I think I've seen this one befor. This is where they deal with the question of suction by a sinking ship. Well worth a looksee in my opinion.

I saw the program last night and it was very interesting. I like the fact that they conducted an actual experiment in a pool with the appropriate conditions based on the size of the things they were using.

Hey,
I agree, but I kind of hoped that they would find that there was suction in the end to make it more exciting. I still think the Titanic had suction.

I think that experiment failed because it had no compartments that could implode. There was no vacuum on that boat at all, and they were no where deep enough. I was very disappointed, usually they use a bit more care in the replications.
