i dont think that there i s a possible way to find out exactly when it will colapse...like an exact date and time.....so i dont think they would be able to put the collapse on video unless someone just happens to be down there when it does and films it...but that would be purly accidental...but if they could find out an exact date and time whenit would happen and put in on TV i would definatly watch it and definatly cry.

Titanic will disinagrate in 8 years there will be nothing left of the ship
Louise from Canada

8 years ??? Where did you find that number??

Good grief. There was a recent article published about this same topic.

Wreck of the Titanic to be gone by 2028

Yes where on earth did you get that figure? So that means titanic desintigrates 101 years or so after it sank........I do not think so, there are ships of the 16th century still on the sea bed today.......granted no where near as bad conditions but come on 101 years and it is gone...do not think so....many bioengineres and such claim it will colapse in on its self in 10-15 years, full desiintigration will be atleast a decade after that. The ship the now is.......well 40% less than on april 12th 1912.

I read that the metal plating of the Titanic is being eaten away by bacteria. They say it the the ship will be practically gone in about 30 to 40 years but that could be inncorect.

I think your numbers jillian are more correct, 8 years I can't see happening. I saw figures what they where I cant really remember but apparantly titanic looses 10 tons every day. Something like that am not sure what it is exactly

I read the article, and at the end of the day, I hope the Titanic will hold on for as long as possible.

After watching a documentary recently, it was quoted that it will be gone in the next 100 years and will be just an iron ore deposit on the sea-bed.

I think it will last a lot longer than 8 years, the longer the better I think, if I could put a number on it, I think around 50 years, I hope I am wrong

I have watched all the documenteries before Cameron & Crew went down and if you watch the original 3 tape discovery from the late 80's they were carrying out many tests on the iron ore, micro organisms etc and they quoted a collapse would probably take place in 8 years time. If you visit the Nautical Research Inc website and read, you will see that the collapse has already begun. The starboard side and the mast.
