# Titanic A& E Home Video Documentary Part 3

As the massive ship sinks in the icy North Atlantic, Captain Edward J. Smith orders the lifeboats readied. With room for only half the passengers, they fill quickly with women and children. White distress flares are fired into the night. SOS signals are sent. Yet, only one ship responds. It is 58 miles away. Why didn't nearby ships reply? Why were there so few lifeboats? Why were the iceberg warnings ignored? The "unsinkable" Titanic was a dream come true. Four city blocks long. A passenger list worth 250 million dollars. But on her maiden voyage in April 1912, that dream became a nightmare when the giant ship struck an iceberg and sank in the cold Atlantic. More than 1,500 lives were lost in one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century. Now, the sensational history of the premier liner is recounted definitively in TITANIC. Using newsreels, stills, diaries, and interviews with survivors, TITANIC charts the fateful history of the ship and its passengers in a gripping and authentic account of the legendary disaster.
