There are a lot of theories about how Titanic sank, but one thing is for sure, a series of errors made by the crew and passengers I think lead to this disaster, one of the officers I heard somewhere was telling himself about what a bad idea this is.I brought this game, Dive to Titanic and it's very spectacular but short in my opinion,so here's my idea, if you use your imagination it will be more exciting....
It all started in port, when she was about to collide with other vessels or just about run aground but thanks to the quick reactions of tugs the the officers on duty disaster was avoided for now. As seen from a lot of documentaries, other research and more, Captain Smith was unusually relaxed about his final voyage.
Titanic was equipped with the latest radio tech which will even work in bad sea conditions, but the rich and famous were too eager to request crew to send out messages to loved ones back on land, as the ice warning were received quite lot of them never got the crew's attention and were missed out and the crew had their hands full sometimes as well. As the crew and captain were unaware of the ice-bergs they were carrying on general duties. When they were close to ice berg on that night, the crew have take the wrong actions but the ones on the crowns nest have done their jobs, the life boats had a capacity of 70 but they did not know that, so they could of saved more people, plus not enough life boats.As you all know the famous "Unsinkable Molly Brown", as rumors say she took charge of the boats, that false but what she did is kept all the survivors warm and made sure they kept their distance from the ones in the water until they all went quiet. Going back to the begging, when they were building the skeleton of the ship and as they were putting them all together, they ran out of steel so If I remember correct they used Iron, therefore made the ship weaker.The beginning of the first step of making the ship was a disaster waiting to happen.

I was a big Titanic fanatic, but now I see the Titanic as just a ship which got well known by the movie.

The spirit stood strong in everyone for a lot of years i gotta say plus when the latest 20th century movie was released the spirit kept strong.

The reason tita...zzzz..n..ic sank is because she rammed a lump of hard ice doing a high rate of knots. It made a big hole in the side and she filled with water. What more is there?
1. How do you know how Cpt Smith was feeling?
2. The 'latest radio tech' was a Marconi morse sender and was installed and PAID FOR by sending passengers messages and it was never really designed for ship operational matters.
3.They ran out of steel and switched to iron? Do you know the difference? The big issue was a)steel will give a little, iron won't at all, it'll split. b) welding was somewhat primitive at the time so it was all rivet construction which is weaker.

People are living a LEGEND. That is all. There have been other sinking you know!
