What happens

Saving the Titanic, aired in Germany as Die Helden der Titanic, is 2012 Irish-German television docudrama directed by Maurice Sweeney, and written by Colin Heber-Percy and Lyall Watson. Unlike most films and series depicting the ship's passengers and senior crew, Saving the Titanic dramatizes the engineers and the boiler room crew who kept the furnaces and generators running as the Titanic sank, facilitating the survival of others. "100 years after the sinking of the Titanic, Saving the Titanic is the untold story of the self-sacrifice and dignity of the ship’s engineers, stokers and firemen in the face of impending death."
