at the Titanic museum at Dollywood, and the water was way colder than I thought it would be. Like 2 seconds in and my hand was freezing. It’s insane anyone survived in that water.
Crazy how just a few seconds in that water feels unbearable. Hard to **imagine** what people went through that night.
I did not know it was below freezing 28F.
That’s some horror.
What a brilliant exhibit
Now dunk your whole body…
Where is this?
First girl kind of looked like Rose
That moment when history literally chills you to the bone who knew empathy could be temperature controlled
I’d have frozen to death on the deck before the Titanic even sank.
Yeah but people on the Titanic probably put gloves on before jumping in the water.
This is so horrifying. Imagine having to go through an entire night like this.
In school, a teacher put 15 pennies in the bottom of a 3 Gallon bucket and then filled it with ice and water. She then allowed anyone who wanted to try to get all 15 pennies in one go with one arm and she’d give them $100. I got 2nd with 9. First place was like 12. Your hand gets so cold it doesn’t want to move. I can only imagine the entire body
Cold. ‘Nuff said
This guy was extraordinary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gu%C3%B0laugur_Fri%C3%B0%C3%BE%C3%B3rsson
Very cold, there’s a timer too and you’re not allowed to keep your hand in past 3 minutes because it might cause actual damage to you
Also very stinky water
I live in Newfoundland, surrounded by the Atlantic.
I remember asking a fisherman once why so many fishermen can’t swim. They work on the ocean in boats it seems dangerous to not have that skill. He told me swimming isn’t going to help you if you fall into the Atlantic Ocean.
I do saltwater icefishing, it’s some of the coldest water you can feel.
I would not want to be in their places
This is why survival OFF* the Titanic was nearly impossible.
How cold is it in °C?
I remember the first time I did cold water immersion, I had done as much research as I could, yet nothing prepares you for that moment. It was snowing, we had to take a hatchet and smash the ice up in the lake and then we (someone experienced in CWI) went in. The shock really, really hit me, gasping for breath and it took me 20-30 seconds to control my breathing. I do it regularly now so I can control it, plus I’m standing on the bottom. Those poor souls on the Titanic.
It’s the absolute shock of your entire body being plunged into it that is truly lethal. Your body tenses up and its hard to breath. All of this is in addition to the mental shock of the unsinkable boat, in fact, sinking.
The Titanic is one of the biggest tragedies in non war related history for a reason.
The water was next to a fucking glacier. People really thought it wasn’t that bad?
JP Morgan “conveniently” missed his voyage on the titanic.
Add on top of that it was a moonless night on the open ocean, they likely wouldn’t be able to see their hand in front of their face.
Me and a friend had this game where we would break the ice of a puddle and see who can keep their hand in the freezing water longer. After ~60 seconds you no longer feel anything and can keep your hand basically until paramedics arrive to take you to the hospital. The truth is dying is not painful, you just go numb at some point.
For this reason I don’t ever want to sail in cold water.
i got reynauds, this would make my hands just straight up nubs even if i did survive
Wow looked it up the water is 28 degrees. Guess it makes sense being it’s salt water cold enough for giant icebergs
Surprised jack managed to hold on for so long
Imagine falling in water that cold and it’s pitch black. I was shocked when i realized that out in the ocean at night without lights means you can literally see nothing.
Jumping into a mountain spring recently at around 60 F is cold itself.
As a canadian (I’m sure other countries have this as well) We have what we call “polar bear dips” where for fundraisers (or fun because Canadians are fucking weird like that) jump in a cut out section of a frozen lake.
I have never been so cold in my entire life and I’ve lived through northern (yukon) winters. Absolutely 10/10 would do it again for a fundraiser while being incredibly displeased to do it..
They used to have these at the LCBO, it circulates the water so it can cool your room temp bottles quickly before you leave
Big respect to Charles Joughin, who survived the water for 2 hours and was rescued, which he always credited to drinking huge quantities of whiskey that night.
When I was a kid they had these exact little whirlpool things in the liquor stores so you could chill your wine. I always used to stick my arms in until it got numb and then flip it around because that’s the kind of dumb shit kids do.
Lowkey the first woman actually looked like Kate Winslet
Here I was thinking they’d hit a warm iceberg.
Every comment:
One time I was in freezing cold water and it was freezing cold!!
There was enough room for two on that door
that will shut up anybody who think they could have survived the water, show them the vid
60 degree Fahrenheit water can become unbearable, fast. What people went through over the sinking of the Titanic was horrific. Anyone who says freezing to death is painless is only kidding themselves. It’s a terrible way to go.
“I could do it” – Joe Rogan probably.
I left my hand in there for about a minute halfway up my forearm, I was sore and it felt great for about 39 seconds then it rapidly became uncomfortable
I’m used to cryo therapy though
And then you think back to the film and how much time they spend just swimming around in the water inside the ship itself without really showing the cold. It’s not like the water instantly warmed up when it got inside
That’s a neat idea for a museum exhibit, but how the hell do they keep it clean? Urgh.
I mean they didn’t hit a tropical waterburg.
