Real-time video of Titanic sinking a hit online

Chennai

The video runs a remarkable two hours and 41 minutes. It’s a teaser for an immersive video game currently in production called Titanic: Honor and Glory , which will let players experience what it was like to be on the ill-fated ship when it went down. The video shows an animated version of the ship sailing across the ocean at night. At the 11.39 mark, the ship’s crew spot an iceberg. Later that minute, all engines are ordered to stop, but in vain. A minute later the Titanic strikes the iceberg on its starboard sides. Voice-overs of the crew can be heard yelling instructions like “Close the emergency doors” and “Ring the warning bell”, as we slowly pan the ocean liner from various angles. While the video eerily depicts the ship empty, written prompts and sound effects detail the panic and tension created by the tragic events.
