I heard it was Jewish space lasers that took it down.

In conclusion then the ship may have survived the iceberg hit with minimal damage if the hull metal was not weakened by the out of control coal fire which raged for 3 weeks. Expert says it may have weakened the strike area by as much as 75%.

But are there other experts who say, "Pshaw!"?

Secondary factors were that the ship was proceeding too fast at 22 knots (26mph) and no one on watch had binoculars which would have given enough early warning time but they were locked away in a small cabinet with no key and no one thought of breaking it open.

Everybody knows the titanic sank because the diesel motor had a rod bearing failure and threw a rod right through the hull. The root cause is debatable, either inadequate lubrication from the so obviously too thick 10w60, or a stacking of manufacturers' clearances on the motor parts that caused a critical too-narrow of bearing clearance.

Maybe they should have sailed directly at the berg and hit it square on? Would have damaged fewer compartments that way... I agree though that it probably had shell oil instead of liqui moly, and that's almost certainly what caused the catastrophic failure of the hull |
