I remember seeing the film on Channel 4 in New York City (on Saturday Night at the Movies) in the early 1960s. The ship stops sinking suddenly on the way down - and in the pause there is this really loud clanging and banging of noise. Then it plunges down rapidly, and displaces a humongously large wave of water (this in the middle of the Atlantic, where such displacement wouldn't occur) which would actually capsize the lifeboats (so there'd be a fraction of the 700 survivors, if any) and enough left over to sink Greenland!! For years I had nightmares as a result (at the time I was 8 years old).

The 1953 film was the first Titanic film that I ever saw. This scene always looked like the moment where she split apart, but after reading more about the film within the last few years, I learned that (especially since the break-up theory was only a rumor at that the time) this was really the last of the boilers exploding. The boiler explosions were common throughout the film's sinking scenes but didn't happen in real life.

There were two reports of explosions by several survivors. It is very possible they did occur.
