Digital replica shows the violence of how the ship ripped in two as it sank after hitting an iceberg in 1912 .

Computer simulation suggests that punctures in the hull the size of A4 pieces of paper led to the ship's demise.

The scan provides a new view of a boiler room, confirming eye-witness accounts that engineers worked right to the end to keep ship's lights on.

The scan is providing new clues about that cold night in 1912 , but it will take experts years to fully scrutinise every detail of the 3D replica. "She's only giving her stories to us a little bit at a time," said Parks Stephenson . "Every time, she leaves us wanting for more.".
