TIME (2008) REVEALING THE TITANIC'S SECRETS
In his book, Titanic's Last Secrets, Brad Matsen tells the story of wreck divers John Chatterton and Richie Kohler and their search for the truth about the Titanic's sinking in 1912. More than just a tragic iceberg crash, the story the divers uncovered is one of bad management, shoddy construction and an ocean liner that sank so quickly that most passengers didn't know what was happening until it was too late. Chatterton and Kohler talk to TIME about deep sea diving, investigating shipwrecks, and the allure of the Titanic....

They encountered two huge sections of the bottom - 60 feet by 90 feet - from the area where the ship had split in two. That led to a new theory about how the Titanic had sunk. ...
