Prehistoric liners' Titanic breakup theory (OUTDATED)

I was talking to Prehistoric liners in a call on Discord when we came up with this theory and I agreed to animate it. personally, I think it's pretty plausible.
The main idea of this theory is to explain why nobody saw the third funnel collapse, since it was the only one not directly mentioned by any survivors. I have only found two accounts that could possibly describe the third funnel collapsing, but there are questionable elements to them.

Harry Oliver: “Recognizing that the Titanic was fast settling down, the crew pulled vigorously to get beyond the region of a possible vortex. Suddenly there was a terrible crash, and the great ship appeared to split in 'twain, if not in three distinct sections, the rending of her timbers and steel plates making a noise that carried terror into the hearts of all. The end came swiftly. One of the huge funnels toppled over the side, and then the bow parted just in a line with the bridge. Tilting forward, the Titanic appeared to be going down slowly by the head, when there was a rush and a roar which led the horrified onlookers to come to the conclusion that the machinery had burst through the bulkhead and had fallen out of the ship. Then for a moment or two the after portion of the vessel looked to be righting herself, and she came up on an even keel, yet with a lurch that raised her stern high in the air. For a brief period, she remained in this position, and then vanished from view, whilst at that moment the air was rent with cries of ‘Mercy!' and 'Help!’.”
This account is quite confusing and his statements don't seem to be in the correct order. The funnel that he saw topple is very much up for debate, some have told me that he meant the fourth funnel, others have told me that he meant the first or second funnel.

Percy Keen: “We saw the lights go out and through the darkness we could faintly hear shouts for help mingled with cries of agony and despair. The ship seemed to break in two forward of the first funnel, which crashed down on passengers and crew. There was a terrible rumbling sound, which we believed was the machinery breaking and tearing through the hull, and this was the end of it. The Titanic and all remaining on board her were swallowed up in the ocean.”
We can guess that he meant the third funnel considering that Thomas Ranger also referred to the aft funnels as funnels 1 and 2, but clarified that the 'second' funnel was actually the dummy funnel. However, this is one of two accounts that he apparently gave on the same day, the other one suggests that a different funnel - the fourth - fell.
Percy Keen: “We saw the fore part of the ship break away up to the foremost funnel, and it appeared to us that when the ship had listed heavily to port, the engines fell out and crashed through the side. The second funnel broke off, and killed a number of men in its fall.”
So yeah, no confirmed witnesses of the third funnel's collapse.
