The BS is, they use it for any possible battleship sinking. They never used it in it's original context, since Austria Hungary isn't even on their radar. There's such a rich story attached to that clip. It was filmed from the decks of the Prinz Eugen, which was another ship of the same class. And they tried to save the Szént Istvan for hours and nearly succeeded. It was already hooked to another ship to be towed to port.
Yet, the bullshit channel just uses the clip, probably without being aware of it's history.
