Stage 2 "As the five compartments filled, the next compartment began to fill also. As the compartments filled, the Titanic's bow began to sink." Stage 3 "After the first compartments filled, the next ones did. Then the next, and the next. The stern of the ship began to rise and the bow started to sink more. " Stage 4 "As the stern rose, the angle became so steep, that all moving objects on the ship began to crash towards the bow." Stage 5 "Pretty soon, the lights flickered, and then totally went off. Leaving everyone on the ship, and in the lifeboats, with total darkness. " Stage 6 "As the stern rose, it stood almost to a 90 degree angle. People on the ship grabbed for anything to hang on to. " Stage 7 "With the stern in the air, a weak spot developed between the third and fourth smoke stack, which caused the stern of the ship to break off. " Stage 8 "After breaking off, the stern rested in the water in the normal position. " Stage 9 "After about a minute, the stern was over taken by water, and slipped into the sea. "
