 FAIR: As depicted later in _Titanic (1997)_ (qv), the ship broke in  two while still afloat, the stern section first righting itself and  then turning on end. However, these facts were not established until  after its remains were found in 1985. Eyewitness testimony at the  inquiries had been conflicting, and the accepted version in 1979 was  that the Titanic had sunk intact.
