i just watched a documentary "claiming" that it was an insurance scam, it wasnt even the titanic that sunk it was her almost identical sister ship which had previously been damaged, so they swaped them so they could get the insurance for it or something like that blah de blah
was well dull and not very interesting, not one alien mentioned

I'm telling yer, it was swine flu. It ran epidemic across the ship and to contain it, they sank it. [surrender]

Ninja's could've stopped it..........

Were there Democrats in the White House at the time?

If the Titanic had only reversed her engines, not turned to port and slammed head-on with the iceberg, would she still have sunk?

Could the Titanic have survived even if her entire bow was anihillated by the collision with the iceberg?

(The Titanic sank because her starboard side was slashed by the contact with the iceberg. Too many compartments were flooded - 5 vs max. 4 - and water overflowed the bulkheads, dooming the 'unsinkable' ship.)

I heard a few years ago that the Titanic would have been much better off had it hit the iceberg directly instead of scraping the apparent sides of it.

It either would have stayed afloat much, much longer or could have limped to the closest port in Newfoundland.

Then there's stories like these which raise even more questions all these years later.

No, as the bulkheads that make the compartments didn't go all up the ceiling to make each compartment watertight. The water flowed over the edges to fill the next compartment.

Also such a heavy ship don't stop or goes backwards with reversed propulsion. That takes long distance and time.

[Bigroza]

Ah yeah I remember this too, do you know what the reasoning was for the watertight doors not going all the way to the ceiling?

[QwOpHGyZ]

True, I have been on three cruises and one of them we actually had someone one board, a worker, who jumped overboard and the Captain decided to slow down and turn around to possibly see if the employee could be found...took several hours to do that.

[PetraCromlich]

Seems to me the bow of the ship would be strongest. Reverse the thrust to help slow down some and hope for the best.

[MinisuipGaicai]

They should of taken off, nuked the iceberg from orbit. Only way to be sure....

No question - the plates were made of an iron alloy that was brittle at low temperatures - likely the damn thing would have split it's plates and sunk even faster.
In truth, though, no-one can say.

[oxixernibioge]

I believe the ship attempted to turn port side to avoid the ice burg but was unable to.....They also set there engines to well I suppose High in an attempt to make the ship turn faster.....[thumbdown]

[furious1]

It probably wouldn't have made a difference. Chances are the hull would buckle considerably on impact. This would also likely mean that many of the compartments would be breached.

Now my question is, would those two still had sex.. if it had not sunk ?

Did Swine Flu exist back then?

Yes i believe so..
