It is the world's top ten unsolved mysteries, respectively: the mystery of the Korean airliner crash, the death of JFK, the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster, the mystery of the Egyptian tombs, the mystery of UFOs, the mystery of spontaneous combustion of the human body, the mystery of the miracle, the mystery of the ghosts, the mystery of the shroud, the mystery of the sinking of the Titanic.
1, the Korean airliner crash mystery
A Korean Airlines Boeing 747 from Seoul to Guam crashed in the early morning hours of August 6, 1997, local time, near Guam International Airport, killing more than 200 people.
There was heavy rain and bad weather, and the plane was flying about 5 kilometers from Guam International Airport when it suddenly disappeared from the radar screen and lost contact with the ground command tower. According to witnesses, the plane crashed into a dense forest near the airport with a ball of fire and explosions were heard.
After 17 hours of intense work, U.S. rescuers recovered the bodies of about 70 victims from the wreckage of the South Korean airliner that crashed in Guam and from the crash site; Korean Air said 29 of the 254 people on board survived, four of whom were crew members. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board sent a specialized investigation team to the scene to investigate the cause of the accident. The two "black boxes" on the crashed plane have also been found and sent to Washington for analysis.
South Korea and the U.S. officials have differing opinions on the cause of the Korean Air crash.
The South Koreans emphasized that the navigational equipment at Guam airport was in a malfunctioning state, that the staff on duty at the airport's command tower was not an employee of the Federal Aviation Administration, and that the weather was abnormal, which ultimately led to the plane's crash.
The U.S. argued that the malfunction of the navigational device should not have affected the normal landing of the plane, and questioned why the Korean side replaced the Airbus flights on the route with chartered Boeing 747s, which have been flying for 13 years. Boeing, on the other hand, says its products have an accident rate of only 1.78 percent per million.
On Aug. 10, 1997, U.S. federal investigators said an investigation found that computer software for the radar system at Guam International Airport was malfunctioning when the large Korean airliner crashed, failing to alert the plane in time for its approach to the ground.
Generally, when an airplane is flying close to the ground, the airport's radar system will issue an alert, and ground commanders will remind pilots in time. But the investigation found that due to a software problem, the radar did not detect the South Korean plane's approach to the ground, so the pilots did not receive a warning from the ground command tower before the plane crashed.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board official in charge of investigating the crash argued that problems with the radar system could not be said to have caused the plane to crash, but only that one aspect of the lack of preventive measures. There are many factors that could have contributed to the crash.
In addition, the fact that the Guam airport's navigation system, which guided the plane to its landing, had been out of service for a long time before the accident; and that Guam was experiencing torrential rains when the plane approached the airport are possible factors that investigators are examining in the plane's accident.
2. JFK's death
Since the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, U.S. presidents have been assassinated, and the halo of power around their heads has almost become a target in the eyes of some "maniacs". However, the background to the Kennedy shooting is particularly puzzling.
The American public is puzzled: the murderer Lee Harvey Oswald in the eyes of the federal agents, in front of the cameraman was shot "silence", and shot to kill Jack Ruby shortly after the mysterious death.
Around this case, the United States public opinion put forward a variety of assumptions. Some people believe that this is a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (referred to as: the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency) and the military in the "hawks" *** with the planning of the coup plot; others believe that the assassination is the "mafia" for.
What's more, there are people to Kennedy's death and Marilyn Monroe's suicide together. In order to find out the truth of the case, the U.S. government set up a special commission of inquiry to investigate the case.
But the commission, which investigated for several years, concluded that the shooting of Kennedy was a personal act by Oswald, without any deeper political background.
Once the conclusions were announced, public outcry erupted. Some civil society organizations vowed to get to the bottom of the case, but to this day the case remains "in the public domain".
As time passes, many of the people involved have died, and those who remain are nearing their twilight years and appear to be taking the mystery to their graves.
The gunfire on the streets of Dallas will probably remain an eternal mystery in American political history.
The incident: On the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, U.S. President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy arrived in the Texas capital of Dallas and traveled downtown in an open-top sedan. The Kennedys (in the back) smiled at the welcoming crowd at the curb. They were blissfully unaware of the coming of the Grim Reaper.
At 1:30 p.m., gunfire erupted as the presidential motorcade passed through a downtown intersection, and before the president's bodyguards had a chance to react, Kennedy was head over heels in front of his wife, and Governor Connally was critically wounded.
Johnson escorted Kennedy's casket back to Washington immediately after the news of his assassination was announced. At 3:38 p.m., Johnson was sworn in as president of the United States on the Air Force One presidential plane back to Washington, with a stunned Mrs. Kennedy standing beside him.
JFK's body was transferred from Bethesda Naval Hospital to the White House in the early morning of Nov. 23, 1963, and on Nov. 25, the U.S. government held a funeral service for Kennedy.
Hours after Kennedy's assassination, Dallas police captured his killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, in a movie theater.
On Nov. 24, 1963, Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby pulled a gun on Oswald during his transfer to prison in front of dozens of federal agents and police officers and killed Oswald, who himself ended up dying in prison.
3, the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster
The Loch Ness Monster, is one of the most mysterious and fascinating enigmas on earth.
Loch Ness is located in the Great Glen in the northern part of the Scottish Highlands in the United Kingdom, and the lake is 39 kilometers long and 2.4 kilometers wide. The area is not large, but deep. The average depth reaches 200 meters, and the deepest is 293 meters. The lake remains frozen all year round, with steep banks and dense woods. The northern end of the lake is connected to the North Sea by a river.
The earliest record of the water monster can be traced back to 565 A.D., the Irish missionary St. Columba and his servant swimming in the lake, the water monster suddenly attacked the servant, thanks to the clergyman's timely rescue, the servant swam back to the shore to save his life, and since then, more than a dozen centuries, about the emergence of the monster of the water of the news of up to 10,000 cases. But at that time, people did not believe in this, think it is just an ancient legend or nonsense.
Until April 1934, Wilson, a doctor in London, passed by Loch Ness, just in time to find the monster swimming in the lake. Wilson rushed to take a picture of the monster with his camera, which was not very clear, but still clearly showed the monster's features: a long neck and a small, flat head, which looked nothing like any kind of aquatic animal, but very much like the serpent-necked reptile, a huge reptile that went extinct more than 70 million years ago.
Serpentinosaurus, a giant aquatic reptile that lived from more than 100 million years ago to more than 70 million years ago, is a distant relative of the dinosaurs. It had an elongated neck, oval body and long tail with sharp teeth in its mouth, and fed on fish, making it a dominant force at sea during the Mesozoic era.
If the Loch Ness Monster is really a serpent-necked dragon, it is undoubtedly an extremely valuable surviving prehistoric animal, and the discovery will occupy an important place in zoology.
So the publication of this photo soon caused a worldwide sensation, and along with the "dinosaur fever" of the twentieth century, people began to associate the monster with the possibility that the serpent-necked dragon was still alive, and paid great attention to it.
April 23, 1960, the British aeronautical engineer Dingstedt in Loch Ness shot more than 50 feet of film, the film is relatively rough, but the screening can still clearly see a black long-necked giant creatures swimming across the Loch Ness.
Some scientists who were in denial changed their minds after seeing the film. The Royal Air Force's Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Center analyzed Tinsdale's film and concluded that "the thing is probably biological."
In the 1970s, scientists began to use advanced instrumentation in the search for monsters, and in August 1972, Boston, USA, applied some of the use of underwater cameras and sonar to take pictures of Loch Ness, one of which showed a two-meter-long rhombic finned limb attached to a huge organism. Meanwhile, the sonar instrument sought out the huge object moving through the loch.
The institute sent another expedition to Loch Ness in June 1975 and took more photographs. Two of these were of particular interest: one showed a huge body with a long neck, and also showed the object's two stubby, fin-like limbs.
Estimated from the photos, the creature was 6.5 meters long, including a 2.7-meter-long forehead, and indeed resembled a serpent-necked dragon. Another photo captured the monster's head, which was enlarged by a computer to reveal short tentacles and a wide-open mouth. The cynical conclusion is that "there is indeed a large, unknown aquatic animal in Loch Ness."
The discoveries in 1972 and 1975 were a sensation, and made it clear that the mystery of the water monster, or the capture of a living serpent-necked dragon, was imminent. Since then, the United Kingdom and the United States jointly organized a large-scale expedition, sending 24 ships in a long serpentine formation, sailing across Loch Ness in a dragnet, in an attempt to capture the water monster in one fell swoop. But unfortunately, in addition to recording some more sonar information, nothing.
As a result of the failed hunt for the water monster, holding a negative view has become popular again. A retired electronics engineer wrote in the British magazine New Scientist that the Loch Ness Monster was not an animal but an ancient pine tree.
He said that more than 10,000 years ago, many pine trees grew around Loch Ness. At the end of the ice age, "the lake rose and many of the pines sank to the bottom. The pressure of the water caused the resin inside the trunks to drain to the surface, while the resulting gases could not be vented.
The pines would sometimes rise to the surface, only to sink again after releasing some of their gases at the surface. This looks like the head, neck and body of a water monster from a distance."
But this view did not convince those who claimed to have witnessed the water monster. And in the late 1970s, several more people took photos of the water monster.
So why can't people capture water monsters to this day?
This begins with the special geology of Nice. It turns out that the water in Loch Ness contains a lot of peat, which makes the lake very turbid, and the visibility in the water is less than three or four feet. And the bottom of the lake is a complex terrain, everywhere is a maze of deep valleys and ravines like a maze of twists and turns.
Even the huge aquatic animals are also very easy to hide quietly, avoiding the electronic instruments of reconnaissance. The lake is full of fish, so monsters don't have to go out to feed, and the lake is connected to the sea, making it easy for monsters to get in and out, so it's not easy to capture them.
But as long as the monster is not really found, the mystery has not been solved. Until now, people for the existence of water monsters do not rest, who can not jump to conclusions.
In this regard, the British writer Zist said: "Many suspects have less evidence of their crimes than the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, and hanged." This is not a humorous and clever comment on the mystery of the water monster, both ancient and modern.
4, the mystery of Egyptian tombs
A British man named John Taylor, an amateur of astronomy and mathematics, is more of a pyramid enthusiast, the pyramids have a lot of amazing discoveries. He had studied the pyramids based on the data provided in the literature.
After doing the calculations, he found that the Great Pyramid of Khufu contained many mathematical principles. First, he noticed that the base angle of the Great Pyramid of Khufu was not 60′ but 51′. From there, he found that the area of each wall triangle was equal to the square of its height.
Also, the ratio of the tower's height to the circumference of its base is the ratio of the Earth's radius to its circumference, thus dividing the tower's height by two times the base to find the circumference. Taylor believes this ratio is by no means accidental.
He proved that the ancient Egyptians already knew that the Earth was round, and also knew the ratio of the Earth's radius to its circumference. Taylor's ideas were supported by the British mathematician Professor Charles Pitchsmith.
In 1864, after a field trip to the Pyramids of Khufu, Smith. claimed he had discovered more of the mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Khufu. For example, the height of the tower multiplied by 9 times 10 is equal to the distance between the earth and the sun; the circumference of the base of the tower is calculated according to certain units of data exactly as the number of days in a year, and so on.
That is to say, the Great Pyramid contains not only the unit of length. It also contains units for calculating time. Smith's field trip was praised by the Royal Society, and he was awarded the society's Gold Medal.
Afterward, another Englishman, Ferenczi Petrie, mapped the Great Pyramid again with a measuring instrument that his father had refined over 20 years. In his mapping, he was amazed to find that the Great Pyramid's errors in lines, angles, etc., were almost equal to zero, deviating less than 0.25 inches over its 350-foot length.
But Petrie, in the book he wrote after his investigation, rejected Smith's claim that the circumference of the base of the tower equaled the number of days in a year. Petrie's book caused a furor among scientists. How much knowledge and wisdom the pyramids contain is still an unsolved mystery.
5, UFO mystery
Defense Intelligence Agency is a secret intelligence agency within the Pentagon, which is responsible for coordinating the intelligence activities of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force. The Defense Intelligence Agency works not only for the Pentagon, but also for the Central Intelligence Agency.
In the late 1970s, Citizens Against the UFO Cover-Up, a U.S. UFO research organization, submitted a request for access to DIS files under the Freedom of Information Act. under the Freedom of Information Act.
They hoped to obtain from the Defense Intelligence Agency the files it had on the UFO incident. At first, like other U.S. government agencies, the Defense Intelligence Agency denied any connection to UFO research.
Eventually, however, it was forced to release three high-profile UFO files.
The contents of those three secret files, first made public by the Defense Intelligence Service, were the blueprint for the quintessential American Stefan Spielberg film.One of the three files dealt with the September 19, 1976 debriefing of the Iranian Air Force's discovery of the UFOs.
1) At about 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 19, 1976, Iran's National Air Force General Command received four calls from residents of the Mishran area near the capital, Tehran. Those residents said in their calls that they had spotted very strange flying objects in the local sky.
Some said the UFOs were shaped like birds. Others described them as helicopters flashing bright lights. He (referring to the man who drafted the report on Iran's National Air Base) explained to those residents that the so-called strange flying objects could be stars.
After speaking on the phone with the air force airfield in Mehrabad, he then decided that he would immediately go and see those things for himself.
2) At about 1:30 a.m. on September 19, 1976, the F?interceptor was in the air about 40 nautical miles north of Tehran. Because the light flashing from this UFO was so intense, it was visible from 70 nautical miles away.
When the aircraft approached the UFO to 20 nautical miles, the aircraft's voice system and surveillance equipment suddenly failed. At that point, the pilot had to return to his base in Saroch.
When the pilot had just turned the plane's head, not only did the function of the monitoring equipment and signaling system in the plane's cabin come back at once, but the danger of the engine suddenly shutting down disappeared.
At 1:40 a.m., the second fighter jet lifted off. When this plane was in the air 27 nautical miles north of Tehran and at an altitude of 150 nautical miles, the UFO began to appear on the plane's radar screen.
3) The size of the UFO was approximately the same as the size of a Boeing 707 (refueling plane). The light emitted by this UFO was so intense that it was difficult to make an accurate judgment of its size.
The UFO emitted intense columns of blue, green, red, and orange light that varied in sequence as it flew vertically toward the ground. Because the wave frequencies of these columns of light appeared to be very high, they could all be observed at the same time.
When the two interceptors tracked the unidentified flying object into the air south of Tehran, another brightly lit object suddenly emerged from its body. The newly emerged flying body was about half or even a third the size of the full moon in the sky.
Then the small UFO, which had just separated from its parent body, rushed toward the two F?interceptors at a very high speed. One of the pilots attempted to fire a Type 9-airborne interceptor rocket at it, but the control system for launching rockets in the cabin failed and the radio went dead.
At that moment, the pilot quickly tilted the airplane into a high arc, trying to shake off the UFO. He followed up with another dive.
However, the original UFO followed, maintaining a distance of three or four nautical miles for some time.
While the pilot was trying to break away from the tracking, the second, smaller UFO, which had separated from the parent UFO, stayed within the arc that the aircraft had made in the air. After a while, the smaller UFO headed toward the mother UFO and merged into one.
4) Not long after the smaller UFO merged with the parent, another UFO suddenly flew in from the other side of the original parent UFO, and it flew vertically down towards the ground.
5) At first light the next day, a helicopter picked up the two interceptor pilots and took them to the location where the smaller UFO had most likely landed the night before.
There, they found nothing else of relevance except a stretch of dry riverbed suspected of being a possible landing site for the UFO. When the group came to the western edge of the strip, they stumbled upon a very valuable situation.
There lived a family. The people of this house said that they had heard a great noise outside at midnight yesterday, and that this noise was accompanied by a lightning-like glare from the outside of the house.
The people then started to test the area and the two airplanes to see if they had nuclear radiation. If the results come back later, we (in this case the Defense Intelligence Service) will present them quickly.
The file begins with a long list of U.S. government and military agencies, and it's easy to see how the UFO incident in Iran could have attracted a great deal of attention at the highest levels of the U.S. government.
6, the mystery of spontaneous human combustion
The so-called spontaneous human combustion phenomenon, refers to a person's body is not in contact with the outside world fire and fire burning on their own. This incredible phenomenon, first seen in the seventeenth century medical reports. By the 20th century, *** there were more than 200 incidents.
In the early nineteenth century, some people thought that such disasters only befell women who were excessively drunk, obese and lived alone. But later numerous cases proved that the victims were of roughly equal sexes, of all ages from infancy to 114, and in many cases burned on their own in places where there was no source of ignition.
One of the earliest and most well-documented incidents of spontaneous human combustion was recorded by Bartolin in 1673. On that occasion it was a poor woman in Paris who died of spontaneous combustion during the night after going home to bed one night.
The next morning it was found that only her head and fingers remained, the rest of her body burning to ashes. Based on this spontaneous combustion incident by the Frenchman Rael in 1800 published the first paper on the spontaneous combustion of the human body.
Not long afterward, France, Britain, Italy have had the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body caused a sensational example. One of the more influential was the burning death of six members of a family of seven in the city of Lagos, reported on Dec. 27, 1976, by the Arria Herald, which became the most difficult mystery of the time to explain.
The report said, "An on-site investigation showed that everything in the wooden house was intact, even the bedding was neatly placed on the beds, but judging from the severity of the burned victims, everything in the house should have been gone."
Despite the fact that so many police, fire departments, arson case experts and pathologists have come up with quite a lot of evidence, there has not been a sound physiological argument to prove how a human body can spontaneously combust or even turn into ashes.
Conventionally speaking, human organs, tissues and bones can only be burned to ashes in a high-pressure crematorium at 900-1,000 degrees Celsius, and spontaneous combustion is indeed incredible.
In addition, some people have proposed other spontaneous combustion factors, such as meteors, lightning, atomic explosions in the body, laser beams, geomagnetic energy, etc., but under what conditions these can play a role in the formation of spontaneous combustion, there is no explanation. In short, the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body is still a difficult mystery.
7, the mystery of the miracle
Wheat field strange circle (Crop Circle), refers to the wheat field or other fields, through some unknown force (most of the strange circle is human) to the crops flattened and produced a geometric pattern. This mysterious phenomenon is sometimes called "Crop Formation".
The "smooth collapse" of the crops and the burn marks at the nodes of the plant stems in the strange circles were not flattened by human hands, and attempts by MIT students to replicate the phenomenon in reverse with homemade equipment have failed, with no explanation of what kind of equipment or practices were used to achieve the phenomenon.
The appearance of the crop circle has given proponents of extraterrestrial theories a variety of perspectives, and the 2002 movie Signs? [2]? is the subject that connects aliens to crop circles.
8. Ghost Mysteries
In May 2004, a group of urban adventure enthusiasts infiltrated a disused naval dockyard in South Plymouth, England, where an ancient lampshade, a dirty mattress, a tipped-over television, and even a few pieces of collapsed wooden beams were the fruits of their explorations. Suddenly someone discovers a windfall:He hears the sound of a woman crying from deep within the cabin.
9, the mystery of the Shroud
In the northwestern Italian city of Turin, from the 16th century onwards, there is a town of treasure preserved in the chapel attached to John's Cathedral, generations of Christian believers to withstand the worship, this is known as the Christian holy relics, this is the world-famous "Shroud of Turin! "
The Shroud of Turin is also known as the Shroud of Jesus.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the early first century A.D. to the Virgin Mary. Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, began his ministry in Palestine at the age of 30 and gradually became the spiritual and moral leader of the people.
What Jesus did with his disciples aroused the hatred of the Jews, and due to the betrayal of a traitor, Jesus was arrested by Pilate, the Roman Imperial governor in Judea, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion.
According to the New Testament, after Jesus was crucified, his disciples fled in all directions, leaving no one to collect his body. Fortunately, "there was a man named Joseph, a righteous man, who was kind and just ...... This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Then he took it down and wrapped it in fine linen and laid it in a tomb hewn out of stone." Unexpectedly, on the third day, Jesus miraculously rose, and the tomb was opened and disappeared.
When his disciple Peter heard of this, he hurried "to the tomb, and looking down into it, he saw the fine linen cloths alone, and went back, marveling in his heart at what had been done." --This is the origin of Easter in the West.
The Biblical scriptures give no further account of the whereabouts of this fine linen until 1353, when the shroud came into the hands of the Comte de Chagny of Paris, France, and was publicly displayed in the church of Lirey, in his dominions, in 1357.
In 1432, the Shroud came into the hands of the Duke of Savoy, whose house caught fire and the Shroud was only slightly damaged.
The Shroud was then transferred to the Duke's residence in the Cathedral of Turin, Italy, where it was solemnly preserved in a silver box and enshrined on the altar of the Catholic Church of Turin in 1983.
The Shroud of Jesus is 4.35 meters long and 1.09 meters wide, and features a bloodstained image of a scourged and crucified man. The image is 1.8 meters tall, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, his arms crossed over his abdomen, and clear red bloodstained patches on his head, hands, ribs and feet, just as the Bible describes Jesus' state at the time of his crucifixion.
Is the Shroud really a relic of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ? Over the centuries, historians, religious scholars, and scientists have centered their opinions and debates around its authenticity.
Forced by the pressure from all sides, as well as the nature of human curiosity, September 29, 1986, held in Turin, Italy, by the President of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences hosted by the thematic technical seminars, out of the degree of the meeting of the Archdiocese of Turin on behalf of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, as well as scientists from France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and so on **** 22 people.
The meeting reached an agreement to cut stamp-sized samples for measurement by the world's most advanced ultra-high sensitivity gas pedal mass spectrometer (AMS).
April 21, 1988, the British Museum of archaeological authority and the Archbishop came together to Turin Cathedral, the legendary Shroud of Jesus when the crucifixion of the year to cut the length of 7 centimeters, width of 1 centimeter of cloth, divided into three small pieces, in the case of the other party did not know, respectively, were sent to the United States, the University of Arizona, the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, AMS dating laboratory Testing.
The experiments showed that the three labs achieved excellent consistency, with individual results differing within 120 years. There is a 95% probability that the Shroud was made between 1260 and 1380 AD, and a 100% certainty that it was never made earlier than 1200 AD.
On October 13, 1988, Cardinal Balestrero, Archbishop of Turin, officially declared at a press conference that the Shroud of Jesus Christ, which had been held sacred by Christians for centuries, was not the cloth used in the Crucifixion of Jesus, but was a forgery woven in the Middle Ages. The truth about the so-called Shroud of Jesus has now been revealed.
However, the matter was later repeated when scientists reportedly re-sampled and analyzed the Shroud using "microchemistry" and made the startling discovery that the samples from the three laboratories in the 1998 experiments were nothing more than a patch from the Shroud of Turin, and that the new identification of the main body was much older than the patch. this patch much earlier.
The patch was made up from fire damage, and because it was done so carefully, and because of its age, the patch was cut just before the test. The test showed that the main part of the shroud was much older than the patch.
10, the mystery of the sinking of the Titanic
April 12, 1912 is a tragic day - this day, the British luxury liner Titanic sailed to North America on its maiden voyage to the unfortunate sinking. The sinking caused 1,523 people buried in the fish belly, is the largest disaster in the history of human navigation, shocked the world. Over the years, the real reason for the sinking of the Titanic has been the focus of exploration.
In 1985, the wreckage of the sunken Titanic was discovered in the waters off Newfoundland. Immediately afterward, explorers utilized a variety of advanced technologies, even diving into the cold, dark deep sea, in an attempt to reveal the reason for the sinking of the Titanic.
However, those who dove into the water could only see the Titanic's appearance, but could not explore the "wounds" caused by the impact of the icebergs, because the ship's cracks have been buried by thick sediment. That didn't change until 1996.
In August of that year, an international team of diving experts, shipbuilding experts and oceanographers from several countries went into the field to explore the area. It was amazing not to explore.
A whole new narrative breaks with the widely accepted plot of the famous movie "Titanic". In that movie, the nearly 275-meter luxury passenger liner quickly sank in the waters off Newfoundland after being hit by an iceberg drifting head-on and cracking about 92 meters long, taking on water in its hold.
However, the results of this probe show that Titanic was not sunk by a large crack in a large iceberg drifting head-on. Their sonic probe found the ship's "wound". The "wound" was not 92 meters long, but had six small "wounds", with a total damage area of only 3.7 square meters - 4 square meters.
Researchers in order to enhance the credibility of this claim, the use of those data in the computer simulation of the process of the disaster, the conclusion is certain: at that time into the water into the six compartments is not an average of the water into the water, some large amount of water into the water into the water into the water into the water into the water into the water into the water into a small amount of water, which suggests that the impact of open holes have a large and small.
In fact, at the time the ship's designer Edward Wilding had already made this case, but this very important testimony was intentionally or unintentionally ignored. Because it was hard for people at the time to accept the fact that a ship of such magnificence sank after hitting only six small holes!
The ship's "injuries" also had a lot to do with the hull steel, which Russian scientist Dr. Joseph McNeice wrote in 1992: "The hull steel, which is very brittle to the touch, perhaps giving the impression that it could be broken up into pieces by the impact -- was in fact broken up from the side of the ship," he said. -- in fact, a gaping hole was opened from the side of the ship."
The results of studies of hull steel plates by American scientists confirm the above observation that the steel plates of the time had many sulfur inclusions that reduced the hardness of the plates, which was the reason for the very brittle hull steel plates.
There is therefore a general consensus among experts that the iceberg impact may not have been the fatal cause; the suddenness of the impact, combined with the ship's slightly faster speed and the brittle steel plates, was the real reason for the tragedy.
Everything sounds so plausible, yet like all untold events, the Titanic mystery is far from over.
