Haven't downloaded it, but I know the piece of film you mean. One of her magazines blew up as she went over.

I saw the video, and IMHO is the sea water through the funnels to the engines room. the engine boilers full of steam exploded.

On a ship like the Barham, even with high pressure watertube boilers, the only evidence you'd see of a boiler explosion would be what blew out of the funnel. |

I am a former member of Titanic Historical Society and as a amateaur expert, the Braham exploded from her forward magzines. As you view the video clip, you see that it was too devastating to be a boiler explosion and it was forward of the boilerroom. It seems like it begins at the waterline or above it. Not beneath it like a boiler explosion.
