Fifteen hundred people perished with her, a loss that stunned the world.For seven decades the fabled liner lay hidden 13,000 feet (4,000 meters) below the North Atlantic surface. Various expeditions tried to find her, but they were defeated by wild weather, the extreme depth, and conflicting accounts of the ship's last moments.Finally, in 1985, explorer Bob Ballard and a French-American team located the Titanic. Years of painstaking research paid off as they became the first humans to see the great ship since that awful "night to remember" in 1912.You can join Ballard on the search -- and see what his team saw -- through this acclaimed film.
