The REAL reason The Titanic Sank

This is the Titanic. Most people were taught that this ship was just because she hit an iceberg. If you believe this, you have been lied to. The

reason

the Titanic

sank

is based on her design. If we go back 3 years, the Titanic wasn't even good. It had not yet been built, but this was the Edwardian era, a period known for excess among the upper class, this excess wealth would create an opportunity to justify and finance the creation of the ship considering the society at the time the ship was built. boat to sail as an embodiment of luxury and sophistication. $7.5 million was the cost in 1912.

A little inflation calculation shows it equals $200 million today, which was enough money for the designer to see his ideas come to life. Thomas Andrews, the naval architect who was designing the Titanic, included cutting-edge safety measures. a double bottom pavilion, 16 separate water weight compartments and an extensive network of bulkheads, the ship would be powered by both steam engines and cold fire boilers, considering the rapid improvement in technology this era was experiencing, the ship's interior design would also take advantage of these capabilities. It would include advanced amenities like electric lighting and wireless communication technology and, of course, exquisite craftsmanship among the beautiful decor, but we're not there yet.

At the moment it is just an idea, a construction of this size was a huge task, but due to the incredible power of money at the time of such financial inequality it was nothing to get 15 to 20,000 workers employed for the project, so while the project required a collaborative effort from a substantial workforce comprised of boat builders, engineers, carpenters, metal workers, welders, riveters, plumbers, electricians and wellmen. the list goes on the liquidity of finances made this disturbingly complex engineering project surprisingly feasible it only took 3 years and the ship was complete this brings us to factor number one one of the three main factors that caused the sinking of the Titanic here it is built in your Unsinkable Glory, except it wasn't 16 separate compartments for the weight of water, that sounds good, but imagine an ice tray, sure it's protected from the sides and bottom, but when one compartment receives water from the top, it becomes It easily overflows into the other compartments they were in.

It is not built to handle a breach from above. Recent studies have also shown that the steel and rivets used on the Titanic would become brittle in cold, bitter water, combined with the design of the bulkheads that allowed such a breach in Humanity's number two factor. Engineering flaws are easy to criticize now, but at the time the ship was verifiably unsinkable in everyone's mind, so safety precautions faced complexity - there were warnings of icebergs when they set sail on the April 19 maiden voyage. 192, but that didn't stop. to the captain of the ship navigate the ship at a dangerously fast speed in search of a record speaking of carelessness did you know that the lookouts on the Titanic did not even have binoculars they had them on board and they were inside a locked cabinet whose key was in an officer which was replaced at the last minute due to negligence caused by this arrogance of the supposed unsinkable nature of the ship factor three the iceberg despite these defects after mentioning that the Titanic would have been completely fine uh-oh that's an iceberg maybe a factor minor and rather a catalyst that exposed the above two factors, so yes, the iceberg caused the Titanic to sink, but it was designed to withstand such a collision, it was overconfidence in the design that led to the ship being exposed in the most catastrophic way possible.

The iceberg looked small from above, as it was mostly underwater. We've all heard that saying the tip of the iceberg well, in this case it was quite literal, the Titanic would suffer incredible damage beneath the surface in the icy depths of the ocean and the water weight compartments would become the ship's undoing as it They would overflow one on top of the other and weigh the ship down like a tray of ice, so even though it was sinking, at first you didn't even notice it was that bad when you

real

ized the complete panic was happening. There were an inadequate number of lifeboats between the crew and passengers and many of them were not properly inflated.

This lack of communication due to the initial impact meant that the crew did not have adequate time to prepare for an evacuation. The nearest ship was 19M away, but their radios were off and they couldn't respond in time, so yeah, pretty much everything that could go wrong, the ship itself and those responsible, the iceberg was just the tip. from the iceberg, yes, I used it twice anyway, bye.
