The heartbreaking sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912, still fascinates people around the globe more than a hundred years later. During its first journey from Southampton to New York, the so-called ‘unsinkable’ ship collided with an iceberg, resulting in the tragic loss of over 1,500 lives, including both passengers and crew.

In spite of this devastating tragedy, one eerie question remains — why were so few bodies found among the wreckage, given that more than 1,500 individuals lost their lives?
