Just imagine what would happen down the length of the ship and on the interior if something that big traveling that fast had hit an iceberg head on. Catastrophic failure.

Probably would have ramped it. Everyone would have arrived safe and sound with a fun story to tell.

It's the starboard propeller. You can tell by the direction of the cut of the blades.

That is bull. Everyone knows that the Jesuits sunk the titanic to kill Astor and Gugenheim because the opposed the creation of the Fed. The Jesuits wanted to get the Fed rolling to finance their World War I.
I read it in a meme on Facebook.

Second most likely scenario, no doubt.

There are plenty of good books on the Titanic but they are all underwater in the ship's library.

Nope, and neither is the one of the overall stern section.
Artist interpretations.

Still a better cruise than Carnival.

Well, the first give away is the lighting.

Also...the visibility at that depth. Crystal clear water my arse.

man that water (iceberg photo) looks cold, how long would you suffer before you lost consciousness?
Posted on 4/11/17 at 11:13 am to Lakeboy7
Depends. A lot had heart attacks the instant they hit the water. The rest were unconscious within 15 mins and dead within 45 mins.

I stuck my hand in a display at Ripleys Believe it or Not Museum that had the actual temp of the water where the Titanic went down. I was good for out 45 seconds before I had to pull out, couldn't imagine my whole body being in water that cold. It got to be painful.

What they should have done was put the ship in reverse and hit it head on. It would have slowed enough to where the damage would have sunk a few compartments but not the entire ship.
That's certainly not the first thing that comes to mind in a crisis situation like that though.

The Titanic wasn't a SeaDoo, can't just throw it in reverse at a moments notice and slow down enough to bump something you literally just saw and are within feet of hitting.

madeliene was pretty hot

There's also a theory that if they had just turned hard at cruising speed instead of reversing thrust while turning they would have been able to avoid the iceberg entirely.
