It was Bruce Ismay’s fault. He kept calling the ship’s whistle the “horn†and insisted that Harland & Wolff use the H key instead of the W key. The bridge kept pressing the W key hoping the icebergs would get out of the way.
Well that would explain it completely, then.
Perhaps now that we have solved the problem, we can write a completely fictional true-life documentary and include lots of facts about things that didn't happen, like the crew of the Enterprise beaming in 10 seconds before the collision, fighting with Darth Vader and finally escaping with Luke Skywalker into the Matrix while Commodore Ismay presses the V key to try to vaporise the looming iceberg. Of course, this is a valiant but doomed action, as the Daleks are inside the robotic iceberg, intent on destroying the Titanic.
Then we can have endless posts here by lots of knowledgeable experts telling us how they know better because they once saw a film about it.
Would that work for you?
