[QUOTE="David G. Brown, post: 104333, member: 136775"] There is a tendency to think of the funnels as falling from the top down. It probably did not happen that way. When Britannic sank it was noted that the funnels toppled as water reached their bases. The opinion is that hydraulic forces of downflooding moved the supporting structure and caused them to collapse. In Titanic, we see pretty much the same pattern, although it is not so clear because of darkness and, perhaps, the breakup. However, funnel #1 seems to have toppled when water got to its base, and the same with #2. -- David G. Brown [/QUOTE]
