Why did Titanic sink?
Why did Titanic sink? - This is why Titanic sank!
If you haven't seen the movies or read the books, you may have a nagging
question. You probably heard about the movies and
books and remember that the ship sank, but why did Titanic sink?
Well, the answer is that Titanic hit a big iceberg that made a
hole in it. Then, it filled with water and sank.
How could this happen you ask? Why did the Titanic sink just
because it hit some frozen ice? It happened for three main reasons:
First, the ship was going way too fast considering the fact that there
were many iceberg warnings out there from other ships. Titanic should
have been going slower looking for icebergs instead of ignoring the
iceberg warnings.
Second, the iceberg had no problem penetrating the ship, because the ship
was built with low quality iron. The builders should have invested
in better iron.
Thirdly, the compartments that seal off different parts of the
ship to prevent water from getting into the entire boat were designed
incorrectly. The ship designers should have spent more time on where
to put the compartments and less time on how to design the cabins.
To make things worse, so many people died because Titanic did not have
enough lifeboats and the initial call for help was confused with the ship
having a party on the boat.
