Really good program the BBC had on last year. I believe the Discovery Channel also put this on when the 92nd anniversary rolled around. It's got a couple of notable actors, and it makes you think a bit deeper into the subject (though it does have propaganda against Germany, even suggesting that the knew that they were . There are ELEVEN parts, but I'm not going to put links up to them all. This is the first part, so work your way on from there:

My personal thought on the ship is that she was carrying munitions during the time of her sinking. Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the RMS Titanic in 1985, has concluded that coal dust igniting is EXTREMELY unlikely (which was originally proposed by several people and researchers). The film reinforces this idea, but Britain has continued to deny it, or so I've read over the years. We'll likely never know, as the bulk of the wreck has been smashed to bits. In fact, the British navy used the wreck site as a depth charge training area, and there are STILL unexploded charges around the wreck that are STILL very active and very deadly.
